Moyes rightly lays down transfer window law
That’s not our expression but comes from a CandH insider who admits there will have to be a big change in the way things are approached given the Covid19 situation
However, that seems okay with Moyes who speaking publicly made it clear that he wouldn’t be doing the job unless he had the full and final say on transfers.
And quite rightly he added that managers lose their jobs by their decisions and, although there was no implication involved, it’s clear he doesn’t intend losing it at anybody’s else’s hands or decision-making process.
It was something that needed saying for prior to the Pellegrini fiasco when the board took their hands off the whole situation it was well known they were having an input on targets.
Moyes’ statement makes it clear that he wants the same scenario as the departed Chilean is understandable and correct.
The club seriously needed a manager who knows the game inside out and backwards as we go into what is bound to be a Championship target-directed summer.
David Sullivan will now resume a role to complete transfer deals once they have been identified by David Moyes but the 57-year-old boss is determined to have scouted every target whilst continuing to do so ahead of the winter and 2021 windows and intends to ensure that his choice of players is final.
