2025/26 David Moyes

It’s the way the results turn out. If we played really well in some games and our teams to the sword, then got beaten badly in others when we were rubbish I could accept that more. It’s this absolute gut punch that we always get when wins turn into draws through making late receive defensive substations and the negative clearance in big games that is just so predictable and unnecessary.

I can take being outplayed but half the time Moyes’s Everton give away the points themselves in exactly the same way.
 
I get that people perceive Moyes as a manager that can't get beyond a certain level, but he did finish in the top 6 with us on a number of occasions and he also won a trophy while he was away.

If this was a new manager in his first full season I'd imagine/hope there'd be a few more people of the opinion mid table football is a natural progression of where we are as a club - as frustrating as it has been at times.

At the end of his first game against Villa we were so bad that I'd have been surprised if you'd told me we'd be in the Premier League never mind pushing towards Europe now.

It's still my opinion that we need better players more than we need a better manager.
Problem with that is that Moyes is making the same errors he was making TWENTY years ago. We know what we are getting - and it isn't very good. But now things like his chronic lack of subs, playing people out of position and not giving chance to youth are exacerbated in the modern game.

He's been left behind.
 
Another decade before he wins a trophy with us?
He may have been unlucky in a few games lately but it's 3 points from 15. Europe slipped earlier in the season with some of the disaster class performances and setting up for draws at home.
The RB issue, wasted money, ignored youth, hanging his hat on McNeil and Keane. He's not a young manager learning his trade, he's shifted slightly as soon as the murmurings of discontent began, but as always it's too late. We know next year will be the same, money spent, an older squad (West ham raided), mid table, favourites and nothing to celebrate.
Thank you for the efforts and care but let's part on good terms.

The guy has been a mediocre manager for past 25 years, he's won one trophy in that time and completely bottled the Man Utd job. He's gone backwards this season. There's no reason to stick with him. If the club have got any ambition they should be busting a gut to get Glasner in.
