Macca,

I acknowledge that he performed well overall but, as I have posted ages ago, in terms of PMDS rating I would give him a 3 at most (1-5 possible).

I am a senior manager who has to operate in a situation where others above me decide my budget. I have to make sure that I not only use that budget well, but that the personnel that I am given (unlike Moyes I have NO say in who is appointed to me) perform to a 3/4/or at absolute best 5.

This I do, and in fact have been promoted recently as a result of my management of the resources that I was given.

I am on a fraction of what Moyes was paid, but am dealing with 7 figure budgets.

I also have to deal with under-performance by my staff - my manager is not interested in excuses about....

"this is what I inherited"......"I can't get the people I want..."

I have little sympathy from my own experience for someone like Moyes not delivering some sort of success over an 11 year term.

I would not be given anything like 4 years never mind eleven in which to deliver success.

Brilliant. Bill's missed a trick here, lads. This fella was clearly the man to succeed that charlatan, Moyes. His amazing job and most of all, astounding modesty show he was all the credentials and more to do the job.

Please, tell me more about your job mate and why it's sooo similar to that of a premier league manager.

It's nice to hear about fellow Evertonians reaching the top. Excellent show of swimmy badges.
 
Could it be that instead of that Moyes pushed us forward, it was more Smith held us back.... Ergo Moyes looked better then he actually was....

All the whinging Moyes did over his time at Everton... he had it easy compared to what Smith had to deal with.

Walter Smith get's so much undue criticism from fans, but they forget that he in fact stabilised us after a disastrous season and had to basically rebuild teams year on year as his best players where taken from him time and time again.

He wasn't backed anywhere near to the level Moyes was. He had us playing some good football at times, and some of my best memories as an Everton fan came in the 3-4 years he was here, which in many ways, tells it's own story.

He operated at a profit, kept us safe, signed some great players, some of whom are still amongst my all time favourites, managed us to a win over the ****e, when they where still good by the way, AT Anfield, saw off Peter Johnson, and when he finally took enough of it, he stepped down gracefully, pointing to a successor who would benefit the club, and not his own means, as it appears Moyes wanted to do.

A lot of the momentum Moyes got as being Everton Manager was actually Wayne Rooney Momentum, and i'm still not sure that had Smith not seen us through to the end of that season, and been able to start the next with Rooney chomping at the bit, then we could have had a hugely different story.
 
Interesting post, and some reasonable views, but I don't know were your idea comes from that if you buy two players from one club you get a discount on the individual value! Next thing, Moyes will be bidding low for three players, or eventually a whole team, at a knock down price ( Moyes; ' Hello Brenda...I'll give you £75 million for your first eleven....take it or leave it')

Well everything on here is hypothetical anyway but it's just the nature of bartering, people make these kind of offers in all types of business. Man Utd might only have £35M in their Everton-pillaging budget, based on my vaulations they could only buy Fellaini (£25M) or Baines (£15M). As they still would have money left they could offer the rest for both - and we could take it or leave it. It doesn't meet the original valuation but we still get much more money if we accept. Try it at a car boot sale, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised ;)
 

You know, that fact doesn't stand much scutiny when you consider that only seven teams, including Everton, have been ever presents in the EPL since the turn of the century.

Ergo EFC has every entitlement to regularly finish in front of clubs which have been yo-yoing in and out the big league and having to play catch up.

(Citeh being an obvious exception due to winning the football lottery putting them ahead of us)

The Khalekan alternative universe where not getting relegated, in an era where almost every other club has, is a negative thing.

It is like criticising a Formula 1 driver for finishing 6th in a Ford Focus because most of the other competitors crashed at some point because their cars were too fast.
