2025/26 David Moyes

As said above mate: he's not to be trusted IMO.

Good or bad as a football coach/manager, he's let Evertonians down and criticised them both while he was here in his first period in charge and after he left and was Man United manager.

Some people can forgive and forget. Good luck to them. That's not for me though. I have a long memory where he's concerned and there's no way back for someone who put the knife in and turned it.

I personally have to disagree with you here and also entirely on your views on Moyes, as I’m happy to let water flow under the bridge. None of us are perfect.

I was a massive fan of him first time round and I still back the guy.

Look forward, to Europe hopefully.

Oh but I did back this manager, and I was as big a Moyes fan as anyone in his first 7 or so seasons here.

Then he started to attack fans for opposing Kenwright's failure to find investment and his little side deal with Green and Earl to let them in on a Kirkby stadium investment - just so he could prove what a good little company man he was to his future OT employers, no doubt.


I'll never disguise my repulsion where Moyes is concerned. As well as being a bang average dullard manager he's a man who doesn't have this club's interests at heart.

Too much hate inside you, and for a person you honestly know nothing about.
Still in football, still respected by the football community.

You don't like his management style, fair play!
But your personal attacks, quite disturbing..

An Everton site that turns a blind eye on relentless outspoken(nonsensical) and spamming hatred towards the manager day in day out. Honestly why should we spend time here with pages after pages of such rubbish with no end in sight.

Which gets measurably worse every time we win.

We win > he does his level best to ruin it for everyone.

We lose > he’s made up and is almost jumping for joy, as it means he’s “ right “ and rubs everyone’s nose in it.

If you don't like it, then report it. There is that option available to you.

Personally I read it and move on. Sometimes it raises a smile, sometimes not, but these days I'm far too old to be annoyed by an anonymous angry fan on the internet

I guarantee that 99% of those who posted on this forum back in 2013 felt that way about Moyes and said so at the time.

A man who'd received everything from this club and its supporters and who took that and threw it in our faces, and he was rightly called fit to burn for it.

You cant feel like that and then bury it just because he's been employed here again. It sort of underlines why we've won nothing for years. We have a fanbase who'll accept mediocrity even from a man who shat on us from a great height. No top club's fans accept a man like that back. It's all about having standards and being consistent for me.

He was and remains persona non grata for me and I'll raise a glass the day he slings his hook...again.

Motivation?

Telling fans they shouldn't believe too much that a European position - low hanging fruit for even Forest and Palace in recent seasons - is possible would probably motivate players to clock off because they have zero expectations to meet.

It's ok to set a reasonable target...Moyes did in the summer when he stated there's no reason why European qualification was out of the question. It's just a pity he's gone to his default position of expectation management when it become's a possibility.

I don't see it that way at all.
When the players are doing well, he is reminding them(and us) that it is tough and levels need to be kept up. At the start of the season he wants them to start with a spring in his step.
He is maintaining the fact that Europe is a target though so I'm not sure why he's bothering you now?

Brian Clough used to praise the team and point out what was going well when the team were losing at HT but criticise them if they were winning. He did alright right!?

Moyes knows what he is doing. More than you or I do anyway

Oh come on! The guy was here for over a decade and turns down plenty of offers to leave. There’s a good chance we could have gone under without his careful management keeping us competitive on a poor budget.

People obviously have short memories about the whole context of what he had to deal with over that time.

Well I wasn't one of them. I was happy to see him come here in 2002 and see him settle the club down. He got credit for that.

He didn't get credit though for his antics while he was here protecting Kenwright and he certainly didn't get any credit for telling everyone that he knew what we were like when it came to sales of players when he came looking to get them on the cheap for United.

Can you imagine any former manager of clubs like United, Arsenal, Liverpool welcoming back a manager who'd done that? Not a chance. Of course that's how Moyes has found his way back: fear. Fear of the fans that we'd fall into the Championship in a move into a new stadium. He was hired the first time round for the same reason.

We need to abandon this doom loop and get shut of Moyes for good. We're a club in vastly different waters now and we don't require a manager like Moyes.

Hey Dave, maybe you can clarify for me, why was there fear last season regarding our performances? Was your hero Dyche not delivering? Also Moyes has been key in providing stability earlier in Jan and now, I think with the past a couple of weeks he's earned the right to finish the season with the club.

Turns out Dave was fearing the drop himself.

My only desire is to see Everton safe.

Moyes wont do it and these players need a boost. Southgate would hand us it. Illd hand these players self belief. And boy do they need it.
