dyche thinks

Probably.
We had 17 points when Dyche was sacked. Ipswich had 16 and Leicester 14.
Those two now both have only 17 each.
Being marginally better than the worst bottom 3 in prem history shouldn't be celebrated though, nor should it be the target.
I'm not doing either. I'm just saying we'd have been safe as houses and looking to the summer to get a decent manager in the owners had planned.

Being on minus goals per games should be an embarrassment for any club in any league. Very quickly reversed by the new manager coming in.
Atrocious manager is not an over the top description of him.
 
I think everyone wanted a new manager in the summer. But Dyche would have got us safe again this season too, no question about that IMO...with the tat below Everton it was inevitable we'd have survived anyway without Moyes.

This is the thing, its still a bounce season, whether he stayed or went, we're just chalking games of now, there isn't anything tangible being achieved.

The deviation will be a place or two - hopefully that might help with the compo of Dyche and Co. leaving.

A few of the more "nervous" in the fanbase have been balmed.

If anything is to be gained, i guess its Moyes feet under the table early - but there is a bigger structure to be put in pace we are waiting on to - so a vacuum still exists - also begs the question would Moyes have been pick one if Dyche had stayed until the summer..........

Emphatically no.

I'm not that bothered in the short term like. But this will turn sterile really fast.

The problem is for Moyes is that he's great at dampening down expectations and getting safety. But the fans will be on a different page soon. They know we have new owners with ambitions and a state of the art stadium we need a glorious team to play in.

Moyes doesn't fit into that scenario easily beyond a season or maybe two....if that long.

Would disagree mate, im a confirmed fan boy as you know. He'l influence it to the point that we are in the conversation for Europe - would be my predication - - while structurally will leave something substantial behind - i see him here for four/five years to be honest.

I think the difficulty will be allowing to operate in what looks a complicated structure, you can have all he skills in the world by yourself but if there are too many people in the room.....

Overall though hes in a honeymoon period, what we know particularly here is familiarity breeds contempt - Dyche is a case in point - people will turn on Moyes 100%, the longer he is here and also particularly if he spends money.

As I've said many times before, I dont like Moyes and never will. However, if he's here I know we'll be ok, so I'm not violently against him being here.

It's a new stadium and we need to be careful and stay in the division until we make it a proper home advantage again on the pitch. Moyes can achieve that. It's not ideal, but it is what it is...as they say.

Nice to see you continuing to support all Everton managers as usual.

Our aim isn’t to “stay in the division” next season. Moyes won’t let it be either, regardless of whatever soundbites he gives about 40 points to the media. He’s not and never has been a manager that aims for 17th.

Jep, I wanted to get Dyche over the line under the condition he delivers an acceptable output of results, which wasn't the case this season. An extension of the contract was out of question for me.

We would have survived since the bottom 3 got increasingly worse and to survive with 26 points would be possible again this season. But I think it would have been a battle with Wolves for 16th and 17th.

I guess, if you are setting a 3/5 year objective - what is it?

Is it to win the league? - no

Is it recovery? - yes.

Is it to compete for European Football in the medium term? - yes.

Hes the man for that really isnt he.

By the time he goes i think wel be competing for Europe, will have recovered the club, managed the transitions you mention and he will have left behind something more substantial then he found. By that stage we should have a proper structure in place as well in footballing operations - that can support a managerial change.

Jobs a good un.
 

I see you’ve just added a win out of thin air there again to try and make him look better. He won 5 and gained 21 points.

How many seasons out of 11 did Moyes get under 50 points, out of curiosity? I see it’s different rules for him though.
Yes I wondered about that but 21points was still very good from the position he started from. You are still comparing him to Moyes I’m not I’m just waiting to see how he does in the future. What else have I added out of thin air—- you seem to be the one getting upset, again, over my responses to Dyche articles!

I’m mentioning Moyes because you seem to be displaying double standards, saying you were grateful for Dyche getting us 48 points and then in the very next sentence saying Moyes is no genius and writing off his achievements despite regularly getting over 48 points.

They should be compared because they’ve both been our manager this season, it’s not like I’m comparing either of them to Ancelotti or Koeman, which would be pointless.

I also said I was happy with the points Moyes had got so far I was responding to another poster who had told me Moyes was no genius. If you want to compare when Dyche got 48 points and when Moyes got them regularly then you’d have to compare the entirely different squads they got them with. I’m waiting to see how Moyes carries on with the rest of this season.

You mean the fact Moyes built a better squad with also no money?
