Safest job in football ?
Are we using this expression too often?
Moyes is in good standing because he has done his job remarkably well. So well, in fact, that his peers rate him as one of the very best in the business.
Our club are traditionally loyal to managers, if you look at our history, despite not having one in the early years. This wouldn't stop a manager from getting sacked though, should he be unable to manage the squad, and managing the squad comes in many forms, of which only David Moyes can enlighten us with, not me.
His job is 'safe' as some say, because he is proving to the board year after year that he is the best man for the job, and not, because we can't afford to get rid of him, as somebody said. Those who are against him are ignorant to the positives he brings, often because their expectations are unrealistic, and analysis of his on field performance lacking in understanding, not to mention real life facts and information, that only the back room staff have.
At the end of the day, unless you are in the business of football, then you are 'not' in the business of football, and any opinion outside of that business will normally be an uneducated one accompanied by inexperience.
Of course we can kid ourselves that we know better, but do we?
