This is so laughable I can't even find the right smiley for it. The big egoist russian is going to appoint someone who has never won anything to manage his plaything? Your anti Bill posts make more sense than this regurgitated Moyes to Chelsea idea.
Oh you forgot your patented 'clap clap clap'. I miss reading it.

Okay, first of all, calm yourself down a bit here. It's only an opinion.
I think there have been a number of times where a typical premiership chairman would have shown Moyes the door.
After qualifying for the Champs league that next season 05/06 was a disaster of huge proportions. Many's a chairman would have got rid of Moyes then.
Same again in the summer of 2010 or hell even last season. We were brilliant from January onwards when some cash was spent in the window only for us to be brutally raped at Anfield and then Wembley by the sh!te.
I'm not doubting that Moyes has been very good for Everton over the 10 years and was exactly what was needed after the Smith years but there's no point praising him to be a feckin God and turning tricks in the transfer market if he doesn't do anything with it.
The quality/value of our first team of say 13 or 14 players would easily stand us in the top 6 compared to the other clubs in the league. Yes that's a great achievement in terms of assembling that squad on buttons like Wenger has done but it means nothing if there's no end result. The league is famous for trigger-happy chairmen.
Moyes is not bigger than the club and his achievements are overyplayed by a fawning media. I'm genuinely not arsed if he signs a new contract or not.

Not trying to be funny but what does "not bigger than the club" actually mean?
Is it like "if he leaves the club won't disappear?" That seems like too obvious a thing to mention. Like the contrary would never be the case* so why bother pointing it out?
Or does it mean "he's of a higher status than the club itself." So was Lescott bigger than Everton? Rooney? Arteta? Jeffers?
Are the City owners bigger than City? They'd get worse if they left but they wouldn't cease to exist.
Or does it just mean "we won't be worse if he leaves?" Even if you don't rate Moyes you can't say that -- we could hire the most horrible manager ever (or even worse than that ... Martinez!). There is an unknown variable involved which makes that a pointless statement with no grounding in facts unless you believe Moyes is literally the worst manager who has or ever will exist.
Not really important I know but it's one of those clichés people always say and I'm genuinely not sure if it has any real meaning.
Has any player, coach, owner ever been bigger than Everton? Is it possible? If it's not possible why does someone mention it every single day? Is it tantamount to saying "he's not as physically big as Goodison" ... technically true but why ever say that out loud?
* Aside from maybe with Chelsea and their owner if he called in the debts?
I should probably delete this without posting (I'm nervous about the QF cut me some slack!) but then I wouldn't have a chance to say MARTINEZ OUT!

Well for me it means that contrary to what the whole media thinks we won't implode if Moyes goes in the summer. I'm bloody mad we wont get a compensation sum for him but I think the next manager will inherit a very good team and we'll have a whole new journey to enjoy. Granted it will be more risky than with Moyes but I will happily embrace that. Over the next 3 years we might have a dodgy league finish to deal with once but we might win a cup and give the sh!te a good hammering a few times.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Id have to agree with that.
As long as we don't get a journey man manager here for a wage, and get someone with hunger to succeed and progress their career (just like Moyes did), we will be fine.
Moyes has a ton of respect from fellow managers in this league. It's almost a big a deal as the person who will step up and take over SAF at United. Maybe not in terms of someone overtaking a true legend of a club, but that terms over taking over from a respected and long term manager who has changed a clubs fortunes... It's big job who needs a manager who wants to succeed a big name.
The only uncertainty is whither David Moyes signs a new contract and that I find unsettling.
I can easily accept that he thinks it's time to move on(I firmly believe that is what he has decided),he is probably right anyway.I would shake his hand and thank him for all that he has done for us.
At what stage does David Moyes decide that no better offer is forthcoming and commit himself to Everton and if he is so halfhearted about staying will a new contract be so littered with escape clauses as to render it useless.
It does put the board in a difficult position as the want the manager to stay but must consider the future of the club.
It may well be that agreements on the future have been decided privately between manager and chairman but as this has been kept very private it leaves us supporters in limbo.

Now that Moyes leaving is a real possibility, for the first time I'm actually starting to worry about who we might bring in as a replacement.
Don't get me wrong, we're still a big name in football, and I have no doubt we could attract a top manager who could be better than Moyes, I just have very little faith in the board and chairman to actually find that man. I'm **** scared about a Megson, Jones or McLeish being bought in. So really, Moyes leaving doesn't bother me unduly, it's the man to replace him that worries me.
