  1. It’s ace and infuriating at the same time watching all the media fumble around for reasons why Ancelotti would possibly come to Everton when Dave Moyes is available.

    That aged well.

  9. I still believe Moyes should be Caretaker.

    By Caretaker I mean Janitor of course. Those bogs don’t clean themselves.

    Well the goalposts are exactly the same as when he was at the club as they are now. Evertonians beside yourself, generally expect, not demand, but expect the club considering it’s history to win silverware.

    We don’t need to rewrite history when it comes to David Moyes tenure. Because as you have pointed out, he bought stability, while working under a strict budget. My point is we have had managers before who worked under similar constraints and delivered silverware.

    There is nothing to suggest in his record since leaving the club that he could deliver a trophy, let alone compete. He had ample opportunity to achieve that goal when he went running into the arms of Manchester United.

    Yep, it’s a measure of how far we have fallen, how small time our mentality is that we would go BACK to a manager that plays for draws and has never won a thing of note in 20 years!
    So sad

  87. Chairman of our shareholders association is suitably scathing about Moyes in this from about 25:00

    Says he thinks the only reason he’s in the conversation is journalists trying to make a story out of limited insight. Doesn’t believe even Kenwright wants him. Doesn’t see any place for him in the current structure of the club. Is a failure. Nobody else wants him. Would bring back his old staff. Would be an indictiment of total failure at every level of the club.

    He’s good on how he thinks the process works straight after the Moyes stuff too.

    I may have a different concept of ‘love ‘ than you. My understanding is that you do not slyly deceive the object of your love, nor do you desert that object of your affection no matter what the temptation and you certainly don’t attempt to bully and sneer at your love after you have deserted them for someone else.
    None of that suggests love to me.
    But maybe I am just an old romantic in this cynical modern world.

    Maybe this will jog some memories:

    in the decade before he was appointed Everton manager the Blues had managed one single top half finish, in 1996 under Joe Royle.

    From two skin of the teeth relegation escapes in 1994 and 1998 – and successive finishes of 15th, 17th, 14th, 13th, 16th and 15th – Moyes guided Everton to seventh, 17th, fourth, 11th, sixth, fifth, fifth, eighth, seventh, seventh, sixth and fifth.

    Also a first cup final in 14 years.

    Of Everton’s five youngest players in history, four were blooded on his watch – Wayne Rooney, Jose Baxter, Jack Rodwell and James Vaughan.

    Moyes was also behind the move to bring the first team and youth squads together on one site while in 2009 Everton had five youth academy products in their playing squad. Only Manchester United had more.

    Mate I was pro-Moyes long after everybody else hated him.

    His comments at United didnt bother me regarding Felli and Baines, nor when he said Everton fans are a disgrace, I dont and have never blamed him for leaving for United.

    What he did here, with the resources he had was nothing short of marvelous, he took us from the bottom to near the top, but that was a long time ago and at the end I was kind of glad to see him go, simply cos no matter his strengths, his weaknesses were always going to hold us back.

    Since he left us hes stank at United, stank in Spain, took Sunderland down and had a terrible win rate at West Ham.

    Appointing him would do the same as when we appointed Sam, it highlighted just how much of a nothing club we are, cos managers like Moyes and Sam only join nothing teams.

    Moyes has been without question our best manager since Kendall first time around, but just cos Martinez, Koeman and Silva were crap, it doesnt mean we go back to a manager whos best year in his whole career ended with defeat at Wembley or getting knocked out of the CL at the first proper hurdle.

    Erm no. He threw his hat into the ring last time it was available and Stoke looked elsewhere. After over a year and half without a job, he’s in no position to turn anyone down.

    And it seems you’re determined to get Moyes a job. Well can you tell your hero there’s a few teams in the Zingari league looking for managers…but he’d probably get rejected by them too!

    Yeah I agree with this, none of the fancy names will come, we have to accept where we are, that’s why it will be Moyes, and I do believe we have tried.

    You’re presenting opinion as fact. “Safe, stable manager” “Strong character” I’m not sure the clubs he’s mismanaged after he left would agree with you. Hence why he is unemployed.

    However those details are unimportant when you spin your distortions to suit your narrative.

    Moyes would be an unmitigated disaster for the club. It should set off red flags when the only people pushing for his appointment are ex-reds and hacks with an axe to grind.

  154. Moyes is currently being overlooked for a fella whos managed 1 club game in his whole career, thats how little he is thought of.

    Im not saying he wont be given the job, as I keep saying, we aint attracting anybody we really want in December 2 points off relegation, but lets hope Duncan can keep picking up the results so we dont have to get this clown in.

