Everton are bigger than any manager any player. We the fans are the club.

Spurs, last season.

In what way did he 'actively' look for the Spurs job?

They never approached us. It's widely believed they never privately approached Moyes either.

It was all media talk. 95% of the stuff written about Moyes is made up media talk. The latest flavour of the month rumour is Chelsea, only because Benitez is hated and everyone thinks he's going.

You're saying he's a gullible idiot then? Believing that puts him right up there with those who believe the takeover rumours come season ticket renewal time.

I reckon he made his mind up ages ago, he wants to leave but is just hanging on incase something miraculous happens here, or when the offer of the Man U job doesn't come he'll resign here rather than risk walking away from a cushy contract.

.

I suppose if you put 11 years into something in the hope you could move to the club to the next level you may decide to walk away once you knew that the owner would prefer to be a leech instead of moving aside to let the club move forward.

In that case he should have walked away about 20 times before now.

Moyes went on about ten media shows last summer (talksport etc) to say pubically that if Spurs approached him he'd consider it.

The fact they didn't want him is irrelivant.

This is true.

Remember the interview on BBC during the Euros? My god it was cringe worthy. He was basically showing Spurs his fanny and saying 'come and get me boys'.

maybe he thought that Bill would do the right thing or at the very least the supporters would pile the preasure on Bill.

It seems neither has happened and when Moyes goes it will be intresting to see the reaction of the fans like yourself when the penny drops.

Yeah, I was trying to find old links for this, but Lineker asked him, and he was Defo up for it.

Spot on. I hated that, I sort of lost it with him a little bit after that.

Are you for real?

A mercenary in football is someone who chooses job based on the money they earn rather than other considerations such as ability to win trophies or whatever.

A manager who earns huge wages with the chinese national football team is a mercenary. How is a manager who makes huge wages at a midtable trophyless team any less of one?

The only club teams in the world to pay their manager more than us are Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, Guangzhou, Manchester United, Arsenal, Anzhi, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Spurs, Benfica and QPR. QPR are the only team of them who'd even consider him.

He is the best paid manager to never win a trophy in the history of football and he demanded that from us. He is here solely because nobody else will pay his wages and never sack him no matter what he does.

 

[nesky]

The club is "us"? Really? So why did "we" turn down Sheikh Monsour?

The club is a privately owned business that is wholly reliant on a mass of people it can take for granted because they - in an utter delusion encouraged by the club - happen to think that "they" are the club.

 

[NewRadical]

Who's he then?

 

[chicoazul]

Moyes thinks he has us over a barrel and that's the thing doing my head in.

The thing is about our greatest managers is that they finished the job and won things. He hasn't. So all this putting things off to think is taking the piss out of every single one of us. I'd rather he stayed but it's like having a bird who thinks she's all that trying to dictate the relationship - on you go girl, I'll end up slotting one of your mates.

 

[Pabbers]

Tell you what, listening to this panel on SSN, when Moyes does go. Im giving Everton up, and I think all Everton fans should just stop going, after all, Moyes IS the reason we are who we are, we have to thank him for Dixie, Ball, Labone, 9 titles, 5 FA Cups, 1 WC, 100+ years in top flight.

I want to even thank him for building Goodison, and deciding to take us away from Anfield.

Cheers Moyes.

Some strange spin being put on this situation really.

Nothing wrong with waiting until the Summer to see what position the club are in. He's come out and told it how it is, and that he wants to see where the club are in the Summer. Kenwright and Co. now have ample opportunity to sort out possible replacements in the event that he does decide to leave.
