2024/25 David Moyes

[DonaldJTrump]

Dyche was a complete disgrace.

Moyes can make us dream again. It feels like a giant had awoken after a long slumber.

 

[RomanReigns]

maybe he can have a word with Declan rice and Jarrod Bowen

 

[maccavennie]

Can we all just agree to disagree and agree on that.

And don't worry, your still disagreeing with the agree crowd if you just agree to disagree with the agree crowd and the agree crowd agree to disagree with the disagree crowd.

There's far too much disagreeing going on which is why I'd like us all to agree to disagree and agree that's agreeable to those that want to agree and those that want to disagree

Moyes in!
Moyes Out!

I think he's definitely an improvement. He's better than Dyche, Allardyce and Lampard.

But like you, I'd hoped we were closer to trying to kick on. We knew Dyche was gone in a few months and if fans are honest, if they were told David Moyes would be leading us into Bramley Moore they'd have been disappointed.

If we got to the summer, would people be saying get Moyes? If so, sound. I wouldn't have been.

I feel like I've woken up some alternative universe. Like some Black Mirror episode where everyone is wearing a plazzy Moyes mask behind their laptops and phones posting on GOT.

I've been reading here since GOT was filled with posts calling for him to get the sack. Even at the high points of his attacking footy people were ready to kick on.

We don't have the individuals that made the most of the attack under Moyes. For a start this squad doesn't have a single winger worthy of the name.

It's two totally different situations though, isn't it?

In the Summer you have pre-season, big transfer window, and everyone is starting on 0 points. Hire whoever the Hell you want then, go wild, go for a risk.

Right now, 20 games into the season, 1 point off the drop? Your decision making has to be totally different.

Indeed.

19 games, 1-3 points clear of Ipswich, Leicester or Wolves. Game in hand, too. We've got to match just 2 of them.

Sign some pace and we'll be sound.

We've got to be more proactive with managerial changes - looking for one in a relegation scrap/mid season and then lingering with them isn't ideal.

 

[Toffeepot]

I can't argue with someone who can apparently read the future. I'll have to consult Mystic Meg to see if we were going to get relegated.

None of that means that the ONLY choice we should have considered is David Moyes.

Less of the salt lad ffs
Our form was indicating it, performances were indicating it relative to relegation rivals

Mid season. Did anyone else apply for the job?
Looks similar to how we ended up with Dyche who wasn't even that interested in football at the time because options were few.
Its a bad time to change managers simple as that

Let's not argue anyway. I wanted something else but can see the merits of Moyes all things considered. The more I think about it the better I feel about it

Past caring, BFS and the piss goblin, Piggy Smalls, Dyche, just another in along line of safety first appointments, a club that for 30 odd years has had no vision, no ambition and are happy to be the new Coventry, good luck to Moyes but it doesn't give much hope of a successful future

My relationship with Everton fundamentally changed with the addition of BFS - that was when I knew any self-respect we had was gone. I always thought that despite our lack of success that we as a club were above that kind of person.

Yeh but two of them (Ipswich and Wolves) are looking like they want to really fight for it. We can only match them if we can confidently get a few results.

Would hiring Fonseca have given you more confidence in survival than Moyes?

You have said all along that surival is all that matters this year.

Big Fat Sam or Big Fat Spaniard?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Neither would I
but Dyche couldn't hold it together and allegedly didn't want to in the end
Maybe understandable when he knew he wasn't getting a new contract but that is why we changed mid season without many options and without a preseason

I wanted us to go a different direction but all things considered I'm happy enough with Moyes for now.
Doubt it will be 11 years again

TFG seem to be telling media friendly folk theyre not a soft touch. Lets hope Moyes' contract reflects that.

 

[Encoder]

Allardyce. Benitez was a worse appointment for sure, but my spirit was too broken then to care as much.

 

[jazzy]

If Leicester had appointed Moyes instead of Van Neistelroy I'd have made them favourites to stay up.

This year.

But we've got to kick on from the summer - the manager is vital to that as we look to recruit half a squad.

We should have sacked Dyche after Doucoure's Bournemouth. We couldn't because ownership/PSR.

We should sack Moyes after the end of this season - 90% of us wouldn't have wanted him in the summer/going into Bramley Moore. And for good reason.

I dont really care how he does - as long as we stay up. My opinion on the man has been well formed from 20+ years.

In the two day window they took to give it to Moyes????
