2024/25 David Moyes


I don't feel when we appointed Benitez levels of enragement at all.

I'm not exactly doing handstands either, but Moyes should make us competitive and tough to beat again.

Hopefully he'll leave some solid foundations in place for his successor to build on. It's all about trying to get the club eventually into a position where we can compete for the european places again.

I'm disappointed with this appointment but moving into Bramley Moore as a championship outfit would be a disaster. I can see the new owners reasons for this move, even if i am one of those people who'd prefer someone else.

The second coming of David Moyes is not quite the fresh start i had in mind!

agree here
 
Moyes is here now and there’s nothing we can do about.

I’m disappointed because it doesn’t give me the hope I was expecting from the new owners.

Everyone saying it’s 2.5 years to lay foundations for the club, then what? Wait another 2 years for us to get the right man that’s 5 more years of investing time money and emotions.

I know Newcastle and Villa had a better starting position than us but the correct managerial appointment got them in the CL within 18 months. I feel with Moyes we’re just going to exist like we have been for decades.

Quite frankly it’s boring the crsp out of me now, his football style hardly gets you off your seat neither.
 
Honestly, do you really think Dyche - who took two points deductions on the chin last season and kept going through it with flying colours - would walk away from a team out of the relegation zone with a game in hand?

Dont believe these owners using Kopite hacks to make you think they had no choice but to sack Dyche.

These owners have it all to prove. They've wrecked their relations with fans at one club and that stunt of sacking Dyche and making him carry the can for it and then hiring a washed up manager like Moyes means he's well on the way to sickening another fanbase.
Yes he took two point deductions but you could also say that we didn’t win a game in a ridiculously long time and if we had an owner that was even half interested at the time he would have been gone then.

That said, if he kept us up with those point deductions then our squad was clearly capable of staying in the league so it’s not like he performed miracles
 

Let him, let him play out that underdog mentality. It's better than Martinez calling everyone a diamond and watching it all backfire.
We don't have to play out an underdog mentality, we are underdogs against at least 15 teams in the division. We don't need our manager also telling us we're terrible. We just had a manager who did exactly that, how did that go?
 
4d chess by Everton’s new owners, we won’t need any new wingers now because our striker will be over there instead. The Friedkins already saving the club money.

Having thought about the appointment, I do get it (doesn’t mean I’m ecstatic about it). A shiny new progressive coach could have been disastrous if there were not going to be wholesale changes this month to the playing staff. It’s not a crazy appointment as Moyes is in a different stratosphere to Dyche and it should never be forgotten by Evertonians that it’s because of Dyche and how catastrophic he’s been this season that Moyes is here now.

Just feels meh because it confirms that we’ve stagnated for years and have ended up pretty much where we were when Moyes first came in 20 years ago ffs. This time, however, there is a magnificent new stadium and hopefully with it some financial wiggle room to start improving the playing staff which is sorely needed just as much as flushing the turds bleeding the club dry for far too long. The club HAS to stay in the league this season, it’s unfortunately the primary objective half a season in because the last cowardly incumbent had absolutely zero tactical or coaching acumen in to how to get a team to create chances and score goals even though he’d had over 330 games experience. Apparently he couldn’t teach the players to “smell” a goal, Jesus Christ.

I detested Moyes in the last 2 odd+ seasons at Everton and the cosy glass ceiling he’d made for himself held him and us back but with hindsight and Kenwright calling the shots did he really have much of a chance? Just when we were on the brink of something we’d get crucial injuries to key players, the ‘Everton that’ curse in full view. When we were a geniune world class signing or 2 away from competing with the big boys we signed players like Denis Straquilarsi ffs. I wanted Moyes to be less of a percentage based coward back then against teams above us in the league but he just couldn’t do it but some of the football he got the team playing was excellent and a far cry from anything we’ve seen for years. I’m now hoping he taps into Goodison because the great lady is running out of occasions to be the glorious bear pit it can be and going out with a whimper after everything it’s witnessed isn’t fitting in the slightest. Good luck David
 
The pundits were saying Moyes is a sideways step from Dyche. Did they miss all his European finishes and the European conference cup he won? I wouldn't say its an exciting appointment but he is much better than scotch egg head it is not close! One gets ten men behind the ball and launches it to an isolated forward the other tries to be compact and counter and has effective ways of at least trying to score. They aren't "the same".

Also it's needs must, there was a very real risk in appointing the progressive manager we want right now with the squad we have and being one point above the bottom three...
 

I wouldn't be too concerned about the 2 and half year contract. They have already shown they are ruthless. They have made a sensible decision as regards getting someone in who has passion for the club, plenty of experience and is better than Dyche and who should be able lead the club to safety this season and hence into the new stadium still in the Premier League which is their main priority. They will see how he does and if he impresses then they will let him continue on. If he doesn't really impress then they will just get shut and get someone else in. They shouldn't have as many psr restrictions in the summer.

It's all good and think they have done ok so far tbf.
 
We don't have to play out an underdog mentality, we are underdogs against at least 15 teams in the division. We don't need our manager also telling us we're terrible. We just had a manager who did exactly that, how did that go?

I'm quite happy for him to play it down to the press as long as results come in and the team don't feel unnecessary pressure
