Mmmm... I think Moyes wasn't that bad at his time at Everton imo. He outfoxed even the great SAF at United and some of the other big clubs too.
I remember when they lead Manchester United against Bayern in UCL, Rooney was surprised when Moyes came up with a defensive tactic with an explanation Bayern is a big club, they are strong, his history blah blah... Hey mate, you are manager of Manchester United, which is at least equal in importance with Bayern Munich.
He sucked at United, sure... I was just giving some credit where credit's due. He was not bad at Everton. And at that time, a lot thought he had potential to be great if only managed a big club (again, at that time).
He was even earmarked by SAF as his replacement at United.
