1. No he didnt, SKY did.  It just so happens his success co-incided exactly with the massive upturn in revenue from SKY et al.

2. If I was pushed to support a prem team it would be liverpool actually, this doesnt alter thast fact that Moyes is over rated.  You'll see.  2nd highest paid manager in the prem and has spent plenty... usually badly and never won a single trophy.  Royle managed it with much less, why hasn't he?  All Moyes has brought the the prem is dogmatic and unattractive football.  You might say he cant do anyting else with what he has to work with, I say this is an illusion and he gets the players he wants to play the style he wants to play.

3. Fergie didn't even win the UEFA cup?  is this sarcasm?  He wasnt in the UEFA cup, he was almost always in the champions leage... where he usually failed, last season (11/12) was a fine example of massive under achievement in Europe.

If it was just SKY then why were other Clubs in the prem not fithy rich too? Where was Southampton's glorious millions that gave them the ability to buy players for 15 million a pop to sit on the bench? The success of Man U in the early 90s was a key factor, while coinciding with SKY's tv deals also with world wide expansion of media coverage, promoting the 'Beckham' brand for example around the world pulled in millions for Man U.

Isn't that all any manager does? You have a certain style of play that works for you, Moyes has worked that well into Everton (see Harry Redknapp for example his policy is to milk the club for all it's worth and then ruin them). That said, I don't think he'd be right for Man U mind you, he's good but just don't think he'd fit.

Little sarcasm, yeah but it's true. The EUFA Cup is 'easier' compared to the Champions League and the years they were in it, they still didn't win it. It's like he couldn't be bothered with it. Some clubs would love to be in it and win it.
