2025/26 David Moyes

[carolinablue232]

But these things happen a lot in football. It’s not like people have the ability to see the future and how someone will adapt.

The problem is Moyes goes low risk low variance all the time. He puts a self inflicted cap on himself. If a club like Everton is ever going to make a move to the top, risk will be involved. Moyes clearly can’t bring himself to take chances either with transfers or otherwise.

Going with McNeil rather than George for weeks sums him up so well. If he passed on Alvarez because he had Antonio it’s just another version of that again.

He's from another era Moyes. The era is old and past it. We need fresh ideas.

"We had Micky Antonio..."

"We had Michael Keane who I thought was doing very well...and Jake in the full-back position. We didn't need Cafu".

 

[Drico]

Why would you admit that?

This is actually the point.

I am wondering the very same thing. All managers will make mistakes and miss out on players that subsequently go on to huge things. It happens. But you'd sort of only own up to it if you were a serial winner yourself and your mistake can be laughed off thanks to your stellar track record. If Mourinho or Carlo are saying this, you laugh. But Moyes? He thinks he's Alex Ferguson.

"Micky Antonio"

Even that gives away the parochialism and the comfort zone he operates in.

So I would like to be the 1st to welcome our coach for the 27/28 season, Kieron Mckenna.

A year too late...

Maybe we can get him at Christmas when we've only got 10 points

Because some ignorant and stupid people on the internet dont seem to be able to use common sense when theyre told something multiple times.

I suggest you contact who you need to contact and tell them its made up.

The fact this is believable says more about how moyes operates than the person who made it up.

If I said "Moyes turned down messi because he was too small before he went to barca" which is a complete fabrication that ive just made up, the majority of people based on moyes actions would be half inclined to believe it, simply because it fits the narrative moyes has created

He is good at getting teams out of the championship might come in handy.

He gets teams out the championship though.

Ignoring that this story isn't made up, you can't make up a story that fits in with the general perception of a manager and then say that says it all about the manager in a critical way. Every manager has a perception which is largely based in reality after all.

I am not sure I understand that logic.

Are you suggesting that just because you hear something multiple times it is correct and you should believe it ?

I think a healthy scepticism about anything you read on the internet shows intelligence and only the stupid, ignorant people believe anything they read, moreso if they believe it just because it is repeated.

That is what transfers are all about, part and parcel with a manager and recruitment teams job.

Not a person in the world that can guarantee a signings progress, but it's your job to have the balls and go for it.
That article whether true or not sums up Moyes.

Im more talking about how the perception of someone due to their previous actions and comments can lead to people believing false narratives

No idea if it is true or not, I was merely messaging a poster who likes to call people "liars" because he doesn't appear to have put a penny in the 'common sense' jar.

Hence the bizarreness of my post.

There is no logic to it. Its mimicking.
