The return of David Moyes

[Daytripper]

You don't go in to a new stadium, with new owners, with this man at the helm. There has to be more progression on the pitch, not regression.

Looks like we are.

"BUT HE WON YOU A TROPHY!!!!!!" Again, see an earlier longer post if you can be arsed. It's all a bit tedious to come up against the same 'retort'

Well it’s not like you win a lot of trophies is it? How ungrateful.

 

[Fake]

You’re an idiot.

Well you lot look like you're getting Moyes so..

 

[Tel001]

As a fellow Dyche enthusiast, who would you have?

Bobby “72 point” Martinez

 

[efcste97]

I hate him but I would have him for 6 months

 

[Gilbert..]

Hope not.
I refused to applaud him after he accepted the united job and stayed on as Everton manager. I didnt get what all that was about.
Very underwhelming if it happens.

How many times did he beat those teams away and i don't include Spurs in that. Moyes also bottled an FA Cup semi final against a mediocre rs team.

He bottled numerous other chances to win a trophy at Everton as well. He'll do an adequate job and no more than that imo.

He beat all on their own turf. Beat the Sh*te home and away in 2021/2022 season. He’s not been at the club for years, he’s evolved. He’s taken a team in a similar position to us, to a top ten regular, European regular and won a cup.

It's a boring argument devoid of any context. I already said I was very grateful for that night. Doesn't hide the fact that the league form was shocking the last couple of years and spiralling downward.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Can’t say I’m to happy about this, seems underwhelming

 

[Runub]

Don’t want Moyes back but I suspect he will be arriving shortly

Why do so many people assume there's a long list of available candidates who want to come here and out of all of them we've gone for Moyes?

Isn't the far more likely reality that we have very few options given we are in a mess still, and this is the most practical appointment to improve our chances of survival?

So weird that people are having go at TFG based on a hypothetical scenario we've passed over load of other more "progressive" names.

Exactly. There seems to be some weird sentiment that there must be dozens of great candidates beating down the doors to take over a relegation-threatened team midseason and how could these idiots possibly disregard all of them to go for their first choice David Moyes just for the sake of sentimentality (for a club they've owned for less than 3 weeks)?!

It was only recently that there were plenty of rumors that they were holding out for Iraola or maybe Thomas Frank in the summer. But nobody of that ilk would even take our call in January. Why would they?

So, yeah, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt here that they're just trying to make the best out of a crap situation that they've been forced into by the staggering incompetence of the manager they inherited.

Spiralling back to where you have always been before Moyes rocked up?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Booooo.

Sack him.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Booooo.

Sack him.

Maybe boot him in the summer

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Bit boring this. How many times have we beaten them away in front of a crowd since?

We were a better team than them that year i think. That was a mediocre rs team but we still found a way to blow it.

The first leg game against Fiorentina, that Wigan FA Cup quarter final, that second leg Benfica game that someone just mentioned to me.

How much more evidence do you want exactly? He'll do his usual adequate job which will do for now i suppose.

Boring really is the operative word when it comes to David Moyes.
