2025/26 David Moyes

[Victus]

I'm not his biggest fan because of the pragmatic football he plays but I'm happy to keep him on for the stability of it all, he also deserves another year considering our current position in the table, just wish he'd be a bit more attacking.

 

[Swartzy]

If we are in Europe he almost certainly won't. Not sure what the FA cup issue is. He picked our strongest team available on the day.

It wasn't about a certain cup though was it, It wasn't even about this seasons cups. It was about you not caring about cups, and others wanting a run at a trophy.

Oh i think its clear he's been tasked to get as high up the league as possible.

To do so he's elected to focus on experience, favourites and neglected to develop youngsters or run a meritocracy.

Next season if we do have europe he'll have no choice but to use the full squad simply because we cant sign the players he wants as I dont think TFG would allow it.

Gasparini I believe wanted experience and TFG only allowed u24s I think in the last window.



You missed my joke about dividing by pi?

How do you know it’s not a meritocracy
Do you attend all the training sessions ?
Apart from Rohl having one very good game none of the young players have excelled on the pitch

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

I’m absolutely fine with another season of Moyes if the extension is only for one more year at most. That’s fair enough. I just think there’ll come a point where, as a fanbase, we’ll want to move on

Speak for yourself!

Haven't had much of a chance - need to get a few games.

Armstrong has done well but he was given the chance to get in the side and stay there.

Cheeky hobnob to go with your new contract David?

@JobForTheMoyes

Good point!

“A cheeky wee hobnob to go with my new three-year contract, please!”

Speak for yourself!

I am? Sorry for not wanting him here for eternity how bad of me to think ahead.

 

[Simon Buttle]

If TFG want to go down this route then fine it's their decision at the end of the day, hard to argue given how much the team has exceeded expectations. I must say though I never thought I'd see the day when people started paying attention to a word that kopite Hughes has to say.

 

[BluePaul86]

Good,now back him in the summer.

And don't let him anywhere the list of transfer targets.

 

[RD2910]

And don't let him anywhere the list of transfer targets.

Was no one else at the club involved?

 

[BluePaul86]

He was never leaving this summer but I'm not ecstatic about him getting a new contract. Just makes it tougher and more expensive to get rid once it all goes pear shaped.

 

[BluePaul86]

If Moyes has his way we'll be watching Ben White, Soucek, Ward Prowse and Delap next season.

 

[efcste97]

And don't let him anywhere the list of transfer targets.

If we do, it’ll be the biggest mistake TFG could make. I get that some people still think it’s 2009, but judging by his record in the transfer market since leaving Everton, any Blue, whatever they think of Moyes, should want him kept as far away from transfer decisions as possible.

We lost to a team currently only 3 points behind us in the league. It’s a bit of an odd one. Not like we played a second string and went out to league 2 opposition

People just like moaning. Some posters actually care that our 9th substitute is a second keeper rather than outfield player. It's mind boggling.
