The return of David Moyes

[JobForTheMoyes]

I can’t wait for this idea to be consigned to the bin.

What makes you so sure of this? This kind of thinking is why Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson among others had so many goes at PL management. You do NOT need PL experience to be a good PL manager.

Any wannabe PL manager worth their salt will have studied the league for years and will know what to expect. The last regime killed us with multiple player signings and manager appointments with the desired PL experience and look where it got us. Moyes is a gutless appointment.

Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes were decent managers. Not every gaffer can be Kendall or Ferguson, or even a Moyes or Redknapp.

You could be right, and maybe we’ve made loads of offers behind the scenes and been knocked back, but it certainly is being made to look like we’ve just gone straight for the comfort blanket and that’s what has taken the wind out of my sails.

i agree mate. maybe we did want potter? and he didn’t think he could come in now and do what’s needed

 

[lieneverton]

ha ha it’s wavering with the moyes appt

but better then it was keeping the fraud

As always, multiple things can be true. You can be underwhelmed by them looking at Moyes, while also believing it was correct to take action to address a clearly sinking ship.

Seeing as Starmzy is on holiday so often, can we get him in just to tickle yodavek's tummy? Imagine a manager so by the book he wrote the damn thing.

yup

Perhaps. And he may well have looked at us and West Ham and, justifiably, thought it was a no brainer.

Bruce got to an FA Cup final, won a fair few promotions and mixed it in the Premier League. That’s a decent career in management.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Dont you remember when Dyche chased Klopp down the tunnel at Anfield?

I don't remember that.

I remember when Klopp went after Dyche down the tunnel, then shat his skids when Dyche turned around.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Sorry but they’re all CL level coaches why would they come here? Ancelotti got sold a lie, these guys won’t. Also not many in-work managers want to snake off mid season. Think you’re reaching a bit there mate. Allegri ffs

We have new ownership who have restructured the debt to buy us a bit of transfer wiggle room and a new stadium move incoming. Shouldn’t the accompanying managerial appointment have a similar level of ambition?

Even were that calibre of coach to knock us back then why not go for one of the ones doing well in the championship? The lad from Sheff Wed or Carrick would be better shouts than Moyes.

 

[Drico]

mcnulty and his merry band of men

They're getting the band back together. I'm sure "Prenno" is jubilant. They'll likely find a spot for Denise too, at some point.

What if we wanted one of those two and they said nah not leaving my job in January? None of us know what’s going on behind the scenes. Can’t pick and choose what to criticise.

New owners, new stadium, it’s all sounding good but we also have PSR problems and a wank squad.

“Hey come get us out of 17th with Beto up top. You don’t need to wait for a Juventus gig again Max”

dyche got burnley to europe and promoted…. that’s…

 

[Drico]

No - again it pains me but Dave is right, and importantly so is Dyche, he said days ago succession planning is crucial. And this is who they choose? They have abEuropean reach and a global footprint and they choose… David Moyes?

The poverty of ambition appears in marked contrast to their financial wealth.

The appointment of Moyes is an astoundingly conservative, backward-looking move. I hope they frame a picture of Kenwright for the trestle table when they hold the press conference so the "new" manager can pay tribute to the guiding spirit of Everton as he continues to dictate events from beyond the grave.
