The all new David Moyes poll (for Davek)

[Eggs]

Genuinely I think the fact only (just under) 60% feel he should stay is far from reassuring. If the whole aim is supposed to stability - and under Moyes that's all it can ever be - then having a manager who only a slight majority are in favour of keeping isn't really conducive to it.

….i suspect that 40% will be about the norm for any Manager after 12 months or so. I expected more for Moyes given the noisy element on here especially given we haven’t won in the last 3, his age and he’s not foreign.

No chance. People will always gripe about managers but 40% actually committing to saying they want him gone is a different thing. This was always a danger with Moyes, people already had opinions about him which aren't going to be changed unless he changes (which he doesn't appear to have done). You can't seriously think there'd be 40% of respondents saying they thought we should sack Iraola if he'd come in at the same time and got the same results? Not even close. I'm genuinely surprised at the results so far, I thought it'd be around 80-20.

I voted NO because Everton are no good for my blood pressure as it is. Then throw Moyes into the mix and I’ll pop my clogs sooner than expected.

 

[Blue Parkender]

I'm saying no because he is not the man to take us forward. I'd like Glasner think he would be the perfect fit for us.

My read of TFG, but above all - who Everton are as a club dictates he's staying.

We're just working on an updated version of the below, just need to tweak the years.

You don't need trophies to be a winner but he is a winner.

Looks worse every time I see it..

Yum Yum I want more gruel.

Another 3rd round defeat in the FA Cup at home for me.

Yes please.

Just change decade to century.

Maybe he holds a bowl of gruel instead of a trophy.

Literally pops out of his bunker the second I hit reply.

If we get Europe & so then keep Moyes, as seems to be a widely held view, it should be noted that for much of the West Ham cup winning season in 22/23 West Ham were below the Lampard/Dyche version of Everton in the league although Moyes eventually got them to 40 points.

Not sure how it will go down if we are on 20 points after 24 games & sitting 19th in the table like West Ham were.

It looks like he relied on 7 or 8 players for most of the games so not a lot of rotation. Don’t know if there were any mitigating circumstances.

Maybe he learnt from the experience but he seems reluctant to change his ways based on current evidence.

Double stress, a cup run & a relegation battle.

In the absence of any genuine top class candidates I'm Cheese on Toast right now.

Over to you TFG.

Well well, reading up to page 7 was like being at a Chimps tea party.

So much bickering and squabbling. Superb stuff.

I voted Yes, mainly because there was no fermented dairy option.

My arse is very sore sitting on the fence but my weight is slightly over to the yes side.

It really is a case of the plans that have already been made backstage and/or are being currently made. If the powers that be believe that one more season with a solid succession plan is the state of play, then I will take that, if they feel they are ready with that succession plan then I am OK with that. We don't know what stage we are at, with those, so it is extremely difficult to fall totally on one side, for me anyway.

Iraola would be great, but if he came in and had the same start he did at Bournemouth people's heads would've been falling off and he'd have been lucky to have only 40%

I'm pretty much in the same boat.

He's earned next season. I didn't want him back originally, but you can't argue with the overall result. If we don't progress next season (or maintain where we are if there are worthy mitigatin circumstances), then say thanks and have someone else lined up. But no-one's going to improve us markedly without getting a decent striker in, so our most important business is in the transfer window, not the manager's office.
