The next manager appointment (new thread)

[Blue peter]

I appreciate Moyes for some much needed relief from the fear of relegation, and some comparative high points along the way.
Had some absolute corkers on the UEFA aways, Nuremberg, Villa Real etc, as well as some trips to Wembley. Some really great days out and up and around the ‘best of the rest’ for a spell.
Unfortunately thats as good as it ever got, amongst the best of the rest.
As much as I enjoyed some of it, it was never enough, and by the last year of his tenure it was enough of an excuse to pack in my season ticket.
I look back on his time as the major reason our expectations have been lowered to the point where people are desperate for his return….. for more of The Magnificent 7th.
His narrative that plucky Everton can only hope for so much makes my blood boil. He’s robbed us of the expectation of being better than average.
He’s helped brainwash a generation of Evertonians into thinking what he served up was acceptable, aspirational even.
Sure it’s generally been worse since him, but that doesn’t elevate his time for me, it just shows what a downward spiral he set us up for.
All that before is his despicable behaviour when he left, saw out his contract having bent over for Whiskey breath and then tried to take out best players for peanuts accusing the club of holding them back.
Thanks but no thanks for me.

You do realise that ‘The Magnificant 7th’ wasn’t produced and directed by David Moyes? That was the club and the mentality of the club under an owner who provided no financial resource. By rights he shouldn’t have even been in those top 6-8 positions for as long as he was and he certainly didn’t have the means to push on. Yes Moyes was a dour, cautious manager, but the main cause of us not pushing on was Bill Kenwright and his cronies.