    I think if Moyes was coming he would have been in for the Chelsea game.

    Or, if we had lost that, he might have held the club to ransom for an extended contract, just like Sam did after the defeat to Saints,

    That Chelsea victory, the manner in which it was achieved and the feel good factor around the ground before, during, afterwards and in the days following the game has taken so much pressure off.

    Three massive games in a row coming up and I am happy enough right now to see what Dunc can do in them.

    As ever…..Big Nev puts is best.

    Seven seasons ago we finished above an RS team that finished 7th. So what? No, we wouldn’t have reached the top four if he’d stayed. We peaked in 2007/08 and 2008/09 with our highest points under Moyes, but we stagnated and started to decline a bit in the seasons after that. I think we, and he, had grown a bit stale and both needed a fresh start. His record since he left us has been dire, however you care to dress it up.

    Also, you should never go back. Howard Kendall Mark 2 and 3 illustrates that. I can’t think of any manager, apart from Mourinho, who had a successful return to a club as manager. If there were any, they were few and far between.

However if we have consecutive uninspiring performances, not losses but Norwich/Sheffield/Villa type performances, I’d turn to Moyes and give it to him for the rest of the year. So keep Moyes waiting in the wings, but don’t hand it to him unless it goes off the rails.

    Then at the end of the year look for a proven and experienced long-term guy who plays counter attacking football.

    So because Moyes was manager when we last beat the RS 9 years ago and finished above them 15 years ago, that makes him the ideal man for the job now? Times have changed, and Moyes, like a lot of his dinosaur contemporaries (Allardyce, Hughes, Pardew, etc.) has failed to adapt. On top of that, off the top of my head, here’s a list of why I think he shouldn’t get the job:

    1) Lost count of the number of times under Moyes when we drew at home to inferior teams because he always set us up not to lose, instead of going all out for the win. So frustrating.

    2) That same fear of losing made him reactive, rather than proactive, when it came to making substitutions to change the course of a game. For example, the 2012 FA Cup semi against the RS. When we were 1-0 up, it was clear that the balance of the game was changing and he needed to make a change, but he waited. They equalised, but because we weren’t losing, he still waited. They score again in the last few minutes and then he makes the change. Too late!

    3) The “Let’s get to 40 points first” mantra that he trotted out every season. He gave people the impression that plucky little Everton were punching above our weight. We’re not Norwich FFS.

    4) The disrespectful comments he came out with when he was rebuffed in his efforts to sign Fellaini and Baines from us on the cheap. He said he knew better than Martinez how it works at Everton and we were holding back their careers. He didn’t have to say anything. The fact he did, and that he was oblivious to how the fans of the club he managed for 11 years would react to that, shows the arrogance of the man.

    5) He’s failed at every club he’s managed since he left us, apart from West Ham, but I’d argue that any half decent manager could have got that West Ham team to safety.

    6) As Sunderland manager, before the start of the season when they got relegated, he said in an interview that his team would be fighting relegation. This was before a ball had been kicked. I remember thinking at the time, that’s really going to instill confidence in his players and will be the kiss of death to their chances of staying up. They would probably have got relegated regardless, but why say it? I’ll tell you why. He wanted to get his excuses in early and give the impression that even a manager of his abilities would struggle with the squad of players he had.

    I could go on….

    Also, not really a reason, but I always found that People’s Club saying very cringey. It’s the sort of thing kopites would come out with.

    The poll has a bias slant as picture displayed at start of the poll has David Moyes in a Man utd tracksuit surrounded by Man utd players…

    If we do polls in the future they must be non bias with no picture slant that would lead voters to be swayed on one particular side…

    David Moyes deserves the respect surely after being our manager for 11 years…

    He could still become our manager for a second time & it’s biased polls like these which is not helping the team or the club at this present time.

    I think if Moyes was coming he would have been in for the Chelsea game.

    Or, if we had lost that, he might have held the club to ransom for an extended contract, just like Sam did after the defeat to Saints,

    That Chelsea victory, the manner in which it was achieved and the feel good factor around the ground before, during, afterwards and in the days following the game has taken so much pressure off.

    Three massive games in a row coming up and I am happy enough right now to see what Dunc can do in them.

    As ever…..Big Nev puts is best.

  203. Moshiri and Kenwright need to think very carefully about bringing Moyes back and if it’s really worth it. I’ve put up with a lot of crap from this club over the years but bringing Moyes back is one insult to many. I just need one really good excuse stop going the match and I swear, I’ll do it and never look back.

