2024/25 David Moyes

[Rita_Poon]

I did love this answer though. Which also didn't have much to do with the question asked. Maybe Davey was just doing his own press conference

 

[Rita_Poon]

he said the abuse Doucoure received was "completely wrong"

what more do you want him to say?

"...and I will find you!"

 

[Bluelenny1984]

I must say, as much as I personally prefer we get a new manager in the summer, I am delighted for the fans who are buzzing right now after so much misery....in particular if yours is a common sentiment amongst the match goers to Goodison. It's great to read honestly

He was never an exciting appointment, but is he the right man for now?? Can he progress us and does he understand the club and its fan base??

I think the answer to all of that is yes, people have every right to feel maybe he could have handled his departure better but it’s a long time gone.

I’d like to think we have vastly experienced manager who knows what we want, I welcome some stability and hope for progress.

Some stretch people are going to to find a new angle to dislike Moyes with today.

 

[Rita_Poon]

I'm mostly surprised people still don't have him on ignore, mostly.

 

[Rita_Poon]

I couldn't agree more.

In which case every interview should make mention of it. "It happens all the time" isn't a reason to ignore it; quite the opposite.

Look how much taking the knee stirred the gammons up. There should be constant pressure from inside the game, on the police, the PL and social media (and the gammons themselves obvs) to ID and ban/prosecute perpetrators.

Forgive me, I've referenced the Saka incidents already, and that's what, 20 odd months ago? It's no excuse or a starter pistol for more of the same, but have you seen what's happened since? The social media companies and their owners have doubled down on enabling the racists, fascists, and wannabe murderers. This is a problem way bigger than the sport of football or the industry around it, we've seen today the very sad passing of the CA area on this very board because of legal obligations and requirements. The internet has descended into the lawless wild west, and the people happiest in this frontier are those getting paid for this human debasement.

Yep. Long term not the answer, but he's absolutely several cuts above this notion of him just simply being a temporary firefighter who's come in to do a job for a few months. Not that I suspect he'd have ever agreed to that, anyway.

At the moment I'm more than fine with him leading us into next season. It doesn't mean though I'm happy my club finds itself in this position in the context of the last 15-20 years.

I can’t see Moyes wanting to do another decade here but you can guarantee he’ll leave us in a better position when his contract ends. I’ve said before if he gets an extension because we’re doing well then that’s great.

The key will be TFG getting the right replacement to progress us even further. BK and subsequently Moshiri made a complete horlicks of that over the previous decade.

 

[Drico]

I think people are being far too harsh on Moyes. I mean, it's not like he threatened to slap a female reporter now, is it.

We all want progress, we all want to compete at the top but the fact we didn’t wasn’t down to Moyes in my opinion in his previous time here. We have been mismanaged from the very top for decades what is needed is a cohesive club all pulling in the same direction, run properly with a complete culture change. That has to start with the new owners and filter through the club.

Change is needed I just hope it’s here and now we see it.

He is a football manager, in a pre match football press conference.

Now people are wanting him to speak out about all the racial problems we have in this country. Come on people, not sure how many times it needs to be said, he is a football manager in a pre match football press conference.

The situation is being dealt with, I really don't see it as David Moyes's job to be speaking about it. Who knows, Doucoure may have asked him personally not to speak about it as he is dealing with it or he does not want to be dragged publicly into it. Some people are just not as vocal and don't feel comfortable being the centre of these things.

He obviously condemns racist abuse but sometimes there is a place and time and person to speak fully on these subjects. Maybe, just maybe, those with an obvious agenda against him should stop to think about this and really evaluate what they are asking Moyes to be doing here.

Let him talk about the football as, just in case you did not know, he is a football manager in a pre match football press conference.

Exactly this. Today has been all about what Moyes should've said and because he hasn't come out and made a statement on a police incident he has really riled a few people. Football is his job and he spoke about exactly that. I'm sure the club will make a statement at some time but it won't be coming from the football manager.

 

[West Side Charlie]

Moyes is not the same manager that left all those years ago … he just looks much more calm and experienced … definitely the right appointment

Yeah, his ability to improve players, his tactical know how and his experience. I was gutted when he left last time but I understood why.
We are lucky to have him but I think he feels the same about us. I think he regrets leaving but he could hardly say no to the chance of a life time back then.

 

[Blue peter]

Staggered how anyone could criticise him given he’s been here for four league games, in that time beat Sours, drew with the RS and pulled us 10 points clear of relegation. We all sleep a little easier than we were four games ago. Absolute lunacy.
