2025/26 David Moyes

[Saint Domingo]

For reference we had 23 points in 23-24 (ignoring points deductions) and had gained 26 by the halfway point, so I’m hoping we can stay ahead of that marker.

He's not right imo
I don't think Moyes leaving the first time was that disrespectful. Lacked a bit of class with the Baines, Fellaini carry on but he was then working for Utd.
We've had a few players down the years that left, played well and scored against us and then returned again to do well.

This 'persona non grata' waffle over 12 years later is over the top emotional pollution

Most of us were sick of his footy and never being able to kick on and actually challenge.

There were more people upset about the fact that he was leaving on the sly rather than the fact that he was leaving. Most were ready to see him gone.

But he's back and doing pretty well tbf so let bygones be bygones maybe?

65 was the mark last year mate, suspect it will be less this year given the competitiveness of the league.

Today we learned Mick Keane and James Tarkowski is the best defensive partnership outside of Saliba and Gabriel.
Got. Always learning on this fine forum

Dyche did a great job that season, in particular.

Our players aren't worthy of sharing a pitch with them mate so pipe down

Sunderland obviously further along than us due to their number of years in the Premier..... Oh hang on they just came up. Maybe they have a manager who doesn't put a self imposed ceiling on his team.

'We're not at Newcastle's level. They would have had to have probably an off night and we'd have probably had to have a really good night to get a result.'

A telling quote then and even more stupid now. Yesterday's ridiculous "There's a billion pounds margin" when asked if defeat was down to "small margins" was every bit as revealing of Moyes's inherent inferiority complex as Dyche's "expensive bottles" comment was of his bitterness.

Moyes will always play the poor mouth.

Yeah I am. I still think he's not wrong with what he's said there.

Hopefully we're actively looking for an exciting, progressive manager for next season.

Moyes was always just brought in for some stability. We know he's not the man to take us to the top surely. Or have people learnt nothing?

He pretty much says he's not the man to take us to the top every time he's interviewed.

To be fair to Moyes, he was right. They were like Brazil. The 2014 version.

The club needs rebuilding and Moyes, for any perceived faults he may have, has always been good at that.

Rebuilding won't be done by the end of this season. I'd say his contract length is pretty much perfect as by the end of it, he'll have had a reasonable number of windows to rebuild and then we can make a decision about whether he's the right man to go forward from there.
