2025/26 David Moyes

His post match comments are a joke.

He banged on and on about Europe all season and then when it came to it he had no idea how to win football matches. Didn’t use his squad, left players on the bench consistently and ran his favourites into the ground.

Saying he doesn’t know why Everton fans are frustrated is obnoxious. He knows deep down the position we were in and to end up in 13th is not good enough. At least have the balls to come out and say it!

Fans are tired of it already.
 
13th isn't good enough. No one would have signed up for that in August. Moyes himself regularly talked up Europe - conveniently until the point he knew we wouldn't make it - then tried to downplay expectations and move the goal posts.

None of our competitors would retain a manager in this scenario. None of our competitors would try to convince fans they should be happy just to survive either.

This last month has shown so clearly why we have been a joke club for as long as I have supported Everton. A constant obsession with mediocrity and no interest in pushing forward.

The club infuriates me. There's no excuse to consistently be this bad and there's no excuse to have this little aspirations.

Especially since our run in wasn’t that hard and probably the best 45 mins we played was against the hardest opponents in City.

We got zero points out of 9 vs relegation flirting Spurs and West Ham plus Palace who we are usually a bogey team for.

It's not even the 13th position really, if it was a different manager we would probably be a bit more relaxed about it.

Trouble is with Moyes, we know who and what he is, what he is good and bad at. And most people don't want that any more.

If he stays at least he can take the whole summer starting now to identify some targets...

What do you mean he is doing punditry at the World Cup?
 
Somehow (with oddball disciples) he has managed to portray himself since his return as the only option for this club, the return of the king, expecting everyone's gratitude, so much so that he shouldn't be questioned or held to account. Well this season has been a massive disillusionment, but wasn't the writing on the wall in the first game at Leeds, where he put his own petulant ego before the club. I know a new stadium has often been a bit of a millstone for a club, but in our case I fully believe he has completely f****d up this historic chapter in our history.
In the end, results speak for themselves and he has obviously failed to progress in both the league and the cups - before you even begin to ponder the quality of the football. The end, surely?
 
Bought - sorry, had the final say on - a pile of players he won't play.

"I need a bigger squad!"

Friedkins being played for imbeciles. Fans for mugs.
Coasting by on not being quite as crap as Dyche, and relying on the PTSD of fans making them terrified to call for change on the off-chance we appoint someone crap.

Fact is we ended the season in relegation form, with the manager having a couple of very blatant digs at the players. We don’t have the resources to make the number of changes needed if he wants a squad of 25 he trusts to use in its entirety, so getting rid feels like a no-brainer. Of course, it doesn’t seem like we will so I’m going on record now as saying I have genuine relegation fears for next year.
