Davy Weir

Thelwell must stay unless there’s a clear upgrade.

You’re not setting a very high bar really are you?

Absolutely not; the sort of lazy decision that almost ruined this club.

Thelwell must stay unless there’s a clear upgrade.

I took heart from the Telegraph report that under the headline had Weir down as only one of a few being considered for the role.

Let's hope that these Texans aren't having any of this return to 'jobs for the Moyes' Everton era decisions.

If it's true, it'll be because Moyes wants to control all transfers, so someone who wont challenge him like Weir will be a patsy for that purpose.

Remember he wanted Weir or Stubbs or Neville to take over at Everton when he left for United so he could come back here and take unproblematically any player he wanted from us.

Thelwell is doing a decent enough job under the circumstances. There's no gain to hiring an unproven DoF like Weir.

That would be a good thing to have a dof who answers to Moyes. The transfers we made under Moyes were better than the transfers we made with any DOF after him
