Expectero Potteramus!
 
WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM!

Nah

He is lucky to have had 50yrs or however many at this club

If we had appointed a completely new manager with a view to stabilising and building us up, or even just the stabilizing part, I could understand people getting annoyed at the criticism and anger at him when we are only in Sep of their first full season. Even if I was annoyed at say the same league cup exit, I’d be 100% banging home the message of patience and changing the recent history of sackings

However as soon as they went back to Moyes and kept him on we accepted a massive bias against him in the fanbase and all the lack of patience for his flaws that it entails. It’s like a lighter version of the three unmentionable appointments of the last few seasons.

It’s not worth going over again and trying to convince any fan to wait and see with Moyes. He is gonna get a lot of stick when we hit a bad patch, and the manner of the cup exit has just stupidly ensured the stick will be worse than it otherwise would have been. It was like a big sign saying MOYES HASN’T CHANGED, DONT EXPECT MUCH

Still think he will ride it out tho and leave us in a better place, just don’t know how much fun it will be
 

The three seasons prior to Moyes Everton finished 15th / 17th & 16th and won nothing…

Alternatively:

In the 2021–22 season, Moyes guided West Ham to a top-seven finish and a Europa League semi-final, where they lost 3–1 on aggregate to Eintracht Frankfurt. It was the first time in club history that the club finished in the top seven in back-to-back seasons.

In the 2022–23 season, Moyes led the club to victory in the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina to finish undefeated in the tournamentplay, winning 12 games and drawing one. West Ham finished the Premier League season in 14th place

WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM!

I guess we all get frustrated at times like vs Wolves, there are these Moyes' moments, where he shows he's a good manager but not world class overall.

But on the other hand, we had Dyche before and could have ended with a slightly less terrible manager in Potter.

You make some very good points… I actually think Moyes 2.0 is more adventurous than he was in the first stint. He’s not Pep, but he loves the club and he will stabilise us. Maybe some European footy (eventually)… I know this sounds like a low bar, but it’s the best we’ve had for around a decade
 
Same carpark as now. We didn't change from a Catholic school carpark in Kirkdale. It's too far from BMD for me so I get dropped off nearer the ground. Not ideal, but as Tony Soprano used to say, " what can you do?"
