2025/26 David Moyes

[Dwight K Schrute]

Good post.

It's very self serving by Moyes considering how little he's used the players we bought last year.

Moyes/CEO didn't expect the ground to empty out like it did last week

They've been very pleased with themselves until they saw that.

It was a real wake up call about how 'happily dissatisfied' the fans are.

This won't be Moyes speak for backing him financially as such. This will be Moyes speak for backing him for his kind of signing. By all accounts the club seemed happy to get him Soucek, but not at West Ham's valuation.

It will mean, back me by letting me buy the dross I want and do not invest in young talent.

It was quite a telling statement the emptying of the stadium and maybe just maybe a wake-up call to the ownership and them below

It a bit rich of Moyes gave the two cup ties away without a fight and literally crapped himself since the Chelsea game ,and says Everton shouldn't be mentioned in a relegation battle but mentions it every press conference that at least we are not in a relegation battle

No one is better at lowering expectations and telling (and convincing) everyone that he has exceeded them. That's where the whole knife to a gunfight thing came from. And why the captain of Everton football club was coming out telling us how much Moyes works miracles and exceeds expectations by getting our giant of a football club to the heady heights of 7th.

It is poison. An horrendous narrative that has turned us into the smalltime club we are. But, hey, as long as we have 'stability'.

BK turned him from an ambitious young up and coming manager into a boring, lets just try not to get beaten, always falling short of achieving something type of manager. I can see if we were to go down the line of appointing some of the players that have talked up how great a manager he has been to succeed him in the future we`ll only end up with more mediocrity, or worse.

Yeah I agree.

He'll be telling everyone Europe would've been nailed on with more PL experience.

Just look at Bournemouth, no way they get Europe without the years of PL experience in their side.

These new owners and their placemen will have been told that Moyes knows the club and Seamus - the ultimate BK/Moyes man - is adored. What they will have seen will have rocked that blindly-accepted consensus. If the stadium can empty for the paramout totem of plucky underdogism, then previous certainties have been shaken...

I still feel TFG might have told Moyes he's going. It's not just the players that have dropped off the last few weeks. So has Moyes. Like he's been told and he knows he's going.

Who knows. Another year of Moyes might have been welcomed after Dyche and after some difficult years, Moyes's return last year was great for us, lifted the standards and improved perception. It is Moyes, he's safe. Gives us stability.

Just wonder if Moyes's time is done as a manager. Another year is another year of standing still as a club.

Would love this to be true.

If you have to picture a dour, pessimestic person in your life would it be DM? I may be lucky but just watching him in his press conferences my bio rhythms take a beating.
I would overpay Iriola to come amongst other things to provide attacking footie and to save Dibling from Corporal Fraser.

Why would they let the CEO release those comments last week?

I'm not sure they've said he's done but possibly the contract extension is on hold and the budget has been limited accordingly. Frees and loans only, on reasonable contracts.

Tomorrow could be critical to Moyes future. Do as expected and field the usual 11 and then get turned over, it could be terminal.

The brass neck on this n**head.

He barely played half of the players who were bought for him this summer. Throwing it on this ownership as well when for 11 years he protected Kenwright who had us mortgaged up to the hilt and went window after window not spending a bean. Someone needs to go for him with all of these facts (I sound like FSW lol) in front of cameras. He'd be left totally exposed.

Its very common for managers to get the 'vote of confidence' just a couple of weeks before being fired, thats what im holding onto anyway.

I would be surprised if they did make a change . I hope they don’t base a decision on whatever happens tomorrow, that would be silly. If they are going to change things it should be with a long term view and who is willing to be the replacement.

I have questions about who the club listen to when it comes to fan representation as well, do these individuals tell them no wrong and it plays a small part in as to why we come across as small time in our messaging/communication.

I’m not sure what you wanted Moyes to do in that FA Cup game? The size and quality of the squad really let him down as we were down to the barest of bones.

We had 2 strikers on at the end, we were trying to win it, but massively lacked the quality.
