The return of David Moyes

[cronullasharks]

& was still our best player that year. Depressing.

And Moyes will be our best manager this season. Shoot me

If Sean Dyche is farmfoods
David Moyes is the Co-op

 

[Brennan]

Like when Rooney came back about 50 years after he left and was 5 years past it.

And was our top scorer in the league?

Not sure that’s the comparison to be making.

I’d definitely give it to Moyes for 18 months, I think that would be best for the club.

I could be wrong mind. I admire the conviction of opinions of certain people on here who are consistently wrong about most things.

All I think of is years of relegation battles, points deductions, headlocks, Moshiri, Kenwright to get a shiny new state of the art 50k stadium, new owners, an entirely new squad of players....

For Davey Moyes to be waving to the crowd on the first match day on the 25/26 season. You can almost cry

Hiring Dyche was that admission, so I’ve been told. Keep getting told we should’ve been grateful to him as 17th was the best we could hope for this season, the squad is terrible and we haven’t spent any money. So all those people must be overjoyed at the appointment of Moyes, who has previously thrived in such circumstances and in fact over-delivered comparatively to the former manager who those people backed strongly.

Mate we were on 15 pts in Feb 23 and stayed up. I get it, you don't like him. But we were relegation fodder.

Be nice if it included Carsley like

Staying with the under 21's, no interest in any club roles atm.

18 hours of Moyes.

I can reluctantly accept that.

Ok? And it’s now nearly 2 years later and we have 17 points in mid January, so how’s he improved us from then exactly?

It's a briefing clear as day. It's being reported as fact by all of the reputable journalists with Everton contacts, these things don't happen by fluke. Obviously that doesn't mean he'll actually end up managing us, they might not sort out the contract situation etc, but there's not a chance in hell that all the reports of them talking to Moyes are just people 'guessing', that's an absolutely massive misunderstanding of how these things work.

Absolutely briefed, as I said on here the other week, they've been talking with Moyes about this a good few weeks ago. He was always their first choice to step in if they felt Dyche wasn't going to get us to safety. That BBC interview was Moyes negotiating in public because they only wanted him temporary. I'll be shocked if he gets less than 18 months in charge. Depressing really but there it is.

 

[jinkyali]

I'd hope they've at least sought out the likes of Terzic, Mancini.

Plenty have told me over the months that the money we pay, we could tempt them - even Allegri!

There's also the likes of Rudy Garcia and Niko Kovac. Sarri, too.

There's 6 out of contract. [Edit] Fonseca is number 7.

No idea on PSR realities or cost to sack Dyche and compensation to bring in another - but I'd hope they'd also consider if they could nab Thomas Frank.

Prior to TFG, I accepted we were in Dyche/Moyes territory. Had hoped we'd moved on since.

I don't understand your last sentence.
Just because TFG have come in doesn't suddenly give us an additional twenty points. Nor does it change the fact we are in a relegation scrap and next season will be going though a huge change process which ultimately may mean stability is required.

Don't pretend that it's only this season that you wanted* rid of him

 

[Fralahna]

When do we reckon it'll be announced?

 

[Jadubsee]

This club is killing me. Moyes brings no optimism, no fresh new dawn. Just a minor upgrade on Dyche, and a return to the old and familiar. Why can't we be more forward-looking? We might as well have let Dyche see out the season if this is the best we can do. (And before anyone asks, no, I don't know who else we could bring in either. It's just depressing.)

Edit: I see I’m not the first to point this out
