It wasn't the fact they lost 2-0 it was the fact that it came against a side that is not traditionally perceived as a top four side

Cheeky t**** - we're the 4th most successful team in English history. We'd won more league titles than them up until 1993.

Can't stand how these disrespectful knobs hold up getting beat by Everton as some disgrace - I think them getting beat by the likes of Swansea and Stoke was far worse.

Ferguson did it years ago, blaming the 4-4 draw on them losing the title - conveniently forgetting how they got beat at home by relegated Blackburn earlier in the season.

Would he though ?

From what we've heard he is very cautious in the transfer market, often to the point of absurdity. He took zero interest in youth development at Everton (a major part of directing a football club, surely), and a large number of Everton's back room staff seemingly thought he was an utter nob.

He likes to have complete control, something which being a director of football wouldn't give him as pitch matters would be out of his hands.

He's suited to managing a mid table Premier League side.

Was thinking he would be a good football director. His transfer market acumen is definitely his strength. I wouldn't say he took no interest in youth--his last transfer here was an 18-year-old in Stones. The problem was that he couldn't develop youth. Martinez has been able to develop our youth. But as far as scouting players, etc. he actually does fair job.

I kind of feel for him. I think he acted hypocritically and it got under my skin, but I don't think he ever genuinely stopped caring about the club and I certainly don't think he intended to wind Evertonians up. I think he was just trying to do his job in a way that cut any emotion/loyalty etc out of the equation. Parts of me think he was trying too much to "be" Ferguson.

I'll always be grateful for what he did here and I hope he doesn't get the Newcastle job because there he'll have much less pressure on his shoulders and the easiest act to follow imaginable (bar himself of course) in Pardew. He'll be less financially restricted than he was here and I could see him getting them up in the top 6 if he just does the same job he did here.

I agree with much of this. Yes, he acted badly after he left but was only trying to do his job....getting players to sign for his new employers.

But he hasn't become a bad manager overnight. How can they give him a five year contract and pull the plug now.....have they no idea of what happened to SAF in his early years (and if the Glazers don't know about the calls for SAF's head early on then Bobby Charlton should have enlightened them). he should have been given a proper chance to show his skills.

This stinks of an air of superiority that is part of the culture of this club under Fergsuon. The players seem to think they are more important than the club so won't play for Moyes and SAF seems to think he has a divine right to annoint a successor without observing any of the legal and decent protocols of dealing with his then employers. Very angry that the media have simply ignored this....would they ignore Barca secretly negotiating with say Mourinho or SAF whilst they were still managing in England.

I'll agree with one point though: Moyes would have been well advised to keep Meulensteen and Phelan on.....they knew the dressing room inside out and could have supported/challenged him. Can you see Phil and headset doing the same? Me neither.

So he has my sympathy up to a point. Has been treated shabbily.

What odds are being offered on SAF coming out of retirement? Now that would be funny.......
 

Any confirmation yet,saving my celebration til I get it.

I'd find it utterly glorious if it's us that put the final nail in his coffin as manager of them.

Lawro was at it again today saying that we're ungrateful for booing him and that we did well out of the Fellaini deal, so we should have no complaints. Of course he did a good job for us but it hurt the way he left and that he appeared to have very little affinity or respect for the club after having spent 11 years with us. That's what outsiders don't get.

That tit plus umpteen others bolstered the Moyes myth for years. What a simple little story Everton became under Moyes our losses were as predictable the time of day. How much harder to look deeper stick your neck out and say with a tweak here and there Everton could improve maybe get 4th or win at OT!

Even that idiot journo Paddy Barclay (the main instigator of the Moyes myth) is blustering saying Utd are hasty binning Moyes. A whole generation of idiots in the media are being exposed with the utd/moyes saga.
