00:00Obviously, if we look at David Moyes' spell at West Ham, it was up and down, and then
00:10they went on and he achieved European places. He then returned a trophy, which was quite
00:14remarkable really. Then when he did get sacked, you felt that he may have got a bit hard done
00:20by. He's clearly a top flight manager with loads of experience. Do you think it was the
00:26correct appointment from the new owners? They've obviously come in and they've laid it out.
00:32We obviously spoke a number of times whether Deitch's future was in the balance or not.
00:36As you mentioned there, it can change in a matter of weeks or a matter of results. Then
00:41Deitch goes and Moyes comes straight in. Do you think they should have looked elsewhere
00:45or do you think they've made the right appointment for now and for the future as well?
00:51I think it's the right appointment on the balance of things. We're in a position to
00:59try to wait and get a target in. We're in the position where they might not be able
01:04to get a target over the line. We've got to go back to the drawing board because results
01:08aren't easy. You can get quickly dragged into a relegation battle. In big games, you want
01:13someone in charge. You don't want someone like Leighton Baines. It was fine for the
01:16Pittsburgh game in the FA Cup, Leighton Baines seeking charge. You need someone experienced.
01:22You need someone who will give Evan a shot in the arm. David Moyes, his job at West Ham
01:27was absolutely magnificent. You have to say, he won the European trophy, had them challenging
01:34for Europe regularly. He's done well in not just the Europa Conference League but the
01:38Europa League as well. He's done well. Look what's happened at West Ham since he left
01:44with Julian Lopetegui. He's obviously lost his job within the first six months of his
01:50tenure. I think he was very underated. He's obviously learned a lot since he left Eton.
01:57Probably, I don't think he could get any unluckier at the time and he left to take charge of
02:05Man Utd, given the circumstances there. His record wasn't that bad. Yes, there were a
02:10couple of Real Sociedads and Sunderlands didn't go as planned for him. West Ham, in the last
02:16few years, he's a proven Premier League manager. He's obviously learned a lot in the 12 years
02:23since he's been away. He'll bring all that experience back with him. You might see a
02:28little bit of a different Moyes at David Moyes 2.0. The only thing I think some supporters
02:35maybe will have a little bit of an issue with his contract length, two and a half years.
02:40Some might have said we'll get him until the end of the season but he probably wouldn't
02:44have wanted to stay until the end of the season. If he wants another job, he wants to have
02:50a real good fist at it and prove to everyone that he's still capable of operating at these
02:55levels.
