i can see a lot of your points Timak but out of the managers at Sunderland,Stoke etc how many have had 11 years to build the team?
Thats 11 years of Osman and Hibbert

Can you explain how in 11 years of those around us spending vastly more than him to improve their squad, his job should actually become easier? I hear this 'he's been here a long time so should be doing better' quite often.. It simply makes no sense to me.

Sunderland managers keep getting their team relegated and get sacked.

Pulis has been there 8 years.
 
Just passing on what I have heard.....may be true, may be false I can't guarantee either way....

A fella I work with, works at GP on matchdays (media or PR or something like that). He said Moyes handed his notice in after the game on Saturday, Kenwright refused it. Also said there was a bust up in the dressing room between the players, but doesn't know who was involved.

Do you really think if Moyes had deffo made his mind up BK could have stopped him?
 
Moyes has his pro's and his cons.

Being emotionally involved means a lot of our fans only now think of the cons, such is the level of expectation that he had managed to revive in us all.

I remember when Rooney left, I was pretty much done with football at that point. What followed the season after was bloody marvellous. OK, the football wasn't great, but we have had some top days and nights at GP whilst Moyes has been in charge. Something we certainly never had for the preceeding few years before he arrived.

We all know we got left behind financially, so the fact that he was able to even get us competing was a very good job well done.

Can't help but feel now that it's like the end of a relationship that has just run its course.

By all means have your gripes with him for the way he has handled this, but do not forget the good he has done for the club and also the image of the club too.

I will be sad when he leaves, but like when coming to the end of a relationship with a woman who you still care for but know you are both just wasting each others time now, its simply time to go seperate ways.
 
You honestly think without Moyes we'd be in the Championship?

Quite possibly.

We almost got relegated in all but 2 seasons of the 10 years before he took over. Twice surviving on the last day of the season thanks to other teams results and several times going into the last 3 games with a chance of going down.

I am kind of with you.....scared of him not being there. But, he who dares wins Rodney!....and all that jizz.
 
What has that got to do with anything, Timak?

We were almost relegated in '94 but a mere twelve months later we were running round Wembley with the Cup.

That is a fact.

There is no way of knowing what would have happened if Moyes hadn't have came so to speculate on it is totally pointless.

And the counter argument is that if we had got a different manager at the time then he may have been able to advance past the prelininary stages of the CL and see us get the big money and exposure which might have transformed the financial picture.

But no one knows.

And I for one won't be sitting thinking we would have been relegated if the Moyesiah had stayed at Preston.

When you say you're scared mate, scared of what? You've got to be a pretty special manager to take a side of this quality to the Championship. We may as well take the risk and appoint someone fresh and exciting.

Watch us appoint Ian Dowie now and be relegated by April next year.

Agree with you there mate.
 
I sometimes think the job that Moyes has done on his 'limited budget' is overplayed.

Take United, City and Chelsea out of the equation in terms of financial comparisons.

That leaves us with Arsenal, Spurs and the RS. Of thos the last two have been busy changing managers like its gone out of fashion these last 10 years. By comparison Arsenal and us have stuck with the same manager. Wenger has a lower net-spend than Moyes but has had much more success.

So, forget the likes of Newcastle, Villa and Sunderland.....

There are two major clubs that have persisted with their managers through thick and think these last 10+ years. Compared to his one lone comparable, Moyes has come up short.

Ha :)

When I say scared, I mean of the unknown. That's all really! But, I would be equally as happy to see someone young and hungrier come in and shake the place up.
 
Everton have been in the football league since the day and hour it began.

That's is what, one hundred and thirty years or thereabouts?

In that time, two managers have presided over a relegation.

The last one over sixty years ago.

That suggets to me it that keeping Everton in the top league isn't all that hard to do.

Let's nor deify Moyes because we haven't been relegated this century.
 
What if David Moyes was the liverpool manager and he signed the the same player and had the same ££££ and had the same record over the last 11 years, what would think if him ?
