The return of David Moyes

Would have preferred a short term deal.

Is it ?
No transfer threads so.
Match threads only become relevant after the game?
Not sure that would work been honest

Well the return of Moyes is so depressing I’m hoping it’s not true so would rather turn a blind eye to the possibility of it!

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

Loads JJ, we won the f kin lot!!!

Behave and grow up.

You're having a laugh aren't you? He mocked us and took the proverbial. The only appointment worse than Moyes would be Steven Gerard and then at least the likes of some would be happy

 

[Somerset Blue]

He left them a couple of years ago I think mate.

Ah right, cheers mate.

 

[T LEAFE]

Why not pair Moyes and Carsley till end of season and then decide on Carsley

The chang cup or something like that.

The trophy was a giant condom.

 

[maccavennie]

Would have preferred a short term deal.

2 weeks would have been ideal. Give him the 2 home games and then sack him regardless of results.

I wonder what this will mean for Thelwell? Moyes known to not tolerate Directors of Football that well and wants to control recruitment. Quite well documented how it was difficult between him and Tim Steidten at West Ham.

Ok mate we'll have to go our separate ways on this one.

Peace be with you.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Errr, no.

You don't have to discuss the next manager, potential signings, the lineup for the next match, etc. but other people can.

Yes that’s absolutely true.

I was going to say ....it would be interesting to see Moyes being able to spend decent money ....but Wham spent big under him and that wasn't fantastic - well it was ok. But thinking about it did they spend the money on players he wanted and that suited his system?

Moyes is very old school and works with a DoF under sufferance. To some extent I don't blame him because he arguably has a far better eye for a player than most DoFs.

So the big question is , are TFG going to let him get on with it , will he have to work Thelwell or someone else and how is that going to work out?

This is pretty much the conflict between the fans of younger and older generations.

People that started following Everton in the bitter 90s think, I'd take that again the Moyes years again instead of being 16th, 15th, 12th, 17th or whatever.

People that witnessed Everton in the 70s and 80s winning multiple titles, think the best of the rest mentality doesn't do credit to one of the biggest clubs in the country.

^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^

It’s like Kenwright has infected half the fan base with his ‘We’ve had good times’ rubbish.

Would have preferred a short term deal.

The contract makes perfect sense if you want a new progressive manager to be handed a club with solid foundation rather than a relegation battle you could hope what Moyes did at West Ham could be done where where a few shrewd signings and next season it's a solid mid table finish and then you're looking for someone to take on that rather than this.

He’s still only 31 too.

That’s only 19 in Yak years
