Everton Fan here. Grew up watching David Moyes and he saved the club from the brink of relegation and turned us into a competitive team. We played some great football and signed some terrific players under him. We haven’t been the same since he left. All the best David!

29:30 Man Utd

Brilliant manager. I'm unbelievably happy he's got his reputation fixed. One of the most underrated in the game!

Moyes is the nicest guy in football I’ve ever met outside of football. Just general day to day chats with his when he used to come in to my old work, great bloke, family are respectful and very down to earth also. Brilliant to see him doing well and getting the praise he deserves 👍🏻

I'm a West Ham fan and he is the best manager we have had in years. Realistic, honest and decent. I hope he stays. If he went back to Man United I would be gutted.

Loved this podcast lads, big man utd fan and great to hear David's point of view on his time at the club, he's doing great things at West ham now and long may it continue

Moyes was the 2003, 2005 and 2009 League Managers Association Manager of the Year . . . He's had some very good seasons at Everton & now at West Ham alongside tough times at Man Utd, Sunderland & in Spain. If he wins the Europa League Cup with The Hammers it will be well deserved given his commitment & persistent professionalism. For me Moyes demonstrates failure doesn't have to be the end: if you love what you do & your approach remains honest & true - if you stay committed to a vision you might be given another chance to succeed. I'm not a West Ham fan, but I would be genuinely impressed & pleased to see David Moyes lift another trophy (if we count the Charity Shield). It's clear how hard he's worked & how much it would mean to him - Good luck Gaffa!

Despite his departure, we'll forever be grateful for his time at Everton for consistently having us punch above our weight, in recent years its clear what a job he must have done 👏

Moyes was like emery, they were scapegoats and not backed. Neither stood a chance. I felt sorry for both of them for being treated so badly.

I'm a Liverpool fan. But I respect Moyes. He is modest, humble, not arrogant, keep his feet on the ground. He has a good attitude.

Always struck me as a good guy, genuinely pleased to see him rebuild his reputation and respected again.

Really enjoyable guys. One big thing that David said that really resonated was the importance of building a strong network. Many successful leaders in my industry have told me that.

Good honest man David moyes he took over at a bad time from tbe in saf but he’s come back made good with West Ham good luck to him ✌️

Great interview and hos philosophy is very simple. He's not a great manager he is a great leader.

David was brilliant you lear from listening to him not only about football. Experience what he has been through passionate about life not giving up just get out there do you bust that what I got from listening to him 👍

He's a great guy. Really dedicated to his Art, a hard worker and an honest man. If the Premier League was not so focused on International Managers think he would have been a shoe in for another top 4 club.

Fantastic conversation. As a United fan, I thought he at the time didn't really grasp the fact that he needed to evolve from his level at Everton to master the United job (including keeping coaches and looking for better players than Fellaini to sign), so it was very interesting and very impressive to listen to how he today looks back on that too short a period. In hindsight, even though that season was disappointing, he should have been given at least one more year. With Herrera and possibly Kroos on the way, it might have been a different story. Respect.

David Moyes and West Ham are a great fit. He's doing brilliantly. We love him :) COYI!

he looked a shell of himself at united! love that hes getting his flowers again now with west ham

Really great insight into a Premier League manager's career to date P.s - I'm a Man Utd fan and I still believe to this day that Moyes should be the current Man Utd manager

HUGE hammer GREAT pod tbh didn’t want Dave but the man is brilliant still wasnt 100% before listening to this now I’m all in

It’s a shame no one told him the saying ‘you don’t want to be the guy to follow THE guy, you want to be the guy who follows the guy who followed THE GUY’ It’s a shame I think in hindsight Utd probably should have gave him time as they aren’t any further forward 10 years on.

In moyes we trust.....BTW great interview....proper questions.

I thnk one of the biggest problems for Moyes was he dismantled the backroom staff that was already in place. He should have done that gradually I think. Bring your assistant from Everton sure but dont change too much too soon.

Top man. Hugely underrated.

As an everton fan I miss this fella being manager

Players like Rio Ferdinand need to take the blame for David's failure at United. They simply thought they were better than him and didn't respect him. They used to refer to him as 'Everton'. It's a shame David didn't get the United job after the old, established players had been moved on/retired.

