Those that use statistics to divide people into two different types of people, and those that don't. I would never try to divide people into two different types of people. It's your sort that do that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're as poor as us when we went down, plus they're likely to lose a player that scores all their goals. We didn't have a single player to lose to cause that much extra trouble. Here's hoping they see McCormack as the man to plug that gap. Their parachute money will be in excess of ours, we might even get a fee for him. The Northeast have been very good to us recently and long may it continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for moyes bet he regrets rejecting us for Sunderland considering we are on the up while they are sinking quicker than dropping a log I agree give me Bruce over moyes any day Yep, I think everyone was still thinking of the Everton Moyes, hard done by at United and a dangerous overseas assignment fish out of water. His star has truly sunk now. Thinking about it Everton were often a bit up and down under him too. A good season was often followed by a bad one. Maybe the truth is he got a bit lucky with some signings, and Everton were always better at keeping hold of their better players than the likes of us. They managed to hold the club up for those good seasons more than Moyes perhaps. Yes Bruce for me all the way over Moyes. I think we had a lucky escape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm not sure what the argument is anymore. I think we all agree that purposeless possession is a waste of time. I don't think anyone really cares whether it's 45 or 55 percent. I think everyone, including the manager, wants to see us be more clinical and less panicky when we do have it. Because there will be times we concede goals. Let's try and be even better? Nowt wrong with that as an aim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chairman at Sunderland pulled investment on players. No chance of any manager keeping that current Sunderland squad in the Premiership. Lerner did the same to Garde. Could never understand why Moyes went to Sunderland in the first place. With the same investment from Xia I feel he would have brought in a replacement for Kodjia and not lost as many points as Bruce did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He opted for Sunderland in the summer ahead of coming here and must have known what he was inheriting there budget wise. Regardless he has now failed in his last three jobs. But it was never a Bruce or Moyes choice regardless I'd have Bruce over Moyes who looks finished. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still prefer Bruce right now and Moyes reputation has definitely taken a battering whatever the circumstances. He's definitely made some very poor career decisions.
