2024/25 David Moyes

[davek]

Strange there's no backroom announced yet. That suggests it isn't finalised.

 

[Clarky cat]

I wonder if he has incorporated his new title when referring to himself in the third person, does he even still do it?

“David Moyes OBE doesn’t understand the decision, I couldnee believe it wer offside…”

 

[Mrk]

Let's be honest, if we had appointed Moyes on the couple of occasions he was close to coming back pre-covid the club would be in a much much healthier position right now.

I'd love a young progressive manager, but I think Moyes coming in and giving us some pride, identity and stability back is exactly what will allow us to go and get that manager in a couple of years time.

 

[Street end man]

Just got a "middle finger" for welcoming Moysie back and saying good luck.
Ahhh well, seems the fan base is still divided in internet land

 

[barneygumble]

I’m not sure people are particularly excited by Moyes, it’s a needs must and overall I don’t think anyone should be better than neutral on the appointment….

….but given the squad we have right now and our position in the league if we had appointed a young, progressive, possession based manager all I would be feeling is abject fear.

I think Moyes can keep us tight and improve us in transition. That’s about it really.

I think I'm just getting wound up by people being excited by it (not saying you).

Clearly my memory of Moyes isn't as rosy as everyone else's.

Hopefully he proves me wrong, and can make goodison less toxic. That's the first job, get the fans back on board.

But feels like some fans are remembering his tenure a lot differently because of the mess Moshiri left us in.

Emery couldn't win it last season? And he's the current media darling

He ain't my darling.

 

[Milk]

Consider me underwhelmed

I can see where TFG are coming from and it’s mid season and all but meh

When we appointed him - he was the young progressive manager at the time.

I don't see what the difference is now, he's the same person, just older.

Do younger mangers know something more about the game.........or is it just perception.

 

[BiggyRat]

I certainly won’t miss Bonnie Tyler’s voice in the pressers!

[SLAVEN BILIC]

We haven't won a trophy in 30 years.

And it’s the equivalent of the only European trophy we’ve ever won.

He also had to get them high enough in the table of the hardest league in the world in order to have a shot at that trophy. Why people think that trophy or his accomplishment at winning it is beneath us is mind boggling. We haven’t been near Europe in 8 years!!

 

[Charlie Sweet]

At least with Moysie back i'm hoping we now will not suffer the appalling quality of signing we have seen in the last 8 years.
Look at his record, he has an eye for a gem, whether young or old.
Also he lifted European silverware very recently so his tactics are certainly not that out of date as some suggest.
I always dread revisiting the past but Moyes is far from the worst move we could have made. Can't wait to see his plans evolve. Good luck and COYB.

I think what this appointment does is exactly what TFG wanted some stability and to get some foundations in, and start to build.

One thing we can all agree on is Moyes knows a player when he sees one, he will get Everton playing like a home team again that's for certain

Utterly deluded. Bloody hilarious.
It's now almost 20 years since Moyes peak (Villareal August 2025). He's been downhill ever since.
"Moyes knows a player" my arse. For every one Tim Cahill there's a James Beattie or Per Kroldrup.
Appointing Moyes now is the worst decision in the clubs history.
Yes even appointing the fat waiter had a devilment to it as it annoyed the RS and he had a history of success.
The absolute shame of it now when we're on the verge of a new era with new owners and a new stadium.
At least he'll be gone soon is my only hope but it'll mean we're in a hell of a mess come April.

….i heard they’ve only just found Kevin Nolan in the Wine Lodge.

 

[degsy]

I’m actually looking forward to seeing Cahill playing as our only striker again…

KITAP1 with a 4- 6 formation

 

[roy vernon]

I'm not over the moon with the appointment, but, having said that, Moyes is a lot better than Dyche and will be far less dismissive of how much a fired up Goodison can help the results. The new owners have dealt with the situation in a reasonably efficient manner, not like Moshiri and Billy Liar, spending weeks in limbo, connected with all manner of new manager and being rejected by all but the very worst options .

Anyway,, good luck Moysie, I hope you can get us through this difficult time and bring a bit of stability before handing the reins to a Newman who takes us on the next phase of our transformation,
