David Moyes claims he is feeling no pressure whatsoever as he prepares to take the squad into the second half of the season.
The manager has regularly claimed we will not find ourselves in relegation trouble and seems confident he can guide us back up the league table.
That hasn’t stopped many – ourselves included – in expressing big doubts as to whether he is the right man to address the problems we are now encountering.But let us make one thing clear. This is an issue on which we hope we are wrong – regular changes of manager do absolutely nothing for the stability of a football club.
And we sincerly hope we see the team emerge with victories from the next three league games and quell the anxieties with which have all become are all far too familiar down the years.
Speaking at his pre-match Arsenal press conference the manager insisted there is no pressure on him and he has a great relationship with the board
He explained: “No (there is no pressure). I’ve had great conversations with David Sullivan and as you get older, you don’t feel the pressure so much.
We’ve had two or three years of great times and sometimes you have dips and at times like that you need the board and everyone to stick together.
We’ve looked to see what we can do better and how we can improve. The players have shown a great attitude, but it’s not like we’ve always not played well.
We need to be a little more clinical when we’re trying to score and more ruthless defensively as well.”
Well, the Punters are not happy and can turn very ugly if they don’t like what’s going on, so David Moyes can say what he likes – he’s under pressure and he knows it. What the Board do if things don’t improve is anybody’s guess. They’ve been generally supportive of Moyes but David Sullivan is unpredictable! 🤔
Totally agree the club and supporters should be together and we will hopefully work our way out of this problem.
Let’s not forget the board is one of the reasons for our current problems. Making a statement that Moyes’s job was safe no matter what was the start. Then there is the manager that spent £170 million on players that he didn’t think were either fit enough or good enough to play…. Still confused on that one!
No matter where we finish the board need to give serious consideration as to where they think we are going as a club be it with Moyes, Rice or any other player. What is clear is they are very close to losing the supporters. Hopefully during this time Moyes has read up on different tactics and will put a very poor late 2022 behind him, coz with out a decent run in the Europa Conference we are not going to get many players wanting to come loan or not. Also can I ask what happened to this super recruitment team that we had…..not earning their money yet are they?
