2025/26 David Moyes

[Eggs]

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.

….i never for once blamed Moyes for leaving Everton, a bit like the Rooney situation it was totally understandable. I have it in mind that Moyes mk2 will see out his current contract as Manager hopefully after doing exactly what he was brought in to do.

The reality is, players and Managers will leave Everton if they are attracted by an offer from another club, just as players and Managers might leave their club to join Everton.

24 points first week in December. The proof is in the pudding.

I agree. If you want loyalty buy a dog. I can't respect any adult who has the time to get so upset, and bare a grudge for so long, about something so trivial. It's a BUSINESS. Grow up and wise up Davek.

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

99% of the time it doesn't catch me, i honestly don't mind him when he keeps on track. But once he hits a certain low point, there is going to be a time it catches me.

Yeah, that's my fault for letting it happen, but he's pretty damn good at his job.

Who put 50p in the Davek?

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.

Because we had a club that had a massive negative net spend that had hardly any quality players in it.

Probably that.

If they do leave then they should at least respect the club that handed them their chance.

Moyes didn't do that, he took the piss.

Ah, the classic double standard.

Classic.

We are still starting 8 players every game from that period and also lost our best player to injury for half a season and you now expect Europe.

Seems a bit unreasonable to expect after 1 window were we spent £90m which is still a pretty paltry figure compared to most clubs and means we still have a negative net spend over the past 5/6 seasons. Unless none of those seasons count anymore?

 

[RomanReigns]

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.

When Man City get their points deduction and get relegated we will get guardiola and he will bring Haaland and Foden with him

That was net spend, and it's a pretty good warchest for one window. If Moyes gets backed again in January for a striker the demand to get to Europe will be coming from the owners.

 

[Rita_Poon]

"the owners"

hahahaa

But having not spent any money for like 5/6 seasons, £90m doesn’t stretch very far really does it? When average players seem to go for £30m pretty regularly.


As I said, still starting 8 players from the period that you saying Dyche did well by keeping us in 17th.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Still this.

You're trying to plait diarrhoea. It's easier to find something funny and laugh.

Well he wont play two of them because he wants to keep them off the pitch for a couple of seasons for some reason. And the two that do get on are the transformative talents of Grealish and KDH.

So expectancy is warranted - especially if he adds to the team again in January.
