The return of David Moyes

[barneygumble]

Yeah, but Moyes signed Stones when he was just coming through - wasn't he his last signing? And he handled Barley's development well by allowing him to go out and get experience rather than just keeping him on the bench.

I believe Moyes wasn't a very big fan of Barkley initially. Did he make the mistake for the goal? It's been 14 years, memory isn't great.

Did he start Vs QPR on opening day, and he didn't play great then was shipped out to Leeds under Warnock or Sheffield United to "toughen" up.

Don't think Moyes can take too much credit for Barkley. Did bring in someone good youngsters thiugh, he can have that.

Another fantasist, have a look at our last three managerial shortlists, that is people who actually applied and not clickbait fantasy manager links our fans make up or wish for.

Some of our fans need to come back to earth.

Said the same a lot over the last year or so. When we sack Dyche, it would be Moyes/Southgate standard. Even shared our shortlists in the past. We didn't end up with Lampard or Dyche by accident - it was because very few were lining up.

None of that excuses Moyes being here beyond the summer. I don't care how he does over the next 4 months.

But we should be a different proposition all together in the summer.

We need to be looking at better than David Moyes.

Well, Dyche has gone now but West Ham who spent hundreds of millions, with a squad significantly better than ours with players like Bowen, Kudus - earned 4 more points than us last season.

You also look at Moyes record in 19 and 20 games when he tookover a struggling team in West Ham in winter, and it doesn't look good.

Fairplay, but they spent 54m in the first season he was fully in charge, and he got 65 in 38 to get this team 6gh . Similar amount of what Dyche has spent this season.

If I was TFG I'd be throwing the kitchen sink at Davie Weir.

"Hey Dave, we're getting the band back together"

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Agreed but he uses the Bloom algorithm to id players

That is right but you'd imagine he's picked up certain processes and structures along the way he could transfer over to us.


The DOF is more than just transfers.

Well you might be getting your wish Moyes as manager with Bill McKinlay coming in as his assistant, Weir as DOF, one rumour I’ve heard.

This is a blag account mate

But he just… didn’t?

Not in any way at all.

Why can’t we attract better ? We’re moving into a supposedly world class stadium what the club don’t stop going on about every 5 mins , we pay good wages ? Why do we every time have to got for the whoever is out there option

Thought that would change with the new ownership the calibre of candidates carlo onwards has been shocking , would moyes have been in the frame in the summer when dyche left I would have thought not so any succession plan had now been ripped up and we have ended back with moyes

Is this like a pseudo, evil Bobble Hat?

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Either way, he didn’t play for Moyes!

Sylvain Distin wasn't bad either, to be fair!

 

[Delargeinho]

What has David Weir done recently, obviously remember him as a player and he did something at Brighton?

Davie Weir might be a better choice, given how they have built up Brighton behind the scenes.

Because we have no long term plan or strategy and no one to implement one
