The difficulty with David… (Photo by George Wood/Getty Images) David Moyes: Now 63 years of age, and with 750 Premier League games as a manager to his name. Only Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have taken charge of more matches in the competition. Moyes has won 290 of those matches (38.
7%) losing 263, and overseeing 197 draws. Of his 750 games, 480 have come in charge of Everton, across two spells. All this is to say, Moyes knows a thing or two about football management.
Moyes also has a long track record to point to — his Everton team in his first stint regularly punched above its weight. He turned West Ham into a team regularly competing to qualify in Europe, and even going on to win a European trophy. And one thing is clear: Moyes will not change.
He has many qualities, but he can also be very frustrating, mainly due to his pragmatism, his overly cautious nature when it comes to the key moments. Rightly or wrongly, he is often judged as coming up short when it matters. That’s not often fair.
