2024/25 David Moyes

[Bohemian Toffee]

I'm beginning to think that a win, might not mean all our problems are fixed and a defeat might not mean that we will be automatically relegated.

You'll stop this radical nonsense at once.

Honestly, I didn't even watch yesterday; just kept an eye on the score because I am so disillusioned with his appointment.

End of the season and gone sounds like a dream to me, would love to see the club appoint someone with more of an identity than this dour, selfish ghoul.

New broom sweeps clean eventually, IMO.

You dont buy a football club and then employ a manager associated with another ownership.

Desperate to stay in the PL they turned to Moyes, but his attitude and ropiness will make sure he's here short term.

Predictably, all of the Dyche weirdos who’ve been absent from this thread for weeks have felt empowered enough after a defeat to finally show their faces in here. Been sat on the sidelines lurking, waiting for it. These people are enemies of the football club and must be resisted.

Absolutely.

Sitting silently in the corner waiting for the first hiccup.

Pathetic actually, then they call themselves supporters.

Of what?

Don`t think your dream will be coming through. The game started a bit poorly, they came at us straight from the kick off and that might have unsettled us a bit. Stupid mistakes cost us 2 goals and that would have been enough pre Moyes this season to have many people switch off knowing the second half would not be any better and probably worse. But we spent a good chunk of the second half going right at them, hitting the woodwork 3 times, and bringing on subs that had us really having a go to get back in the game rather than not try to hold onto a 2-0 defeat.

I think bringing Moyes back will work to stabilize things on the field, and maybe move us forward and after a couple of seasons be a better starting ground for a new manager to really push us back up the table.

I think his ego his telling him he can do better with the same bunch of players.

Fortunately the 3 wins he got for us with them have handed us a cushion that'll keep us up.

this is embarrassing.

As an aside: does anyone else see Moyes second time around and wonder where his intensity is compared with the first time around or even in his last job at West Ham?

I know he's older, but he's not that old.

Just seems a bit too relaxed about matters to me. Nothing yesterday on the touchline, just standing there with a perplexed look on his face - when he could muster himself out of the dugout that is. Press conferences the same: come day go day attitude.

He stated in yesterday's post match interview that he's working with a limited squad and that was demonstrated by putting Michael Keane up front. Individual errors cost us yesterday and Bournemouth knew exactly how to deal with Beto. I think his intensity will come when he makes his mark on this squad but he couldn't have been pleased with what he saw in that first half.

The fella from the i paper has said TFG see Moyes as an anchor for the club. So I don’t expect he’ll leave before the end of his contract. Get the recruitment right in the summer, get the team pushing up the table then hand the reins over when it’s looking up. I can’t see Moyes wanting to be here until he’s 70 but if he is then it probably means he’s been doing a cracking job

So are you saying new owners should only employ managers who have never worked at another club?

Sunday morning. Sun is shining. The raging kopite logs onto GOT for his usual tirade of baseless nonsense.

When will it change.

 

[Marius57]

I think we are in agreement...

We are. I was just adding to your point

Thanks for the summary, appreciate it.

We'll see on the wider point in the summer, I think avoiding relegation shouldn't be the automatic extension that clubs seem to think it is.

Dyche would have relegated us, or at least run it close. But there are abysmal teams in this league, Southampton and Leicester spring instantly to mind. I hope we can take a reasoned approach in the summer and if it's Moyes on merit, results, individual improvement and some decent possession based performances then I will get behind it.

I think the original plan was to let Dyche see out his contract then start afresh in the summer with a new manager.

The TFG still probably have that target manager in mind and using Moyes as a stop gap. Fair play to them as a change was needed and Dyche had to be sacked.

Moyes will have to do a fantastic job for the remainder of the season to have a chance at staying.

They are very trigger happy with managers and even if Moyes does a decent job which he is currently doing it wouldn't be a shock to see him paid off in the summer.

Good. That’s what he was brought in to do. Remit reached in that case so would have be an excellent decision by our owners.

If he carries on the performances and results of his first 5 games till the end of the season will you be happy?

I'm not saying that at all, no.
