As moyes is recognized more at doing a good job at Everton by like manager of the month wins or nominations, his overall control of the club will expand. Getting a new contract would further enhance that. We have all seen Moyes - he is a bit of a control freak (press conferences anyone??) so the longer he is here the more of the overall club gets controlled by him. As someone who has had a long career in business, not everyone is good at everything. So the more Moyes controls, the more he will have to either be out of his wheelhouse or ismply screw up (see recruitment at WHam). On his merits he deserved us to renew his contract for 2 years this summer. He is also reaching an age where things may start to slip and the steel trap of a mind becomes a good gumming from one of Wayne's granny friends.

Cheeky hobnob to go with your new contract David?View attachment 348066
I’m fascinated and terrified in equal measure, as to how he will take this news
@JobForTheMoyes
Rumours are that it's a 3 year deal, with a year left on his current form will him to 2030I’m absolutely fine with another season of Moyes if the extension is only for one more year at most. That’s fair enough. I just think there’ll come a point where, as a fanbase, we’ll want to move on, and personally I’d rather he left on a high at the end of next season after helping rebuild the club to where it belongs. He could still prove me wrong and take us a step beyond that by getting us into the Champions League, and if he does, then obviously he shouldn’t be going anywhere.
The biggest question mark for me is how he’ll work with a recruitment team. Absolutely no evidence he works well with that setup, failed miserably on the transfer front at West Ham. The last thing we want is history repeating itself or, even worse, a repeat of Moyes’ West Ham, and end up with a squad full of overpaid

I am hearing whispers of 5 and a year extension
I will be shocked if that happens
Considering there's 0 chance he lasts 5 years, so would I.

I guess we can all now say "Thank you for doing such a wonderful job and earning a new contract"
Surely, everyone will be happy to see us rewarding a successful manager with a contract extension.
Me too! I just think a winning mentality is a big part of it, and that's what a trophy gets you. And once the club starts to be seen as winners, that attitude seeps into everything and becomes self-fulfilling
Apparently TFG's secret plan to sort the Roma / Europe situation is they are going to put the entire club into Moyes' name and have him run absolutely everything for the duration of his new 8 year contract. The current summer plan is to give the entire transfer budget to Tomas Soucek as a signing on fee.

If we wanna end up with a squad suited to Moyes and Moyes only - give him control over signings
If we wanna actually progress allow the recruitment team to sign players that fit with the long term vision of the club - make sure Moyes is 100% onboard before giving him a new contract.
West Ham where trying to move toward a modern recruitment structure, while Moyes still wanted significant control and alignment with what he trusted - we cannot fall into this trap cos it's exactly what messed us up under Moshiri albeit it was interference from the owners that was the problem and less the manager at the time.
