2024/25 David Moyes

[spudmuncher]

That Europe conference league is a bit of a joke tho .... it was made up for weaker nations teams to have a bit of a run in Europe... Premier league teams shouldn't be in it , and if they are should easily be winning it every season

At least with Moysie back i'm hoping we now will not suffer the appalling quality of signing we have seen in the last 8 years.
Look at his record, he has an eye for a gem, whether young or old.
Also he lifted European silverware very recently so his tactics are certainly not that out of date as some suggest.
I always dread revisiting the past but Moyes is far from the worst move we could have made. Can't wait to see his plans evolve. Good luck and COYB.

We haven't won a trophy in 30 years.

That Martinez first season was the best I have seen us play since the 80's. Losing John Stones to city didnt help the defense situation. But i get ur point.

Stones left after Martinez.

Everton beat Fulham 2-1 at Goodison Park on the 16th March 2002. This was the first match of David Moyes reign as manager of Everton FC and David Unsworth scored Everton’s first goal after just 32 seconds.

I was there then, Amazing start to his Everton Career

Bite your hand of to qualify for it, never mind play in it.

As I've said.

Eternally grateful for what Moyes did. Kenwright was ready to appoint Megson, and got lucky.

For Moyes to get us ticking, was absolutely outstanding. But it felt like he'd admitted defeat.

I think a lot of people seem to forget just how fed up the fans were by the end, we played Bolton a Tuesday night in Jan, and it was subtle 30,000 attendance.

He peaked with the side which lost to Fiorentina, and my personal last straw was bottling a Semi to the worst Liverpool side in 2 decades.

Ignoring his behaviour following his departure. He's spent alot of money at West Ham (regardless of net spend).

I just am struggling to see where everyone's excitement is coming from

And despite my huge negativity on the situation, I do hope he proves me wrong. I just fear the worst.

I’m not sure people are particularly excited by Moyes, it’s a needs must and overall I don’t think anyone should be better than neutral on the appointment….

….but given the squad we have right now and our position in the league if we had appointed a young, progressive, possession based manager all I would be feeling is abject fear.

I think Moyes can keep us tight and improve us in transition. That’s about it really.

 

[blue to the bone]

Wouldn't have been my first choice
But can see the logic behind it. The last 6 months were absolutely horrific.
That will improve at least . Huge summer ahead then .

But they aren’t, are they? We have a very overblown view of our own league.

Thomas Gravesen coming in as head nutritionist is outstanding.

Raw meat for breakfast/lunch/dinner

Can he play midfield still?

 

[kiss the crest]

I think what this appointment does is exactly what TFG wanted some stability and to get some foundations in, and start to build.

One thing we can all agree on is Moyes knows a player when he sees one, he will get Everton playing like a home team again that's for certain

 

[Ironing Board]

14 scorers in 37 games, we would wish to have someone like that in recent years.

Would be second best player here, behind Ashley Young.

 

[when i score we riot]

He's got 2 night games at Home under the lights - couldn't get a better start

Cue full Bear Pit mode X 2, a bit of bounce of the ball, maybe even 6 pts and he's an Instant Hero - always rated him etc etc.

No pressure then Davey...in your own time

Haha these were my first thoughts too.

Really though, big credit to the board on the timing of this. Dyche was ready to leave and now Moyes has time to bed in and get rolling.

This is very different to the awful timing of the previous gang, both Lampard and Dyche hires were really badly timed
