2025/26 David Moyes

You want andoni then you have to give him a lot of money to bring his Spanish friends with him to play his tiki taka style

Or you stick with Moyes who only wants old and experienced players who are about to be taken to the glue factory and have developed a fear of the ball that they just hoof it away anytime it gets near them
When did Iraola play ‘tiki taka style’?
He plays a very fluid, direct style…none of that tap it round the back for an hour tripe that some teams favour.
 
They replaced Paul Scholes with Fellaini. They signed Mata in the January in a move of desperation and he didn’t even fit into the team.

Make no bones about it, their squad fell off a cliff and they had a simply awful summer window. Moyes had lined up Toni Kroos for the summer. Whether that would have been enough to make up for their inadequacies is an open question. They certainly were nowhere near challenging Man City regardless.
it was easier to call out their mania for...

saf talking scholes into another 10 months when he had had enough (wanted to retire)
letting pogba go (for £800k was it)
saf then retiring and hand picking moyes
them eventually buying pogba back for a then record £90m quid.

always the facts. cold, hard, truth.

Here's some cold, hard facts.

Man Utd 2012/13
Final position 1st 89 pts

Man Utd 2013/14
Final position 7th 64 pts
When Moyes was sacked
Position 7th 57 points (with four games to go)

I'll tag @JobForTheMoyes too, he loves these sort of stats.

so 7 from 12 to ice the cake?

cacophony of errors.

you overlook two things, phelan opting out and the reprehensible giggs staying on.

cold, hard, unequivocal.

These kinds of lazy stereotypes are what keeps us where we are. Complete untruths perpetrated again and again.

Moyes = stability, gets the club, Everton DNA, blah, blah, blah.

Foreign managers = tippy-tappy football, weak underbelly, style over substance etc.

It's utter crap. If someone who understood football objectively watched us, they would see a fairly aimless team without a plan and would see an organised and direct but exciting team when watching Iraola.

I'm convinced I live in a parallel universe sometime with some of the discourse I hear around the club.
