Why's Moyes getting stick here? He's just being honest, do you want him to lie and say it's going great?
I don't agree he looks to drag the club the down,but he definitely needs to cut the negative crap out because he's just feeding into the narrative.
Less is more sometimes, everyone knows we need players through the door but he doesn't need to be highlighting reasons why.
Just keep these pressers simple.

Of course he's right to do that.
However, it's always been the case that he never misses an opportunity to talk the club's chances of progress down. Always has and always will. That's not a coincidence, it's self preservation - because he never likes expectation heaped on him.
As I said above: we have the worst combo of manager/transfer team/owners imaginable for where we are right now.
There can't be any real expectations right now with a squad of around 14 or 15 outfield senior players. That squad will be in relegation trouble.

Yeah, he could have mentioned it as a period of turbulence caused by owners/sanctions AND ending with the fact that the financial difficulties are now over, that we have a new stadium, ambitious owners and we intend to restore Everton to it's competitive best, or some such. Not a great salesman for the 'project' imo.

Looks like he's intent on a showdown with the management team imposed above his head and he's determined to put the pressure on them by going public.
That's basically Moyes v CEO + owners.
And that's instability.

Is he not part of the recruitment process? Get the impression theres conflict in the kind of players they want to bring in.
(Largely supposition mind you)

He'd at least attract players in here unlike the past it dullard Moyes.
Iraola should be our next manager though.
What a load of garbage

Agreed. We're in trouble and he's right to speak out.
But that doesn't destroy the overarching point that he's always expectation managed Everton. It's his default setting with us. He wont get away with that for long now though. It's just not possible in this era of the club.

Oh behave Dave. He literally dragged the club upwards when he was appointed and with a bunch of misfits. He is clearly having a pop at the running of the club and recruitment as in they need do a lot better if the club is to move forward and he is absolutely spot on. It is unbelievably poor that we are struggling to field a squad with 19 days to go till the start of the season. Even if we signed 5 more players in 19 days (which we wont) there isn't enough time to get them bedded in and fit to start the season. It is like we have learnt nothing at all after being in the gutter for past 5 years.

Yep.
He's a poor fit for the club in that sense.
Hels a steady eddie and he'll get us safe, but I just dont think he's what we need now.
The owners should have let him go at the end of the season and gone all out for Iraola IMO. That feller will end up managing a top 4 club in this country and we should be in there for him now.
Because he's David Moyes I suspect.
But then again, it doesn't matter who it is - it's a no-win situation for any Everton manager saying anything Everton related it seems
Also the stick he's getting is from one robot it seems, the rest is mild criticism at best.

Funnily enough you apparently think Southgate’s a dullard too.
