Moyes is due a big up for his move in bringing ex-players back into the club. Excellent to see legends like Dunc, Stubbs and Weir being fed back into the life blood of the club. To me this demonstrates exactly how Moyes 'gets' what this club is all about and why he is deserving of our faith in difficult times. (y)
 

I think of it more as working a few quid his mate's way rather than in those sentimental terms though. These people raked it in at Everton as players. Stubbs made a killing by helping see Rooney safely off to United for his mates in Proactive; Duncan Ferguson played when he wanted to for us and got himself sent off at critical moment that nearly saw us relegated; Weir is just at Everton because we're local for where he lives...he'd be coaching at Rangers if he still had a base up there and that criminal organisation still had wages to pay; someone like Irvine I have no grumbles with: he did his time in coaching and then did a good job with us and now he's back. No problem with that appointment.

Just to clarify, are you saying that Duncan Ferguson's return was an ill advised move?

Time will tell. Another way of approaching this is to ask why are Duncan Ferguson/Stubbs/Weir especially good men to have coaching Everton youngsters rather than another ex-pro with skills at coaching?
 
Come on mate. All three have put in great shifts for the club and played with real heart.. if they can carry a bit of that ethos across to bridge the current transitions in the team that seems to be a good thing. Is that being overly sentimental? I don't think so.

Dave, you took something pure and you flipped it upside down, and you know what, Dave. I don't know what to believe, man.
