Its hardly his fault if the budget they have is smaller than others is it to do those things.

You have pigeon holed the guy which is absolutely your right but it's very narrow minded.
I haven't. He really is a poor manager. In a way I feel like him and Everton deserve each other. We have a board that know nothing about modern football and a fanbase that are so conditioned to mediocrity and old-fashioned thinking that they are desperate for an appointment like this.

"Hey he plays dour, defensive first football and is ginger - OMG David Moyes. They were good times weren't they?"

"He loves the lads going for a pint and dressing room banter - hey, that's what it was like in the 80s! Weren't the 80s good, we were the best in the country then?"

"There are rumours he's had some of rhe Burnley lads by the throat - good that's what they need. That's what it used to be like."

"He doesn't really like foreign players - good, those foreign players don't get it. Give me good British lads any day. PL proven is the only way to go. Michael Keane is actually a very good defender in a low block . . ."

"He plays 4-4-2. Good so did we when we were one of the best in Europe. Wasn't football better then?"

"Likes to play with target men. Good Bob Latchford, Andy Gray, Duncan Ferguson. Blah blah blah."

We our in this mess precisely because we have been left behind by all of football's innovations. This retrograde appointment compounds that point. It does not nudge the needle nine the right direction.

Get some kip.
You are literally making things up and appear to be talking to yourself
 
It is difficult to disagree with anything you are saying but has it not got to the stage where any manager will struggle to keep Everton up? Who is out there that would give you the best chance of staying up. If you are prepared to go down and rebuild I would go for someone like Carlos Corboran. I don't think any high profile manager will take the job in the current situation. I think someone like Amorin would be a perfect manager to get but u need to have funds for transfers and have PL status guaranteed for someone like him. I think Dyche could keep u up and then look to get a manager in that would excite the fans
That's the kind of person we should be going for. Someone to build a philosophy around and someone we can stick with if we go down, knowing that we are thinking longer term. We are basically down because of the poor decisions of the past. But this is another poor decision which will compound it.

Dyche's defensive 'football' is a disaster on 2 fronts. 1) We need at least 7 wins from the remaining 18 games. We've also played most of the weaker teams at Goodison already, which means saftey first football is no use.

2) These days it is mostly the most attacking teams that get promoted out of the Championship. The old-school crap football types really struggle as ignis so competitive. So Dyche would be a disaster there too.
