The future was looking bright.

From where I'm sitting our PSR issues were resolving themselves with expiring contracts, debt restructuring, a new stadium, and new owners.

Now we have journeyed back in time 20 years.

This is the rosiest possible view you can take on our current circumstances.

For all those who don’t want Moyes or think 2.5 years is too long then I think a bit of realism about our situation needs to take place.

In the summer we will move to a new stadium, have the majority of our players leaving for various reasons and our DoF (the supposed football expert) is out of contract too.

They can only do so much at any one time and to have a man at the top who has experience of PL, experience of Everton and experience of building squads and scouting based on value for money is a no brainer for me.

Let Moyes build it and in 2.5 years we could have re-laid the foundations of a good team again that Moshiri picked apart piece by piece over his tenure.

Moyes does all of the above while giving us the same grit and edge that was Dyche’s supposed strength

It's precisely because we have such a major rebuilding job that you want a new and visionary manager in charge and why you dont want a veteran looking to tread water for the next few years and get his last big pay day.

Moyes is only right (we HOPE) for the next few months.

Those divvy Texans have compounded their mistake of destabilising the club by handing the reins over to a man who's reaching the exit of management.

Genuinely, how many years do you think this club is away from the upper mid/Euro days though? Your unhappiness with this appointment suggests you think it should be by 2027.

Not quite true. I think we’ll be further behind in our progress with this appointment come 2027, than we would have been with a younger, more dynamic appointment.

If we assume 15th as our “true” position now, I think an average of 2 league positions per year is a realistic hope for rate of progress in which case we should be bothering Europe in about 4 years time.

There’s always outliers such as Villa, Forest, etc, which should give us hope for a more meteoric rise with a fair wind.

Im not sure I would agree the future was looking bright in recent months. In fact I'd say the complete opposite.

A team in freefall under an abysmal manager, with the prospect of a relegation and all the financial implications of playing championship football in a new 53k stadium.

The immediate future is all about staying up. Nothing else is important until we achieve that.

 

[CrustySack]

But, but, but they made a decision quickly!

If it was more than a day or two they would be complaining that our owners couldn't make a decision.

Whatever happens, the basement dwellers will be here making a noise, led by their leader DaveK.

It is all painfully predictable, a wet dream for the admins on here. Click, click, click - PLEASE remove ad blockers etc.

A lot of the basement dwellers as you call them often fail to appreciate context when arguing their point against Moyes's appointment.

They come across as woke lefties, manipulating the facts to suit their narrative. We need stability during what is a pivotal time in our history. Moyes is the safest pair of hands we could have wished for and he will guide us through this transision without fuss. Any other sexy shiny new manager would have been another gamble right now and we are not in a position to gamble.

That's fair but I was starting to be optimistic and pulling the rose tinted glasses out.

This is a wake up call.

 

[Trublue12]

Like it or not, he's our manager. We are currently in a religation fight. We need to get behind the manager and the team. Make Goodison a fortress again. Try and enjoy our little time in the Grand old lady

Moyes Out

 

[Rich1878]

If we get a win on Wednesday, I can see some people's views changing straight away

 

[blue61]

Looking forward to the 'he's got grey hair but we don't care' chants'.

Yes? Isn’t that the point though. If he does well, then we’re happy.

 

[Neiler]

You’l all turn against him eventually!

Visionary manager? You've been on here for weeks saying give Sean Dyche money to build. He's about as visionary as a bat in a cave.
If your pal Sean hadnt been such a disaster we wouldnt have been looking for a manager just after Xmas.
Visionary lol

Nonsense.

With all that instability in other areas, you want experience to guide them. In two years time there can be a foundation to pass onto your visionary
