Gone

About eleven months too late .

My understanding is that he was NOT best pleased that he wasn't going to be as supported financially as he had hoped with the owner trying to sell the club and maybe if he had known this prior to joining he might not have accepted the job.

Think that his total spend was @ £35 Mill but he lost players like PVA,Fletcher,Kaboul, Coates, Bridcutt etc for probably @ £16 Mill.

Looks like he resigned at Sunderland as he won't be getting any compensation.Not been good for Moyes in recent seasons when you consider Man Utd, Real Sociedad and now Sunderland.

I agree he's not the worst manager but he awfully dour. Talk about a stereotype.

Didn't do a bad job at Utd when you look at how things have panned out since. Probably the single biggest problem he had at the time was that Woodward was new and fairly clueless. He seemed to think players would just sign for its and they didn't have to pay market rate. Then there was a mad scramble and they ended up wth Fellaini

I seem to recall that he was not best pleased to find out that funding was not as he had anticipated with the owner looking to sell and that if he had known beforehand he might not have accepted the job.Obviously I am NOT privy to any discussions that took place between Moyes and the owner before he agreed to take up the challenge at Sunderland.

Off the top of my head, Moyes' signings were Mika (G),Oviedo, Love,Lescott, Djilobodji, McNair,Pienaar, Denayer (Loan), Gibson, Ndong, Anichebe, Januzaj (Loan).Might have been more.

He lost the likes of PVA, Fletcher, Kaboul,Coates,Bridcutt and maybe more than this.His 'Net' spend wasn't that great in PL terms.

Maybe any compensation as suggested just wasn't in the equation based on the circumstances of his severance ?
