2025/26 David Moyes

[JobForTheMoyes]

I am going to violently vomit in the opening week of next season when Iraola has Newcastle playing like world beaters and Moyes is still persisting with O'Brien at right back.

Newcastle are another club that is more attractive at the moment. Why would he chose to come here vs. Newcastle? They won the League Cup and have been playing in the Champions League.

I think that's where he'll go sadly, mate.

And the longer Moyes stays, the more unattractive we will become.

The perfect storm of mediocrity.

Again, an empty phrase with no detail. Arsenal are about to win the league playing essentially the same style of football.

But You're judging Moyes on 3 or 4 seasons 20 years ago! We qualified for Europe 4 times in 11 years!
And you want him to stay because of that?

Benitez was winning CLs at the same time.

We could ask at least though .

The same style of football?

 

[Toffeepot]

That’s just bull. Easier in what sense? You had Leeds going at it big style, Blackburn, Newcastle, etc. it’s just recency bias in action.

Leeds were relegated in '04, Newcastle 3 top half and relegated in 08, Blackburn 3 top half in 00s
We've been outplayed by a lot of teams this season abd they are on the up

We will still be attractive... As me

Think il refuse to watch us because its eye aids most weeks.

Do you watch Arsenal?

FFS it's like we're in league one

What do you mean?

 

[Azza]

He's out if contract, refused a new one and wants to move on. Yes, he's available.

But not to Everton. Because we're ran by a bunch of imbeciles.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Sorry mate.

Going to have to completely fact check this.

Did absolutely fantastic to build the best Everton side he had on a shoestring. Arteta £2m. Pienaar £2.5m. Lescott £5m. Jagielka £4.5m. Howard £5m. Baines £6m.

But that spell aside, he spent significant amounts at United & at West Ham.

19/20: £30m in Jan
20/21: £55m (£10m Net)
21/22: £75m (£72m Net)
22/23: £190m (£170m net)
23/24: £170m (-£25m net loss)
Total spend: £520m, with net £227m

Man Utd:
13/14: £75m (£74m Net)


Sunderland
16/17: £40m (£16m net)

Everton
25/26: £125m (£115m Net)

This myth he works on a budget is utter nonsense. Riding on a former glory.

If you want steady, that's absolutely fine and respect your decision. But he's not a miracle worker for me. Very negative, and and safe, but happy to let narrative run that he never has a budget.

Sunderland is unique as he had little input on transfers. They would sign an inferior player in a purportedly higher cost as they had very low wages and the payment terms were more favorable. Martin Short had pulled the plug and was selling the team.

The other teams are fairer criticism. But West Ham should also be contextualised for fairness. He spent several seasons with a low net spend and then they had their big spend season where they got Paqueta, etc, but the signings were not really that successful overall. At the end of the day though, they build a good squad that achieved high finishes and won a trophy. That’s pretty much as good as they can expect.

How well he did there is underlined by their subsequent underperformance despite actually spending more money.