    Every year like clockwork around Christmas I always have to start justifying my season ticket for the following year to both the myself and the missus and every year I get past It and renew (more out of habit then anything else at this point!) but if they push me on this, I’m done.

    I can stand us being crap but I refuse part with a penny more if the club is going to disrespect me like that. Its not about Moyes himself, its what he symbolizes, its the clubs way of saying “yeah we know he’s crap and we’re crap but there’s nothing to be done about it and you’re just gonna have to deal with. And you will, because you and and all the other mugs are just going to keep renewing no matter what, aren’t you soft lad?! Sorry about that! Lol!”

  204. What are the odds for the new manager today?

    Who are the top 2-3 mentioned?

    I think way too many on here are overreacting with Moyes. He is not my first choice, but I wouldn’t hate it if he’s brought back.

    Fair enough Groucho, but it is also letting people know how much Everton fans are against him coming back.

  212. Just seen the bbc sport lead page……..”Everton: David Moyes still under consideration” 😡

    The problem with this is if we lose the next two, the shouts about needing a firefighter to save us will resurface.

  213. It ultimately comes down to what better managers can we get on a temporary basis. If none then it’s probably Moysie for us; unless you back Big Dunc.

    I would personally hope that Moyes wouldn’t force us to compensate him if we told him to get lost at the end of the season, given the history.

    But there is the inherent danger of him succeeding too much.

    Yep id completely disagree, there is a real risk there in my opinion, we are approaching half way now and dont have half the points to 40, poor form over five games and a wrong appointment away from that not improving.

  216. I don’t particularly want him back, but there’s a lot of “if we appoint him I’m not going the match again, I’m finished with them”.

    Firstly, yes you will.

    And secondly, get over yourself.

  217. No although I suspect the likes of Phil Kirkbride and Dave Prentice will have their first drafts written by now to hold back the flames.

  218. I definitely don’t want Moyes back but i do almost feel a bit sorry for him as to how against having him back Evertonians are given he did a better job here than every manager since. I know he’s been turbo gash ever since but still…

  219. Most Everton of Everton if we reappoint.

    I hear you on that. But it comes down to money. We’re told that ya man who nobody wanted is staying in China for a $30 mil wedge, is that true? I don’t know. What I will say is this, offer people a decent amount to work on oil rigs or feckin Alaska, you’ll get someone.

    Would I work in China, no. Not a chance, if you offer me an absurd amount of money. I’d consider it. That’s the kicker. Man City were a joke. If you’re playing silly buggers and you really want to compete. You have to spend the money.

    Would we get the best, probably not, however you’re on the ladder. We’re not even close though. The club is playing at being a player. That’s what the muppets in the media are fed. Moshiri wanted a “Hollywood name”. We ended up getting the Southampton manager, Alladyce and the Hull manager. That’s a piss take.

    I hear people say we need a manager that understands what the club wants and is. This guy brings it instantly. Throw in Dunc as his assistant.

    What’s the difference between Moyes and Ferguson?

    Ferguson worked for the club for free for two years to set himself on his way as a coach. Worked his way up to a first team coach and picked up the mantle when asked. Made it clear it was about the club, not him, and that’s why he wasn’t applying for the role permanently

    Moyes went behind the clubs back and lied to all and sundry about it so he could move to United, then treated us like something beneath him afterwards. He’s been crap everywhere he went since.

    It’s tempting to draw parallels from across the park but there’s no need. There’s isn’t one premier team who pretends to have aspirations to compete that would hire David Moyes. That’s just a fact. If we need a firefighter, what is the difference between Allardyce and Moyes?

    Once we get to the stage when the board repeatably make poor decisions, we’re not talking about the supporters, managers or players. The decision making at the club is flawed and their inability to act in the best interests of Everton Football club. As a consequence they must be removed.

    Moyes also wouldn’t be interim, any view of “it’s only for 6 months” is wrong. Even if it was correct, the damage it would do to the relationship between clubs boardroom and fans wouldn’t be worth it.

  256. 80% of a sample size of over 8000 people don’t want Moyes. That says it all. Yougov only use sample sizes of a 1000 don’t they? I’m sure every club has employees who peruse their fans forums, surely they’ll be feeding back that there will be carnage if he’s appointed even in an interim capacity

    He might get us top 10 but does that dictate a new contract?

    We are four games from winning a trophy which is do-able but do we want Moyes in charge of those games?

    Stability-wise it might work but let’s not let him loose on the transfer window. Have a long term option lined up in the summer.

