2024/25 David Moyes

[Toffe3m4n]

He's done better than I thought he would to be fair, but he now has a very important job in the summer to get us the right players to kick us on next season!

Dave you really should leave this alone.
I was one of the ones happy Moyes left...for the reasons you mention.
(Fear of the 'top' clubs away and all that knife to a gunfight bollox.)
But come on ! You gotta admit Dyche was Moyes Lite at very best !
He tended to approach every game defending a 0-0. !!!
Neither is my ideal manager but I know which one's better 100%.
Just qualifying for Europe wasn't enough for me .... but I'll tell you what, I've missed it since.

Yes, but our choice shouldn't just be limited to Dyche or Moyes.

Can we throw Gareth Southgate in as an option?

 

[davek]

To be fair, he had to get us clear of danger first, which he did in his first few games

I do give him credit for that.

Anyway, surviving was more important. It diesn; matter who achieved it for us: Lampard, Dyche or Moyes.

Or Duncan Ferguson?....

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Yes, but our choice shouldn't just be limited to Dyche or Moyes.

This is the thing.

But it is what it is - it'll either be a very happy accident, or another in a long line of 'Everton, that'

Because David Moyes was never the man TFG wanted to come in after Dyche this summer.

 

[TonyT65]

Yes, but our choice shouldn't just be limited to Dyche or Moyes.

But it was... DM was an obvious choice for the next step going forward. If we hit that glass ceiling again (another of his old sayings !) , then I hope the next decision is also correct.

 

[Rita_Poon]

14 draws as of today, brighton and arsenal 11 a piece this season. We've 7 games to play. We are now officially uncatchable by southampton. (erm, points deductions not withstanding).
We got 48 points last year, that's another eleven from where we are now, it's doable but I'm not brimming with faith we'll match it.

Should have had a thimbles worth more faith.

TFG have been quick in chopping their own appointments at Roma, so Moyes has that to contend with. But he also has the added problem of being assoiated with a previous owner and era of the club.

New brooms tend to brush clean.

I think he'll have to have us top half pretty much all next season to keep his job.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Could work well for both parties. Moyes knows he has to perform unlike in his first period as Kenwright was never firing him.

Friedkins could get the best version of Moyes which is a very good manager until he can’t take us any further.

Sacking him now would be Moshiri levels of stupidity.

If you extrapolate his points per game over a 38 game season you get about 62 points, which is a very solid return and would put us in 8th. Give him a bit more quality in the summer and with the amount of teams who’ll be playing European football next year we have a very good chance of getting European football and/or a cup run

On a personal level I dont like him. But as far as doing a job here as manager I'm open minded...but he really will have to have us top half to show we can progress under him. If he dos that next season then ok.

Expectations from black ball FC will be managed all summer and with the volume of changes, he'll be sound.

I think whoever is the manager this summer should be given the season in full, we can't keep sacking managers midseason and scrambling around with a poor shortlist.

 

[MikeH72]

Or Duncan Ferguson?....

Yes!

And Gareth Southgate.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Yes!

And Gareth Southgate.

I'd rather Southgate over Ferguson, mind.
