2024/25 David Moyes

[evertony]

There was/is no such thing as a "safe choice"
Whoever was chosen it was always going to split opinion. Ultimately, he should be judged by points gained, as should any new manager.
Unfortunately, too many have a firm and unshakeable opinion formed before a ball is even kicked.

There were 'balls kicked' for 11 years with us, and many more since at lots of other unsuccesful Clubs. 1 European Conference trophy campaign against the finest teams from Finland, Latvia, Moldova, Slovenia etc is hardly something to be encouraged by!

18 months plus a 12 month extension option

Feel largely indifferent about this, as I seem to with most things Everton these days.

Just looking forward to the day we can stop firefighting and try and make some actual progress on the pitch.

 

[Neiler]

Made up he's the last manager at the Old Lady and first at BMD.

 

[Bwana]

more importantly find a new Arteta

This all year round.

UTFT!

 

[BloodOnTheTrax]

Am I delighted that Moyes is back? No
Will he play free flowing attacking football? No but it will be better than the last 2 seasons.
Are we now more likely to stay up than under Dyche? Definitely
Can Moyes put foundations in place for a new manager in the next couple of years? Yes

It's a sensible choice by TFG , we now all need to get behind him and the team .

COYB

Remember he couldn't save Sunderland and he threatened to slap a female reporter.

And the Zouma cat thing, wasn't he somehow involved in it by making a comment or something?

 

[Ironing Board]

His first signing just has to be Danny Ings.

To be fair, there aren't many managers with great records against the top 6 and in his last season at West Ham, they beat top 6 sides 3 times and got a couple of draws. That doesn't translate to us doing it of course, but West Ham were far better under him than they were when they moved him on - both times.

Loppy was an absolute dreadful appointment for West Ham which is why he’s already gone . Moyes won 3 games after Christmas last season and left behind the smallest and oldest squad in the premier league. This season has just been a continuation of the rot served up by Moyes last year.
Moyes seemed to get found out after a couple of excellent seasons, playing counter-attack. Ironically the cup win came when our form was spiralling down - nearly relegated that season.
His subs are bizarre, his low block doesn’t seem to work (74 goals conceded last season) and there is absolutely no plan B. All after spending nearly half a billion (west ham are prems 5th biggest net spend over last five years)
Honestly, watching low possession, low block football and still getting beat for so long is why West Ham fans like myself wanted him moved on, not because we weren’t grateful for the cup win or longed for some mythical, media-spouted ‘West Ham way’ .
I just don’t see much difference between him and dyche , in the same way I didn’t see much difference between loppy and Moyes .
Good luck though Moyes

 

[DualityNSNO]

Also poor Moyes, he's gonna have to come in and realise none of those players have had any attacking training for the last 2 years or so.

 

[Igrok]

Let’s wait till 18 months is over…

 

[evertony]

Why is he not bothering taking training today?

Already had his Gala Bingo tickets bought

 

[linderoth]

I'm delighted. Wasn't expecting to be. But he's an Everton man. And the Identity of the club is important. It's been lost the last ten years.

Emery couldn't win it last season? And he's the current media darling
