2025/26 David Moyes

Not really any managers that fall into that category because when managers show real initial promise at a mid table club they tend to get snapped up fairly quickly by one of the top sides.

The fact Moyes has so many years in the game and is still managing mid table speaks volumes.

Names that are popping up a lot on here today like Iraola, Glasner, etc might not have a flawless record against the top sides - what they do have though is an intention to actually try to win every game that they play.

Bournemouth this season have probably been turned over a few times but also won against Arsenal and Liverpool. 2 games that we could have, and arguably should have won this season if we had a better attitude about playing those kinds of teams.

Is that intention going to get us any higher in the league though? Whether it's Moyes, Iraola or Glasner, I think the most important thing is that the manager has better players to choose from.
 
Sat on his bench like a clown looking blankly on as another derby went into the loss column.

No pride, no clue. Just a limited manager who gets good press off his mates.

He'll have the likes of Andy Hunter and Andy Gray out telling everyone he has to get a new contract as soon as the dust settles on this latest failure.

This season: 10th and two derby defeats in a rubbish PL and to one of the worst Liverpool teams I've seen in 20 years.

GTF.
 
Dibling has had nothing short of bit parts this season , even if its a start he's hooked before anyone else if the team are struggling.

There is something massively wrong here , the lad played 38 games for Southampton last season scoring 4 goals in all competitions.
Yet we keep hearing the term " Premier league experience" .
Some might say he needs to work harder and show more .
I say he is being managed abysmaly and he's not the only player in that boat.

Its a shocking waste of money , time and most of all talent.
Only because people keep saying it on forums, I doubt the management has said it all that much.

I’m actually still raging that he allowed THIS Liverpool team just to stroll into our new stadium, play like utter tripe, and still score two goals from two absolutely washed up has beens that the rest of the league have been taking the piss out of on a weekly basis. They played their third choice keeper and Moyes couldn’t muster the combined talents of Ndiaye KDH Garner etc. to even have a shot against him.

The scenes at the end of their players swanning around our new stadium are just brushed off by him like it’s absolutely nothing. It absolutely kills the fans and he couldn’t care less. Probably getting a load of WhatsApps from Kenny and Souness telling him how well little old Everton did.
 
The man has the record of losing to them most in the premier League era. His record against them is atrocious
Ir is. But he has managed us by far the longest in the premier league era so that is a comment that is based upon a stat that needs to be a % loss rate on games played and compared to the rest of our managers. Having said that, his caution does my head in and guarantees days like today. If the other team has better players (mostly the rs do) then you need to ensure they do not score or go for the throat. At home we tend to be unsure because Davey is unsure.

I mean we lost in the last minute to a top 5 side. There is some performative rage going on here.

This time 2 years ago your mate was watching us get humped 6-0 by Chelsea btw.

It does if it's the difference between a win and a draw/loss. For me personally I think u could point out multiple occasions this season including today where Moyes has lacked the killer instinct to deliver a result and that adds up over the course of a season. It's what stops him from ever getting beyond the level he's been at his whole career.

Obviously a good squad is always required to truly compete but then the question becomes - if we spend loads of money and get a load of quality players who would you rather have in the drivers seat? We will have missed our chance now with Iraola but I would bet on him ending up at a club where he has access to better players and really achieve meaningful things in his career. Moyes I just don't think will ever be able to get out of his own way.

Oh if it was in the last minute it’s ok then.

Was that before or after we recorded our only derby win in front of fans since 2010?
