The idea of Moyes worries me massively. I think I would throw in the towel with all this if he took charge again.

My concern with him getting the job is it's weird how Martinez took that shot at him about 10 years of being "mediocre" - almost like he "knows" something and is bitter about it.

I too am worried Moyes could come back,I think I would have to stop going if it
happened people say it won't happen,but this is Everton it's what they do.

Boy, that would need to be a big boozer

Aye but wouldn't it be grand. A sight to behold.

You need to divorce Moyes from the board mate. The reason we haven't competed in the premier league is because of Bill Kenwright and the board no one else. They were not in any way ready for the premier league and when it began we were a walking relegation time bomb likely to go off at any point.

It is my firm belief that had Moyes not been appointed we would have remained that way. We were on our way down in 02/03. All that happened in the following years were our best players getting sold every year and loan players coming in. Selling Arteta just to service a loan was criminal. Had we had a fraud like Martinez in charge we would have gone down and who knows what that would have meant given our precarious financial position. We could have been Portsmouth or Leeds.

Instead the entire house of cards was held together by one person. A manager who went out and found genuine top 6 quality time and time again for bargain basement prices. Not only did he achieve a brilliant feat of keeping us in the league as the board floggedour assets, he had us up competing for Europe and going on cup runs.

Short memories led to fans thinking that it was 1987 everything was boss then suddenly Moyes ruined everything. Absolute rubbish. As an Evertonian I will be forever grateful for David Moyes. Times are different now, the financial picture is incomparable, maybe he's not the manager we need now, but in 2003 he was THE manager we needed and single habdedly put this club back on an even footing. You only have to see how teams who when Moyes started were miles ahead of us Leeds, Villa, Newcastle even with a load of money, their pick of players and managers, have declined horrifically. At the same time some of our fans were moaning about the glass ceiling and only beating City out of the top 4.

I honestly find criticism of the majority of Moyes' time at Everton utterly embarassing. To say he 'systematically dismantled our position in the game' is absolutely erroneous. If you want a real definition of that look no further than our current manager undoing a decade of good work taking us back to the lower half of the premier league, disconnecting the fans from the players, making Goodison a laughing stock, languishing miles behind our neighbours. Just like the dark days of the first decade of premier league football. We could have been stuck with a joker like him in the exact moment that we were probably at the most vulnerable financial position in the entire history of the club. Instead we got a manager who gave us Europe on peanuts when others were spending loads, like coming fifth in a formula one race driving a clapped out mini. Yet it wasn't good enough for some was it.

Thank you David Moyes for saving Everton.

Absolutely irrefutable, all of that. I've been wanting to respond with something similar for ages to the anti-Moyes crowd but couldn't be bothered to type it all out. Thank you for that

P.s Eddie Howe absolutely hums of Owen Coyle, let's not go there please

The idea of De Boer in charge with Stam and Bergkamp as coaching staff is ridiculously exciting to me. Those two know the premier league and I'd like to think De Boer would be someone to give youth a chance.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

think we'll end up with AVB or de boer tbh.

 

[matty1878]

Not for Spurs it wasn't though was it? I know comparing the us to them is problematic but they arguably have the best manager in the league right now. All I'm saying is a big name will not guarantee success in the same way a not so big name will guarantee failure. Anyways I best get back to work. I'm hiding away in a back room here. If i get caught it's curtains

But for Everton to move forward a big name manager who's won trophies mate is what we need. I know your trying to show me an example but this is about us not other clubs and the wrong choice will set us back years.

I'm not sure about Stam but apparently Bergkamp isn't interested in becoming a number 1 so it's possible he'd come too. The 3 of them would be ace although we have to remember they won't actually be playing for us, so at the end of the day it means nothing really.

 

[Hangleton]

In this day and age of player power, what are the chances that Lukaku has been asked who he prefers?

 

[Aqui1a]

I'd be happy with either of those. Or Pellegrini. Pretty much ABM (anyone but Moyes).

 

[eurosrees]

His answer would probably be Antonio Conte.

 

[Hangleton]

His answer would probably be Antonio Conte.

Yeah - although maybe - just maybe - De Bruyne has given a glowing report on Pellegrini.
