Am I alone in being appalled by this? Coming off a disastrous end to the season and 2 poor transfer windows, rather than focussing on recruitment plans for the summer he's off on a paid jolly? Why do we pay him £6m a year for him to take a second job, it's taking the proverbial.

In theory with ‘the committee’ doing the bulk of the heavy lifting on finding players to presumably fit his preferred profiles, he should have plenty of time to run his rule over them and give them the thumbs up or down……
Be interesting to hear his take on any transfer business after getting his knickers in twist last summer, esp if most of the kitty is spent on players he wont play again……
These sort of 2nd jobs feel like he’s readying himself to put some distance between him and any duds or transfer delays……
My opinion of him is heavily jaded mind…

Fair enough, but a lot of Sunderland fans also recognise the mess the club was in at the time. They were cutting costs so much they wouldn’t let the players use the cryogenic chamber to save a few quid.

You speak to any Sunderland fan and they'll tell you that Moyes was nothing but a disgrace in his time here, I'm afraid to say. The cutting costs and the chamber story etc. came the season after (when we were relegated). That season he came in we'd actually been on the up from the end of the previous year, we'd had a fantastic end to the year under Big Sam and had a real togetherness going into the summer. When he joined I was at the pre-season friendly against Rotherham and there was nowt but delight to get him.

Moyes came in and immediately bought a few absolute duds (they were apparently his own choices) including a terible player for a record transfer for us (the record stood until last summer!) for about 30m all up. Watford, Burnley and Hull all spent less fwiw. He demanded we keep hold of a player who you were in for as well, when that moeny could in theory of been reeinvested I supporse - and was an outlay in itself to keep him (Kone). And crucially he opted not to sign a couple of the loan players who had done the business for us the season before. We certainly didn't have tons of funds - but it wasn't as dire as seasons after the PL.

More importantly though he quickly fell out with the core of players we had apparently, and also admitted on TV after our first home game of the season we'd be in relegation scrap/ be in trouble - which, while truthful, sucked the life out of the fanbase.

I have said this before on here and someone got quite annoyed at me saying I was twisting facts. To be clear think we were on the decline and maybe nobody could of kept us up. And I certianly think he was still quite burnt out from Man U etc. and clearly didn't want to be at the club. He never really took to us, and didn't even move to the area I think. So prehaps good manager but wrong time/ club, and there's no love lost between our supporters and him.

Your biggest error was going on Reddit for anything at all.

True, it’s one of the only other semi active Everton spaces though.

Didn't he threaten to slap a young female journalist when he was at Sunderland?

Not sure about following, he led it. Was never off the thing.

He's joined them for previous tournaments.

It’s full of part-timers who aren’t properly invested in the club, and they love having a go at the actual fans too.

Can guarantee after a defeat the highest up vote will be something related to the fans

Was talking to a couple of blues on Saturday.

What if Moyes uses Dibling and Aznou next season, and they are great ??

Do we blame him for holding them back ?
Praise him for handling them well ?

 

[Curtis]

Im hoping Moyes can just find his true calling like Dyche and just become a pundit as management doesn't seem to be his thing anymore, 21 points in 18 games is embarrassing

No you're not alone.

It's just another crass mistake from Moyes. Yeah Dave, you're opinions on a qualification-based tournament are really relevant given you've just fluffed qualifying for anything.

Arrogant, money grabbing, poorly judged.
