The return of David Moyes

[wainy]

I was going to ask him the same thing... I presume the answer would be something like "That's not up to me to decide", whilst slagging off every name mentioned.

I know he likes to moan, but you can't defend dyche to the hilt, slag moyes before he's even appointed, all the while not having an opinion on who he'd like to see.

Absolute cop out

No - again it pains me but Dave is right, and importantly so is Dyche, he said days ago succession planning is crucial. And this is who they choose? They have abEuropean reach and a global footprint and they choose… David Moyes?

Gravesen was a Walter Smith signing.

Yer get the Gist yer pedantic get xxx

 

[wainy]

I agree, it could be far far worse than Moyes. He plays better football than Dyche and I'd be very confident we'd move away from the relegation zone. Just seems unimaginative but maybe that's for another time

It is very unimaginative. Unfortunately we are in a position where we need someone to bring stability and keep us in the league. And more importantly won't cost us the earth.

 

[Toffeepot]

These Texans need to be told they cant hire Moyes.

The clueless gets.

it's not your remit, or something something fist shake*

Are there thousands of better managers than Dyche available right now? Because that’s the bigger question. We need someone right now.

Allegri, Fonseca and Terzic are all available right now off the top of my head. Also, if you’re hunting for up-and-comers from lower/foreign leagues then it wouldn’t cost the earth to make someone available right now. Of the few managers on this earth who would be a worse appointment than Dyche, I’m pretty sure they’ve all managed us in the last 10 years.

This is a lot of people’s point, though, Matty.

Moyes over Dyche any day, of course, but there’s thousands of competent football managers in the world. After months and months of supposed planning, TFG couldn’t find ONE appointment more suitable/exciting/inspiring than a fella in his 60s that first managed us 20-odd years ago??

It stinks of desperation and a lack of ambition.

Might well turn out boss but I think there’ll be a lot, me being one, who took the takeover and Dyche’s sacking to be signs of a new era, and are just proper deflated by this same, old, safety first approach.

this is me now mate

expected better thought it would be

new era, new dawn

i feel underwhelmed

but maybe it will work out

So who then?

the first two all day long

but surely it’s thad they don’t want to come in now

 

[lieneverton]

It clearly isn’t no.

They clearly had a number 1 target that they wanted in the up coming summer but things change in football quickly.

They’re not going to get people in a job already so it has to be a manager out of contract & Moyes is the option.

I’m abit surprised we’ve all suddenly forgot how bad we are & there’s people on here thinking we’d be getting Jose hahaha

Absolutely mental how many people have decided we've looked over a load of big names and are rejecting them and going for Moyes as some sort of master plan.

Dyches appalling performance this season meant action had to be taken, and we needed someone in who would improve our chances of survival, on the basis that sticking with a man who had clearly checked out was only heading one way. It's not hard to understand.

As for being underwhelmed by Moyes, yes, it's not an exciting appointment, but for me, it's an understandable one in the here and now, in my view anyway. Thats of course up for debate. And if they give him a 4 year contract, then yes, throw pelters. This is if he even accepts, he could tell us to do one.

But people coming up with a hypothetical scenario that we've looked over a load of "progressive" or more "exciting" names need to give their heads a wobble. We are in an absolute mess, "exciting" names aren't going to come in at immediate notice to a relegation fight in January.

Sorry but they’re all CL level coaches why would they come here? Ancelotti got sold a lie, these guys won’t. Also not many in-work managers want to snake off mid season. Think you’re reaching a bit there mate. Allegri ffs

 

[Papa Shango]

This isn't Rudi Garcia.

 

[Charles Plastusz]

To be fair to TFG my sources tell me they only turned to davey after Lukakus mum failed to bring Howard Kendall back for his fourth reign

 

[Bryan+]

So who then?

I’ve no idea - there is a wealth of young, exciting and talented managers out there in Europe that TFG should have ear marked for future success. Maybe Dyche knew something we didn’t and that they don’t have a clue?
