2025/26 David Moyes

[n01efc]

Can’t see us signing 3 first team starters

That ain’t happening

Exactly, so in Dave’s mind Moyes is gone as we won’t be in the top ten

 

[Moomin]

Did we play Bournemouth last night? I must have missed that.

No, we played Newcastle last night. A team who hadn't won away for over half a year but yet our manager bigged them up.

Another hit to his playlist.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

We're just never going to be very good under Moyes are we?!?

It's his transfer strategy that does it for me though

The thing is I wouldn’t class myself as a Moyes hater. As you say he is better than the previous few incumbents and after dodging relegation for a few years, mid table mediocrity is a step up whilst the owners hopefully do the multi season job of improving the squad. And, at least at the start of his second tenure, he was talking about new beginnings and that the team should be looking ahead to good times.

And before his after match comments, although disappointed with the result, I wouldn’t have been in this thread saying anything about him - the squad was a bit stretched and Pickford had a mare just when we looked to be getting back into the game after a bad start and that knocked the stuffing out of us. It happens, so you move on.

But then, rather than just saying it was bad night and we need to work to improve, he goes on a bizarre praise fest of Newcastle - a team that although a better squad overall had started the game below us and was without an away win in 7 months.

It was totally unnecessary and indicated a pathetic mentality, lots of “lesser” teams beat better ones every week in the premier league, it is one of its major commercial sell points that it can be so unpredictable!

He comments had the affect of a dementor from Harry Potter, just sucking the last drops of any positively out of Monday’s lovely result. And I don’t see what benefit that attitude has for winning our next match.

I’m not going to disagree that his comments, whilst largely true, are counterproductive and seem defeatist.

I have no problem with someone calling out such negativity, I do have problems with people who hide away after a good result and return with advanced hatred after a poor result.

No blue is in doubt that we will get a new manager sooner rather than later, Moyes has this season and next under contract. I’d just like people to express support rather vitriol, mostly seem to be by folk who don’t even go to the match.

Knifes to a gunfight.

Their must be some more of these terms that can be used.

Or atleast have a set limit per page that it can be used..

We need a knew approach and tactical change, on a stagnated, overused 'Term'

ya could swap knife for 'big purple dildo'?!? (hopefully that bloke from sky has given it a rinse since...)

 

[Titus Shambles]

I hope we're talking to Oliver Glasner about what players he wants us to sign when the transfer window opens in the summer, and also talking to clubs about any fee we can get for Beto and Barry for starters.

A very good manager/coach who will be on the radar of far bigger and better clubs than us. I doubt his dream or masterplan is to work wonders at Palace just to swap one "plucky little club who typically finish bottom half" for another when there will surely be an opportunity to sit at the big boys table.

Lucky we've got proper owners now who won't be impressed whilst one of their clubs is top of the league taking the game to everyone they play whilst the other is 14th and has a manager coming out with quotes like that.

Moyes needs to stop thinking he's untouchable and still working under Bill.

Compared to Dycheball last year it's night and day, even in the current state (no adventure, intent, etc. are spot on and very much Moyes).

This is a true transition season and we were apparently relegation fodder last year with much of the same squad - the point you've made is that we're a "midtable club" now, which is progress on its own if nothing else.

The football is better no doubt. But its not night and day, we don’t score first we’re in Trouble, because Moyes is to set in his way and rigid.

Which clubs ??

According to Moyes own metric for displaying passion we failed spectacularly , conceded four goals but zero bust-ups and slaps

Just been listening to Glasner's post match interview: he isn't a happy bunny. Demanding that 'the mistakes' of the Palace board not to bring two more players in during last summer are wiped out by January signings as what he has right now is going to cost them as the season progresses.

Hes deffo looking for another job.

If these owners are serious about moving us onward and upward they need to secure someone like him for next summer. Get him signed up behind the scenes.

Do you think Glasner would come to Everton? Seems to me like he’d bide his time and wait for one of the clubs at the top. Unfortunately these days he’s probably likely to look at Everton as a sideways move.

We are a backwards move at the minute, not sure any manager looks at that team and thinks “I can do something with those”.

The strikers - if you can call them that - mean we are very limited to what we can do, no matter who the manager is.

 

[Titus Shambles]

Which clubs ??

Time will tell for the answer to that question, but given his stock is at it's highest I think it's a fair shout to say a number of clubs at home and abroad in the UCL will be wanting him in the summer. I think he looks tailor-made for Spurs, the RS might have a vacancy, Pep might not want to do another year etc. He wont be short of offers.

Sideways at best. Imagine wanting to work wonders at a bottom-half club only to want to swap it for basically the same job instead of taking a step up.

Right now yes but the club will over the next 3 years have more scope to spend further as the benefits of increased revenue impact on PSR/SCR. Its an incremental process.
