I think this is very nuanced and covers my point really. I always liked Moyes, and honestly the following 10 years have really only re-enforced my view of how well he did.

But the 62 year old Moyes simple isn't the 40 year old Moyes. I'm not saying he is worse, but he is different. As a manager his strength was that he was a slow builder. I'm not sure he will be given the time to do that, and I think we need someone younger with a more fundamental vision.

Id also say, your first appointment as new owners is very important in setting the tone. Internally, but also to the wider football world. I'm not sure Moshiri ever really recovered from Koeman and Walsh, and certainly not when it was compounded with Allardyce. Any chance of putting in a proper structure was gone.

You don't get lots of opportunities to put the right structure in. And a 61 year old Moyes, who would alienate a section of the fans would be a missed opportunity.
Totally agree with all of that. I think the slow builder bit is really key too, it concerns me that there’s talk of him coming in as a firefighter for 6 months because that’s not what he’s about really. One of his main strengths is recruitment and on a short term deal you’re not making use of that at all. I don’t care that he left it was 12 years ago and he gave excellent service it’s not like he jumped ship at the first opportunity so people need to get over it frankly, it’s just that he’d be a bad fit for what we need right now.
 

you heard “moyes would love to go back to everton”

“and now your hearing from me”

he’s not
Give it a rest. I heard from someone who worked with Moyes when he was at Everton. They are also talking about another role for Moyes at the end of the season. I'm just passing on what I was told, so take it or leave it. Personally I hope it doesn't happen.

It's not lazy cat litter. Based on who's told me I'm 100% sure talks have taken place with Moyes about it. Whether it ends up coming off only time will tell but there's definitely substance to the story.

substance hey…
 
i’m not having that TFG would bin dyche for moyes mate

sorry but no
If this was long term then I'd agree but for 6 months to keep us up it's possible. If Dyche some how manages to pick up a few points over the next few games and we open up more of a gap from the bottom 3 then maybe they'll go a different route. But at the minute there's a decent possibility that we'll be in the bottom 3 by end of year.
