"The main reason was because I didn't think they could stay up, so what Sam did was amazing," Moyes said at his opening press conference as Sunderland manager.
Rather than cite wanting to honour his contract with Real Sociedad, the club Moyes was managing at the time, the 53-year-old didn't think he was capable of keeping them in the Premier League.
An honest admission from Moyes, but surely a manager of his experience in the top flight should back himself to keep a team in the division with seven months remaining in the season?
Moyes' ambitions for this season are pretty straight forward - remain in the Premier League.
"I would take fourth bottom this season if I felt I had brought players in who would help us move forward and give us a backbone," the former Everton manager said.
"We're even lower on numbers than in May — we need to get some players in to improve. I need competition for places. At the moment, we don't have that."
