CONFIRMED: Moyes Leaving - All Reaction Here

Di Canio can suck my balls

 

[NewRadical]

Di Canio is very outspoken. I can't see him working well with our board , not convinced he would be the right man for the job anyway.

Kills me to say this cos I'd love a nutter like di Canio to shake this corpse of a club up but if he's Mussolini re-incarnated 'fraid not.

 

[Bluenose1995]

Yeah, if you want a guy who supports and is proud of being a member of a team of racists.

thats racist man.

Bill: "If you can hang on to the summer Paolo and maybe sell a player we could provide a mill or 2 for squad strengthening."

Di Can: **** off.

 

[Carlito]

Everton couldn't hire someone like Di Canio. He'd be marching with the Blue Union by the end of his first transfer window.

Kenwright will want someone who'll be grateful for the opportunity and won't charge £60-70k a week to toe the part line. I expect Dave Jones to be in the frame.

Moyes and money: I'm sympathetic to a degree. Of course, Billy Liar is to blame ultimately - he's an absolute disgrace - but has Moyes been more onboard with the 'business plan' of the owners than he ever should have been? He's been way too closely associated with Kenwright and way too understanding with how they want to run the club without investment. He's not entirely blameless.

The other thing with Moyes (I've mentioned this before) is that he's been 'time-rich'. Not many managers get the amount of time he's had to fashion teams the way he wants. Has he done enough in his time here to suggest he's used 11 years wisely? Probably. Results-wise he's had us in very respectable company at the end of most seasons. On the other hand, we've hardly played consistently with a great deal of flair, and I think someone else may have gotten a better standard of football from the players we've had through in his time.

Agree with some of that but the time rich thing I am not so sure is the advantage you see it as, as it has not been a steady - add players to improve squad each year - setup at Everton.
First year he's trying to not get relegated
Then he's trying to not sell Rooney as he's the only quality we seem to have
Then he's trying to spend the Rooney money on keeping us up.

After that though we are relatively stable, however every year has seen the gap between where he wants to put us and the squad he can build to get there get bigger and bigger.
7 or 8 years ago we were maybe 20mil away from a top position, we are now hundreds of millions of pounds away.
Every year our team loses decent players to be replaced by cheaper players, whilst those around once more spend vast sums to improve their squads and the players..
And yet the manager, and the players who have been there for years.. they suck it up and go again re-motivated by their loan signing against the backdrop of half a billion pound summer transfer record, and they attempt to improve on the season before, without another one of their better players... This is Moyes time rich scenario.
I am just not so sure that time-rich is actually the advantage you see it as under the circumstances he's in.
Way I see it, every year this job must get harder to tread water when he clearly wants to push forward.

Having said that the time given afords him the ability to build the team, decide who to sell (generally) and who to buy, and the fact he can buy a youth player knowing he will get to see him play when he's ready and can bring him through like Coleman for example has to be good thing.
No point in Mancini buying a youngster for example. But they don't have to, they just spend 30mil on a new player in his prime, however we'll use Anichebe, Coleman, Hibbert, Osman and the rest of our boys and beat them anyway, because we have a manager who is good enough in the market and tactically capable of doing just that regardless of what people say.

Although he is s**t at Anfield and hasn't won any silverware.. still has a decent chance to put both those to bed this season.

Wonder what the attitude towards Moyes leaving would be if we won at Anfield and won the FA Cup.

I was pondering our attitude towards him if we won the FA Cup this season but missed out on Champions League and he left us, and how he would be regarded in our history.

 

[ToffeeMike]

I actually want Moyes to move on, it's about time we brought a fresh new way of playing football instead of the negative cautious approach that Moyes play's. Martinez would be the man, especially with the players we have now are capable of playing brilliant attacking football. People may disagree but that's my view of it....

I'd change my tune entirely, since a large part of my tune is that I don't think Moyes is capable of doing either.

Mind I'd also change my tune if God appeared in person in Goodison and blessed Moyes as his chosen one, and I think that scenario is about as likely as yours.

I was pondering our attitude towards him if we won the FA Cup this season but missed out on Europe and he left us, and how he would be regarded in our history.

Presumably he'd be rembered as a central figure in some bizarre plan to murder Platini, as I can't think of how else we'd win the cup and miss out on europe.

Don't be silly.

At the end of the day David Moyes owes Everton nothing. We are in a far far healthier position than when he joined with a decent squad. Everton also owe him nothing! We have given him the platform to forge his reputation, when in reality he could have been sacked a couple of times. I don't want Moyes to leave, but if he does we will get someone else - you never know they may be better, but they could be far worse. Exciting times ahead
