Why is david moyes so good

He had even spoken to a couple of prospective signings as he started planning for the new campaign. Yet a day after the season finished, he was told there would be no new deal and he was leaving, quickly replaced by Manuel Pellegrini. Then, out of the blue, it wasn't there. To the credit of co-chairman David Sullivan and David Gold, they were willing to swallow humble pie and ask Moyes to come back 20 months later when Pellegrini's reign turned sour.

Again, the task was to pull the club clear of relegation trouble. This time, Moyes received guarantees about what would happen if he succeeded.

However, not even Moyes expected the improvement to be so sudden or take them so far. Not that he is taking anything for granted. A revealing look at the contrasting fortunes of Beckham, Zidane and Ronaldo following the World Cup.

Moyes, who is grateful to have support from his family, considers how he has changed. We have many owners now who are incredibly wealthy but need to allow the managers to do their job. The love for the game endures, though. Moyes is ready to talk about the bad times — losing a Champions League play-off to Villarreal after finishing fourth with Everton in stung, as did falling to Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final in — and he comes alive as he reels off the good moments.

He buzzes about West Ham securing a last-minute win over Chelsea in July He remembers a year-old Wayne Rooney announcing himself to the world with a stunning goal against Arsenal in We have to keep everyone keeping the standards up.

The manager as well. What is different about this time, however, is that Moyes returns to his old employers equipped with not only the best visiting side he has taken to Goodison, but the best team of his managerial career - his words, not mine. Yes, there have been one or two blips, but we've played some really good football, we look exciting.

And, as a coach, I will win by any means, it's my job to win and I want the team to be top of the league winning games.

Moyes' second stint at the London Stadium has seen the dramatic transformation of relegation-threatened West Ham into European qualifiers in the space of a single season.

For the first time in a generation, the Hammers fanbase have a team and a manager in which they can believe, and a brand of football that may just tick all the criteria needed to be classed as the 'West Ham way'.

Moyes insists such a conclusion rests in the hands of West Ham supporters, but what is certain is the challenge on juggling a domestic schedule and a maiden Europa League group-stage campaign is one the year-old is relishing. I hope this isn't a short-term thing, I hope we can build on it into the long-term. Moyes continued: "As a manager, I am loving it. West Ham back in Europe is such a big thing for us. At the end of the Rapid Vienna game, we had over 50, there, it was incredible.

He had a good reputation at Everton and was proven. I thought at first it was a mistake for him to go to West Ham, but he has proven all the naysayers wrong. The Irons play some fabulous football and are well placed in the PL for a Europa spot.

I wish him continued success at West Ham. Reply posted by R, at 9 Feb R R replied: Moyes is doing a good job at United right now , there is more than one United and I do not mean Dundee United.

Better sticking with Moyes than the pay off, then cost of Van Gaal and Jose. Never been spectacular, but has proven steady. Am glad he is doing well. Reply posted by paul hirst, at 9 Feb paul hirst. He was never given the financial support by the board like Van Gaal and Mourinho was either. More replies 9 down. The guy is solid, and he's doing a frankly unbelievable job. I'll take that, and the top 6 position we've been in for the last few weeks.

Ferguson stayed on a year too long as a result of being pipped to the title in and wanted to win one more time. Amazingly Ferguson did it again in but at the cost of handing over a worn out team, the one handed to Moyes. That's the reason why he didn't do so well there. No impact on his reputation. CileyMyrus replied: Ferguson dragged that team over the line, he did all but score the title winning goal.

It left Moyes next to nothing to work with, certainly not a squad anyone, bar Ferguson, could achieve success with. Fellani was a warning sign though, a good example of good for a good team, but, nowhere near good enough for Utd. I would have liked to see Moyes team 3 years down the line.

A British manager in the PL is in the minority as so many clubs go with foreign coaches these days that tend not to last long,DM knows this league and has more experience than most of what it takes to survive in it.

I was happy for him to stay, but when MP became available, I was in two minds. Happy Hammers. Comment posted by Commentier, at 9 Feb Commentier. All that matters is results. DM strikes me as great bloke, in the old fashioned British manager mould in a good way.

I wish him well. Comment posted by ericlemagnifique, at 9 Feb ericlemagnifique. As a Man Utd supporter, I felt Moyes was treated very badly by them.
