I cant believe he's described his first time here as 'successful'.
That underlines what we always knew about him: he just doesn't get Everton.
Winning zero trophies is not success. It might be to him but it isn't to Evertonians.
No matter how many times we hear the old 'Oh Davie Moyes' song this season (hopefully a lot as it'll mean we're doing ok), this feller will never ever be one of us. He's inauthentic and always will be. An outsider who will remain an outsider.
Considering the state we where in when he first got the job he's right.....
We were perennial relegation candidates, constantly skint and wasting money on well past it big names.. ginola, gazza etc...
He came in, made us defensively sound and hard to beat.
We became the best of the rest, only behind the teams with mega money.
Many of his targets that we missed out on ended up being top players at top clubs, Essien,hazard, cech, moutinho, negredo, manolas etc
Challenging top 4/ finishing in Europe became the expectation rather than a pipe dream....
He may have failed to take the next step but he's been consistently the best manager we've had at the club since we last won the league....