    If it is Moyes, we have to be grown up about this. He’s defo not my cup of tea – to say the least. However, the club’s well being for the rest of the season is paramount, so we may have to put up with it. Obviously the criticism over any such appointment will be well justified.

    Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether the regular posters on here are just taking the piss. We read them everyday and it’s all part of the craic. “Put up and shut up”. If you succumb to that, it’s no longer parody. You’re part of the problem.

    It’s tempting to draw parallels from across the park but there’s no need. There’s isn’t one premier team who pretends to have aspirations to compete that would hire David Moyes. That’s just a fact. If we need a firefighter, what is the difference between Allardyce and Moyes?

    Once we get to the stage when the board repeatably make poor decisions, we’re not talking about the supporters, managers or players. The decision making at the club is flawed and their inability to act in the best interests of Everton Football club. As a consequence they must be removed.

  293. The most concerning thing about all of this is that it’d mean that Moshiri and Kenwright simply aren’t allowing Brands to do his job.

  318. Does seem strange , Ferguson united us and got the atmosphere rocking Goodison again, he also showed an aptitude for tactical choices. Why wouldn’t we leave him in place if we are so useless we can find no other option in the world of football.
    All the appointment of the bog eyed malignant one will do is divide the support and turn Goodison into a fractious ,ill tempered place.
    Given that Gollum relegated Sunderland (and nearly relegated us in his second season , by the way), it seems a foolish move at best.

    That’s 1583 koppites for sure.

    They would just love that, wouldn’t they.

  371. It’s time the board took a long hard look at themselves. They’ve hid behind managerial appointments and allowed them to be publicly humiliated, going as far back as Martinez. When everybody knew their time was up.

    If the best they can come up with this time around is David Moyes, it’s simply gross incompetence. As was the appointment of Allardyce. To hear his ex-players talking him up, tells you all need to know. Jobs for the boys, shandies all round.

    If that doesn’t raise red flags, we have Carragher saying he’s the best we can hope for. The lot across the park are rejoicing. They know we will never compete if he rolls up.

    And this is the crux. When Benitez called us out as a small club, was he wrong? Absolutely, but we were and have been acting like one. The board is to blame for that, not the managers, players or supporters. It’s on their doorstep.

    They may know about business but they know nothing about football. They need to hire someone who isn’t a yes man, somebody who will rock the boat. Fight, get in the faces of officials, the league, journalists and aggressively pursue what this club was intended to do. Win…Win and win again.

    It makes enemies and your hated. Good. The last time we won the league your Reids, Grays, Van de Hauwes. They knew what it took. Winners, it’s a mentality and a way of life. Our boardroom is filled with cowards who hide behind their asinine appointments.

    Firstly I do not believe in the reappointment of a previous manager in principle , especially one who did not leave under positive circumstances ,then after leaving Everton it went rapidly downhill from there !

  375. Putting aside the fact that he ran down his contract and conspired to leave us for Man Utd months before telling Kenwright and the board. He’s just been sacked by four clubs, one of which (Sunderland) he relegated. Would we be considering him had he spent 11 barren years at Villa before being sacked four times?

Not sure which manager exotic, foreign manager people want to throw into a relegation dogfight with a bunch of players with stinking attitudes. Moyes one of the personalities that could control that.

    Would love a Poch or even Emery, however, got to be realistic about who wants this job with the state the club is currently in.

  417. Don’t think he will come anyway, he said he would only come if he got a long term contract and I don’t believe Everton are ready to offer him one.

    the original job as in at the start

    many many many years ago

    he is by nature a % football exponent. Keep it tight. Control as much as possible what the players do on the pitch. Set up to not lose and hope to grab a win. No interest in much else.

    he occasionally hit a a sweet spot with teams when it clicked and he let them loose to play actual football but as soon as we had a chance of doing something he would go back in his shell. The vast majority was defensive dullness.
    [/QUOTE]

    Football is inherently a game or % though the less you concede and the more you score you win. The vairence in that lies in the context in my opinion, take City you can play the Pep way when you can you invest 500 mill in the squad the balce the percentages in your favour. For everyone esle its about devising a nd building toward success. What Moyes did was manipulate the percentages based on resources which were minimal.

    I think the defensive football thing is a myth, id accept we were hard to beat in his early regin biut for many years with players like the Arteta, Pienaar, Baines, Cahill, Yak etc we played some really lovely effective stuff. It was balanced but more importantly it was effective. I say that to illustrate we have had two managers in Martinez and Silva who play open and expansive stuff, both regimes crashed and burned. some of the virtues you mention in your post are actually whats needed about now, the show pony stuff has failed.

    i think the Moyes type cast is quite lazy, without acknowledging the restrictions he was working while here

    Big Sam should have been given the same. We wouldn’t be here now if that happened.

