It was an Incredible dive down, just lucky the right man was there to get (us) back to the surface..

Was almost as long as the wait for his press conferences to start.

I think Moyes has done a great job since he came back but the past tells us he has a limit.

I'm thinking about the longer term in saying that I think this summer, or if he gets Europe, then the end of his contract next summer is a good time to shake hands and move on to something new.

I'd like to see a more attacking, quicker brand of football which hopefully would attract players. I also definitely want to see better use of young players.

I find some of the debate on here crazy, from both sides. It feels like there's no room for nuance. There's nothing wrong with saying he's done well but also we need to try and take the next step or build on it with someone new.

As for who, it's always going to be a gamble but for a start there's Iraiola who might be attracted to a team with bigger stadium, budget etc. But it's not my job to name names, I'd expect an ownership that has multiple clubs to have done background searching for the last few months and have a shortlist of people that I've probably not even heard of.

“the past”

No, but ongoing maintenance and improvement goes a long way to making sure it doesnt break

ye and on going maintenance will be summer window

Unfortunately, or fortunately, dependent upon your point of view, I don’t think you can take the decision on behalf of TFG.

a contract extension tells me they have

 

[Bluepablo]

And you think that we would achieve better results with that system?

We won’t know if we don’t try anything different, even in the last 15 mins of games.

Apologies, I didn’t know Moyes had signed an extension already.

IRAOLA has just told Bournemouth he wont be renewing contract....


Keep it calm lads

I’m a big fan of Iraola as a manager. Moyesy’s done a great job, but if he was to step back in a year’s time and Iraola was still at Bournemouth, he’d be the perfect replacement imo. He actually plays in a way that would be great for us - no fannying around, brave, exciting and often direct.

You may be in luck, just been announced that he's leaving Bournemouth at the end of the season

 

[DanB90]

But what if we lose the next 6 !
My arse !

Then we’d have still had a better season than most had us down for.

The Iraola's of this world dont come up very often. He would be the perfect fit for us to take on the work here after Moyes has stabilised the club for the last 18 months.

That sort of seamless transfer of manager to one that takes a club to a higher level takes place at ambitious clubs.

We have the opportunity to do that. A fleeting chance of that process and we should take it.

He wants to go back to Spain

 

[Neiler]

Its going to be some market for managers in the summer - Glasner, Iraola and Sean Dyche all available.

Looks like he's going back to Bilbao.

Family reasons a factor.

True. But what else do we really have to go on than the past?

Just judging from what we've seen so far since he's been back, is his use of young players any different or style of play noticeably changed? I wouldn't particularly say so, and I think he's probably fairly lucky to have inherited Ndiaye as I don't really see him as being someone Moyes would have bought, although that could be me being unfair.

He bought Kevin Mirallas, a very Ndiaye type player....

Other than Barkley, which young players did he not play when he was here?

He gave premier league careers to Rodwell, Gosling, and Anichebe and going before that you can add Osman and Hibbert.

Some of these tired lines don't even pass the lightest scrutiny.
