When he left in 2013 we finished above them in the league. We were actually in a position of strength after years of building, and a few additions would have seen us top four.

Sadly Martinez squandered this legacy and then Moshiri came and and managed to make the team worse despite spending hundreds of millions in transfer fees.

Seven seasons ago we finished above an RS team that finished 7th. So what? No, we wouldn't have reached the top four if he'd stayed. We peaked in 2007/08 and 2008/09 with our highest points under Moyes, but we stagnated and started to decline a bit in the seasons after that. I think we, and he, had grown a bit stale and both needed a fresh start. His record since he left us has been dire, however you care to dress it up.

Also, you should never go back. Howard Kendall Mark 2 and 3 illustrates that. I can't think of any manager, apart from Mourinho, who had a successful return to a club as manager. If there were any, they were few and far between.

Actually we should have qualified for the CL that season.

We were in the top four in January when he started playing silly buggers over his contract.

We subsequently discovered the reason he was doing this was because he was negotiating with United.

He lost focus and our form suffered.

No way back for Moyes at this club.
 
He was in the running for the vacant Stoke job about a month ago and even they said thanks but no thanks. Doesn't that tell you everything?

People who want him back think we'd be getting the Moyes of 2002 which was a young, hungry fired-up manager. He's a shell of that thesedays. His experience at Man Utd has simply destroyed him yet you get false bravado like saying he saw himself as a 'Champions League level manager' the day he was unveiled as Sunderland boss.

Moyes is absolutely finished as a top level manager. Over 18 months on the dole tell you that. He'll be lucky to get a gig anywhere thesedays, let alone in the Premier League.
 
I'd roll with Big Dunc as long as he keeps our head above water. However if we have consecutive uninspiring performances, not losses but Norwich/Sheffield/Villa type performances, I'd turn to Moyes and give it to him for the rest of the year. So keep Moyes waiting in the wings, but don't hand it to him unless it goes off the rails.

Then at the end of the year look for a proven and experienced long-term guy who plays counter attacking football.

Erm, no. Moyes has knocked back Stoke three or four times now!

Everton need a reality check: Moyes is the best they can get

Everton might think they can attract Carlo Ancelotti or Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager, but David Moyes is the best they can get.

It’s not even about the ambition. It’s about having self respect. I respect Everton too much to have that knobhead back after stringing us along in his last year and his subsequent conduct at United. I would take pretty much anyone over that dour bellend. Obviously you don’t respect Everton or its fans at all.

I think if Moyes was coming he would have been in for the Chelsea game.

Or, if we had lost that, he might have held the club to ransom for an extended contract, just like Sam did after the defeat to Saints,

That Chelsea victory, the manner in which it was achieved and the feel good factor around the ground before, during, afterwards and in the days following the game has taken so much pressure off.

Three massive games in a row coming up and I am happy enough right now to see what Dunc can do in them.


As ever.....Big Nev puts is best.

Dave ain't gonna like that
 
Moyes is currently being overlooked for a fella whos managed 1 club game in his whole career, thats how little he is thought of.

Im not saying he wont be given the job, as I keep saying, we aint attracting anybody we really want in December 2 points off relegation, but lets hope Duncan can keep picking up the results so we dont have to get this clown in.

Not all fans think the same way. Many think it would be good to have a safe, stable manager in charge. At least for a while.

The club has been an unstable mess for years, and someone with a strong character needs to come in and sort it out.
