Do I really want the new owners to take massive risks trying to be bold and appoint someone other than Moyes when we're 1 point or so off the relegation zone? No.

I'd rather get Moyes in who knows the club, is very experienced, and has a history of getting results and taking bottom half teams and turning them into top10 teams.

That's my stance. I trust Moyes more than most to steady the ship and have us more well drilled and playing at least slightly better football
That's the issue though. We are actually a massively conservative club (small C), probably the most conservative major club in world football. We only look backwards, never forwards. And we only make 'safe' appointments through fear. When you only make safe appointments, you plateau quickly and then go backwards. As we have seen again, and again and again.

This is why other clubs go past us and why it will take us years and years nowadays to catch much smaller clubs, even if we do get things right, because we are too afraid to risk anything, both off the pitch and on it.

We are too risk averse to ever progress. It has infected the club from top to bottom. It even happens with recruitment - nearly always looking for PL experience. It saddens me and embarrasses me. We will always be plucky little Everton.
 

I honestly wouldnt mind him being here until summer and then move upstairs to take over for Thelwell. If there is one thing we can all agree on is that Moyes definitely had an eye for talent.

Then again, I really don't want him back to begin with. It's just so.....meh. It's the option that Blue Bill would have done that has held the club back for the last 30 years.
DoF isn't a chief scout position, it likely requires large scale management skills of organisations at prem level. That being said, given the autonomy Moyes had in his first spell he could possibly make the transition
 
If it’s until the end of the season, I would be OK but not for any longer. I’d be so disappointed in the Friedkins if this is the best they can come up with.

If Moyes gets off to a bad start, it might get messy quickly with a chunk of the fan base not wanting him in the first place.
