2025/26 David Moyes

[dannyboy]

What does this mean? Why is Moyes the man to do it?

Because my experience of having Moyes as manager is that he can build a team that gets European football. Personally I think stability with a manager who has done a decent job builds stability and progress within a club. Those that change every 18 months tend not to do well.

My idea of progression is we went from being in a relegation battle to challenging for Europe.

Playing the young players doesn't automatically win you in any more points. It doesn't really mean anything at all. All that matters are results in the here and now and Moyes has done alright.

It sets the club up for the future.

They get experience and learn the game.

Moyes is a negative and pragmatic manager, like Roy Hodgson.

Imagine if Palace said " He is alright, let's keep him "

I accepted a long time ago that Moyes would be here next season. I also expect early cup exits and mid-table finishes. I also expect to stay away from relegation. I also expect an ever older squad and the same 13 to 14 players playing 99% of our games. Just because I know that is going to happen doesn't mean I need to be happy about it. It's just so joyless.

Moyes is a european cup winner

I'm just grateful that Sunderland are on the beach and on a massive slide.

We've had very few injuries compared to a lot of teams.

We're without our best CB and Midfielder.

 

[Clarky cat]

Can't keep conceding 2+ goals every game. Have a word and if it still keeps happening then the personnel (defenders) needs changing.

Maybe an idea to put your best available CB at CB? The same fella who we haven’t lost a game with when he’s played there this season. Just an idea instead of having 2 shipping containers stood next to each other

 

[Efctrueblue]

Needs to give some of the younger fringe players games these last two and start planning for next season. George, Dibling, Alcaraz, Aznou etc. Team looks tired due to the lack of rotation all season and lacking some energy now

 

[matty1878]

They have all failed. Every one of them. Our recruitment of managers has probably been our biggest problem in that time period. In thirty years the only managers that we have recruited with any track record of success were Ancelotti, who binned us of as soon as a big team came calling, and, I can't believe I'm saying his name, Rafael Benitez, who was already washed up and could never be a success here because of his baggage. Johnson, Kenwright, Moshiri and, dare I say it, the Friedkins have all lacked the vision and the courage to aspire for glory at this club.

I'm sure someone will be along to place thirty years of failure at the door of the 200 odd players we've had in that time but poor management in both the boardroom and the changing room is what has reduced this club to irrelevance. If we don't change now, then when?

200 odd i do get your point mate

Ok but
Leeds away
Arsenal home
West Ham away
City home

4 absolutely shocking decisions, 3 of which the league have admitted they got wrong.

Can’t argue we’ve been dry bummed by the corrupt PL on those occasions which has cost us points.

The recruitment is the main concern if Moyes stays. Last summer was a complete mess and can't happen again. We just can't be spending big money on players who aren't going to be used. Whatever process we used last summer was a total failure and can't be used again.

If the manager doesn't fancy a player or won't use them, then he can't give final sign off. The manager equally cannot be demanding that high fees are spent on older players with little or no resale value.

Equally, we can't have the recruitment team suggesting we spend big money on players who don't improve the team. They need to identify attacking players far better and stop targeting players with no goal threat.

We should be far further forward than we are after last summers spending.

Why do you think this is going to improve? Any serious analysis of the players he signed in his £500 million plus spend at West Ham will show big money misses and a low hit record.

I think if you spoke to Palace fans you'd realise where we are with Moyes now is very different to where they were with Hodgson.

Give anything to win that personally.

This is the new Everton mantra, it is no longer nil satis nisi optimium, it is be careful what you wish for. Accept mediocrity or it might be worse. What a way to live. No thanks.

I don’t think it’s accepting mediocrity, just some that people can accept the reality of the position the clubs been in and is still slowly coming out of it.

We’ve been ran like a joke for 3 decades and some people understand that, majority don’t. It’s going to take a lot more than 3 transfer windows to change that squad. It’s also going to take a lot to change the winning mentality at the club, not just the club, with a section of fans too. Our fans expect an overnight success cos we was once a successful club.

With the new owners, hopefully they put that in place, can’t see it though.
