Its a load of bull though wasnt it as Kenwright was even letting him go to Carrington to get bedded in before his contract had even ran out with us so he was already working for Utd in a sense

Pretty much this. Everton and David Moyes were a perfect fit for so long but ironically the best thing he ever did for Everton was walk away when he did because we replaced him with an infinitely better manager on so many levels, who has already taken us places Moyes couldn't do in 11. Moyes doesn't deserve to be hated by Evertonians but it's hard to say he deserves much respect given his actions when he left, not just the Fellaini/Baines affairs but the pictures of him being ferried in and out of Carrington whilst still officially Everton manager and being paid 70 grand a week to do so were unforgivable. A proper socialist as he always claimed he was should have donated those wages to local charities in Liverpool

That's very fair. I just find it baffling how you can spend 11 years somewhere and simply not have it touch your heart. He speaks more highly of United now, after they treated him like crap and sacked him after less than a season, than he does about Everton. The comments he makes about Ferguson in the article are embarrassing. Ferguson stitched him up good and proper, everyone in and out of the game knows that, be it the constantly sitting in the stand, inadvertently putting pressure on him, to pushing for his appointment, then not giving his backing when Moyes truly needed it. Yet Moyes is still overly respectful to him.

There has to be some understanding between him and United where he's not allowed to bad-mouth the club while they're paying him severance.
Or he's soft.
I don't hold any kind of hatred toward Moyes in any fashion, his off the field antics in regars to Fellaini and Baines wasn't nice but I can see past that.
We've moved on now, and so should he. He's a cracking manager and any club that has him at the helm should be proud.

It's a long term relationship that he turned sour when he didn't have to (Fellaini / Baines) and therefore he is and will always be a massive bell in my eyes

As suggested above, he was working for Utd pre-July 1. One of the daily tabloids had pictures of him coming out of a hotel after meeting with Taggart and Giggs - whilst being paid by EFC. I said at the time that as soon as he announced he was going, he should've been put on gardening leave (like Notlob did to Allardyce). Instead we had the cringefest of that last game.
Personally I thought he did great within the constraints he had for a few years, but I think, as others have said, it all became about him and his massive ego. We made him one of the highest paid managers in world football, and my only regret is that Taggart didn't retire 3-4 years previously, because by then I wanted him gone. He may have coined the people's club line, but he ceased being one of the people a long time ago. He and his family need never work again (although half of them are making a great living off the game in his name). He has no humility. I'd love to see him take a job at Palace, for instance, to show he can rebuild his reputation etc. but he won't. He'll wait for the next big job, and he'll be a long time waiting.

I like him for the players he signed, without him we would of never known the likes of cahill and baines. He did well and he took us up a level, it just appeared that he had settled and never seemed to want to take us that step further.
I think he deserved his send off and I think he deserves how he is presently being treated, I wonder how he views the baines and fellaini comments now.

written both ways. Like encyclopaedia and encyclopedia. It would have originally used the ligature ae for spelling but that is no longer common usage in todays society, hence the bastardisation of the word to become paleontologist.

Yes. That's true as well. So he wants to have his cake and eat it too. Not only did he get behind the United wheel very quickly, he also did that AND denied Everton any compo by running his contract out to the minute it expired.
And now he's giving interviews saying we're a great little club or whatever.
He's finished at Everton. No legacy whatsoever. You dont **** on the doorstep and then walk away whistling like it never happened.