Simply absolutely fascinating

This was precious! Thank you guys !!!

I still love Moyes💙

As a west ham fan he mentions playing the youth in minute 23 aprox .I wish he would have used them this season we have some good onee

As a United fan I think David Moyes is an excellent manager. He joined United at the worst possible time and our group of players right now would make any manager look bad. I only hope the board let Ten Haag come in and rip the club apart from the ground up because thats whats needed at United.

as utd fan, i think he will be successful if he dont removed or change the club structure ( also the coaching staff) , but yeah the board also not suport him to buy a player he want . so it was moyes and board error to manage that things. respect and enjoy your UEL trophy mr moyes .

Brilliant interview

He’s an articulate guy and I think he is clever & can get the best out of players. I respect him, doesn’t bother me that he is an ex Celtic player

Loved this! Could listen to David Moyes all day, great manager and great channel

love this lads!

No one could have ever survived the job after Alex Ferguson. The expectations was unrealistic and too high.

As a Utd fan, the only problem I had with Moyes at the time (and this day!) was his decision to remove the back room staff. I understand why he did it, but it was clearly the wrong move. Respect to a great man and manager though, in a different universe he would be Utd boss under different circumstances and would no doubt enjoy success

Excellent! Thank you

This was great.

Absolute tip-top manager. Any club should be proud to have him at the helm. Look at the fantastic job he's doing at West Ham. A great watch, thanks.

That Dyche comment aged well

I love David Moyes from his 11 years at Everton, but good lord that outfit, grey on grey on grey. Davey man, you're not doing much to shed your dour image! I hope you keep Wham up, as long as it's not at Everton's expense.

Watch him at Preston as player and manager. Great defender and manger

Solid manager and a great guy.. a real shame it never worked out at MU, but lets be honest that was an impossible job.. so glad hes back

Doing great job with West Ham ,

Lolz. "Is it your job to be vulnerable?" at 13.00. Yes, says David - arms firmly crossed. He's old skool but at least he's trying and he's created the best West Ham team in decades so hats off.

He was fired by Utd as soon as top 4 was not attainable- same as LVG , Mou was looking that way as was Ole - I think they’ve been pretty consistent

Mint 🔥

I agree when he said SAF didn't buy the best players.....that's right he didn't..he developed them

I'm pleased he's showing his class again. Man Utd came at the wrong time unfortunately.

Always been a good Manager, the only thing that stopped it working and Manure was Filling fergy's boots. 👍

Cannot understand why United sacked him after less than a full season , he inherited an aging team from Sir Alex , yet OGS got 3 years and took the club backwards . Love that he is West Ham's Manager , and i hope he stays and wins a Trophy or 2

“HIGH PERFORMANCE CIRCLE” 😂😂😂😂

west ham are lucky to have this manager

One thing Mr Moyes could have said was that he is successful 'at the moment' . One of the things that he must have observed over the years is that things can change very quickly in football. It is very easy for the wheels to fall off overnight. So his biggest achievement at West Ham has been to establish a degree of consistency. This has led to a degree of success more than anything. Of course a 'hard work' ethos amongst the team and staff helps and establishing a style of play that everyone understands and buys into helps. He seems to communicate that very well and that may be assisted by an excellent backroom staff that he has assembled around himself. The players trust him and welcome his input. But there are limitations to his approach. Over the past few years he has navigated the transfer windows quite poorly, admittedly not wasting money, but not investing it especially wisely either. He has allowed very expensive players to leave at great loss to the club (Haller and Anderson) without properly replacing them. He has brought in new talent cheaply (Soucek, Bowen, Coufal, Lingard) but not always successfully (Yarmolenko, Banrahma, Vlasic, Kral). Developing a better scouting system must be one of his current concerns and to be seen to bring in top quality players who can improve the team by not being afraid to spend. This summer will be pivotal if he is to move forward as many of his stalwarts are coming to the end of their contracts or their careers (Noble, Ogbonna, Fabianski, Cresswell, Fredricks etc). Also, he rarely makes use of the talent from the under 23s academy who currently have an excellent crop of promising youngsters (Alese, Chesters, Okoflex, Forson, Perkins etc) He also seems reluctant to use players on the bench, preferring to rely on a very small group of trusted individuals who always get picked to start. This works well until they become injured or when the fixtures pile up. Michail Antonio is a case in point who has no obvious replacement and has commented that he would like more competition for his place to motivate him to raise and maintain his standards However, as far as representing his employers, the club, the players and the fans, he does a fantastic job. He embodies a common sense, down to earth and humble philosophy really well. He seems somewhat old fashioned by modern media standards, but that only serves to improve his profile. Never too happy, never too miserable retaining his dignity. No controversial soundbites but lots of common sense. He has shown great ethical standards too. People like him. People respect him. But the real test of David Moyes will be whether he can leave a lastng legacy of achievement: silverware, glory. Improving West Ham's level in the Prem year on year is important, European competition is important. Great games at the stadium create wonderful memories. But to be considered as a trully high achieving British manager he must win trophies! He must bring home silverware! So far nothing. Fingers crossed. Come On You Irons!

