2025/26 David Moyes

[MACCA75]

Ok so nothing to do with the 500mil
He spent

‘He’ clearly didn’t choose all of the players at West Ham, just like he clearly hasn’t chosen all the players here. They still spent £140 million after he left, so they obviously weren’t bankrupt.

I’m sure Angus Kinnear said Moyes had final say on all transfers in his recent interview.

Very interesting if true.

Vaughan was a talent, but had a lot of injuries. Not sure Moyes devolved him,
And the same with Anichebe who was in and around the squad for years, didn’t score a lot of goals ans
Left for west brom, which is a backward step. Both were good young squad players, none became regular starters

Anichibe was playing really well until the Nolan tackle. Vaughan severed an artery in his ankle and was never the same player. Not a big fan of Moyes but he did develop them as part of a decent side at the time.

Moyes final say works like this

We can get Barry or Vardy who do you want?
Barry then
Deal

Basically he has say on profile but he cant get what he might want like an experienced CF worth 60 million he gets what the board and player is willing to agree on

So theres always equal culpability. Moyes has veto of this guy or this guy within our psr, squad needs, hammond and kinnear are willing to sanction.

So its never simple.

Very important clarification

Very interesting if true.

It’s on here from 7 minutes onwards when he’s talking about the new recruitment team and approach he’s put in I believe. I haven’t gone through it again but I’m sure he said that (about Moyes having final say) at some point and also distanced himself from giving his player opinion in the recruitment process because he didn’t have the expertise necessary.

Imagine

Alcaraz can't shoot I'd have N'diaye up front rather than him.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Imagine

We'd concede about 4 on the counter attack

 

[Clarky cat]

We'd concede about 4 on the counter attack

Expound this theory please

 

[Clarky cat]

Imagine

Could try that in a league cup game…

Alcaraz can't shoot I'd have N'diaye up front rather than him.

Yes he can
What he can't do is fight against strong CBs

 

[Swartzy]

As long as he doesn't bring Tim in to replace KDH..

 

[windymiller]

As long as he doesn't bring Tim in to replace KDH..

If Rohl isn't fit that is exactly what will happen.

 

[Swartzy]

If Rohl isn't fit that is exactly what will happen.

You know it

From what I watched, which was him explaining the in house appointments and how he see's us moving forward along certain lines, I really liked what I heard from him and how he comes across. He seems a down to earth, level headed bloke with a good idea of how we should be moving forward in the game..

One thing I also get the feeling from it (although not implied in what he's saying) is that those forward thinking plans could end up being the crack that breaks Moyes's back..

Looking more into the Data and Analytics, an area that Moyes won't happily abide with, will be where the heads start butting..

Maybe some of these things are already playing out in front of us, thinking back to that presser and Moyes demeanor in it. Yes he had the final say on players, but was it just a final say out of a pool of players put to him rather then a say on players he actually wants on board himself..

Hope I'm wrong, but moyes is old school and will he really buck his trend to align himself with the modern structure of transfers..

I didnt see it all, but maybe it tells you more then its set out to..

Again I hope I'm wrong, but going forward Moyes is gonna have to give an inch on his football ideology...
