2025/26 David Moyes

Can't believe anyone actually thinks he will be off at the end of the season
I think it is because there is a tradition that managers dont finish their last season, they either sign a new contract or move on..so those are the two choices we are faced with, and are debating over...has he achieved enough to warrant a new contract and even if he has, do we want him in charge of another transfer window, playing his favourires and playing the style of football weve seen? All very subjective metrics.
 
I get that. And there's definitely something in not everything being a direct hit when transitioning from one setup to another.
I think scouting and recruitment will improve over time. And we'll finish top half next season, maybe get Europa league. Great.
But bedding further in to a Moyes system kinda sends me signals of Moyes doing enough to get constant contract renewals without actually winning anyting till one day he's just like Roy Hodgson at palace. Maybe the Friedkins are ok with this, good revinue and good PL exposure.
I just think the time is right to pass a somewhat stable ship over to the likes of Iraola and give him the chance to build something over 5 or 6 years.
We have an excellent stadium, we have an excellent fan base, and the board level chaos is behind us. We even have the bones of a good team.
It's time to take a chance with a younger more progressive manager.

Yeah I can see the logic. I think Iraola will go on to win trophies with top clubs - I think he’ll have better offers than us though.

Glasner, I’m less convinced by.

Other than that, we’d be taking a completely unnecessary punt, and there is a real chance we’d end up with a West Ham style disaster on our hands.
 
Set one up Dave (fwiw I am in the camp of I would prefer to shake his hand and move on in the summer, if nothing else to move this eye bleedingly boring debate along)

There`s no need to set a new one up, all people have to do is change their vote.

As per usual, he`s stating his lunatic opinions as fact and on behalf of the whole fan base.

There`ll be protests against the owners etc, is just mind numbingly boring now.

He’s going nowhere guys, he’ll be here next season. Don’t matter if you want him or not, the owners won’t sack him.
I think if everything was rosy in tbe gardnen he may have a new deal by now, he still could get one in the summer. The problem is the committee and Moyes aren’t aligned in their thinking, regarding players. Moyes doesn’t like it that Nick cox is the negotiator, Moyes wants ready made players the committee want a bit of both, he’s also wants more KDH’s , which aren’t easy to come by, especially for 25mil.

He may get 2 players who’re ready made for the prem, the issue is he may want more and then there’s an issue, if he wants 4 of these type players grealish, ben white, ake, stones, Bowen, Harry Wilson, Matteta. Then I think he will be disappointed and rightly so imo. We can’t be left with an old squad on long contracts and big wages, let’s have it right Moyes won’t care about us when he leave’s if that’s next summer or in 3yrs.

As kinnear has also said he’s very difficult to buy for, and with a World Cup, we can’t be chasing around for 4/5 players the last 2 weeks of the window. I’d imagine he stays, because surely the committee have the players they want lined up.

You and the rest need to stop using West Ham as an example, be careful what you wish for nonsense.
Let’s also not forget Moyes spent 500mil at West Ham to finish 14th and 9th in his last 2 seasons

Thats his ability right there regardless of money spent or players he has.

Exactly why we shouldnt let him do the same here, bringing 'his' players in then get punted the end of next season.
This is exactly how we got ourselves into a pickle a few years ago.
 
Im glad that Moyes got OBrien on the pitch but who looks at a 6-6 CB and says "yup, there's my starting rb"...
Moyes did actually say earlier in the season that he is having to use a CB at Rb with O'brien, so for him to come out and say that maybe we are looking to deep into that situation.

That's no excuses for us not bringing one in though, or even playing him against shorter pacey players which he's seen he can't cope with..

Just hope the pool of Rb's hasn't now been reduced to having to have a long throw as an asset.
 
But looking at different aspects like giving him the Transfer kitty can change perspective.
looking at just Yes/No probably picks up more reactionary or love/hate responses.


I know in my mind that it's nothing to do with past experiences, it's about now and everything I see on the field, and what I hear off the field.
Just last week threw a massive spanner in the works for me, and that came from his mouth. I didn't think his speaking could suddenly factor in that heavily.
Maybe, if?
