Well, at least he'll be able to concentrate on World Cup punditry instead of worrying about signing players.

Well his premiership career started at Goodison and ended at Goodison.

He is absolutely alan shearer levels of enthusiasm as a pundit tho mate, god imagine being the third with him and Lawrenson playing golf, end up throwing yourself from a tall building after
Would he though ?
From what we've heard he is very cautious in the transfer market, often to the point of absurdity. He took zero interest in youth development at Everton (a major part of directing a football club, surely), and a large number of Everton's back room staff seemingly thought he was an utter nob.
He likes to have complete control, something which being a director of football wouldn't give him as pitch matters would be out of his hands.
He's suited to managing a mid table Premier League side.
I think he'd be able to do that role at any job in world football. The man has a tremendous eye for talent and an uncanny ability at organising a scouting network - his problem as a manager is actually using that talent on the pitch; that's where he has absolutely no clue whatsoever.
He's not just a poor manager, he's an outright inept one, but that doesn't mean he has no qualities whatsoever.

so is that about 30m of united transfer budget gone on paying Moyes contract off then?

First side that starts to looks for a new manager after 10 games of next season will have Moyes pretty much top of their list

so that's half the premier league then?
Can't criticise his record in the transfer market at all mate - he's phenomenal, and I'm his biggest critic. His success rate is unmatched. Can call him cautious all we like, but he got sensational results. Indeed, it was his track record in the transfer market which hid all his other major faults that have been ruthlessly exposed at United.
A Director of Football isn't the same job as academy manager or under 18s coach, and it'd be ultimately up to the manager what players are good enough for the first team. As a Director of Football, his job would largely be recruitment, and I can't think of many better in world football than Moyes at that specific job.
You could have a point in terms of his ego, and he'd have to learn to accept what the Director of Football role entails, but if he could accept having solely the responsibility of incomings to a club rather than the utilisation of that talent on the pitch then he could have massive success IMO.

Has any manager ever just 'left' a club? Hows that happening..thats like quitting
RM 14 -1 to be Unts new manager if DM is sacked - all sorts of crap being reported even DM to return to us? I will stop being and Evertonian if BK allows that to happen!

Aye, pretty much. Take your pick from Newcastle, Swansea, Villa and WBA ( if they stay up ). Can't see Leicester or Burnley ( assuming they come up ) panicking, but you never know. He'll not struggle to get another job.
No side in the top eight in the Premier League would touch him with a barge pole. Best he can do now is Newcastle.

"Mutual agreement" is the term likely to be used. His agent is probably agreeing a settlement of his contract for two or three years pay so both sides can save a bit of face.
