Moyes has took a top 8 club consistently to the top eight.
Not exactly Ferguson is he? He took Aberdeen to European glory.
People need to shut the fuck up about this average guy and stop comparing him to the greatest manager ever, because he happens to have a Scottish accent as well.
Maybe we can get Billy Connolly as our next man? I mean he's won as much as Moyes and has a Scottish accent, so he MUST be good, surely?
You'll be delighted to hear that I won't log on again until just before we are going to play you next season but...
Moyes immediate predecessor (sp), Walter Smith, never got us a top half finish. In fact, he was fired for fear of relegation. God - my low point was a 3-0 home defeat against Ipswich while he was in charge.
Moyes then got 7th the following season, which was followed up by an end of season DVD called 'The Magnificent 7th'. Funny how times change isn't it - that was an Hell of an achievement back then.
Before Wally we had Howard Kendall Part III - survived on the last day of the season. In fact, in the 90s, we finished in the top 8 only once and that was Royle's season after the FA Cup win when we signed Kanchelskis.
So "has took a top 8 club consistently to the top eight" is so far off the mark it's like a Thomasz Radzinski finish. Moyes however has achieved stability that we had not experienced for many years prior to his appointment.

Hughes got sacked and was 10 points above Everton.
Says it all.
I think it says that Everton had an horrendous start to the season with injuries. Not many other clubs could handle missing their best defender, midfielder and second best forward missing until February.
I don't think it paints a true reflection at all.<br /><br />-- Sat Mar 27, 2010 10:02 pm --<br /><br />
