Moyes was initially my first choice but I think his mind was always on getting back to England. Good luck to him.
Nonsense mate. Moyes wanted a 5 year deal and was desperately disappointed to lose out but Brendan was seen as a more progressive manager.

Good luck to Moyes and he'll need it as Sunderland could be a real banana skin career wise.

It was but Moyes wanted 5 years. Might have been the real reason the board chose Brendan :hmmm:

Added to the fact that Brendhino engages the Irish element of our support.

Desmond seems to see himself as some kind of impressario when it comes to the fitba, and he would likely view Rodgers background as a selling point for Irish season-books.

For me, Moyes was the obvious football candidate, and if it's a fact that he wanted a 5 year deal, this points to him looking to establish a dynasty at the club.
There are obvious splob-type ramifications to that scenario.

Moyes was my first choice, all the way, but it would certainly have led to the demise of Splob.
Which was an added bonus :)

Who knows, maybe Moyes will end up here at some point, though hopefully not when he's going to seed :lol:

How would appointing Moyes have been the demise of Lawwell exactly?

He's already had two banana skins in his last two jobs.
Three in a row would see him heading for the Phil Brown route of managing perennial League 1 strugglers.

I think it would have diminished his power over the football side.
Certainly, if Moyes had been given a 5 year contract.

It wouldn't have I would have thought. Clubs aren't ran by managers anymore, this is the way things are now and is the same with other clubs.
Lawwell is there to do a job, whether we agree with this or like it (I don't) is another matter. It wouldn't change because we brought a new manger into the club.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepengages the Irish element of our support.

just to say, whilst there is probably mileage in what you're saying about the way clubs are run these days, there are surely better qualified people to do that type of job than splob

I'm lost on your first point.

Second point I agree with. As I've said I don't like him and would rather someone else was doing the job.
It still wouldn't change the fact that the manager wouldn't have control the way they use too though :thumbsup:

Not convinced Moyes was the football choice. Different styles of management, with Moyes being more 'typically Scottish' in his approach - well organised, compact, and Rodgers preferring to be more expansive and attacking. Not a huge amount between them in terms of what they have achieved, except Rodgers has arguably proven that he has something of a temperament for a club our size.

Why would Moyes have been the end of Lawwell?

Dr Opt: "Why would Moyes have been the end of Lawwell?"
see post above for my thinkings (skewed or't otherwise :thumbsup: )

edit to add; hopefully any lingering thoughts re Moyes will be blown away by our scintillating fitba, anytime soon :pray:

The demise of Splob has begun. He will be gone in two years or less.