It would be great if English clubs had that Spanish policy, the international team would massively benefit from their culture.

I'd love him to come back home to Everton

I have no doubt at all that Moyes would nail the Utd job now.

He should get it now. After what he has done for West Ham hard to say he is not qualified.

Could you imagine the man utd fans accepting moyes buying soucek £18m, coufal £5m, then the championship players.... Bowen £20m, Benrahma £25m, dawson £2m with the money that club has but I'm sure they would love to have some of those players in a red shirt right now instead of some of those £50-£80m players putting on the red shirt. He has said all along its about buying the right player to fit the system & not just buying anyone just to appease others

How is this guy not in the conversation on what manager would be available next season oh my criminal

Moyes was an Excellent manager at Everton and I'm looking jealously at West Ham wishing we still had him. Although I am behind Lampard now he is here. Unfortunately Moyes burned his bridges at EFC with some Ill thought out and disrespectful comments around the time he left for Man Utd (a decision that no level headed Evertonian would have begrudged him - moving to a bigger club, one of the biggest in the world). Regarding his time here, he turned us from relegation battlers to a team capable of finishing regularly 5th - 7th and even got us 4th. Took us to a Cup final too. He got Everton to be relevant again for around a decade which other than 95-96 and 13-14 we haven't been during the PL era. His flaws were in his courage against the top sides away from home and couldn't win us a trophy. His best attribute was his eye for the right type of signing. Something we have missed since about 2015 when Martinez started off our decline. A top class manager. Wish him luck.

Top man felt bad for him at United

31:10 that guy in the pink hat 😂

Moyes jinxed Dyce

Moyesy’s biggest mistake at United was being the manager to directly follow Sir Alex - impossible job

With Double Glazers owning the club, no manager has a chance

If I had my way I'll have him back at man utd any day

Could he do a job now for Man Utd, now that his profile is on the up?

moyes deserves a trophy at west ham

Sacked too soon. Doomed taking over Ferguson.

Nice jacket Jake ....

Easy to say now. Always been a fan. Really Really wish wba had got him when his stock was down. Laughable him going to us now

With the benefit of hindsight, the "problem" was obviously Manchester United...NOT David Moyes. It was a club that had high expectations, and a desperation for post-Ferguson continuity. There was little patience for anything which resembled a backslide....and Moyes (in the fan's eyes) was not really deemed to be the kind of first-class "trophy" manager they thought their former success had now earned them. A "Klopp"...a "Guardiola" ....a "Simeone" etc. This lack of foresight IMHO lay squarely at Ferguson's feet. He'd built United up so strongly, that they didn't need to go out and try and replicate the "Ferguson" model and it's ethic all over again (the Moyes appointment) That foundation was already laid. United simply needed to maintain their competitive momentum....and ought to have appointed somebody much better fitted for that task. Moyes mistake was failing to "read the room" in allowing himself to be seduced by Ferguson and believing that United fans would be far more patient and forgiving than they actually proved themselves to be. Ferguson's endorsement of Moyes would only ever grant him a rather brief period of patience and tolerance. Once this was exhausted...(and it very rapidly was)...Moyes received the full wrath of United's fandom and swam right into the unforgiving gaze and scrutiny of the media. Manchester United was heading for it's earliest spell of post-Ferguson dysfunction....and Moyes became just one of a number of the club's failed, managerial "whipping boys".....(They've since appointed three more who suffered the same fate...) As I said....it was a "Manchester United" problem in all truth and reality. Moyes walked straight into a very poisoned chalice of a job....and it was never really likely that it would be a rewarding experience for him.

