2025/26 David Moyes













I can’t be the only one whose timeline it’s flooded with these type of posts. It got bad under Lampard, Benitez and Dyche, but the last 24 hours have been on another level where the current manager is concerned.

Anyone defending him at this point is clearly gaslighting.

Absolutely soul destroying to see how the standards have dropped for this once proud football club.

We had two stretches in the season where we underperformed really badly and barely picked up any points. The season has finished with a whimper. It’s not hyperbolic to say there is a decent chance we end up in a relegation battle next year based on how this one ended.

The next few months are going to be career-defining for Moyes as he tries to show that his club have serious ambitions to become a top side.” So how exactly is he going to be able to do this from his talkSport commentator perch in US/Mexico? This club’s ownership is a joke.
 
Patting himself on the back for “stability” whilst being one of the best paid managers in the league. Loser mentality, just happy to make up the numbers - he’s coming out with some even better pearlers thank bloody dyche did.

I’ve said so many times before, I wouldn’t give the fella a pound to spend on transfer this window, after the shambles of the way he’s handled the new signings.

Stability means stagnation under Davey dogs of bore Moyes.
 
I have been more tolerant of Moyes than others. Knowing he is cautious by default and with a glass ceiling, I suspected he'd bring some stability, which...

... to be fair to him, he has. I'm also not oblivious to the financial constraints that the club is still under. Yet, the last few weeks have been tough to watch.

Now, that abomination of a press conference, has made me take a step back because of his inability to appreciate why the fans may be disgruntled.

We were pushing on Europe, and while it wasn't a certainty, to pretty much give up on it (that's my take) and go out with a whimper isn't good enough.

He has continued to choose players out of form and stick them, and others, in unnatural positions; he has continued to play the same style regardless.

I still believe that a period of stability isn't a bad thing, but it has to be with the caveat that we're developing, improving and setting high expectations.

Are we? I'm not so sure any more. The last few games have been atrocious, and due to that we've missed out on a potential £10-£15m in prize money.

Knowing we need to build and, with by his own admission, knowing that without Europe it's harder to attract players, this could set us back a fair bit.

An actually well ran club should be able to get players in with their manager off on his holidays but with us I just do not envision us doing business prior to the World Cup
 
He will have told TFG that he knows Everton and Evertonians better than anyone (except our dear dear departed no1 fan chairman ofc bless his soul) alive and they will have looked at his time with the club, read some sychophantic puff pieces and believed him. They will believe that he is a better fit for Everton and Evertonian values than Ancelotti.
This is our reality once again. The new stadium was a nice little dream we thought would induce some positive change
They did the same at Roma at first with Ranrieri. But got rid of him for the best available manager and are now in the champions league. If they don’t do the same here it is very telling.
 
He has reached a point now where he’s not even trying to fix problems. Just keeps playing the same team that loses every week and throws up his hands like ‘what do you want me to do about it?’ At least Dyche was honest enough to admit when he had run out of ideas.
 
A manager whose first decision was to just play players in their preferred positions. Makes you think.
Square peg, square hole. His inflexibility to play or start Patterson, Aznou, Dibling or George tells you a lot about his methodology.

They may not have been an improvement, but the issue is we don't know, and importantly it's not as if it's replacing in form players.

Haha, that first tweet you shared is me!

I’ve made it…
 
If your the owner, and your getting called out by Moyes for wanting more players, after way he used the squad and making less subs than any other team (Think it was) - Your getting rid. He's has chance to change team, play different ways etc. But wants to always use same players. Not forgetting he is basically not blaming himself for anything while passing the buck
