2025/26 David Moyes

[Moomin]

Come on.

You can only play what’s in front of you. If we were in it and won it we would love it.

Do we agree with it, maybe not, but it is what it is.

Already answered this.

Got a feeling we'll punt him, then re-hire him like West Ham did.

SCENES!

I seriously worry for you if you think any of that constitutes ‘freaking out’ or bursting a blood vessel. Taking about Moyes in the Moyes thread - who’d have thought!

My apologies for using any potentially hurty words and exclamation marks.

It's not 'hurty words or exclamation marks' are the problem, it's the quality of the conversation.

Fwiw, an extreme is taking a position that doesn't allow for anything else. No grey areas, no nuance. It fits right in with your position which is fine. I don't mind that you think this at all, but own it instead of getting all tetchy if its pointed out.

Let's agree to disagree and be done with this nonsense

Spot on that.

Well said but the problem goes beyond just money with Moyes...give him more money to spend. Ok. Who's lining up to come play for him? ( Pretty sure no-one under the age of 22) Who does he want ( overpay for established EPL players starting their decline) Whats his ambition? Keep it steady, hang around mid table and maybe sneak a European spot one day, while playing turgid, defend first football? Is that ALL we can ever aspire to???

I’m going to be completely honest, I still have no idea what this ‘extreme position’ is (it’s literally just Moyes out) and think you’re now just fighting ghosts

I don’t know what we aspire to be honest, I could guess I suppose. The chatter about projects and Rome wasn’t built in a day, it’s just the same hollow stuff from years before.

Anything genuinely positive is just a bonus these days tbh mate, like a win tonight. I will always want them to do well but that’s about it, the same repetitive behaviour patterns just get too tedious to get overly invested.

I do worry about our attraction to younger players under him. If potential signings took one look at the way he's underused youth players lately they'd swerve. Any agent worth their salt would know this too

Very true.

Mcneil dropped but its for Rohl and not George or Dibling?

I've wanted to see rohl get more game time but just play wingers on the wing.

Obsessed with physicality.

 

[JLW]

Have you someone in mind we could get to take over?
If we could get Iraola I wouldn't say no mind

He would be my number one choice.
Fabregas also
Any of them would excite me for next season
Moyes never does and never will

Imagine watching us play the way Bournemouth do every week with better quality players instead of what we are about to see.

 

[JLW]

Weve used the least number of subs this season more than any other team... Dithering Dave


The lowest in the league for impact from the subs (Because they are too late)

Just a 20th century manager trying to play against 21st century teams

I'd love it tbh

All the talk was he was going to Bilbao, his home club but they hired someone recently and Bou have the replacement already lined up too.
He might end up at Chelsea though as their lad is clearly interim.
I doubt TFG have sounded him out either, I just don't think they see any reason to switch it up

They've probably never heard of him

Im afraid you could be right but we should be sounding him out, i mean it all depends what our new owners want, success and profit or just profit.
BTW not saying a new manager gives us that but i believe we will have a better chance

For me with Moyes in charge i dont think it matters too much who we sign we will always get the same type of inconsistent performances.
