2024/25 David Moyes

[MACCA75]

Theyve significantly closed the gap on both Spurs & United

Jokes aside...hes played a major part her by signing most of the terrible squad he left them with.

I mean they had a head of recruitment and Moyes had his squad 9th. That’s where his involvement ended.

Moyes: it goes beyond what he can and cant do as a manager of Everton.

It's more important than that. The fact he's here and getting backing from our fans is testimony to where we are as a club now.

Two or three decades ago there's no way a manager (an unsuccessful one at that) could come back to this club for a second spell after disrespecting and trying to rip off the club when he left. No chance that'd have happened years ago.

But we are where we are now and any manager who comes in and gets us safe in the PL will be forgiven for anything.

An Everton Football Club in the past or that'd been a success in the last few years would never have sanctioned a second spell for a manager who'd done that to the club.

Yeah, I get the 'safety' dimension here from supporters who are exhausted by relegation fights, but Moyes is playing on that and he knows he's VERY fortunate to get back in here for a big pay day before he retires.

We should be grateful for nothing where he's concerned. The gratitude should be all on his side. And still he continues to take the piss by getting his brother's client Adams in here for a wage he's never going to earn.

At least just wake up to the utter rancidness of Moyes as a feller.

Or.... He's come in after Benitez, Lampard and Dyche, three absolutely abject managers and people are,understandably pleased with what he is doing. Is he a long term fix? Of course not, but, he is the man to change the mindset Dyche created at the club. Asa feller,as you put it, doesn't really come in to it.

Do you think that head of recruitment signed the players?

Word 'on the street' was that he excluded the bloke and had the final say on signings.

Its no coincidence that transfers were dreadful at every club since he left. Not to mention the mess of squads he left behind.

Does for me.

I'm not really forgiving of any former manager who shat on us when he left.

That cant be conveniently forgotten for me.

I admit I am more concerned about Moyes with money than without money. He found gems on a dime in his first stint here. I haven't seen quite the same when he has had backing.

I agree, I hope we don't have much of a budget as he works better in those circumstances.

If our next manager better than them three, it will all be down to Moyes and what he’s done for us.
Our last three/four shortlists have been shocking, I imagine when he leaves it will much improved.

I doubt even West Ham would appoint a head of recruitment and give him zero say on recruitment.

Word on the street is he massively improved West Ham (twice) and since he left they have brought in 9 players and spent over £100 million to go massively backwards.

But.... You support all Everton managers. Ha ha

He managed West Ham well, but his recruitment was generally poor. If he'd been a good manager and good at recruitment they'd have made Champions League.

Yeah he should have won the Champions League with them, he had a shocker tbh.

I don't know if I wish a low budget on him, but I don't really trust him with money. Especially if he prefers players like Doucore behind the striker. I don't think there are value picks like Cahill and Fellaini in that role anymore.

Qualified for, not won, like Emery and Howe have done with Villa and Newcastle on a similar budget.

I wonder if Moyes might have simply had less of a say / less care in WHU fees than when he was here the first time….
Ie if he said he needed Kudus for example and the DOF giddy with cash (much like our last two were) we just happy to go to £45m because Moyes wanted him and they wanted to give it billy big potatoes in the market .

Much as I don’t have much time for him, he was (initially at least), much more vested in the financial health (or constraints) of Everton than I think he has been elsewhere.
