We know what the problem is and we do not deserve a manager better than Moyes, even if we could get one (which we couldn't).
I liken him to a 4 door Hyundai. No one is going to thumb through What Car and think wow what a babe, I cant wait to own one of these! But it is going to get you safely from A to B with boring reliability.
If his answer to fixing Pellegrini's mess of Anderson & Sanchez is Soucek & Bowen, then I am quite happy for him to continue with that.
We need to take a few steps back and look at it objectively. The club is a toxic cesspit and that will never change until GSB go. In terms of wealth, they are like average income mom and pop as we call them over here who can comfortably afford - well, rent from the taxpayer
- a nice 3 bedroom family home in Dartford, some nice gear for the kids and a couple of weeks in Spain each year, but it is beyond their means to put an S Class AMG or Panamera on the front drive and upgrade to a detached place in Sevenoaks with a pool, sauna and room for a pony. So a bland but affordable Hyundai it is.
We can't go down, it would be a disaster and we just need some stability to establish ourselves the higher end of mid table. Expecting anything more than that is unrealistic for now. Unfortunately the boring Hyundai is probably the best chance of securing that short term if he can bring in more players of the ilk of Soucek & Bowen to fix our other problem areas. It's not sexy Citeh or Chelski football, but we can't go toe to toe with them, so we need to be more like Blunts or Burnley to achieve that objective by getting in hard working fighters rather than lightweight glitzy ballerina types. Wolves would be the ideal model, maybe they are like an Audi S4 or something, but we are nothing like them in any aspect to begin to emulate them. So we need that boringly reliable Hyundai just to keep us motoring along with the big boys.
With GSB in charge, all you can do is switch the Hyundai for a Kia if you're lucky, but more likely get an Allegro, Montego or Cavalier from the 80's. We tried the classic Ferrari, but the dealer failed to them it was broken and only ran when you could coast down a hill. When you hit the bottom, despite a couple of false dawns from bump starts, um, you need to get the Hyundai to come and pick you up. Unfortunately it was middle of winter and snowing and the Hyundai didn't have snow tires... but it melted off and the going got easier for us to pull ourselves up out of the brink of the abyss, maybe we can be thankful for the boring old Hyundai after all even if we don't like it and causes some anxiety along the way... after all, what does our song say? Fortunes always hiding...
