The return of David Moyes

[Eggsyblueskin]

And how many times did Carlo finish above 5th place?

Zero.

Taking results out of context we could argue that any manager we've ever had is poor.

Last successful manager we had was Royle .
Everyone since has been a failure.

Sky Sports reporting that he's meeting with the club today and will sign a contract for a minimum of two years.

Wasn’t given a contract extension either, I’d call that a sacking, personall

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.

I have always said we need an experienced manager. The structure is not here for inexperienced managers yet. Doesnt mean i want Moyes but I am 100% behind him. I would agree this is along the road further than we know. They squeezed Dyche a little i would think and he collapsed from the bit of extra scrutiny.

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

That’s not the point. The point is the same people crying about being linked to Moyes, are the same people who thought Dyche was providing us stability by keeping us up by the skin of our teeth. That’s not stability. What Moyes gave us in his first spell is stability.

As much as I dislike Moyes style of play, he was hardly a failure.

 

[Toffeepot]

He would definitely respect the old lady's final season that's for sure
It was notable that both Baines and Coleman referenced it yesterday. Must've boiled their urine that Dyche dismissed it

What did he win for us .?
He had 11years.
Failure .
( and a Rat )

 

[Harryflashman]

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

hasn’t he applied for a couple of jobs ?

I still think it's a risk with this squad and would've rathered waiting until summer with a clean slate. Now we've possibly got a manager that West Ham fans wouldn't accept on a longer contract than Dyche.

Keeping Dyche was the risk. All of the stats suggest that we were on our way down.

We will see I suppose.

I think by the end even Dyche realised that

 

[Simon Buttle]

He has just gone back to the under 21's, wants to stay there for the moment, got mentioned on the radio this morning.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

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.

Managers wouldn't have come in prior to TFG, knowing current owner wanting off/ownership limbo, and a new owner will likely want their own choice.

Even now, we'll have more choice than we did when we appointed Dyche.
