2025/26 David Moyes

[Moomin]

Catterick in 63-63, 70-71. Moyes in the qualifying round but failed to get through to main competition.

I knew Catterick played in the European Cup.

But he seems adamant that Everton have played in the Champions League, which I don't remember.

I remember us playing against Villarreal in the 3rd Qualifying round as I went to them games.

@davids can't take any criticism of Moyes at all so he takes it out on Dibling. I doubt he even means it, he just doesn't have any other retort. We haven't seen enough of Dibling at Everton to draw any conclusions about him at all but he looked like a quality youngster at Southampton in their year in the PL and every other manager that worked with him is full of praise.

Shows you don't see many of my posts.I have often criticised Moyes. I'm just very wary of who might be his successor. We've employed managers before with stellar CVs .Is there anyone better around today who's available than say Ancelotti or Benítez in terms of major trophies won? Yet they were both duds. Anyway we're about to get Iraola aren't we. Or was he just flavour of last month

Christ I hope so. Someone needs to take Andorra down a peg.

I thought people were joking when they said Scotland are in the World Cup.

Makes sense if Andorra are in it as well.

UEFA actually count playing in European Cup as part of their champions League stats so Everton played in it twice under Catterick. https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/history/clubs/52281--everton/

I think you're missing the point.

Don't,he gets upset.

Like I've said many times before I highly doubt Moyes saw him playing for Southampton and told TFG to go get him whatever the price.

Kinda irrelevant what you think may have happened. The fact is Moyes signed off on his transfer and is accountable for that decision. So as said earlier if your pov is that Dibling is poor signing then it doesn't say much for Moyes's judgement.

Why did you have to ruin it.

Nah I'm not missing the point I know what the argument is.

It's a pointless discussion as you obviously haven't read all of the posts I've made on Moyes and Dibling so I'm not going to carry on repeating myself.

Well then I don't know why you're making the effort.

 

[jceverton]

Why did you have to ruin it.

Because something is either correct or incorrect and it doesn't matter who the poster is.

But it's not incorrect to say that the champions league didn't exist in its current brand before 1992. The format and entry and two distinct things. While the records have been continued, playing in the European Cup vs playing in the Champions League are wildly different.

You're arguing an administrative position vs a sporting one.

Either way, Moyes hasn't managed Everton in it.

I've had a look in the vaults and can't find any criticisms. I've seen the odd equivocation followed by yet another robust defence in the face of very minor criticism from others. It's funny that you are still calling Iraola "flavour of the month" when he's signing for the recently dethroned league champions and a team that will contest the champions league next season. That's another of your classic Moyes defences, everyone else is rubbish, Moyes isn't any good he's just better than everyone else. It's pretty sad.

Yet someone has said we have under Moyes and is now pretending he meant Harry Catterick.

Shall we all go back to the start.

Here is his quote.

And yet he got us into the CL.So was that the only season he was positive?
And then this:
To lose on penalties was so undeserved
Everton faithful
It was desperately cruel on Everton after they made light of the two-goal first-leg deficit with a vibrant performance that threatened to sweep Fiorentina aside, creating chance after chance.


Everton were without Tim Cahill, sidelined by a foot injury, but it did not stop David Moyes's side going on all-out attack against the high-flying Italians.
