ffs, this is really depressing. Drinks bleach**

[kenada_blue]

i have thought this as well and my view was that i dont think he is genuinely under pressure from BK over our current predictament but its media based

like take our start for the last couple of years i genuinely think thats a serious issue that a team and manager( who on paper most would agree are decent) cannnot hit the ground running for a new season and we get riddled with " no money" , " injuries" " the league is gettting harder" excuses yet when we hit form the same skint small squad walks on water and the excuses disappear

Pretty much, yeah.

 

[daz4matty]

having no money isnt the worse thing in the world as it may seem .......

in fact at times i was glad as it saved knee jerk reactions from a new owner , the fact that "smaller" clubs are buying players we cant is annoying but not end of the world [Poor language removed]!!!

i have bigger problems in the fact that there is major issue in our play, that so many players are so off form and the players been picked dont seem to justify their inclusion....yet if you were to listen to DM he paints a different picture to what i have been seeing since august

i want the DAVID MOYES of old back, the guy who bought many many cheap players got a massive return from them and the whole squad wore their hearts on their sleeves.... i dont want to be hearing regularly of how we have no money or how glad he was someone turned up and played for him

bullshit actions speak louder than words

The old david moyes is at bolton thats how we used to be small squad,great desire and pressing and a wonderful spirit.
They have cahill and elemander who might leave at any moment but they play their heart out because they are managed properly.

When it comes to something like this (getting the most out of a cash strapped club), I still think Moyes is the best man for the job. Few (if any) other top quality managers would tolerate the lack of budget Kenright has us on.

I think it's fair to get on Moyes for defensive tactics and some poor/poorly-timed subs, but as a shrewd manager of the wage bill and consistantly purchasing players at great value, I don't know of a single manager that is better than Moyes (his string of hits far outweighs his misses - or TBDs).

I think this comment is really just Moyes showing support for the club and his boss. Airing dirty laundry or fracturing that relationship doesn't do anything beneficial. I'm sure Moyes is as frustrated as all of us are in the privacy of his own home - he just can't afford to show it publicly without doing far more damage than good.

Imagine if he had come out and said, "I've got a really crap chairman but that's the situation we're in at the moment. I need money and I'm not being given it." that is drawing a line in the sand. At best, Kenright may give him some cash out of embarrasment/rage and the two would get past it.

At worst, Kenright still doesn't give any more cash. Then he and Davey stop talking and off the field issues start showing on the field (ask the red [Poor language removed] how their last 2 seasons were). After a few weeks, Bill fires Davey for insubordination, and since there is no one better willing to take the job at a cash strapped club with a bad chairman, we end up with Steve Round as the manager. Without Moyes, we see a flood of transfer requests (Cahill, Baines, Neville, Rodwell, Distin, Jags) and we can't bring in any new quality players since we don't have a top manager, we won't pay top wages, and we only look at loans and bosmans.

Is this really a better situation? Sounds like a recipe for relegation in a year to me...

I don't agree with the "fear" in losing Moyes I'm afraid. Managers move on from clubs all the time without disaster.

I honestly don't think you can solely blame the lack of cash. It's a great squad, Moyes ain't using it right.

Whilst I agree that sacking Moyes right now would be wrong, the guy shouldn't be immune and we should be constantly reassessing the situation rather than accepting he's part of the furniture. I've constantly said the guy worked miracles on a budget and consolidated this club, but can he push us on or are we sliding backwards... I feel it's the latter. I would absolutely love to be proved wrong.

What I can agree with you on completely is that Kenwright is the wrong man as Chairman, but he truly is immune as there will never, ever be a Kopite-esque organised protest at Everton against him.

Bryan, is the tide going out or coming in?

Want me to be honest? I hope the tide is going out. With one of the head honcho's with it.

That's all i'll say.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Fair enough Mate.

 

[Matt Damon]

Good logic. Could be a veiled attack I suppose. But if it was, it should have had a bit more "oomph" to it.

Subtlety is the name of the game when dealing with chairmen.



Plus - are you really sure that was an attack?

or is that you just thinking it COULD be an attack?

Are you sure?

....

Yes its defo an attack. Moyes has just ripped Kenwright because the EFC board won't allow him to address deficiencies in his squad.

Board member's body parts all over the shop!.



I rest my case.
