CONFIRMED: Moyes Leaving - All Reaction Here

[Neiler]

I don't know, we'll have the chance to ask United fans next year.


My god the negativity of some people is actually worrying.

I really need to be convinced of the blind optimism - in fact I'd love to be convinced.

Hard facts are we don't have a pot, a hefty wage bill and need to sell to buy, I've been here before with Everton in these circumstances - it ain't pretty.

Honestly I'm astounded by the naivety and pray I'm wrong.

 

[Neiler]

Are you comparing Bill to The Fonz?

Im thinking the quiff isn't coincidental!

 

[bluemangroup]

If you get in quick there might be some season tickets left for old trafford next season. No need to carry on watching dreary old Everton when your idol's team are playing.

Oh **** off. What's the point in getting at other blues to prove how unarsed you are about Moyes? People are reacting to this and think it will be to the detriment of Everton. They could be right.

Oh well, Chelsea v Spurs finished 2-2

We win our last two and Spurs lose theirs we're in Europe

So you had no trust at all whatsoever in Moyes when he was first appointed, and you never backed anyone related to Everton?

Hard facts are, we could sell Fellaini and still have a very good team, plus wage and transfer money from him. That is unless you think that Moyes is Everton and that only he can manage our current set of players, and only he can get a good transfer in.

Honestly I'm astounded that some people claim to support Everton. Currently you're doing everything but, and trying to find reasons to be negative. Be positive for a change, life will reward you. I don't know how I'm the naive one, having trust in my favourite club.

Well, we've shifted the heftiest portion of the wage bill, and it will reduce again when Heitinga, Neville and Fellaini are off on their travels. Sure, it's always hard to replace a manager that has done well, but honestly, it's not like we're losing a manager who's won 42 trophies like Ferguson. The reason I'm not overly optimistic is that Kenwright doesn't know whether he needs a sh*t or a haircut, but even he managed to get it together enough to appoint the messiah that is moyes, the best human shield since that little English lad in shorts that saddam hussain signed back in the nineties.

Or, and it's not even a moderately big 'or', they can be horrifically wrong and we could be good.

But let's all think it's doom and gloom instead.

Oh well, Chelsea v Spurs finished 2-2

Stop being positive, it's not very well looked at here today.

Struggling here to work out how the most successful manager ever wants to anoint as his successor someone who according to many on here is 'tactically inept' and 'clueless'.

Anyway, seen all this before. The club goes on, the football goes on, the king is dead long live the new king etc. (As long as it's not THE king, God forbid).

Shouts of imminent relegation are wide of the mark, especially with this squad of players. But when a good team breaks up (which is now the biggest fear) it is impossible to see how we can go in any direction other than backwards without a change in the running of the club.

Wish Moyes every success at Utd - he deserves this chance after putting up with Bill's empty promises of investment for years. And most importantly, he leaves the club in a much better position than the one he found it in, which is all you can ask really.

Let me try.

Everton FC will not perish when Moyes leaves.

A new manager will have a good first 11 and some good youngsters coming through - yes he might need or want to sell some of our most prized assets, but should get some replacements in.

Kenwright for all his wrong-doing is willing to let the manager more or less run the club- thus making it attractive to many managers.

We might end up with a manager who:
- is not scared of so-called bigger clubs
- goes for the win, not to "not-lose"
- actually gives youth a chance
- plays attacking football
- will have more than one plan/tactics.

Moyes has been great for us, but the relationship has become stale.

Well you'll forgive me if I don't join it with people licking their lips at Everton "plummeting down the table" so they can be proved right on an internet forum.

We shifted none of the wage bill mate it increased last year, prob with shifting Neville and Heinga is you need to pay replacements in addition to transfer fees, with Nev leaving for nothing and The fact we can't give away Heitinga I'm not overly optimistic on that economic model. Less we forget if Fellaini leaves that's a gaping hole of our top scorer and last time I checked their expensive both in fee and wages.

Your right though I'm not optimistic either, hopefully blind luck strikes twice and ill happily take stick for it - can't see it tbh.

This.

For all Kenwrights wrong doings, he is essentially a theatrical salesman. You only have to listen to the JF96 speech and the numerous tv and radio interviews he has done over the years. Yes we think he is a waste of space but the general opinion outisde of Everton is that he is a pretty good chairman doing a good job. The one thing i think he would be good at, is selling the managers position to whoever they the board see fit, and no i do not mean Mclaren,Alladyce or Coyle et al.

Good point and I hope you're right.

Nah Dane all the players will leave for seemingly no reason and we'll get relegated within 2 seasons and become the new Bradford because DAVID MOYES.

I was being a bit facetious in the fact that Moyes is the biggest chunk of our wage bill. I appreciate we need to replace some players, but who knows, perhaps a new manager will breathe new life into some of our players who have looked out of sorts this season (Pienaar, Jelavic, Heitinga) Maybe he'll promote two or three young players who would never have got a look-in under Moyes, and one of them turns out to do the job. Who knows?
