We are on our 3rd relegation battle in 3 years and people are turning their nose up at a manger that has just won a trophy. In an ideal world we would of left him in our wakes, but we are on our knees as a club. The state the club is in I'd have him back in a shot.

I did like being 7th though.Chelsea Liverpool man utd arsenal spurs 45+ away league games won 0
Really. Didn’t know this.I couldn't see him coming back, especially in this environment. Wasn't he literally about to sign the paperwork when they pulled the chair and gave it to Ancelotti?
.......and you were right on both counts.My problem is I thought Moyes did a great job for us and I also thought that Phil Neville was an excellent captain.
I think Moyes revealed it in an interview, possibily within the last year.Really. Didn’t know this.
“When I was getting offered the West Ham job, I had actually been in Germany with Moshiri to take the Everton job. It was absolutely done, until in the meeting my telephone had run out of battery and I had asked for it to be charged.
“In the meeting, the phone rang and it was David Sullivan, in the middle of the meeting with Everton. I had to say ‘I can’t speak right now’. I was in a meeting to go back to Everton. Carlo Ancelotti got sacked that night and they changed track and took Carlo Ancelotti. Overnight.
“That night I was in Germany and Carlo lost his job. I was due to sign the papers the day before and because of that they took Carlo, and David Sullivan had phoned me to take the West Ham job and I thought, ‘definitely’.”
Open arms from meI think Moyes revealed it in an interview, possibily within the last year.
EDIT: Here's the Moyes quote:
I have to admit the lack of ambition meant I was watching Everton play in Europe.I believe i have good reasons for not wanting him back here.
I mean you have just given one when you said we have been in relegation battles for three years , which is true and the issue with that is this will simply be a repeat of what happened starting from the 90s, anything that isn’t a relegation battle will be something to be content with.
It’s that sort of thinking that has aided the culture that has been going on at the club. We even had a DVD titled “the magnificent 7th” .
I’ll be honest I don’t know who I would like, first snd foremost the club itself needs to change , it really does. We can’t say we are a big club and don’t act like one most of the time. Simply changing managers hasn’t worked, the club is the problem before anyone. Change that first.
I enjoyed the Moyes lack of ambition era !!I have to admit the lack of ambition meant I was watching Everton play in Europe.
Now I am just hoping we don’t go bankrupt and stay up having only won 1 in 15.
But sure he lacked ambition or alternative hypothesis, he didn’t have the resources to properly compete with top 5/6
