Hide Ad@MJPotts17: Quite probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard from an SAFC manager in years. Yes, Di Canio included.
@RoryFallow: Moyes on why he dropped on Ndong. Needed “Britishness” in the middle. I'm done. David Moyes Brexit football.
@shellsy87: We need more “Britishness”?? Ndong is our record signing #sackhimnow #safc
@ezbeezy214: #Moyes obsession with “Britishness” is so concerning as hell. It's also really weird. #SAFC

@Soz_abar_me: David Moyes is a huge fan of Brexit. Certainly goes some way to explain why he's a complete failure as a football manager
@ATVS_JakeNazar: David Moyes saying his team needs more “Britishness” as his team marches towards finishing 20th is everything I need right now.
@MattyCrichton: Understand the Moyes criticism but does anyone honestly believe any available manager could keep this team up? The job is career suicide.
There was reaction on Facebook too:
