David Moyes has been a great manager for Everton. But he's not a great manager for us right now.
Pointing this fact out does not mean you are a fickle fan, or clueless. It means you are a supporter of Everton Football Club. Not a supporter of David Moyes Football Club.
Moyes has been hampered by a charlatan of an owner and a greedy shower of clowns collectively known as the Everton Board. Not a personal penny put into the club in the past decade. The only plan for the past 4 years since Kirkby collapsed has been 'sell the club', yet the exorbitant price they're clearly asking for the club - in the financial state it is in - has clearly put off all buyers.
That does not excuse Moyes' arrogant reluctance to announce his decision whether to stay or not. Yeah, announcing in March that you're leaving at the end of the season would be terrible. But the current alternative is almost as bad, stringing people along, whilst at the same time telegraphing you're leaving to the point even Stevie Wonder can see you're exit-bound.
Moyes tactics are woeful, his decision making is becoming increasingly poor, and his bizarre reluctance to play the young players, coupled with his ridiculous over-reliance on the aged 30+ 'good pro' gang of players led by Neville is a huge millstone around his neck.
Getting tired of the media perception that a) we should all be forelock tugging towards Moyes at all times, and that he can never ever be criticised; b ) that when Moyes wins a game he's the next Utd/Chelsea manager, but when Moyes loses a game, he's staying at Everton and 'Everton are lucky to have him'.
It just continues the deterioration of how our club is viewed by outsiders & the media - not as a big club with great support, but as a club apparently owing everything to Moyes. We need fresh ideas and a fresh start. Is it a risk we'll end up like Villa? Of course, but is stagnation and patronisation a better option? For the fans it certainly isn't. Many of us are sick to death of it all. Sick of the 'stepping stone' transfer stories for all our players the minute they play well, or the manager when he wins a game. The club asks us for commitment and we give it. Why is it too much to ask for that in return from the club's manager and players?
