As long as he doesn’t come in and start with ‘the people’s club’ stuff

You're not keen then ?
He’s still only 31 too.

I wouldn’t read anything in to the length of the deal. We’re in a very tough situation, a foreign manager is a risk we simply can’t take right now. Moyes was never going to accept a 6 month deal so the only way of getting him in and steadying a rocky ship, is to give him 2 and a half years. That doesn’t mean he’ll be here 2 and a half years. Make no mistake, the TFG wouldn’t think twice about paying him off in the summer and getting someone else in if he doesn’t impress between now and May.
Another point. A 6 month deal doesn’t really help the instability as far as the players go. It leaves everything up in the air and gives the impression that you’ve got someone in that you’re not sure about. Needs must and we can’t be playing Russian roulette with our Premier League status by bringing in a fancy foreigner who hasn’t a clue about any of our squad or English football.
People won’t be happy obviously, but all I’ll say on it is that this seems very sensible.

None of those. It's 2 years and 6 months from what I've been hearing

Got a stadium though... apparently it was the big strategic step we needed to take us to the next level.

See Eggs you're one of the few posters I genuinely respect but you're way off with this.
Last 10yrs Moyes has stank the place out whether at United, abroad, Sunderland or West Ham.
He hit on a robust formula with us that got us in and around "best of the rest" but now "the rest" have their own odd world class players and much more dynamic systems. He can't cope.
10yrs is a long time in football. 10yrs is a long time in life - moyes was last "half decent" before the smart phone was invented.
And nobody please bring up the supposed European trophy he won as a big achievement. Yes we'd love to win it for sure but West Ham were probably favourites (or thereabouts) to win it given its status.
The difference between Moyes and Dyche is fans are moaning about Moyes when finishing in the top half.
Dyche isn't capable of building past the relegation battling stage, Moyes spends 80% of his seasons in the top half of the table and has a long track record of having a good eye for a player.
Dyche doesn't know what it's like to take it beyond where we are now, Moyes knows what a team finishing 6th-10th consistently looks like and needs.

Why he was saying about not wanting to just take on a relegation battle the other week. Getting himself into the bargaining for a long term deal
Longer than I was hoping. I'd have been happy with a 29 month deal but 30 months just sounds too much for me to stomach.
Ideally it would be 6 months, 1 week, 3 days, 15hrs, 27 minutes and 4 seconds kind of deal
He was, he's been out of a job for about 2 years.
A perfect appointment, more Jobs For The Boys(TM) hires needed here. Know the club and all that.
He left them a couple of years ago I think mate.

Moyes coming back makes sense in the short term.
But I would rather we planned longer term because I think a new manager with a good window would bring in more points than Dyche would have.
Moyes is by far a better manager than Dyche and I think it's a bit disrespectful to palm him off as a Neil Warnock character or a bit part manager.
The fact his name is in the ring just explains why The Friedkin Group needed to sort the board and Director of Football situation out before changing manager.

Didn’t we win a few pre season tournaments with him?
