2025/26 David Moyes

[Marcus Kendall]

Yeah, but the more things change the more they stay the same. The simple principle of having the best football men in charge yielding the best results holds true. Building a strong dynastic culture with a devotion to excellence is the best path.

At places like Barcelona their boot room exists, but it goes beyond just managers etc to a deeper organisational level. In the Premier League clubs take short cuts and just burn money.

For every success story there's failures from appointing from within. It's not like we've got a set playing style and structure for a rookie to fit in seamlessly

 

[Marcus Kendall]

People would have argued in a similar situation that appointing Guardiola was unambitious by Barcelona.

Barcelona have a set structure from the youth to the first team so it's easier for rookie coaches to fit in seamlessly. Also helps having Messi, Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta!

Yeah, so doesn’t that support stability at a managerial level so we can become more professional on and off the field? We literally have one of the most experienced coaches in the game, someone who is a UEFA coaching analyst.

Right so stability is giving the job to Baines because he's a Moyes puppet who doesn't have his own ways of potentially managing our set of players? Or maybe just maybe Baines might manage totally differently. No-one knows and thankfully our owners won't go down that road anyway

If only

Spent my life saying “if only”Everton

By making stuff up.
Always looks good when attempting to debate all right

Making a joke is being disengious now? , next time I'll cite my sources , but being pedantic and policing comments fosters healthy discourse?

We'd be top 4

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I personally think we'd benefit from another year under him.

Whether people in the board room currently agree is another thing.

His relationship with Kinnear is the crux of it all going forward.

All I know is foolish arrogance and over ambition can bring clubs to their knees. Look at ourselves, Spurs and West Ham. Leeds United.

Dave is just being Dave, he's seeding the lawn. Gradually raising the level of belief. Whilst he's pushing out the positive outlook,
He's just covering his bases, we make Europe and we've only accomplished what should have been expected..
We don't, and we've missed an open goal..

Too early to seed your lawn mate

Jokes are meant to be funny.

It's a simple equation, those clubs and us had bad recruitment and poor managerial appointments. Hopefully the Friedkins have more sense

I agree with you here, but I'm not having your comment on policing comments as you did my head in, in the summer transfer thread, jumping on others posts
