2025/26 David Moyes

[MikeH72]

I’m sorry but the destination is everything

That’s the mindset people need to have

If we’re winning cups in 5 years time and competing for champions league places then I’m not going to be arsed that we had some dull football under Moyes for 18 months so he could lay the foundation to get us there, and nor should anyone else

We don’t look like we’re progressing. We’re going backwards from where we were in the first half of the season.

We won’t be keeping him either in this scenario…

That's the point myself and others are making. He's fumbled, or has no interest in Europe, and without it there's no chance at all of keeping brantwhaite or N'Diaye.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

The few good players we have will have no interest in staying for a slow 5 year rebuild. We need to be aiming to qualify for Europe next season.

Then we have to sell them and buy well

The plan needs to be the plan and we need to stick to it

There is no instant gratification here. It’s going to be long, arduous, and sometimes even miserable, but we have to knuckle down and see it through

Sorry, that’s just what supporting Everton is going to be in the short term. Best accept it now

#Stability comes with an opportunity cost.

Tend to agree, but the result is all that matters.

Moyes has to find a way of getting results at home - I don't care whether he's picking people's favourites or not and what position he's playing them in, none of us ever agree on that entirely, we just need to get a couple of home wins, however that happens.

There's been plenty of games at home this season where I haven't thought we were bad, tonight included, but it's past the point where I'm inclined to give any credit for it.

Need at least a point at the weekend and any result other than beating Burnley on Tuesday is unacceptable.

Isn’t this the problem with modern football though. People have zero patience.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

We don’t look like we’re progressing. We’re going backwards from where we were in the first half of the season.

Which is why he’s probably gone at the end of the season

He’ll leave us mid table with something to build on, and the journey continues

What you have written there could be applied to the last three decades.

What might help him do that is to play our best players in their best positions and make his compromises elsewhere. He trades balance off for something that clearly isn’t working and it will stunt the development of our younger talent.

This would be an easier sell if it wasn’t exactly what people have been saying for the last 30 years. Of course I’ll be happy if that’s what happens, I’m just not sure what the basis for believing in it is.

It’s never been like it is now, because we have the stadium

When has a mediocre manager ever really got anyone to the destination. Seems to be a given that Moyes Will but I doubt it and the simple fact is if you’re poor in the transfer market you’re not going to improve the overall situation in the medium term because you’re squandering resources. I’ll also fundamentally disagree with you about how you get there isn’t important it absolutely 100% is. Football is after all entertainment, if you’re not winning anything then rest assured people will put up with it more if you’re playing some decent footy.

I've had over 3 decades of patience, don't talk to me about 'kin patience.

Wishful thinking is the basis!

Another masterclass in making good players ineffective through perverse selections and formations, and through archaic tactics and coaching. Book your holidays for August and September please Davey.

What is the plan mate?

Not to get relegated this season. TFG haven't been seen this season much as that really is the goal.
Invest in youth and some 1st teamers in the three summer windows to 27/28.
Have a squad in 27/28 to compete in the top 6 under a new coach.

The players we have signed have bought into the plan. Some players who turned us down in the summer wouldn't buy into it.
