David Moyes’ reputation could be permanently tarnished, after the Sunderland manager has once again, been accused of verbally abusing a female reporter.
The Scot caused huge controversy last week, after footage emerged which saw him jokingly threatening a female reporter with a ‘slap’.
Moyes told Vicki Sparks that her questions in a post game interview were, “a wee bit naughty,” and further added, “You still might get a slap, even though you’re a woman. Careful next time you come in.”
The former Everton and Manchester United manager apologised for the incident and claimed it was ‘out of character’. Despite his apology, the incident brought a scathing reaction from many, including FA Chairman Greg Clarke.
However, the spotlight could once again be on the 53-year-old, as ?the Telegraph have reported that a similar incident occurred in December 2012. On this occasion, Moyes was still Everton manager, and the controversial remarks were made towards Jacqui Oatley, a reporter for the BBC.
The incident centred around an alleged head-butt from Marouane Fellaini, which Moyes was questioned about following the match.
However, the then Everton boss was not pleased with Oatley’s questions, nor with her follow-up enquiries, regarding the potential loss of Fellaini to suspension.
Moyes responded, “Bad enough asking me about the first one never mind asking me another one. I’ve not seen the other stuff. It’s down to the FA. I’ve answered your question and you’ve come back with another one.”
At the conclusion of the 2012 exchange, Moyes can be heard to swear at Oatley, although what was said has been bleeped out over the video.
The BBC are expected to look into the matter and could present any evidence they find surrounding the case.?
