2025/26 David Moyes

[Efcjake]

Who’re the plenty, name names

Most of you who want him sacked at the end of the season.

Some of you would still want him sacked if he did achieve Europe.

I don’t think many want him
Sacked if he gets Europe to be fair.

That's the same as saying you do want him sacked if he doesn't get Europe.

You didn’t say that though. You said Europe. I want him gone full stop as I’d be very surprised we make Europe

Is there really any point in naming specific names. The pro Moyes group on here who all seem to moonlight as fortune tellers with their crystal balls and tarot cards will instantly dismiss any as 'Not up to the job' or 'Won't do what Moyes does' or some other bit of random codswallop that they come out with because they can all see into the future. Like I said to you the other day, there will be a lot of managerial upheaval in the summer and Id like to see who is actually available first before making any decisions.

I get that,but I was asking the question of another forum member who just spouts sack Moyes posts by the hour. It's okay wanting a more progressive manager but that's dependent on the next transfer window budget and if or not we can offer European football to attract the right players. I honestly doubt any manager could get consistent results from this group by playing on the front foot.

Well I have said Iraola from the premier league , who apparently kinnear was keen on at Leeds. But there plenty of good managers across Europe. We’ve only ever appointed from
The premier league, bar smith and Moyes, but obviously both were British managers.
I wouldn’t mind us thinking outside the box for once, 2 names I’ve seen mentioned regarding who TFG like, Farioli and Fabregas

On the face of it Iraola would be a decent shout,but then Bournemouth have the pace throughout the team to play his system. That's something we lack all over the park. Fàbregas obviously hasn't managed in the Prem but does have a lot of experience playing in the Prem at the highest level. Be an interesting Summer... maybe.

TFG are ultra rich yanks, they will want us to be a profitable business but unlike some people I dont think they're here for the sole purpose of making a load of money.

You don’t know many ultra rich Yanks, I take it? How do you think they got ultra rich in the first place?

We heard the same shouts with dyche mate, nobody would do better with this group of players.

 

[jazzy]

He wont go upstairs, no chance.

Dodgy knees?

Surely TFG can afford a stair lift

It’s not just pace. And Moyes decided he wanted Grealish and Dibling, who both aren’t the quickest. Add Ndiaye and they all slow the game down. If Moyes wanted us to be counter attacking, why didn’t t he buy the players required

Moyes is here until the club has stabilized. I don't mean the team but the whole club.

Owners being here just over a year and getting their own people in.
Moving into a new stadium and all the teething problems you can get.
New sponsorship's setting up.
Improving the squad.
Loads more we wouldn't know of.

Anyone who thinks TFG see Moyes as the wrong person at the helm whilst setting the club up are out of their minds.
I would expect them to be done summer 2027 when his contract is up. I would expect change then at the earliest.

I won't be very patient if we sack Moyes and bring in someone with a better style of footy and worse results.

Regardless of context? Just straight up sack? Do you mean in the second season you would be calling for it?

If we sack David Moyes to bring in another manager the minimum expectation I will have is that they do better than Moyes otherwise why did we sack him.

I asked earlier how long a manager who isn't Moyes would get from the fanbase if the results are worse than Moyes?

It's typically one free year and then six months or less of the second season before the hammer comes down. See Silva and Koeman. Even Martinez fits this pattern, as soon as he stopped out perfoming Moyes he was gone about 18 months later.

The ownership has changed but the fans haven't.

We are not overly patient and glad to be watching free flowing footy if the results aren't good though there are plenty here who want a manager sacked while the results are good and they say the footy isn't entertaining them.

The thing is we’ve seen this manger for 20yrs managing in the premier league. 12yrs at our club, if he was new to the premier league or still inexperienced and finding his feet then I think you’d get more patience, but I think there’s a lot of fans, who know that this is close to as good as it gets

Like you said yourself there’s a lot we don’t know.
Things we do know he wasn’t on their
List for an appointment in the summer
He’s hard to buy for Kinnear’s own words
He has the final say, Moyes’s own words.

The next few months will determine whether he says or goes, where we end up in the league. Will kinnear and Co think they want to have more control over transfers. Will their number 1 target become available?
Also is it a good idea to let moyes continue going into the last year of his contract.