  426. His press conference will be all about him and keeping Everton up with a big smug grin on his face the rat.

  427. After the psychological damage of the united gig Moyes is not the manager he used to be, and even if he was, football itself has moved on. Big risk to keep Silva, but it would be a bigger risk to get Moyes in. Reeks of desperation and backwards negativity! What would there be to look forward to?

    Keep Silva if this is all you’ve got up your sleeve, and spend the money it will cost to replace Moyes, on some better players who have the composure to play at the highest level.

    Is this what we have a director of football for? Do these people have any imagination whatsoever?

    we deserve much better. And much better doesn’t have to mean an A list coach and star players. Just give us a decent appointment and common sense recruitment and steady progress.

    Hes is a manager who built us from nothing – an annual relegation team to Champions League qualifiers and competing in cup finals, with no money. Isnt that what we are looking for exactly in a manager someone to take us to the CL and compete for trophies. This time he has money.

Van Gaal, one of the best coaches in the history of the game, did better but didn’t do a whole lot better than Moyes did. Mourinho and Solskjaer haven’t fared much better either. Everyone knew Moyes had a big re-build job at United. Half the 1st team were in their 30’s when he took over. It’s not like he walked in to ready-made champions. There are far bigger problems at Manchester United that he had to contend with, beyond just the playing staff – and it’s the same problems those subsequent managers have faced and haven’t been able to overcome either.

    Most United legends like Neville, Beckham, Law and even Ferguson were totally against sacking him and believed he deserved more time. He got 10 months in a very difficult job, to try and recycle and rebuild, it was never going to happen overnight.

    He walked into a team of current champions with a winning culture and the funds and cache to target whoever they wanted. So in the wonderful world of football with the backing of one of the most famous clubs in the world, he went out and signed Fellaini, Juan Mata and 2 other blokes who sank without trace. So, if you’re saying he had a rebuilding job on, I agree, but he knew he was starting that job for ages and failed to strengthen.

    He got rid of ALL the backroom staff, replacing them with his own, thus ripping out the culture of the club which is still impacting them today.

    Then he set about trying to make a team of aging thoroughbreds play like a buch of midtable cloggers.

    At Sociedad, he took over a team 2 points off the relegation zone, that had lost 5 of it’s last 7 and had just sold it’s best player (Griezmann) and again, steered them to safety, beating Barcelona in the process.

    Sunderland and United have been crisis clubs for more managers than just Moyes.

    No, but I see your point.

    I’m obviously bitterly disappointed at the quality of our squad when you consider the money spent. However:

    Name for me the terrible Silva/Brands buys.

    No top manager is going to come near us. We need to all understand that right now. Unless the board chucks a sizeable amount of cash at them and gives them a huge budget in January, nobody would be remotely interested.

    You don’t need a top manager you need a good manager! Look at Rodgers at Leicester he’s good but nowhere near the Klopp/Pep quality

  538. Nobody knows what the right answer is.

    only a handfull of clubs in world football are happy with the manager they have….its so hard to get it right.

  539. We all know he’ll be given a short term contract, he’ll keep us up and then he’ll be rewarded with a 4 yr deal. Standard Everton practice, small club mentality from the board

  540. If he comes back just toss us in the small club, small minded category. Plucky little Everton…..

  541. You know, in a horrible twisted way I’ll be glad if its come down to a straight choice between Moyes and Silva a manager. For far to long some of our fans have blindly defended the morons who run us and shouted down those of us who dared to criticise Moshiri, Kenwright and the rest of the stupid squad. Now the power’s that be at Goodison have been completely exposed for the doddering old fools they are. They’re like the wizard of Oz after the curtain has been pulled away and all you can see is a collection of old idiots looking wide eyed and confused as they desperately scramble to fix a situation that’s all of their own making.

  542. I bet the people who want Moyes back are the same people voting for Boris Johnson because he’ll get Brexit done and they don’t like Jeremy Corbyn.

    The charlatans in charge have been masquerading under the name “Everton” for few decades and have finally produced some weird non-entity at odds with the majesty that once surrounded such an illustrious name. A Moyes appointment would be tacit confirmation that Brands is either a fraud or has no currency at the club. Not that he will worry doubtless he lives off a top expense accountant and banks every penny of his wages.

    I have nothing but contempt for this spineless parasitic creature that feeds off the historic, unwavering loyalty of fans and pretends to be “Everton”
