When I ask for a source of opinion on Moyes please don’t use Matty as an example.

I was ambivalent about re-appointing Moyes, but I'll give him credit for steadying the ship and helping the club to look up the table rather than down for most of the season. But as things stand, I feel like he represents the past and we need to move on. Whether TFG share that vision or have bigger ambitions is another matter. Of course there's an element of 'be careful what you wish for' (as Spurs and West Ham can attest), but I don't see the point of signing mainly ageing players and keeping youngsters on the bench if it all achieves is mid-table mediocrity and early cup exits.

What agent in their right mind would encourage any young talent to sign for a team who won't play or develop them? The statement about it 'not doing any harm' for Rohl to sit on the bench was one of the most assinine things I've heard from a Premiership manager. So: thanks for everything DM, but if you're not going to change your ways, please can you make way for someone who wants to take this club forwards rather than sideways?

He's taken us to exactly where we were in under Dyche in his first full season: joint 11th (or joint 12th if you prefer).

I don’t think anyone believes he’s our long term answer but it’s been 18 months, relax people. Football doesn’t end in a year’s time.

It doesn’t but if you are going to bin him in a year is he the best person to have final say and huge input on £100m+ of new signings

I mean you could say no? But then I don’t really understand our transfer “committee” anyway. If we get a new manager in this Summer do they get a really heavy say on signings? Because that’s how we ended up in the squad mess in the first place.

I’m still of the opinion he’ll see out his contract here then move upstairs.

you asked and I I found you one sir, Matty or not, still counts I'm afraid - it has 300+ likes also

Just for clarity that’s upstairs in the club not to heaven.

It’s Matty. I love him but he’s a lunatic.

100m+ isn't a lot, chump change, don't worry

 

[Moomin]

I'm glad he is planning for our future and blooding youngsters for the future.

 

[NathDogg]

Staggered people are still absolving the moyesiah of any control or blame with our transfer policy and the deals we have done, absolutely staggered.

Bit of a boring gotcha considering Glasner has won more trophies in four years than Moyes has in his entire career.

I don't mean it as a gotcha. I don't believe Glasner would be a particularly good choice - people mention him like he's some kind of trophy whisperer, and of course he did win the FA Cup, but it should be noted that his CV in England does also include one of the biggest upsets in the history of the competition.

It's his League form that would worry me, apart from that run at the end of 23/24 where Palace were winning every game it hasn't been too impressive. I personally think both domestic cups are currently very unlikely routes to Europe; qualifying through the league is the most likely pathway to the Europa/Conference, which in my mind is the way to trophies/regularly challenging in domestic competitions for Everton. Average league form and the manager throwing his toys out the pram won't ever help that.

Just heard Moyes wasn’t the only manager to have players go the AfCon during the season.

But did impact Harrison Armstrong development by keeping him on the bench ever since.

Matty is a top poster but he has gone from being a shivering wreck to the bloody terminator !!
