2025/26 David Moyes

[hallamblue]

The conversation around Moyes is ridiculous on all sides. You can question the home form, while appreciating the away form. You can look at the points dropped and say he should have done better, while appreciating the overhaul from the team we were just over 12 months ago. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Moyes will get another 12 months but I don’t expect his contract to be renewed.

The club needs a bit of stability while we rebuild. The evidence available to us shows it’s more likely to go wrong then go well if we twist now.

The frustrating thing is if he would just take a step back and look at the mistakes he's making he could progress the team at home and be the guy to get us up the league. Just play Patterson at right back at home,put Armstrong in the middle with Garner and Dewsbury Hall and O'Brien and Branthwaite at centre half so you can push further up the pitch. It's not rocket science.

Us scoring from a normal corner yesterday, palace scoring from a normal corner against United now. Moyesy was on CRACK on monday

Think palace watched us and thought, I know let’s not put it straight into the keepers hands

Not much stability having next season with a manager with just a year left on his contract

What if the next head coach is on the bench next to him.
My choice would be for Baines to take over.

Moyes points total is good to very good. The home form is bad & the football style isn’t entertaining.

The unknown issue with Moyes is how TFG view

* The home form & entertainment on the ability to attract sponsors & monetising the stadium

* the lack of development of the £100m invested in players at the beginning of the season & it’s impact on the ability to attract further young talent, especially if there is the rumoured £200m available this summer.

You are right about the " unknown"...we know very little about TFG. At this point, Everton policies and decisions could be being made by an agentic AI model ( only half joking).

DM finished one season just above the bottom 4 - Gregg BK partner in Blue Holdings wanted rid as we were moving to The Kings Dock which fell through - HK & CH won us a lot of silverware - DM like Gordon Lee won us nothing ....

DM has been sacked by 3 other clubs - a win is a win but if you think 34 % possession is entertaining football look at our home form - its not the new stadia its DMs team selections & his methods sadly -

Yes he has a limited squad , but he knew back in June we needed better full backs ....

Didn't HK also take us to the brink and get sacked several times and prior to success bored us with 0-0s before it turned. We could have +50% possession like Spurs & Brighton though and it'd make people happy.

The battle lines have been drawn, no quarter will be given.

Although Dave may be absent, as he could be helping out with his voluntary counselling position on RAWK.

Nono, Dave is doing a subtle shift in his stance

Okay, he is forgetting completely the subtle part, but still..

Safe well before Easter. Aiming for Europe.

Looking at the table we were probably safe before Xmas.

Spurs could be in trouble, like.

Link us up with all asking for a life long contract when you have time please. TIA

You're telling me @Eggs wouldn't advocate for a life long contract? obviously I was being facetious to a certain degree but I did see someone pushing for a 5 year deal

 

[Bluepablo]

Obviously we can't predict the future but if he continues to improve us as much in his 2nd year as he has done in the 1st then he'd be very unlucky to be out of a job.

He’s gone backwards v last season

Moyes stats

Last season 19 games 31 points ppg 1.63
This season 28 games 40 points ppg 1.43

Make a point then without using hyperbole. As has been pointed out why do people need to go to extremes to try make their opinion worth more .

Think our owners will think a bit more ambitiously than that

Liverpool did alright appointing from within. Nowadays Paisley would be seen as an “unambitious” appointment.

You make Premier League management sound so easy!