If David Moyes looked 8 years older, he'd be decomposing...

Moyes looks like a star wars baddie in this

Why is he wearing that big jacket... This video is good fun for a few minutes

He's done really well lately, get him back in for another go.

It's sad as I think he has phenomenal potential, but I think Potter will come to the same conclusion about Chelsea one day

Coyi....in Moyes we trust

get ready for the typical social media reactions from bots. "I always liked moyes, he's a good guy wish he was still manager" what im trying to say is, they just need a good talk and people are so suggestive, he becomes a nice guy (not that he isn't) . People on social media jeez.

He came to united with a small club mentality, setting out to not lose games, signing a player for a load of money who was never good enough for the club

Right person arrived man at wrong time:)

Stay away from social media, Moyes! It's abyss of moral decay!

I tell you what Moyes, we'd all be quite happy with you going somewhere else now....

I would have David back at United ,he was not given time , if he was given time up until OGS managed the team , I seriously think David would still be at the club ,lets be honest United couldn't be any worse ,no disrespect meant there , I just think given more time eh would of pulled the club around

in the future he could be back at united one day

He would replace Klopp at Melwood with Wayne Rooney as his assistant. #YNWA #HeIsOneOfOurOwn

"Maybe Dyche might" do ten or eleven years. Here we are a week later and Sean Dyche is sacked. Another man who was not backed by owners and got scapegoated. A shame

The main problem with Moyes was that he went to Man United and was instantly negative, playing down expectations and just being very dreary in press conferences. He did not exude any confidence. Then weirdly, Mourinho who used to be The Special One, the confident one, came in and was also very negative. Man United need someone with some positivity.

Interesting to compare this with Eddie Howe’s interview. Different styles of management. Howe’s a cut above this guy for me.

Dychie .... I think he will definitely last another 40 years , trust me !

The moyesiah

He did well at Everton, but Moyes seemed overwhelmed by the United job. It was too big for him.

47:45 Won't be Dychie as he's been sacked!!

Does anybody here, think Moyes would have been the right choice for Man Utd NOW? We have ended up with Ten Hag over Poch and yet in Moyes, we're looking at one of the finest managers in the game and we're looking at his 6th place now, Immediately following SAF in a very different context, because literally NO manager since, has managed to turn things around. He is a BRILLIANT manager. Just LOOK at what he's doing at WH. They're better than US!!!

David Moyes could have been 20 years older when he took the United job, and he still would have been sacked by them 100%. When Fergie said thats enough, its finished", thats when things fell apart, Moyes couldnt do right for wrong, then the fans started having a go at the guy, then the players thought, christ Moyes aint Fergie, so down tools, and Moyes was sacked, ridiculed, and slung away. Its took him 4 years, to get back to what he does best, which he discribes in this Pod Cast, but if the Players dont want to listen, hes doomed, but this squad he has, want to listen, and learn and give it all, and now they are seeing their work come together, never look back David Moyes, look forward. Now it took Moyes 4 years, how long do you think it will take Utd to get back up to the top..................Well firstly not until those players are put back in to their places, so it will be a long long time.

Moyes is a very good PL manager. But the truth is that he's never going to be a Man United level manager and it was a huge mistake by Man United to appoint him. IMO the only reason he got the job was because he is Scottish and it was another in the long line of awful managerial recomendations by Alex Ferguson. I don't blame Moyes for taking the MU job because I think it's almost impossible to turn down an opportunity like that, but Man United want and need someone on the level of SAF, Pep or Klopp and Moyes is never going to be that. Man United appointing Moyes is similar to Liverpool appointing Roy Hodgson. They are both good managers but they were promoted way beyond their levels.
