KEVIN SHEEDY, the Everton academy coach and former player, criticised Manchester United manager David Moyes on Twitter yesterday.
Sheedy has been on the coaching staff at the club since 2006, and is currently in charge of the under-18 side, so has first-hand experience of working under Moyes before he moved to Old Trafford last summer.
"All of you out there Moyes was never interested in our youth team or players," Sheedy tweeted after United's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday. "In my 7 years moyes showed no intereset [sic] in our youth team."
Asked if that had "done his head in", Sheedy replied: "Yep, he did." The criticism continued. "Punt the ball up to Fellaini. Great viewing."
This was soon followed by: "We now have a Manager who wants to win games. COYB."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
