2025/26 David Moyes

"I think on average if you sign four I think one probably successful, I think that's somewhat the ratio in where it is. I think actually the players who've been here have done a good job, people like Kiernan and Jack have added to it as well. I think we've needed moments at different times from Merlin, and Tyler, a little bit less. Probably in the main we’ve been OK.”

What the hell is this supposed to mean?
 
@matty1878 coming to see what all the activity is…..

Call his agents bluff. If he thinks he can get a better offer in the summer see ya later lad.
If he performs well next year he gets a new contract. That's where the convo should start and stop.
You'd like to think a proper ownership have contingency plans and a potential shortlist of replacements ready. Also if we're doing things properly the manager/head coach should be independent of any player recruitment.

Recruit to a profile and way of playing not the manager.

You'd have no problems with recruiting a replacement, we're a pretty attractive proposition I think for a young manager on the way up who wants to build their profile.


Do you think that's remotely possible under a manager like Moyes?

It's the reason we ended up with 4 benchwarmers for £75M this season.

TFG have a choice: leave Moyes to it or sack him. It's that simple.
 
These recent interviews for me , solidify the notion that whatever the younger peripheral players accomplished on training or on the pitch , they were never going to be regularly featured on the pitch over his set favorites he'll play over the less featured players regardless of their form because he's just a rigid manager who mistakes selection consistency for quality. How many times can Tarks and Keane make an error that leads to goal yet they face no repercussions. I really hope he's gone in the summer
 
Aligns with the £500m he spent at West Ham.

Take his top 20 players signed there, I'd have had 2. Bowen and Kudus, the latter we nearly had on loan the window before.
Benrahma would have been a good option at Everton for several years. Soucek a fantastic signing. Coufal a much better right back than we've had in 3 decades. Paqueta was also very good for them.

Those 6 players would massively have improved Everton imo.

Obviously he also had a lot of flops at West Ham too. Some expensive ones too.

Yeah I'm 50/50 on getting rid or not. But I agree, without being inside on the actual conversations, the external evidence appears to point to a half way house of two opposite approaches.

I have zero evidence for this but I can imagine Angus being quite easy for a wiley old codger like Moyes to exert his will over him.

He was exactly the same the first time around but had the excuse of not having money to spend
