2025/26 David Moyes

[bicycleheader]

If anyone thinks we're to big for any one of those trophies, than I don't know what Gutter they have been hiding in for the last 30yrs

Well the topic was started by somebody who appears to be posting from up Moyes backside

Great to see everyone is out and back on form tonight.

Are we now to big for certain Trophy's ?

It's the opposite. It's an unnecessary distraction and the rewards are scant.

This thread is exhausting.

The lemon has that effect on people
Just laugh and realise 99.99% of what he posts is antagonistic bull crap

That's pretty funny.

Martinez has won an international trophy and beat Man City in an FA Cup with the Dog & Duck.

Martinez got Wigan relegated because he wouldn't adapt his tactics to be harder to beat. I remember one match in their run in and the pundit was giving him the worst criticism imaginable for how naive he was tactically. We saw the evidence ourselves when his coaching influence came more to the fore

Zenith Data Systems!

That's the one! Was there a Simod Cup or did I imagine it?

Come on now mate, even you don't believe that.

The league cup also gives you Europe
The Conference league also gives you the Europa league

Europe gives you Money
Bigger Appeal
Better Players


AND A BLOODY TROPHY !!!!!!

The way that some people weigh in for Moyes when there's the slightest criticism of him is a bit cultish, tbh.

You can see how insecure they are around his credibility and reputation among Evertonians; they cant allow any deviation from the party line that he's a manager 'we're lucky to have'.

That's incredible to me. I can sort of understand that level of devotion for a really successful manager who's won a lot but gone off the boil, or even a maverick manager who forged their own way against the grain and garnered support for sticking to their footballing principles but weren't that competitively successful.

Moyes though is neither of those two things.

Greatest day of their existence that was for Wigan when they won the cup. If you support them you take that moment and accept that when Whelan decided to decimate the squad relegation was inevitable.

They'll always have the cup memory.

You could change Moyes for Martinez in that first sentence and it would aptly apply to you Dave

I'll always have a soft spot for the silly f'er...

I'm sure it was the Simod.

Don’t remember the Simod cup myself mate - but I guess the competition prob had different sponsors - but one of my earliest Everton memories was that game and I was very very young and it being the Zenith Data Systems - thought it was huge at the time and was gutted!

It's a great memory for sure Davek. A managers work is determined more by consistency of league finishes though. Look at Ange for example. A truly shocker of a coach because like Martinez he doesn't work on the fundamentals of the game so his sides whilst good to watch and streaky enough to win a cup will always be too easy to beat on too regular an occasion. You don't progress as a club with these kind of managers

I think the bit about a manager sticking to their footballing principles applies to me. I admire that about managers.
