Homepage Article POLL: Do you want Moyes back? Results: 80% No

[toffeeblue9]

To be honest, the more I think about it, the more I worry that this is a reflection of Kenwright's influence beginning to grow again.

This cuts Brands' legs out from under him and you'd wonder why we would allow this if we have any faith in him.

That concerns me more than the idea of Moyes himself

Moyes was one of the main reasons why I gave up my season ticket I just had enough of the knife to gun fight mentality. Since then nothing has happened that has made me want it back. Some will say I'm not a true supporter but having had a season ticket since I was 12 I didn't make the decision lightly.

That's a mad one, did he really say that? So he never believed we could beat Kenny Dalglish's 8th placed Liverpool side that included Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing, Jay Spearing and Martin Kelly?

Yeah I think it was actually in the Sun as well!!!

Let me just leave this with any Moyes supporters as there are a small minority on here.
Why don’t Arsenal go after Moyes?

If it is Moyes, we have to be grown up about this. He's defo not my cup of tea - to say the least. However, the club's well being for the rest of the season is paramount, so we may have to put up with it. Obviously the criticism over any such appointment will be well justified.

The most concerning thing about all of this is that it’d mean that Moshiri and Kenwright simply aren’t allowing Brands to do his job. If I was brought in to make all the footballing decisions for a club and the chairman and owner completely went over my head I’d be off like a shot. They’re playing a very dangerous and quite frankly stupid game if they’re not letting him do what he’s employed to do. No other DoF with an ounce of self respect would come near us afterwards.

Why would you trust Moyes with the wellbeing of the club?

How can we as a fan base get our points across to the club / board / Moyes. Is there any way

First of all: I dont want him here. But he knows the club. He did ok(ish) with West Ham. I can see him getting a fight out of these players and he has experience in this league.

I respect that you don't want him here. But he's been on the outside of the club for six years, so does he really know it? We had fight out of the players on Saturday with Goodison absolutely rocking and you know that once he gets his feet back under the table him and Kenwright will be conniving to keep them there.

Why would we even look at a fella no other club will go near because he knows where the toilets are?

Its the clever play, in a dearth of ropey candidates, obviously Anchelotti would be brilliant, but its pie in the sky sports stuff. This decision is to important to the welfare of the club to take risks with in my opinion.

I do like him more then you though, always have as you know, i actually think he could build something and buy some decent players with money.

based on what exactly? What he did over 8 years ago?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

If they do go for Moyes, personally It'll be the most disappointed I've ever been in the club.

It'll also be with Brands' blessing - which contributes to the level of disappointment.

At least with Allardyce I understood he was the fall guy until Silva could come in.

Largely saving us from relegation to qualifying for the CL in 24 odd months.

I also liked qualifying for Europe regularly on a shoe string, but call me old fashioned.
