Moyes has been underrated as well. The Man Utd stint tarnished him unfairly

TBF, it's taken Moyes years to rediscover his mojo shown at Everton. He was terrible at Sunderland and West Ham the first time around.

Like all of them - give them a bigger budget and theyre great. Moyes doesnt need as much as Mourinho, Pep though.

If anything, Moyes is one of those managers who doesn't do well at a big club but will invariably do well at clubs a level or two below the bigger ones.

Moyes is at the perfect level of club for him just like at Everton. Where he’s got a team full of very good but not super star level players who buy into his coaching. He would never work at one of the very biggest clubs where massive egos wouldn’t put up with his tactics and style.

It is pretty hilarious that West Ham have a MUCH better manager than the club who sacked him, though. 😂

He'd be rubbish managing neymar, Pogba. Hes Ferguson without the hairdryer treatment, more a Dyson airblade

Absolute shambles from Spurs. Hired a manager that they didn't want and now they're gonna fired him because they botched the managerial search in the summer and hired someone for reasons why he wasn't even high on the list in the first place. 

Not to mentioned having to pay him off around £10m after only 10 league games as well.

A number of poor decisions in the summer coming back to haunt them much sooner than most thought.

Can't believe City went into the season with just Gabriel Jesus of typical strikers. That is like us having only Abraham for example and no Lukaku and Werner. 

He is their only recognised CF and ironic thing is he plays out wide for City. I am not sure if Jesus has started one game in the CF position for them. They have played with Foden, KDB and Torres in that position. Jesus been used as a winger. They will have games where it works but also games against opposition (eg Palace, Southampton), where they fire blanks. I was relieved when they did not buy a CF tbh. Thought it may give us an advantage.

Ughhh. Mourinho and now Conte, two managers I’ve loved, going to a club I detest. 🤢

Whilst I don’t think even Conte can get this mess of a Spuds team into the top 4 this season I’ll still hate to see him go there.

United fans are in meltdown, though. 😂 Imagine if they fuck it up against Atalanta and get smoked by City at the weekend and Ole is straight back into crisis. Then they’ve missed out on the only world class manager available by mere days. After they were responsible for handing Conte the job at Spuds! It would be glorious.

You are underestimating Conte impact, he could make them a contender for the top 4.

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Joke club man, why would Conte even contemplate going there? But still rather he goes to spuds than udt thats for sure.

Contender for sure. Kane will finally have a manager who will wake him up from his tantrum. But I don’t think their squad is good enough even for Conte yet. I can’t see them finishing above United even with Ole at the wheel.

Ole basically already lost more than half of United's dressing room, he is a dead men walking.
