2024/25 David Moyes

[Marius57]

In some respects hell be a continuation of Dyche, in that he will be pragmatic and I don't expect us to be playing free flowing football.

I do think given funds he'll look to improve the squad and raise quality to the point we will play football. Albeit tempered with pragmatism, particularly in games he craps it in (big six aways, derby games etc).

His last season with us has been the season with the highest xG of any manager since. I think people forget he had us playing some decent stuff even if he was a more defensive minded manager

It's the less exciting appointment than someone like Fonseca, but probably the safer one. Good luck to him.

 

[Azza]

Pathetic.

“Now we need Goodison and all Evertonians to play their part in getting behind the players in this important season so we can move into our fabulous new stadium as a Premier League team.”

Putting it on the fans already. Nice.

I haven’t posted for a really long time.

For me, this is fine. In a straight choice of dyche or moyes it’s moyes for me.

When he left and especially after he tried to unsettle players, i was really glad he failed at united. After his Spanish disaster, i actually got over it and felt a bit sorry for him. At least i felt kama has happened and we were “even”.

Moyes taking us into BMD as a premier league club will be absolutely fine by me. I’d have been happy for dyche to do it to be honest. Last season and the year before were terrific achievements from dyche and i think he’ll end up in time as very respected for keeping us up. This year was a disaster and dyche looked shot. Thanks for keeping us afloat, but it was clearly time for him to go, with some thanks for a job done quite well done (not this year) in strange times.

That said, I hated watching Everton under dyche, and lost a lot of love of Everton, but I really hated Everton during franks last season and even more during the FSW era.

Today i don’t feel as disconnected from Everton. I actually want to see the next game and am genuinely Interested to see if someone like Beto under moyes flourishes. Last week i had nothing to look forward to at all. I’ve even bothered to post!

Welcome back Davey!

Not bothered about contract length really. If it’s 2/2.5 years as it being said, it’s just good negotiation and protection by his agent.

Similar to Fat Sam getting 18 months when everyone knew damn well he’d be gone after 6.

 

[Gilbert..]

Didnt like the way he left. But thats 12 years ago. Its dropped.
Dyche never really liked us and we never really liked him.
Moyes will get Goodison going.
Needs a decent window.

Didn't get to respond before the thread closed - Post in thread 'The return of David Moyes' https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/the-return-of-david-moyes.121043/post-11798872

See second paragraph. I possibly wasn't clear. I think he'll be pragmatic initially but over time he'll look to bring in a bit more quality to allow better football.

It's exactly what he did more than once in his first spell.

 

[Dancing Pat]

Guardian reporting that its official 2.5 years -

also quoted Moyes as saying that he had 11 enjoyable and successful years here!
Mmmmm.

 

[Noble Savage]

Was on the lash last celebrating being taken back by his ex.

After affairs with a Manc, Spaniard and a Cockney. Lucky ex.

 

[jamieni]

Has my full support. Am I excited? Nope but neither do I feel particularly worried about our fate now. Deffo got comfy slippers vibes this.

But, he’ll not get a lot of patience from fans or TFG so the onus is on Moyes to deliver quickly.

 

[brooklyn blue]

Kevin Nolan next..

 

[TrailerTrash]

Pathetic.




Putting it on the fans already. Nice.

Great, so you want him to say the fans have no part in it?

The complaining, and whingeing is ridiculous.

Some of you need to grow up. It's like you thrive on being personally put out, or offended.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Fully behind him. Not excited but needs must. I thought he did the dirty on a number of things when he left us. But we gave him crap from the stands in return. Fair is fair.
A positive is the ruthless efficiency the last couple of days have been from the owners. Hopefully they continue to cull the weak and unnecessary in the club.

Best of luck moysie.

If you’re not watching your Magnificent 7th VHS today with a box of tissues nearby, then you’re a terrible Evertonian!

The football was decent in his last couple of seasons. Bobby came in and there was a transformation which kind of put what Moyes had done in the shade, but we all know how that turned out.
