2025/26 David Moyes

He's flushed the best part £110M down the toilet as far as I can make out. If you dont play them (Aznou, Dibling and Rohl) or you play them as bit part players (Alcaraz) they're effectively waste.

These players are all available to a team that's faltering but go unused. And if I could take a guess Ild say they aren't being used either for political purposes in internal power struggles or for personal animosity reasons
They are not flushed down the toilet , they are just sitting on the shelf waiting for a competent manager who knows what to do with them and brave enough to play them.
 

Intresting reading this morning, some of the journalist having a bit of ago at his team selection ect, suggest he hasn't got a lot of good will in the bank with them.
Not good for him at this stage of the season
It's up to him get some results or he will be gone soon enough
A lot if fans are getting frustrated with him.
This team has only played well in flashes all season,( after the first two games we havnt done much at all).looks stale and up to now he hasn't shown any inclination to change things around tactics wise or during the game.
In an ideal world he would get a couple of seasons , but he isnt doing himself any favours , he is losing the fans and it looks like the local press can sence it.
I think he will have a small window to change it around,
If we are getting sucked into the bottom places by Xmas,
I think the owners will pull the trigger.
Next few games we need a win or its going to get ugly.
It's like groundhog day with Everton such a draining club,
I watch teams like Bournemouth nowadays and think it must be nice to see a bit of excitement on the pitch instead of plodding along like us.
 
Don't like him, don't want him

But I agree with those saying we shouldn't be sacking mid season again UNLESS we are in real trouble (which we are not, and I doubt we will be) OR the new guys have a proper plan with a manager they have identified that will come and that can take us forward. (I don't trust we will have, so prefer this gets done in the summer and early)


I sort of agree.

However, if this isn't sorted out in the next month or so I'd take the chance on replacing him.

Personally I hope he starts seeing sense and starts playing players that can help him and us get out of a downward spiral.


I'm happy in that circumstance to wait until the summer to get shut of him.

We're not far enough away from real trouble, though, and we haven't actually shown anything this year to earn the kind of confidence everyone seems to have that we will simply pull further away from it.

The games we've won have largely been down to the opposition not finishing their chances, and with the possible exception of Liverpool, we have finished every game on the back foot. There is total and complete inflexibility in tactics, and last night's subs were absolutely infuriating. What message is being sent out to Barry (hooked early yet again when he was far from the only problem), Dibling (sat on the bench while Dwight actual McNeil was sent on to replace an injured dribbler on the RW), and Aznou (not a sniff of first team footy this season despite an obviously struggling LB)? Every one of these players came with the caveat that they aren't the finished article, and rather than coaching or managing them to aid in their development he's either gone for chucking them in and hoping for the best, or leaving them to rot.

Didn't want Moyes in the first place. Bored of his crap already.
 

To step in here.

This will depend on money.

Money for manager wages & new players.

If TFG go after a top manager and make him top 6 salary wise and splash another £150mil (mirroring the amount in the summer) then we should expect a top coach.
I don't see that happening mid-season. Its not like I'm saying that I want Moyes long-term. I just think it more likely that the owners will see the season out and will find a better option in the summer who will match their standards.

He won't do that though Dave because Sgt Major Moyes would have to admit he has made a mistake and we can't have that now can we.
 
moyes has hit his glass ceiling.

unless things deteriorate into a relegation battle, he should be given the season.

in the meantime, i hope that the board are already starting to identify a replacement for next season.

The bigger picture has changed for Moyes: he sort of senses (he's said so) that fans have higher expectations than then he was here last but he's gambling his stock is so high that it'd take a a lot for the club to sack him.

On paper, last night's draw away to a team in decent early form isn't bad. But it's the way we lost our way under m`Oyes again this season and his refusal to use the resources he has that most people see now.

Expectations are massive now and Moyes is taking a hell of a gamble that he wont become a casualty of that.

He hit that 10+ years ago when he spewed us for Man UTD and said so himself, he left us fighting for 6th, now look at the kip of this side. I half feel sorry for him - stability, stability, stability.

I pray he's not here beyond that 2 year contract, that's would be indefensible from the board.

At the moment that looks like to big an ask for him to change.
Genuinely can't see where the next 3 points comes from.

I hope TFG don't linger on this because if it continues past this month and into December we are in a relegation scrap ( again ) and instead of hiring a good progressive manager we would be looking for the next fire fighter off the rank.

Rinse & repeat.
