2025/26 David Moyes

[davek]

Don't start backtracking now mate, we just had a good agreement..

What was the agreement?

 

[Efcjake]

They fired a club legend in De Rossi then went to a CL club in Atalanta and took their manager. They will want to see year on year progression at Everton

They didn't. They signed him for free after he left at the end of his contract at Atalanta.

 

[davek]

Why?

Because it's easy to reach it with the quality we have now.

Palace, Bournemouth and Sunderland are there right now...and so should we be.

Being there at any point in the middle of the year isn't the same as finishing there David.

...well Brentford, Bournemouth and Forest finished there last season.

People need to stop making excuses in advance for a manager who should be securing top 10.

If he doesn't at least secure that he should be sacked in the summer.

 

[Daniel Gardner]

Any chance we have of top 10 are massively reliant on injuries. Our 1 st team has massive holes in it, right back, striker the biggest 2. Our squad has holes all over the place. Keep 11 of best 15 or so fit we should defo be looking top 12, middle to big injury list at any point in season I’d say just well away from relegation is enough.

3 years of what?

Splashing out £150mil a summer without a plan?

Slowing down our effective playing style?

I dont even know what "this" is?



Hard to tell with managers who comes in and performs, sometimes even the top ones dont 'click' at clubs.

Moyes has to show the fans that hes got the future mapped out by using the likes of Dibling and making moves in the transfer market that make the summer window make some sense.



What about the summer looked like were planning to sign young players to develop?

A cheap punt on Aznou at £8mil doesnt really say much when we spent £4mil on a poor backup keeper.

£35mil+ on Dibling was the one off sensible u21 signing we made. We needed to sign 3 players of his age/quality at RW, CM and RB and we only got 1 of them.

The rest of the money went on Rohl, Alcaraz, KDH, Travers, Barry, King and Grealish.

A total mishmash of players and a total lack of strategy.




Tricky thing is to narrow down to 3 managers who can build a squad based on youth and a few older heads.

Sometimes managers just dont click at another club. Who would be on your wishlist to take over in the summer?



Because of Moyes saying something or because of Moyes reputation?



Definitely need a top DOF. Cant have Moyes signing players again.

£150mil blown and a lot of work needed over the season to make the majority of the signings look worth it.



You reckon Moyes goes before Armstrong if it went head to head?

Cant see it at all.

Because he knows how Moyes works, not because Moyes has said anything specific.

Those are 3 teams who have all spent more money than we have the past five years.

This thread is insane.

We won our last match, we haven`t played for two weeks, sit comfortably in mid table, the Human Scotch Egg and his team of Scabs snotted our neighbours at the weekend and this seasons GOT Champions League elect team, the Mighty Leeds, got beaten at home too and there`s a mass piley on the manager, before a balls been even kicked tonight

 

[jceverton]

Got to the semis of the Europa then won the Conference the next season. Both European campaigns were due to successful league seasons as well.

Yeah he got knocked out by Glassner a manager who actually wins important trophies. He finished 7th in season he lost the semi final. The season he won conference he finished 14th in the Premier League that season, the lowest position any team has finished in the table in the same season they won a major European trophy. Successful league campaigns - you’re just making stuff up!

Wonder who started it

The UEFA conference league isn't a major european trophy. It didn't exist 5 years ago and it shouldn't exist now.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

I'm gonna keep saying the name Iñigo Perez so I look cool when he's a huge success somewhere. Hopefully here.

He's a good coach and suggestion. Him or Sarabia would be risks but with potential of a high ceiling. I'd be surprised though if TFG took the gamble

 

[Osamabindiesel]

The question will be at the end of the season "should he keep his job?" I expect him to at least do okay. I don't think okay should be an endorsement for retaining him. As of right now he dropped a few points that were self inflicted. He needs to quit dropping them. If he is going to die by the KDH no. 10 sword, he needs to start getting more results with it.

Those are 3 teams who have all spent more money than we have the past five years.

I'd imagine we pay higher wages though
