Some jobs are just too big, or are square peg/round hole; the Scot looks a pale, frightened man, consumed by the pressure - enough is enough
With heavy heart, but few alternatives, I’ve changed my mind about David Moyes.
After the abject home defeat by Liverpool, where Manchester United were lucky it wasn’t five or six instead of 0-3, this week's clueless display in the derby against City was one humiliation too many at Old Trafford.
All the way along, I’ve stuck with Moyes because I like the bloke, he’s a terrific man and I believed he deserved a chance to build his own dynasty.
But in football some jobs are just too big, or they are the wrong fit.
Just as Roy Hodgson never quite clicked at Liverpool, I fear Moyes and United might be destined to remain square peg and round hole.
