The return of David Moyes

[street end]

Wtf is Plan B for Easter?

The usual suspects will be against Moyes from day one. It’s already started. People wittering on about his record against top six clubs as though we've had an unbelievably good one since he left ffs!

Exactly this.

 

[jazzy]

Of course I might be wrong but IMO of all the talked about and available candidates Moyes offers us the best chance of staying up this season.

Personally I'd prefer to start BMD with a fresh new manager but I agree that with a depleted squad and still tight finances we might need a slightly longer period to steady the ship before a new guy takes over.

The way he acted when he left wasn't great but we have to put that to one side and get on with it..
As @Saint Domingo said in an earlier post now is the time to heal.

It is imperative that if Moyes gets the gig that everyone gets behind him and the team. We have been fractious for too long and a disunited club / fan base is no good.

Let's bin the toxicity and turn Goodison into a bear pit again.

COYB.

I'd imagine today's 'talks' are him decked in the finest Castore clobber and ticking all the club media/PR boxes.

He strikes me as a bloke who loves a bit of Castore.

The meff.

We did win at Spurs. In fact we should have won that game by far more than 1 nil.

Although it was also behind closed doors

Yeah exactly, doesn’t count, not a real game.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Hopefully some clause in the summer regarding a break in contract, because if not that's absolutely mad handing him a two-year deal. He's had the club's pants down as he knows we're absolutely desperate and the owners seemimgly have no idea.

 

[jceverton]

Yeah i think he is tbf. Obviously not to Pep, Ancelotti, Mourinho etc. But i'd say he is the list after them.

We've had two great Everton managers in last 60 years. Kendall and Catterick. That's it. Your statement is not only idiotic it's insulting..

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

You’d think we’ve been racking up those wins away at the ‘big 6’ since he left the way people are talking.

‘Bottling’ cup semi finals isn’t really an issue for us right now either.

Records at the big 6 since he left:

United: 1-4-8
Chelsea: 0-4-8
Arsenal: 1*-2-10
Liverpool: 1*-2-10
City: 0-5-8
Spurs: 1*- 2- 9

* denotes the game was played behind closed doors.

So our 1 win true away win in the entire time he's been gone came against himself. God we've been spoilt.

Defo six pointer for us, says a r/s I know.

 

[Rita_Poon]

He took Sunderland down in 2017 with

Pickford
Bryan Oviedo
Joleon Lescott
Jack Rodwell
Steven Pienaar
Darron Gibson
Victor Anichebe

Utterly irrelevant today but 5 of those were recruited that summer and 3 from Manchester United.

Hopefully if there are transfers this window he/the club cast their net a little bit wider than simply former players. who had largely been out out to pasture.

Gibson (hiccup) united.
Lescott (downed tools) city
Rodwell (to much to soon) city
Pienaar (spurs bench)

bit closer?

 

[MikeH72]

The more I think about Moyes coming back the more I think we should have just rolled the dice with Dyche until his contract was up. When are we going to escape this BS around this club

You would rather “roll the dice” with a man who’s been relegated twice and has a 28% Premier League win ratio than appoint someone with a track record of stabilising struggling football clubs? Weird but ok.

 

[D410]

2 years

Only if he gets results then again what's the remit? Keep us up as a zombie club or..

 

[jceverton]

None of the others had 11 seasons worth of attempts to be fair .
Think it’s hysterically funny that someone could be so anti Dyche and yet approve of Dour Davey .
Genuinely amused by that .

Yep another one who doesn't give a fig for the clubs motto!

A teenage Jordan Pickford.
Was Oviedo ever any good?
A permacrocked Jack rodwell
A 40 year old Steven pienaar.
An alcoholic darron Gibson.
And 3 goal a season victor anichebe.

Should be have been scrubbed off the badge years ago, embarrassing

Clearly, he just needed to add some wins in there. Job done.
