2025/26 David Moyes

[JobForTheMoyes]

That's precisely why some of us never wanted him back. So, hard to accept somebody whose flaws you cannot accept.

Shake his hand in the summer - or next week if he disrespects the cup - and move on.

It’s a bit weak intellectually though. You want the best manager you can get.

 

[Lanolin]

Yes, we're stripped of our better players. But the two players highlighted played against Spurs and Newcastle, when we were utterly pathetic. The tactics at home are a big issue.

And West Ham, the first half against palace etc which were just as bad. It does feel a bit like some people have forgotten all that and are just putting it all down to players being missing.

 

[Bebeto]

With all the "big" clubs sacking their managers, there is going to be a nice pool of free managers available for hire. Not saying we should sack moyes, far from it, but for any club now looking for a new manager, there are going to be some great options.

I get what you mean but also that's what I'm getting at - if our manager 'doesnt fit into the plan', why is he our manager? Why aren't we getting one that fully buys into the plan, rather than fights against it by managing for the short term and not developing young players?

The next manager may already be there. I know they think highly of Leighton.

Tactics and team selection are on Moyes

Depends, David. If these Yanks are simply here to nurture their investment before flipping in a few years, 9th may make no more difference to them than 13th. I've seen no evidence that they have set any great ambitious targets during their tenure to date. Hope I am very wrong, mind.

From the Yanks point if view, getting into Europe too quickly could actually be dangerous for their strategic goals as it takes lots of resources.

Fans want high finishes and cups, but boards look at the bigger picture.

What different tactics did we use defending set pieces ?

Moshiri and Kenwright say "Hi!"

We don't have any.

 

[hetion]

Keane has a chance to be back for Brentford apparently

David I swear if you immediately stick Jake back at RB

Okay David THIS time if you do it I will send a strongly worded letter!

 

[Dixieslaces]

I think Moyes gets a contract extension. He won’t be gone any time soon.

No chance.

 

[James Patrick]

We don't have any.

Or the quality we faced was better - sometimes set piece tactics are irrelevant if your opponent is better or sharper on the day.

 

[Swartzy]

I hope this is true because it's exactly how the club should be run right now.

But I don't understand how Moyes fits into that. A manager who has a huge say in transfers and a) has totally different goals to the ownership (results right now) and b) is incredibly averse to developing those youngsters that the whole plan is based around. Why would they keep him on longer than this season?

Defeats the whole object of that supposed 3yr plan, when Moyes contract takes up 2 1/2yrs of it.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Cracks me up every time I read about him ‘going upstairs’ in the future.
I’m yet to see anything indicating such a move other than on here, and there’s absolutely nothing in his past that suggests he’d be at all interested in it.
If anything he’s shown lots of distain for those pulling the strings ‘from upstairs’ so why he would want to impose that on his replacement I don’t know.
What would he even do ‘upstairs’ that doesn’t already have one of Anus’s team of world leaders in their field already doing it.

A complete work of fiction. Seems everyone is away with the fairies.
