I know and you're right but we have to fight against it. Otherwise we will become Huddersfield, Burnley et el. Now more than ever we have to keep their feet to the coals and demand the club lives up to it's illustrious history.

I accepted the reality a long time ago.

For me Moyes was always the "stand out" for the job.

Just like last time when we got Sam.

We need somebody with experience of the league, I know Moyes has been utter dung since he left us, but I still think hes got enough left to take us clear.

Get to May, secure our Premier League place, LOL, a sentence I wasnt expecting to write again for a while, but here we are, 18th, deep, deep in the crapper. So we get to May then we can defo entice somebody a bit sexier with a clean sheet and a proper transfer window.

I know most people will scream about ambition, appointing Moyes isnt about ambition, its about survival. There are a few managers out of work and im sure most have been approached, but they are waiting for something better, something that isnt a rescue job. They want clubs in Europe, clubs at the top end of their leagues, thats not us. Then theres the fellas in work, as I keep saying, nobody is leaving a decent job to bail us out the crap, not when they can continue the good work they are doing at their present club and yano, if we are still a Premier League club, they know we will still want them in May.

Bill will be over the moon, but im almost certain everybody else will be a little embarrassed about this, but it is what it is, the season is about survival and giving everything in the cups and see what happens. It would be peak Everton to get relegated and end our trophy drought in the same season.

But yeah, we also need to change "peak Everton", it used to mean winning Titles, it used to mean NSNO, now it just means being crap.

We go again in May.

Starting to become rinse and repeat this now isn't it? Tbh unless the next manager, come summer, is someone who gaurentees success, then if Moyes does well this season we should just stick til the next summer after that and try again. Another Silva appointment could be our undoing if it isn't this time. Hate the idea of Moyes but if he's coming and does well then we should take him for another season if a successful manager isn't available or interested.
 
I think they look at his more recent jobs and base it on that mate. Our squad isn't great btw and has a midfield injury crisis, as well as lacking a CF who can score and a good CB who can partner Mina. So basically we've no spine, a team of cowards and are 18th with a torrid run of fixtures and our solution is someone who struggled at United and Sunderland and while achieving what he was brought in to do at West Ham he done it with only a 29% win rate. I think its madder that people aren't considering that relegation is a reality

Moyes had >50% win rate at Man Utd which is similar to van Gaal and Mourino. He did decent job at West Ham, he carry a team with injury crisis too, poorer squad, and in the relegation zone, but finally he take the team to 13th rank, brilliant performance.

If he replicates his West Ham performance and points per game we'll be safe with 40+ pts. That's if tho.

Yeah the clown aint getting longer than May, no matter what he does!!!!!!!!

I mean I say that, but theres lots of things he could do that would change that stance, winning a cup/cups, getting in the top 4!!

Winning vastly more than he loses! Im easily pleased like.

But no, I get the rinse and repeat, now I know how this will go, considering that Brands is about to appoint Moyes, but I would be very interested to see what manager Brands could get in May.

So for me, whilst I can accept him here for 6months, I want him out the door 5minutes after Coleman has lifted the cup in May.

I know you know your football, and I've been reading your posts even before I joined. I respect your contributions to this site. On this though, I can't agree. There's a battle for Everton's soul going on right now and honestly it's been going on for a well over a decade.

If we accept Moyes as an appointment, and the gut wrenching Allardyce hiring as well. To me. We're throwing in the towel. We are past tense.

There is no coming back, next season will be just like the rest. Which will suit the media commentators and hack journalists down to the ground because it suits their narrative. And then it will just become self-fulfilling prophecy.

We need vision. An appointment that will galvanize the club not add to it's detriment. As appealing as Moyes may be to some, it will be a retrograde step and ultimately lead to failure at this stage of the season.

Im honestly at a loss to think of other names mate.

I know we will have approached loads of people, but sadly nobody wants the job.

Nobody will agree with that statement, im very aware of that.
 
Imagine this, Moyes walks in with his record. How as a player are you going to view him. We're told the players have been fighting for Silva's job. Will they do the same for Moyes? Sorry but I can't see it. They just don't have it in them.

Everton need a manager who will command instant respect. We have a nucleus of a good team here and the club need to find the manager to get a tune out of them. Moyes is not that man. If he had a full pre-season and hiring oversight, yes we could look forward to a season of energy, sweat and perspiration.

With this current crop of players, they'll watch him fall on his blade while they engineer a move away.

Too be realistic, no one is willing to come now.

I would have hoped that Brands was given that remit and the power to implement it, so we wouldn't have to rack our minds, for what it's worth. However it looks like he has been criminally wasted and undermined For the life of me I'm completely non-plussed as to why he would sanction a Moyes appointment.

And you know how? In your mind maybe. Are you telling me that in the world of football, Moyes is our only realistic choice. I don't believe that. It's nonsense. One thing I've learned in life is you never, ever go back.

I will think thrice if I walk into finch farm everyday and find myself facing Moyes, Duncan, Cahill. You can find a better trio of discipline masters than these.

I personally think its his decision.

I said a few weeks ago that Brands would never appoint Moyes.

But that was then and this is sadly now, needs must.

It was the same when we got Sam, we approached him, we thought we could do better, but as I keep saying, not many managers jump ship to join teams in our position.
