2024/25 David Moyes

Interesting to see the difference in opinions here. You younger lot will have blue tinted glasses on for Moyes as he was your first manager. Us older lot who saw the the great 80's sides know better.

Clinging onto a past that is no longer relevant for where we are as a club. Just because you saw us lift trophies in the 80s doesn't mean we have any right to now.

People like you told us that Moyes wasn't good enough at the time yet since he's left every manager has done a worse job than him.

We are just a banter club. Laughing stock.

Reckon if we keep dropping the bar for what success is, we can probably make it out that he's the most successful manager we've had in about 50 years.

what do you want mate at this moment in time?

Where's the lie there? It was the most successful period everton have had in my lifetime

Yeah, same, and compared to being relegated and liquidated it is successful.

Compared to actually winning something it's the definition of mediocrity, on a good day.

Loppy was an absolute dreadful appointment for West Ham which is why he’s already gone . Moyes won 3 games after Christmas last season and left behind the smallest and oldest squad in the premier league. This season has just been a continuation of the rot served up by Moyes last year.
Moyes seemed to get found out after a couple of excellent seasons, playing counter-attack. Ironically the cup win came when our form was spiralling down - nearly relegated that season.
His subs are bizarre, his low block doesn’t seem to work (74 goals conceded last season) and there is absolutely no plan B. All after spending nearly half a billion (west ham are prems 5th biggest net spend over last five years)
Honestly, watching low possession, low block football and still getting beat for so long is why West Ham fans like myself wanted him moved on, not because we weren’t grateful for the cup win or longed for some mythical, media-spouted ‘West Ham way’ .
I just don’t see much difference between him and dyche , in the same way I didn’t see much difference between loppy and Moyes .
Good luck though Moyes

Old squad? Had nothing to do with the owners or DOF just Moyes

Trophy man is back!

For people to not label a middling time as a success - he never got us to kick on and we never won anything with him in charge. He brought stability but had no idea how to progress beyond it.

50:50 but no doubt he held us back too. Question is are Evertonians desperate enough to forgive and forget

Not sure I agree he held us back, I think he took us as far as he could at that time with the constraints we had as a club, let’s be honest he’s not a title chasing manager. When we were in Europe and pushing for the champions league he should have been backed there and then, but the club just didn’t have the money. After that there was nowhere left to go.

I’m not going to claim to be excited by the appointment, but is he pragmatic choice for the here and now?? I think he is. Reality is replacing a manager mid season, and asking someone to come in and stake there reputation on a team that can’t score and is staring down a barrel is a tough ask and a short list of candidates.

Condescending much!

I always like Moyes. I’m glad he is back.

so as of this minute he’s the correct man right?

Hopefully he’ll start with a few wins to justify this appointment but at this exact moment we really are viewed as that unfortunately

 

[davek]

The only positive I can see in this is that there may be some sort of new manager bounce. Not holding my breath though.

He better get that bounce too, because you can see there's not much patience going to be handed to this feller.

We need a Plan B in place if Plan A was Moyes.
