FORMER IRELAND INTERNATIONAL and Everton coach Kevin Sheedy has criticised under-fire Manchester United boss David Moyes, claiming he was “never interested” in the youth team while manager at Everton.
“All of you out there moyes was never interested in our youth team or players. In my 7 years moyes showed no intereset [sic] in our youth team,” he said on Twitter.
The former Ireland winger also seemed to endorse the view, expressed in some quarters, that Moyes is an overly cautious coach. He responded to one tweet by saying: “George chill. We now have a Manager who wants to win games.”
In addition, the coach appeared to be unimpressed with their performance and playing style against Liverpool yesterday, tweeting: “Punt the ball up to Fellaini. Great viewing.”
Bloody hell, where did that come from!
The well of truth
Wonder how vocal sheedy was when moyes was his boss. I think we can all guess
Didn’t want to lose his job I’m sure.
Sheedy was probably protecting the kids….
Moyes is the best thing to happen to football in 20 years. People should have more respect for him. Like the Liverpool fans’ banner yesterday said, he is a football genius!
Paul, in all honesty, because this has been going on for a while now, normally I would try to make a case but at this point, this remark puts a smile on my face.
Must of been hard for Sheedy. Everyday at work coaching kids for 7 years telling them to do this , do that and work hard, all for the goal of developing players for the first team. When in reality he probably knew these kids were going nowhere at Everton.
Prob like most top half premier league clubs in all fairness tho, like v few of these clubs are actually using their own youth developed players
I think it’s the arsenal fans that are the champions of waiting.
Reckon Harry would have been a better choice! Players have no confidence in manager. Harry a fantastic player manger.
Go on the sheedy, great goal, corner of the net.. 1990 Ohh love it sir, love it.
Everton is a good team but they’re not as good as Arsenal – 2013/14 champions in waiting.
Waiting being the important word there!..waiting they will be!
It’s great Sheedy has the courage to speak out.
