2024/25 David Moyes

[Chegsy]

Moyes will never relegate us.

That's about the only thing I'd concede on him.

And if he can't improve on just surviving relegation before his contract is up then he won't be staying on past his current deal. He will be here next year though and I don't have a problem with that given we are still trying to drag the club out of the gutter.

Vitor pulling up trees at Wolves.

Just saying.

He’ll be out the door by Christmas.

 

[chippy1722]

He needs a forward, all ours are absolutely shocking. All three make Niasse look like Ibrahimovic.

And yet still a few levels above those who wanted to keep the manager we had just sacked

 

[Drico]

I don’t think another managerial sacking will bring the stability we need.

For someone who bemoans short termism, you’re thoughts are displayng that very concept.

Moyes is the very definition of short-termism. Time to begin the new era. He can leave with his head held high.

 

[sd_1992]

He kept us up with a bit to spare and he will take us to Bramley Moore with our top flight status still intact.

I'm going to start judging Moyes properly from next season onwards.

Is Moyes the man to fulfill the new owners ambitions and take us back into the elite again?

Time will tell on on that but that was a typical Moyes and Everton result at a ground we haven't won a league game at in almost thirty one years.

Same mentality that lumbered us with Lampard and Dyche for longer than both should have done.

At some point the club is going to have to try and break the negative manager cycle and actually plan for the future.

If they go into next season with Moyes then fair enough, I don’t think it is as clear cut as Lampard and Dyche were in terms of barely keeping us up when they both should have had us well clear, but equally Moyes hasn’t exceeded expectations despite what some would think and if the club were to say thanks but no thanks in the summer then that would also be fair enough.

 

[Mr Mig]

Absolutey love Moyes. But he is no where near the manager we need to take us forward.

Only till the end of the season...but now we're...

Stuck With Moyes

 

[jceverton]

Moyes is the ultimate comfort blanket for this club. Safe and secure, but bland and predictable.

I thought it was absolutely right to bring him back under the circumstances, and can fully understand why TFG opted for him. They would have been crucified within weeks of taking ownership if they had gambled and it didn't work out.

We do have to see how the summer pans out as they're not getting rid of him this side of it and nor should they. Doing it right now would be a chaotic move.

Like all managers results will dictate and he's dealing with TFG this time round and not Bill Kenwright.

I have to admit though that I've found myself thinking in the last week or so that I don't really want that comfort blanket and after 35 years of nothing, would back the bravery of letting him go with thanks and really ushering in that new era - but it's not happening.

For that reason, I hope the summer goes as well as it can and the team does as well as it can with him there to take the credit for it. At this stage I can't really comprehend them sacking him in October or November and all of us wondering whatever happened to that transfer pot and where it all went. I just can't go through 2016/17 again. I can't.

TBF they don’t have to sack him and we can still be wondering what happened to the transfer pot. They’ve ditched the DOF set up and put Moyes in sole control of transfers. His record when he’s had money isn’t great.

 

[Lanolin]

The squad is rubbish lads. We’re a million miles away from having a side that can expect to go to places like Stamford bridge and win more often than not. He’s done really well to get much better performances out of them and to put a few wins together early on, but we’re back to the sort of form that sees you looking over your shoulder because that’s the level of squad we’ve got. We really need to stop thinking it’s just a manager issue when we’re clearly crap.

 

[welshtoffee]

Absolutey love Moyes. But he is no where near the manager we need to take us forward.

Certainly don't love him, he has done well to get us safe but agreed he is not the man to take us forward.

It’s not mutually exclusive mate. You can still agree with most of that and think that appointing Moyes & giving him complete control of the playing side was the completely wrong thing to do to take the club forward.
