No, I totally respect your opinion and in a world where people barely manage to mask who they love and hate in football it is clear you have the heart in the right place when it comes to discussing the game. I don't see LVG as a Messiah but he's the type of boss any company would need to change direction and turn a new leaf. I think he's done a lot of great things but those that criticise him seem to forget how much harm Moyes did to the club from players to fans and even to the tea lady. She will not have enough confidence to pour water in a cup for LVG but maybe in time she will.
I think Moyes was just a fall guy and what happened was inevitable considering the power that Ferguson wielded there. There have been four other clubs with managers that have been that big, Liverpool, Leeds, Derby and Forest. Liverpool were lucky enough to have a progression but once that was up look what happened. Once Clough was gone - from Derby and Forest - look what happened, same with Leeds and Revie, hastened thanks to Sir Brian. Moyes was a strange choice though.
I can't pretend I don't dislike any club, I always like Liverpool to lose. And Leeds for that matter. I can't help it.
