Professional commitment to the job is sufficient. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club has lost a lot of connection with the fan base and is distant and I would like that restored. I think having that feeling for the club right now is important. I get what you're saying but I just don't see any strong candidates out there who have a connection with the club.

It would be purely a bonus. If a manager met every single one of Richard's made up criteria except that one, it would be insane to not employ him because of that. It would be even more insane to prefer another potentially poorer candidate just because they possess that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Moyes interested? Absolute no brainer for me and I don't even really like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i might be more inclined to listen him.....as opposed to listen to you. The point is fairly clear I think. Just because he's Dennis Mortimer, doesn't mean his opinion is any more valid than anyone else's. It doesn't mean he's correct in his thinking, it doesn't mean he's got that much more insight than anyone else. I exaggerated the examples to try to clarify that. Evidently I was wrong. You raised Dennis Mortimer's thoughts to back your position. It doesn't mean anything. It's just another persons opinion. It's no more valid than any pundit. It doesn't support or make any more valid. It's pretty much an inversion of the Hitler fallacy - just because Dennis likes it, doesn't mean it's right.

Supervillan78 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 After the last few seasons I just want some stability. I'd much rather have Moyes than someone (potentially) controversial like Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Moyes isn't English. I want a British Bulldog manager. Like Allardyce or Dyche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt whoever we get will be in charge until the summer. I expect it to be announced sooner than that, but I would guess Black will remain in charge of the first team until the season is over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious way to restore the connection between fans and club is success on the pitch and that is all that will ultimately be cared about (the appointment alone would begin this). I also see Moyes as a pretty genuine guy who certainly isn't afraid of a challenge. He may be motivated by his own interests (restoring his reputation/challenge) but so would 99% of other managers, that's the way it is. If the best man for the job wants it, we should make our best possible efforts to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
