It’s sad that people can’t appreciate the good work he did at this club. You’d think after the last 3 and a bit seasons that people would have realised just what a good job he did.

Sod that. I hate you Moyes with every fibre of my being because you said something slightly derogatory about Everton in a press conference once.

That's the spirit! Petty grudges should never be let go.

I do appreciate what he did, he signed some of the best players I've ever seen play in an Everton shirt (Arteta, Pienaar, Cahill, Baines) and he deserves big props for his consistent top 8 finishes after we spent years battling relegation. Not many managers could have accomplished that, even before the PL became a much tougher place to do well in like it has since he left. It's just I won't forget about the bad things he was responsible for either.

  • Never winning a cup when he had teams well capable of it
  • Spending his last 3 or 4 seasons generally sulking and acting not one bit arsed
  • ALWAYS waving a white flag in big away games and talking afterwards like it was achievement to only lose narrowly
  • Consistently favouring rubbish like Osman, Hibbert and Neville over younger and better players, or least ones who had lots of potential
  • Lying to club officials about how he we probably going to re-sign when he knew MONTHS beforehand he was going
  • Sending out a reserve XI against the worst RS side ever so Gerrard could have his own testimonial, complete with hat-trick

He can now be classed as a dinosaur who's been left behind by how much the league has evolved over the past few years, it's simple as that. He's never been an innovative manager and nowadays you have to be if you're going to get a tune out of limited players. Simply making them work harder in training and shouting at them when they're playing poorly isn't enough, He's took Sunderland down with the most pathetic of whimpers and he's nailed go again with West Ham. After that he'd be lucky to even get the Scotland job. He's made so many bad decisions over the past few years and can only blame himself.

Not the most talented players but all played an important part in stabilising the club as mentioned above. I'm not even sure who the stellar talents are that they held back? I'd actually be glad to have the 27/28 year old versions of them in the squad right now. Say what you like but they had character, fought for the team and didn't hide. Not that any of our current squad have issues with these traits, like.

He doesn't half spout some brown stuff. After a few results he can do any job in the world, yes Davey we all saw the job you did on utd, sociedad and sunderland.

Show some humility and just get on with it.

When Moyes was with us he always seemed very measured and controlled with the media - rarely made a show of himself that I can recall. Now it's the opposite, seems to go out of his way to make silly statements that make him look foolish. I think it likely that the message never changed much, it's more the media has gotten a lot less friendly and is happy to let / make him look stupid.
Like these recent comments are, charitably, him just saying you need total self-belief to manage a premiership football club, because without it you're finished, and that's how a supportive journalist would have reported it years ago. Now, it's delusionsal Moyes thinks he can manage Real Madrid after three games at West Ham.
