David Moyes

Come on Daddy Moist.

If his average position was 8th and Everton would have been inside the top 10 in terms of budget I'd hardly say he overachieved. He did stabalize the club after some rocky times before he took over. He's a solid manager working where there is not big expectations.

This article gives a bit of insight:

“In a remarkable exchange with representatives of The Blue Union, a coalition of supporters' groups alarmed at the lack of investment in Everton, the club chairman admitted that proceeds from recent player sales and Bellefield, the former training ground sold for £9m, had been taken by Barclays to reduce debts of £45m.”

Everton finances stretched to the limit, admits chairman Bill Kenwright

Everton's chairman Bill Kenwright has blamed the club's bank for the lack of transfer activity this summer

But it was a sloppy article that just looked at the most recent year and extrapolated that backwards. Didn’t look at the financial position when he joined the club, transfers in and out, wage bill by year, etc. So it didn’t give an accurate reflection of what had actually gone on

If we had shown some ambition we should have gotten rid of him after 3 or 4 seasons. But Bill was too cautious to take that gamble and we ended up with 11 years of averageness and no trophies won

A Max-Moore, McBride combo would do amazing things for our soccerball roster.

They'd be all over sector 13

Read the Guardian article. It’s quite illuminating

They're effing talking away to each other in this thread.

I would like to see Moyes threads banned from here until after we appoint a new manager tbh. The thought of that never won anything in his life dinosaur ever being in charge of the blues again makes me cringe. And cry too actually.

If Moyes comes in, I'm following Brands out the exit door. Sacked by United, Sacked by Sociedad, Relegated Sunderland, Sacked by West Ham. And this is good enough for Everton?

Its 10 years old . And like moyes now irrelevant

In all fairness to him - he did a remarkable job for us for many years on a literal shoestring. But it was also at a time when his style was right.

His style was becoming irrelevant the last season with us - he didn't change it at United nor at any other time and paid the price.

I don't think for one minute if he was coach again that his style would be any different from the beginning of the decade - two banks of 5 with a big lad up front expected to work as a defensive midfielder as well as lead the line.

Plus he burnt his bridges for me when he was giving it the big "I am" once he had the united job - acting like we were something he trod in on the way to his rightful place in Fergies throne

Im surprised he isn't out in the media already saying he is ready to return to his rightful place..entitled bugger

I dunno - the main difference between his last team and the first season of Martinez was having Lukaku. Actually lost less games the previous season.

Didn't he also make comments about how we shouldn't stand in Baines and Fellaini's way and should let them move to a bigger club? The guy more than burnt his bridges. The hatred was there for all to see when we thrashed him under Unsworth.

But Martinez got 7 more points and Lukaku was only 19, and not quite the player he grew to be.

How weird - you hate a football manager? Especially one who was here for years due to one comment?
