2025/26 David Moyes

No, I think he joined us (on loan initially) because he was probably promised he'd play and we would make the team work for him (which we did, hence permanent).

Comparing that to "run the channels and fight for your place" is an interesting thought experiment, I don't know which one he'd pick.

FWIW/on topic, I'm not even super against Moyes, he is what he is, but we're gonna be midtable with him forever. It was somewhat obvious this is what would happen as soon as we were "close to Europe", to be honest, it's prime Moyes time to destroy that

even though it's still redeemable.
Nah we're done.
 
Think it showed today how important Jarrad is and how despite his limitations Beto was a big loss too. Factor in Grealish being missing the second half of the season and falling short was always on the cards. Moyes merely adds to the problem with his inflexibility of team selection and not trusting certain players who may of offered better solutions (Patterson, Aznou, George, Dibling, Rohl for example)
 
I've kept quiet as we had a bit of a purple patch where we looked like the season might exceed all expectations but in typical Everton fashion when we just need a result against the reds it's bottled and then the momentum shifts and looks like we will be mid table which if told prior to round 1 is a great result.

Moyes I don't feel like should be given any sort of extension and talks shouldn't be even considered until around December.
Moyes is very good at getting results with a squad full of holes and flaws but it's his own flaws that have held him back his whole career and stopped him from being a legendary manager.

Poor recruitment past summer apart from KDH led to poor squad rotation through the cups and tight fixtures. Not much hope for a more successful summer either with the world cup being on and transfers traditionally being after the season has already started, plus our track record.
 
It was a typical DM day: . a team selection that lacked courage, incompetent substitutions, and the failure to use younger, untested players.

DM is renewing Idrissa, Keane, and maybe Mylenko so these incompetent performances may still be the order of the day next season.

Playing Dwight and letting him stink the place for so long is a sackable offence. DM has done well overall this season but his limitations are so massive that he should go. I realize that I was his supporter until Friday but EFC lost a game that they should have won and has ended the season because of such basic defects.
 
Does he ever actually look in the mirror and ask himself why, whenever we’re desperate for a goal, he hooks both lads on the right side every single time?
Or is he just obsessed with keepin' that flank tucked in to defend?

Everyone’s cryin' out for a right-back who can actually get forward and overlap, but nah, he’s got Garner playin' as an inverted fullback. If he thinks Garner’s the best right-back we’ve got, why doesn’t he just park him there for good?

Or is he just clingin' onto O’Brien for those long throws that never come to anythin' anyway? He’s clearly arsed about keepin' O’Brien in the mix, but he hasn't got the stones to drop Tarky or Keane—even though O’Brien’s harder, faster, taller, better on the deck, and a proper young lad.

The whole team’s carried by four fellas: Gana, Garner, KDH, and Ndiaye. The rest of 'em are just makin' up the numbers, and the bench might as well not be there for all the use he gets out of 'em.

Our entire attack is just 'give it to Ndiaye and hope he beats five men' or waitin' for KDH to make a run.

When you see him over there chattin' to Bainesy, you know he’s absolutely out of ideas.

And all those melts sayin' 'we aren't ready for Europe anyway'—actin' like we can just pick and choose when we want to be good. They’re probably proper proud of themselves for bein' 'right.' But with this manager and his prehistoric football, we’ll be right back in a relegation scrap next season, stone dead cert.
 
Well all of a sudden this divvy has left himself going into a game against a rampant Manchester City that he absolutely must win.

Bournemouth and Chelsea are winning next week, and we are getting demolished at home against City. That will leave us 5 points behind Bournemouth, 4 behind Chelsea and Brighton, currently 3 points ahead, have a very winnable have away to Newcastle.

That puts 6th, 7th and 8th out of our reach with 3 games left.

What a kin idiot. From his bumbling, abject failure of a summer transfer window to sheer refusal to use his squad throughout the season.

Truffert was there for the taking at less than we paid for Mykolenko years ago. I dread to think of the other players he turned his nose up to.

Any manager who deems Dwight McNeil good enough to start three-quarters of a season is himself not good enough for a football club attempting to get into European competition.

Europe was there for the taking and he's seen us turned over and embarrassed multiple times at home and completely drop off right at the end when our competitors are on a roll.

So much for the David Moyes never-say-die, always giving 100% for the fans and being exceptionally well-drilled and tactically aware at set pieces squad mantra.

Get rid, sick of him, his face, attitude, comments, smugness.
 
If you say so mate. If this was Iraola who'd taken us from a relegation battle to a chance of qualifying for Europe within 12 months then I reckon there'd be a different reaction. One of which the overriding feeling would be that he needs time.

I see the faults in Moyes. There's a point he can reach and we can say that's enough, but we are a long way away from that and I hope we let him build.

The last thing I will say is that West Ham were in a very similar position to where we are now when they called time on Moyes. How confident are you our next two seasons will go better than theirs?

1: Iraola would have developed the younger players. If we were using and improving our new crop each game then people wouldnt care if we were 13th again. Its all about seeing improvement.

2: This is nothing like final season Moyes at West Ham. He was losing games 3, 4 and 5 nil while playing this rubbish football after signing rubbish players in the main.

Today we are at the stage where we allow him to spend £100mil on players with no resale upside.

Or we bring in a new manager to coach the £150mil worth of players we signed and add £100mil more to it. Then really build something exciting.
 
The ludicrous salaries we throw at awful managers, Iraola would jump at the chance to take over and become one of the highest earners in the league and triple his Bournemouth salary.

He'd probably be brilliant here and an inspired appointment. Moyes had the club over a barrel and got himself a 30-month contract when all we needed was a slight upturn in results to get safe.

Very sadly to say, it's evident our owners simply want a steady Premier League football club that continues to generate Premier League money without themselves needing to invest heavily (proven in January when Champions League was certainly on with a positive transfer window).
