2025/26 David Moyes

Sunce you enjoyed it here's some more net spend context for you.

Dyche and Moyes had Everton squads last season with identical net spends. Let's see how they got on with this equal footing?

Moyes had us in top half form and Dyche had us 16th looking at relegation with 3 wins in 19.

Thank you for your attention to this bit of context about net spend.

Shame you completely ignored the context part to make that garbled point. ‘Equal footing’? One is in the last year of his contract under an owner who is actively selling the club, all the players manager and owner know Dyche and Moshiri won’t be there long after the takeover. The other is the new manager under brand new owners in a new era with Alcaraz through the door.

Equal footing indeed.
 
I honestly didnt realize that Moyes was so polarizing. As someone just said, no point trying to change peoples minds on the subject. There seem to be three camps: Those that did not like the small mentality ( knife to a gunfight) he had at the end of his first term here before he bailed to Utd and then tried to take Baines and Fellani. The second group, ( me) thinks he was a good appointment for the new owners, did well last year but see him as a throwback and not a long term answer after this summer and the third group who think he can do no wrong and is some kind of football genius. All are entitled to their opinion, it is a forum afterall. What I do think is weird is people damning him or more often defending him based on his perceived actions here 15 to 20 years ago. Totally irrelevent, the conversation about keep him or bin him should be totally about the teams, tactics and interactions hes having now, not what we perceive his relationship with players 15 years ago was.
If Moyes is being kept on until the end of his contract, then unless we see some improvement next season in regards to the style of football, and unless we go on a deep run in one or both of the domestic cup competitions then both concerned parties should go their separate ways.

I really think the owners should be hiring a director of football to make the decision on who the next manager will be for them and to organise the transfer policy in general. I don't think it's a good idea to leave Moyes to his own devices in regards to the transfer policy.

We should have stuck with the director of football model. The DOF structure itself was not the problem it was the wrong people being hired for the job that was.

In saying that though i thought Marcel Brands got a raw deal at Everton, and he seemed to be undermined by the board at every twist and turn. He wanted Marco Silva to remain as manager and he didn't want that kopite slob anywhere near Goodison after all.
 
sarcasm really doesn’t change it

we have the nucleas of a good side

we’ve got some young good players

it’s a BUILD we’ve been miles of clubs

off and on.

and moyes will carry on the build
Dave the builder? Doesn’t even sound right…only thing he can build is a rabbit hole…even that was already done for him
 
Agreed but the original post was about how Stones was an example of Moyes developing younger players & I was merely pointing out the anomaly that Moyes never gave him a minute of playing time.
No, it was about how Moyes isn’t averse to signing young players who will need to be developed, not about developing players per se. There are plenty of other examples in that latter category.

Which u21 players has Moyes signed and developed well?

This season were seeing Dibling and Aznou effectively lose a seasons progress and development after Moyes signed them. Two very highly rated players deemed not good enough to get on the pitch ahead of Dwight McNeil.

So the only way young players progress is getting slung in at the deep end?

Your post reeks of bias towards Moyes.

Hes totally and utterly mismanaged players this season.

You've seen Dibling play for us.
Ive seen a player looking vastly different to that ive seen for England youth and Southampton.

Also ive seen a player receive next to zero game time prior to the AFCON when he should have been warmed up with minutes and ready to go.

Not to mention Aznou with zero premier league minutes even after a promising and effective cameo vs a premier league team in the cup.

Alcaraz misused and a pointless unsuccessful failed experiment of slowing down our play significantly from last season to the detriment of multiple players.

Pathetic management.

What a retarded post but expected I guess
 
Lots and lots of squad options for Moyes to utilise now, he has always been at his best when he is forced into playing players in their correct positions who wouldn’t normally get a sniff. It’s going to be interesting to see how, and if, he utilises all these players at his disposal until the end of the season instead of shoehorning his favourites in at every opportunity.

He is perfect at what he does. He drills the defence and makes a team that's hard to beat,his problems come when we have to play a more expansive game to win matches. Probably the best manager for our position at present, going forward unless TFG invest heavily in the Summer next season will be more of the same.
