He had us playing great football. More recently, he had West Ham playing great football. We didn't start with Pienaar, Baines etc, just like West Ham didn't start with Paqueta, Bowen and the like.

He isn't a serial winner, no, but if you can find any that fancy keeping Everton up then please give TFG a shout.

In an ideal world, we'd love someone young and upcoming who plays amazing football, and maybe we'll get that one day when the club gets its sh** together, but we a) don't have the players to do that and b) don't have the time to implement it. So Moyes by that logic is a sensible move.

He did mate, but not for a long time, those first few years we had him where rough as anything. Our squad is poorer then West hams and even worse then anything we have ever had.

I am just not into it, I dont like constantly moving between managers which have no long term future at the club. He took us for absolute mugs when he left, plotted behind our backs to leave and then treated us like something off the bottom of his shoe.

Each to their own and all that and I take everyones opinions on board, but for me, hes had his time with us.
 
It's a weird one. Is hiring him an admission that were are a relegation quality level side?
If not why not get someone who can 'kick us on' ?

Hiring Dyche was that admission, so I’ve been told. Keep getting told we should’ve been grateful to him as 17th was the best we could hope for this season, the squad is terrible and we haven’t spent any money. So all those people must be overjoyed at the appointment of Moyes, who has previously thrived in such circumstances and in fact over-delivered comparatively to the former manager who those people backed strongly.
 

Looking just at this season - we have 19 games left to play. 5x wins probably sees us safe, 6x wins probably guarantees it (assuming there are some more draws sprinkled in there).

Can Moyes achieve that? My head says probably yes.
 

You were championing Dyche. I'm surprised you're not keeping your head down.
As someone who was championing Dyche for a year or two before we eventually got him, I'm not arguing with him going. He was the right man at the time, but stopped being the right man.

If it was up to me Moyes would be nowhere in the conversation. I'm just not convinced by his latest West Ham stint that he's up to the task we are (a task a lot bigger than West Ham). We need a long term appointment with an attacking and modern playing style that ultimately sorts all these ongoing fitness issues.
 
I'd prefer someone new tbh, someone with a different vision rather than the usual PL manager merry-go-round.

But, I'm not against Moyes coming.

. What have Everton fans got against him though?
