And if he doesn't it will be four successive failures. Could be a costly gamble for him in the long term.Quote:

West Ham are doomed.
Accepting a 6 month contract, hasn't he any pride?
Millionaire David Moyes takes a gamble? Yeah right! Harder to get off the managerial merry-go-round and hoover up the money, poor sods.
Moyes' managerial record
Club Games Wins Losses Win %
Preston 234 113 63 48.3% ( did well )
Everton 518 218 161 42.1% ( made them a respectable side )
Man Utd 51 27 15 52.9% ( had no chance ,better than LVG ,if only Wellbeck had scored the sitter against
Bayern ??)
Real Sociedad 42 12 15 28.6% ( crazy move for a very British manager )
Sunderland 43 8 28 18.6% ( no one woudl have saved Sunderland look at them now )
I would be happy with him at the City going up to Premiership, knows his stuff
What s the latest odds on West ham going down?

I just don't get this win percentage malarkey. One singular win and 99 losses seems to trump 100 draws.Quote:

Points per game ratios are probably better, but even then Mourinho will always have a better ppg ratio that Sam Allardyce or David Moyes.
If you were out of work would you take a short term type deal at an agency?
It's better than being sat at home and having to explain that when you eventually get an interview for a permanent position I suppose.
To answer, probably is yeah.
(I know you weren't knocking him with the post my first point is not having a pop back at you in case it comes across that way)
Actually, yes I would.Quote:

Credit to Moyes in that department, I mean, he did take the Sunderland job on too!
He's in the premiership and on paper there are worse sides in and around West Ham.
It does look weird in black and white text though "6 month deal".
Arguably a good deal all round. Moyes probably isn't on that high a wage either. His reputation isn't exactly high at present and he will be looking to rebuild his managerial career after a number of failures. West Ham hope that's the case, and in the process they won't have to pay compensation to another club for poaching their manager. If Moyes turns things around, everyone is a winner.Quote:

Can’t believe the 6 month deal is getting slaughtered. Surely this should be the way forward for clubs. Why give a manager 2&3 yr deals when they might turn out to be duds? If owners see an improvement in 6months, they can then offer a longer deal.
