2024/25 David Moyes

[Houghty19]

I get the feeling that there's some on here that think a different manager than Moyes (who i don't know) would have had us on the verge of Europe this season. He's not my favourite choice as manager but if you're in TFGs shoes you need to get someone in that can get us to safety and though i hate to admit it out of all the names bandied about he probably gives us the best chance of doing that. Personally I'll be surprised if he's still the manager in 2027 but if he is I'm pretty sure we'll still be in the prem and hopefully stabilised as a club that can then make a progressive manager change. The stagnation of the last two and a bit decades will not be cleared in six months it will take time.

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

Don't let the boomers hear you say that

Best man for the job in hand I say.

Not who I would want leading us out next season though!

We are just a banter club. Laughing stock.

and it is what it is for now

 

[derek duvall]

Best of luck to him!

 

[DualityNSNO]

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

Tell you in a few months mate.

He's the stopgap option but we've once again given a manager a longer than necessary contract. Hope it works out but the exciting era of TFG ownership has come to a halt very quickly, if we get no transfers in we're basically not doing anything.

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.

Koeman, Silva and Big Sam all got 8th finishes. They were all sacked before given a chance to build.

If, in two and a half years time, we’re a firmly mid-table side with no recent relegation stress, I’ll be happy. If, in those two and a half years, the squad has been transformed from [Poor language removed] to mediocre, I’ll be happy. If, in two and a half years, the beginnings of a plan to actually bring big change to the club in terms of footballing style and approach to recruitment - has taken root… I’ll be happy.

Two and a half years is the blink of an eye in the grand scheme of our resurrection. Right now we’re on the floor. An embarrassing mess with only the promise of what might happen to attract anyone new and keep what little of quality we have.

We’re so bad, so discombobulated, that it will be years and years until the progressive, stable future we all want comes to pass. But for the first time in years and years and years, we can at last plan for that future.

Moyes will, I am sure, be replaced in 2027 - and even his replacement might not be ‘the guy’. But with all this in mind, and an understanding of how far we have fallen (further than many fans want to acknowledge - so they can get angry at today’s news), Moyes is for now the right move.

*You're

Great post, well thought out.

You're is a contraction of you are. Both are acceptable so WTF are you on about?

I think fans of other clubs, apart from a notable exception, are very unlikely to care enough to laugh.

yearh it’s not what we all thought
under TFG but contracts mean sod all

and he will of said he needed players

just us but we’re allowed!

 

[Bluelenny1984]

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.

He wasn’t backed, we never had a pot to piss in. The fact we were there at all was down to his recruitment and management. I agree he had his faults but he’s was the best manager we’ve had here ever since he left and that includes Carlo who lets be honest realised quickly the task he had.

And let’s be realistic with where we are and what we are asking any manager who comes in here now to do, middle of table stability is a big step forward, one which I will welcome for now. I can not sit through another season of this tripe and tensely watch as we battle relegation. Steady the ship, and build from there.

"The only" option?

Just like Dyche was "the only manager" available at the time?

I've heard these things before, hmmmm

I think fans of Leicester, Wolves and Ipswich will be greatly concerned personally.
