2025/26 David Moyes

[davek]

Doing his best to scupper the best chance of European footy in years.

He will speak about the penalty, as he should as it’s a total disgrace, but wham we’re better than us for large parts of the game, and wanted it more, which we can’t accept.

Still don’t think it’s the right call to be extending Myko and Keane - we need so much better.

I also cannot get over his use of the squad and subs this season - simply horrendous.

It's all so very cosy and mediocre at best: Moyes and players like Keane and Mykolenko.

The owners need to be reading the room now. There's no stomach for this anymore.

I guarantee a 'good' manager has us in a similar position to where we are now.

How would you guarantee it?!

 

[chopper6]

Do any of the Moyes acolytes think that, if he wasn’t at Everton and was available, that any of Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford would go in for him if they had a vacancy? If not, why not? I know the answer, like, but just curious as to why we should settle for him.

To be fair this is a very good point!

That's been my main issue , subs /lack off, countless times we've needed fresh legs/something different. I know we've probs got away wirh it a few times but still annoys me

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Why is he scared to try and win games when we are safe as houses and trying to achieve something for once. What are we achieving playing in this manner

That’s the thing for me. We should be going into the game with no fear, get at them from the off because they have more to lose than us.

Seriously though what do you think the chances are of a new manager in the summer? Unfortunately I think it’s slim but we’ll know how ambitious the ownership are that’s for sure.

 

[chopper6]

The bigger issue is that we have mostly the same players that have been fighting relegation for years. The squad needs another £400-500 million of investment before it can challenge at the top. I’ve seen fans saying that the £100 million we spent last summer was a lot, it’s not nowadays.

I agree to a point.

But to counter that you’ve only got to look at some of the players Brighton, Brentford & Bournemouth have signed for low ish fees to know they are out there.

Not every player has to cost 30/40/50 million to be good.

Those 3 clubs have proven that time & time again.

They were worried about what fans would think with Dyche.

Unfortunately (to me at least), there's no way they get rid of him.

 

[preposterousvelios]

West Ham were so 'kin bad as well. Can't wrap my head around it. Only danger they had was Summerville and we failed to find an answer to that. Was destroying us for the full 90.

Why can't we get Ndiaye on the ball that much.

 

[Evermol]

He’s just so negative and lacking in ambition. I’m afraid that we’ll never win anything while he’s in charge. Time to move on.

 

[tommytowne]

i get your points mate

a 100 odd mill spend isn’t anywhere
near enough and 30 odd of that went on a none goal scoring striker

Add the £40m or so we spunked on a homesick winger and its no wonder we've not progressed.

 

[trueblue84]

Realistic alternative to whom?

To the league position. Give Moyes better players, well finish higher in the table. Give another manager this squad and we finish mid table.

I don't see Moyes as the long term answer but nobody had us finishing top 8 this season. We will likely fall just short of that with moyes but that's the squad not the manager.

As you say mate, a new manager is slim because, and I’ve said it before, our owners for the time being will be happy with the stability Moyes brings.

 

[matty1878]

They all don’t have

Those teams lost their better players every year. There's no reason not to be able to compete with them.

Barry up front

I know you're replying to Dave so that's probably influencing what you've written. But I'll say for myself - if this time next season we're still below Brighton, Brentford, Fulham and Bournemouth then I can confidently say I will not feel that's anywhere near good enough for where we're at as a club.

We've had a few years in the wilderness, but we've come out the other side with new owners and a world class stadium. It's not good enough to be failing to compete with clubs a fraction of our size/budget. Being better than those teams should be the absolute minimum level required.

Loving your definition of 'a few years in the wilderness '.
