Originally posted by Willo 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. Edited by Willo (23 May 2017 9.01am) Some half decent signings there. As for losing PVA that wasn't until January. Moyes was quoted in late august when asked about being in a season long relegation battle : "Well, they would probably be right." Some more quotes on being in a season long battle: "That's where they've been every other year for the last four years, so why would it suddenly change?" "I don't think you can hide the facts. People will be flat because they are hoping that something is going to dramatically change - it can't dramatically change, it can't." It really wasn't a positive start!

Moyes was quoted in late august when asked about being in a season long relegation battle : "Well, they would probably be right."

Some more quotes on being in a season long battle:

"That's where they've been every other year for the last four years, so why would it suddenly change?"

"I don't think you can hide the facts. People will be flat because they are hoping that something is going to dramatically change - it can't dramatically change, it can't."

Uh oh. Another s*** manager rattling around like a pea in whistle hoping to find a dugout to be safely seated in when the music stops. ============ The Ferret ============
