I think the board and so desperate to not seem like City/Chelsea that they'll keep with him until then.
This is what I have been saying for a few months now. We are far too arrogant to admit that we have made a mistake and will stick with him for at least another 8 months or more and by that time the damage will be done.
Since Moyes has been appointed I have not seen a single, and I do mean just one reason why he is the man for the job.
He can't motivate the players.
His tactics and substitutions are poor.
His training methods have been criticised.
His old team are much more feared under their new manager.
We don't work as hard as we used to and we are outclassed in most games.
His attitude towards losing is appalling.
The staff he has brought with him are under-perfoming.
Without CL football we will struggle to attract players we want / what will Woodward and Moyes actually manage to do based on last summer.
Every other top team that has stuck with a manager when things are not going well has had a reason to. When Liverpool were not doing so well under Rogers they were at least playing good football on a regular basis. We have seen nothing positive at all this season.
Its like the big taboo in football at the moment. Don't say that Moyes needs to be sacked because we want to think that longevity in a managers role trumps skill and quality. We don't want another home manager to be found out as wanting when it comes to the big stage. Week after week on match of the day the pundits avoid even mentioning the idea that Moyes is a
****less idiot who should be sacked. Instead they talk about how it will take years till he makes the squad his own and does this and that.
When we lose to Olympiakos and finish mid table by the end of the year we will still be sitting there complaining about luck and how surprised he is about everything. The only thing that should still be surprising him is that he still has a job.
