2024/25 David Moyes

[GrandOldTeam]

But, but, but they made a decision quickly!

If it was more than a day or two they would be complaining that our owners couldn't make a decision.

Whatever happens, the basement dwellers will be here making a noise, led by their leader DaveK.

It is all painfully predictable, a wet dream for the admins on here. Click, click, click - PLEASE remove ad blockers etc.

I'll just remove you and your VPN instead pal.

The thing is I don't even believe we have bothered with how lazy this decision is.

Lazy or obvious?

I would suggest the latter considering the main objective is for the manager to keep us up and steady the ship while new owners settle in.

50/50, didn’t like look it on recent form but it’s possible.
Besides, didn’t realise it was a binary choice between Dyche and Moyes.
I forgot they’re the only two managers in world football.

I would be happy if any manager got us to 12th given where are and the state we are playing.

Dyche would not have got us 12th. Not a chance. Had lost the players and was starting to call out individuals in his interviews. Deadman walking

Dyche's had duration: https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2023/january/30/dyche-named-new-everton-manager/

I always have an article drafted an had a placeholder for the contract.

They always usually list a duration. Just seems a strange omission which has me wondering if intentional and why that would be.

 

[moyeslovechild]

Is it a bit odd the way the club haven't confirmed his contract duration? Pretty sure clubs usually say how long when confirming new manager.

Tried to check their official story for Lampard and Dyche but couldn't find it. The Lampard one just is a 404 because the club never bother to migrate any stories when they change website...

I would not be totally surprised if there was a break clause in the contract... neither sides would want to publicise it. But perhaps that is fanciful thinking.

Smacks of them having taken over the club but having no real plan yet.

Found this wonky arse resurrection from the Lampard one too which has duration as well: https://everton.rover.io/2rCoVS

They’re probably trying to brush as much of our modern history under the rug as the internet will allow.

why mate?

RELEASE THE INTERVIEW @everton YOU MINGES

They're struggling to come up with new questions for it I heard.

You can't really talk to Moyes about the size of the club, the history of the club, he'll just flick them on the ear like "it's me you doughnut"

we’ve got who we think we’ve needed to mate

we have to just leave it at that for now

 

[matty1878]

We are but nobody knows exactly what extent yet. There's a pile of contracts ending this summer that should resolve a lot of that and the new ownership and debt restructuring will hopefully further help with that.

That's why I've said six months would be fine but going beyond that is when I would have hoped we would be shaping up to take advantage of that opportunity.

like i’ve said contracts mean f all

Likelihood is there's clauses in the contract one or both parties don't want in the public domain.

If he is here btw for 2, 1/2 years in charge of starting the rebuild, the best case scenario is his contract has a move upstairs written into it should he hit certain criteria.
It'd remove the temptation for recruitment to be for the short term - which otherwise the obvious temptation would lean towards for any manager.
