David Moyes calls 2014/15 Premier League the 'poorest I've seen in a long, long time' after English teams fail again in Europe

Former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes believes failure in Europe has exposed declining standards in the Barclays Premier League.


Moyes is manager of Spanish side Real Sociedad, a job he took up in November.
He has been linked with a return to England with West Ham, where Sam Allardyce remains in charge, but appears comfortable in La Liga.

While Spanish sides have flourished in Europe this season their Premier League counterparts have struggled, with none left in the Champions League or Europa League after Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Everton bowed out this month.

'I think this year you'd have to say it's probably the poorest Premier League I've seen in a long, long time.

'Maybe we do go over the top and recently we have maybe talked up the Premier League more than what it's actually been. There's other leagues which are certainly now comparable.'

Moyes expects to return to the Premier League, but not in the near future.
'I think someday I will,' he said. 'I've left when I didn't expect to be leaving but what I've taken on is a great job.

'I love working in Spain.'

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'.
