Not as long as you've been hanging out of grannies rear ends Rooney.

But been here longer than you.

 

[when i score we riot]

My take:

History of how he left etc. aside, he’s coming into the club at a time where for a change we are on our knees on the pitch more than off it.

Fact of the matter is that we are a mess on the field due to years of mismanagement off it and although we all want instant success, glamour signings/management, trophies and all that, the reality is that in the next six to twelve months that isn’t happening.

Steady the ship, bring in someone who can hit the ground and not need three months to install a “philosophy” and have a connection to the club.

Dyche didn’t care about the club and it’s no surprise stories of his toxicity have come out this week about his leadership here and at Burnley.

In the short term, Moues has Jarrod & O’Brien who are tall promising centre backs, we have some good youth options across the midfield, he will hopefully move the deadwood like Doucoure, Gueye and Tarkowski aside.
Forward options are my concern and we need creativity in the number 10 position and forward movement through passes (exactly what Armstrong did on Thursday night).

I do think 11 years is long enough to not judge on his previous time here and look at this as a fresh start. Onus is on him to deliver but this is a different Everton to where we were back then with no money, knife to a gun fight and sixth was well and truly the eternal glass ceiling.

Dyche left the club a hollow mess lacking in confidence, drummed down through 24 months of gaslighting and internal dismay, dummed down to his his own shortcomings.

Anything would be better than Dyche and if we are realistic in the short term, this is best case scenario which makes sense. Anything more than that is a pipe dream for now

I really don’t think anyone is excited, I don’t think it is possible to be excited. That’s not what this is about though, we are half way through a season and entrenched in a relegation battle because the previous incumbent was absolutely terrible and had us in freefall. So, people unfortunately just have to grit their teeth and bear yet another January-May of looking to pick up more points than the teams directly below us. This appointment was simply about picking the best manager for that task and no more. Hopefully this is the last one of these for a good while, we’ve all had enough of it.

But moyes has been appointed for 2+ years.

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.

Save it for when/if he flops. Give me every bit of stick you like then, i can take it.
To repeat he was not my number 1 choice either but we either get behind him or start cry arsing before he knows which desk is his.
I wish him well anyway and hope next year we are moaning because we are just short of 6th place.

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.

I love that people who saw the 80s team make out like it makes them somehow have a superior football intelligence just because they saw a team win some trophies. Do you have any idea how far football has come one since the 80s?

You dont know how to work a mobile phone properly but know the intricate workings of how a 2024 football teams tactics work.

It was most of you older lot that were dyche in and loved kenwright. Now though getting a manager in who has a history of taking sides into Europe and has won a European cup is somehow rolling over and dying.

….i have absolutely zero problem with him leaving for Man Utd when he had that opportunity. Football management is so fickle, had he stayed he’d probably never get such a chance again. It’s just so unimportant to me.

But moyes has been appointed for 2+ years.

My prediction is we’ll amicably part ways after 18 months at the latest. 12 months if we happen to be in this position again this time next season, which I doubt.

11 years of service and made the club 100s of millions through his direct work - from taking over a relegation threatened club.

No complaints given his service and contribution - was gutted though.

…..I hope he gets a contract extension because it’ll mean we’re doing fine.

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

"Further announcements on David's staff will follow in due course."

Spelling is important if you want to structure sentences.

Give it some thought.

Yea but he did find players.
Cahill pienaar baines Coleman arteta stones fellaini gravesen ……. There are loads more and more at West Ham too.


Look at the managers since and combined I don’t think they can match his list.
