I was all for giving Moyes time. I understood that it would take time for him to put his stamp and authority on the team ( it's only been 8 months) and with the debacle that was the summer transfer window, it was always going to make it that much harder. However, he has a title winning team, and even when you allow for the fact that several players of that team were on their last legs (Evra, Rio. ) it still does not account for the frightening drop in quality, confidence and league position.

If you look back to last year and the appointment of BR at Liverpool, you may have sneaked a little peak on their page in the name of entertainment. He's head was been called for, by October. But to be fair, there was a significant percentage of them defending him to the hilt and calling for, the ever so rare commodity in today's footballing environment, time.

Which brings us to the current dividing line of those who want to see Moyes sacked and those who want him to have a fair chance to succeed:Time.

And herein lies the difference between BR and DM when we draw parallels. BR offered a light at the end of the tunnel. The team were evolving their play for the better. Dm has devolved us! Time shouldn't be offered for free, it should at least cost you hope, and sadly I have yet to see a smidgen of it from this man at the Helm.

And I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe when DM has the players' he wants to execute his style of play on the pitch - can we truly judge him fairly.

Thanks for letting that through Ed. I was sure I was signed in.

Moyes is unfortunate when it comes to getting players that suit his style of play.

Kenwyne Jones has just moved, Andy Carroll is either injured or banned this season and Peter Crouch seems happy at Stoke :)
