No. Not at all. My issue has always been that I am unimpressed with Moyes' transfer record since he left us, so am nervous about him being given total control. I don't think he has been given total control with the transfer committee and the...

Didn't know @Tofeenut was a Blackburn fan

The problems we've had for 3/4 years don't vanish eh.

I never watch pre season games - Everton test my blood pressure August-May, they're not having my June-July too. Avoiding injuries really is the main thing, but 0 goals from open play Vs Accrington and Blackburn - not that it's needed to tell...

*Waits for @Kevsleftpeg

You went from saying every manager ever will approve signings, before then immediately saying we can't prove Moyes had never had a transfer without his approval. In my view, there's some instances - examples I give - of when a manager has no...

Feel like without proof it's pretty hard to say Moyes has never had a move go over his head.

Quick u-turn from what you've just said;

I'm not saying Moyes spots/scouts every single player. But he'll review every player put under his nose, and not a single one will sign without him approving it. Every single signing for the senior team will have his approval, so he should get...

Weird, you agreed with me while saying you disagree.

My point was towards those making posts of the below nature; ... to illustrate the point, I've shared his record at his previous, long term job at West Ham and shared the view that from the top 20 there, there's 2 I'd want to replicate now at...

Moyes should be credited with every single transfer Everton make. Good and bad. Because none of them happen without his say so.

Yeah I'd be extremely cautious judging transfer records of individuals over a decade ago. I think the single thing that has changed the most in football since then is the player recruitment process.
