At what point will the fan base stop obsessing over the limitations of the manager and focus on actually giving any manager a much better group of players.
I’d love to be having an argument about how an Everton manager is mishandling a blatant top 4 squad, rather than arguing about whether he’s a rubbish manager because he can’t get rubbish players to not be rubbish on a consistent basis.
The issues haven’t gone away just because Moyes is a very good manager who can play to strengths. There’s no pace in the team, we’ve got a pop gun attack, there’s no depth anywhere, and it’s e generally unintelligent group of players who make extremely stupid decisions when in possession. Moyes coming in doesn’t miraculously change all of that.
We need to get to the summer in the league (which we look likely to achieve), then start improving the squad. Just forget about the manager for a season or two for christ sake and focus on the quality of players coming in. We should be demanding a complete reset from the new owners. There’s no excuse now, PS&R head room is there, there’s assets in the playing squad with value, there’s revenue from then stadium and commercial deals, there’s a reduced wage bill with several players coming off contract. It’s time to put the pedal down and back the manager with some statement signings in numerous potions injecting pace and quality into the team.
We should be talking about that for the next two seasons not angling for another managerial change in the summer, it’s the last thing the club needs.
