2024/25 David Moyes

Its like this for me.

Moyes - took us from the bottom, cup finals, semis, made me believe again
Martinez - great first season, then I hated the sight of him, horrid
Big Sam - gravy, did a great job IMO, sacked for being Big Sam
Koeman - huge head, decent first season, his Phil Mitchel impressing near the end was painful to watch
Silva - Oh Marco, sacking you was a mercy, poor fella
Carlo - The Don, 2 points off 4th on 1st January, given a 17 year old CB to push on, ugh
Fat kopite pigman
Lampard - Nice fella, awful manager
Dyche - Did ok, kept us in the league in very trying times, stank the place out for months after that

So now Moyes, again.

In Moyes I trust.

I agree, but theres an interesting point in this. Do you think its a coincidence that everyone after Moyes tends to go down hill, irrespective of club?
Moyes has historically ran his clubs as a dictatorship, hes the single point of failure so when he goes so does all that knowledge and experience, and I dont think its a coincidence that teams subsequently do bad. He was appointed by SAF as he saw comparable traits to himself at United, and just look at the state they are in as they didnt adapt to a more strategic approach earlier. I firmly believe we need to empower our DoF more, and Moyes contributes to that, not Moyes runs rule over everything, which is what he did previously. I want to look at how we will continue to grow, what our strategy will be and our succession planning as thats and area we have failed to address imo
 
Does anyone know who the “Brian” is that Moyes spoke about during his presser? I presumed it’s someone from TFG but no surname was given so can’t be sure.

It could be the fella showing them round Finch Farm in a track or along with Thelwell but I didn’t recognise him to be honest
 

If that is how Moyes runs thing and things fall apart when he leaves because of all that institutional knowledge, then succession planning might be to retain him as DoF down the road.

Pass on what you have learned. Also, Luke, there is another ….. aaaarrghh Skyw….alk..er

I can't be certain here but I think it's Brian Walker, Vice-President of Strategy for TFG.

The same man had a lead role in the approvals process and the transition of ownership. He was their man on the ground in the weeks prior.

I'm actually quite surprised that he wasn't named as a director given the role he played, and still seems to have, in speaking with Moyes. Perhaps TFG really rate him and want to keep him in Houston.

That's a reasonable summary, to be fair. I tend to agree with most of it (including the controversial Samuel bit).

I said as much the other day. He might be well suited to the DoF role. I think we'll soon get fed up with his self-imposed glass ceiling within 18 months, so it might be in everyone's interest if he moved upstairs before we chase him out.
 
Based on that, there’s absolutely no reason not to start Baines tomorrow.

Club clearly desperate to raise positivity with the PR landslide. Good stuff.
His touch is a hundred times better than Beto and he’s been retired a good few years, absolutely no excuse for a professional footballer to not have a good first touch.
