2024/25 David Moyes

[Drico]

He's done the first part of his job.
Next 2 years are about stabilising things and sorting squad out over a few windows.
It won't be edge of the seat stuff.
But maybe that's ok after a traumatic few years.

Nah, it's not.

Forest had a traumatic time last year and this year they are flirting with CL.

Why waste time? Plan A, please.

end of the day. we’ve got moyes now
he’s got the chance to build

this is a new era now for us

i’m excited

You make that sound like it's a good thing.

Making it a moyes v dyche thing is just daft though. Moyes is a better manager than dyche and always has been but the fact is we got safe quickly off the back of a new manager bounce and the bottom 3 stopping picking up points at the same rate as they had been. After a great start we’ve gone straight back to very similar levels as we’ve seen under the last 3 managers. We’ve won 2 out of 10 home games since Moyes came, 2 of our last 13 games in all competitions, only kept 1 clean sheet in the same timeframe etc. He’s done fine but the reality is things haven’t actually changed that much. If people were giving dyche protests it’s only fair that they ask some questions of Moyes too, as although he’s clearly made us better to watch etc, the difference in results is starting to level out quite quickly.

Moyes did what he was asked: kept us up - and did it quickly. Fair dues.

The job is different now. We need a reboot. If the Friedkins are genuinely ambitious and competent, they would have had a plan that they would not have wanted to activate until the summer had Dyche not jacked it in. He did, so they needed a stopgap - somebody to get us safe. Job done. Time now for the original plan. If they had one...

There’s virtually no demand for a change of manager, who knows what the Friedkins will do but it’s highly unlikely there will be any change. All focus needs to be on improving the squad.

Is it time for a cadre of Moyes-doubters to brand a core group of Moyes supporters 'Moyesettes' yet?

Let the war commence.

Moyesarians has a better ring to it

He’s got till Christmas next season. These owners won’t hesitate, as seen at Roma.

In financial terms and our position in the pecking order we are Brighton these days.

well we aren’t now with TFG

it is and will bring stability

Done his job time for a younger manager with new ideas sweep the decks clean .....

LOL

There isn’t any demand for a change in manager. Maybe the Friedkins will think differently but I’d be massively surprised with Moyes already talking about next season.

The fans should never dictate that though

The fans should never dictate that though

and they don’t

Gravesen was Smith's.

Yep and Moyes signed him again on loan in 2007.
