What do we think will need to happen before Moyes goes?
I could write a VERY long post about how terrible and predictable his tactics are, how even I could set up a league 2 side to exploit the glaring faults in our defensive phases, and how completely, pathetically incapable he is of changing things when things aren't going well, but i'll spare you all that and just question 'when is enough, enough'?
If you're the owners and you're quite detached from things, the league position isn't bad, and the results are inconsistent but mostly fine. Do we need to wait until the good players leave and the teams around us improve, so we slip towards relegation, before they actually act?
Personally, I would actually love if DM was shifted into DoF and someone young and with some understanding of tactics (Carsley? ) came in as manager, but i think we're stuck with DM for the next few years at least.
{Ed025's Note - i think he was brought in to do a job Alex, stabilize us, get us clear of relegation and consolidate the team making us a viable entity in the prem, i dont think the owners see him as the long term solution unless things change and we head up the table into possible European place contenders, to be fair he has managed his brief but he is very pragmatic and some of his selections are baffling as well as his inability to adapt to other teams formation changes, its not great to watch at times and so frustrating when he fails to use substitutes early enough to effect the game, thats just how i see things though mate..

Don’t expect him to leave until the summer at tbe earliest. He’s doing the job he was employed to do.

The worrying thing for me is that I don't see him leaving until he's asked to, and i think that, on paper, he's doing a good enough job that there's a good chance the owners won't be doing that any time soon.

Moyes was brought in to do a job. Given a 2 1/2 year contract, to stabilise the club and stop the decline. Although it's not pretty, he's currently achieving that target. Cut the guy some slack .
