Not a particularly great article, but it's nice to see a member of the media not gush over Alan Curbishley Mk II.
 

what a load of cr@p. Some half truths in us bottling some games but....

Cup final - we were without our best players, and Hibbo and osman were not fit and it was 40C on the pitch. We wilted and their big games players were the difference

And as for us playing cr@p stuff....true sometimes....but we also play some great stuff

Villa job? the cretin is probably a villa fan which is why he is looking to aim a jab. And who says Moyes wasn't contacted about either the villa or spurs job? I bet he was. As for the RS...there is one good reason why he wasnt contacted for that job.

He hasn't won anything, but a final and 2 semi-finals are closer than the previous 2 managers. And take 95 out the mix, then I believe the last time we reached a semi was 89?

That journalist needs to get real. We have to sell to buy, we have less money than stoke and yet we still have expectations of launching a european challenge.

Who reads the friggin Independent anyway?
 
A lot of rubbish and some bad historical revisionism in that article.

"In the final against Chelsea circumstances could not have been more favourable". Except we were without Jagielka, Arteta and Yakubu and they weren't without Drogba, Lampard and Terry.

Suggesting the Villa job is bigger than Everton. Suggesting he should have been in contention for the job at the tin mine. Bigging up Rogers and Lambert and Martinez over him after half a good season at Swansea and Norwich respectively and Wigan's great escape, despite them being the worst team in the division by some way for most of the season, and the fact Moyes showed Rogers' Swansea up to be a case of the Emperor's new clothes quite utterly.

There are plenty of sticks to beat Moyes with, but that piece didn't really nail any of them. Poor journalism.
I think he was referring to the favourable position of being one up from the off and not taking the initiative with it.
 

The answer has to be that he's had security for 10 years at Everton and failed to build any really inspiring team, or - outside of the 4th spot in 2005 - achieved anything resembling success with the squads he's been given ample time to build; that he's already on an elite manager's wage, which would put off a potential suitor as he'd want a long contract to make the offer attractive on a financial level; that he's got zero Euro pedigree (worse, in fact: he's got a dog of a record in Europe) and that's another huge consideration.

Not even approached either where as Chelsea threw 13million to get AVB, the RS interviewed Martinez twice before saying Rodgers was the "one", and Villa went straight for Houlier, McLeish, and Lambert.

The bookies and press go straight for Moyes for any open manager vacancy because even Tamworth can spend more money than us, and he's "done all he can" with us making the fans get into a fluster when nothing is happening

Bottom line is that Moyes now has a reputation or stigma about him now. His stock isn't as high as it was while his price is higher than most in world football so he gets swerved for new up and coming managers out to prove themselves
 
I stopped reading at Anfield wish list, why are they saying Liverpool and Villa? Liverpool finished below us and Villa where fighting relegation, the Chelsea spot was obviously going to Di Mattao, fair enough with the Tottenham link but it's a no go... next

Well, all the top jobs barring Arsenal and United have been and gone and many of our "peer group" clubs have needed a new boss without Moyes getting an approach. Someone in the press - obviously embarrassed for him being passed over - suggested the other day a European outfit had approached him last season. Very convenient.

£3.5M (soon to be £4M+) per year...his agent must be pissing himself.
 
Well written article but the content is bollocks, sorry.

How can you compare the likes of Martinez and Rodgers to Moyes seriously?

If you want attractive football that gets you nowhere then fairplay. People forget what Rodgers achieved before Swansea, now hes in charge of Liverpool after a season that fizzled out with Swansea hes gonna show us all how its done, ok yer...

Its getting boring all these non-stories Journos are serving up about Moyes, isnt it obvious by now?

Hes got loyalty and integrity (ruling out Liverpool)
He believes having a sound relationship with his chairman is in his and the club's best interests (something he is unlikely to find with Levy, Lerner, or Abramovich)

Theres only one other job for him in England, and its not available yet.

When it is, no one would stand in his way, he'll be deserving such is the job hes done.

Its laughable how this guy can compare what has been achieved at Everton by David Moyes to some half decent football played by Rodgers and Martinez. The article does Moyes a massive injustice, probably why the guy is only writing about football and not involved in any other way.

You cant seriously be suggesting Man Utd would entertain the idea of Moyes becoming their manager?
 

You make it sound as if its a comment without any kind of foundation, when the reality is, the people who matter, not you, not me, the people involved in the game, would put his name on the list without hesitation.

His stock is high in the football industry, even the current united manager rates him, so why is it wrong to suggest hed be at least in the running?

It's not comparing them and there achievements its pointing out the brand of football they represent, and why clubs have over looked Moyes.

He's now either too expansive and not worth the price, or just doesn't offer what they're looking for rather than Moyes knocking back with a stick

He never gets approached.

Firstly, you don;t know that.

Secondly, who could take him away from Everton? Certianly not villa. The RS have less chance. Chelsea can get anyone they want and as a big a fan as I am of Moylez he still wouldn't even by my first choice.

Spurs, ok maybe a point there. But they don't spend as much as people think and a lot of it was financed by the Keane and Berbatov sales. Not as rich as people make out. Maybe they can't afford him anyway or maybe Moyes realises 'Arry has ****ed off when there's no money left. Again.

Put it this way, if Moyes were to fall out with kenwright and then get sacked for whatever reason, 89/90 out of the 92 league clubs would love him to be their manager.

It'd get out that a club approached him.
