I thought Stan, gave stats that showed that the Everton teams under David Moyes, often finished the season higher up the table when his team had a decent, rather than a below average cup run?rnrnWhen I go to the game to watch Everton, it always feels better when I am going with optimism rather than out of a sense of duty. I have even started missing a few home games during the last years, because there has been no optimism and that sense of duty is wearing very thin.rnrnThe new ground was imo, meant to be a catalyst for a different more aggressive Everton, befitting of the club from yesteryear. I didn’t expect instant results but I did expect a change in the attitude of the people running the club, otherwise what exactly was the point in moving away from Goodison, in the first place?rnrnI hope things change in the next few days, because just like it often felt under Moyes & Kenwright, it has suddenly began to feel like it’s “clowns to the left and Jokers to the right�...
Tony Abrahams in Moyes bristles at ‘stupid’ cup questions but suggests Premier League trumps trophy dreams for Everton

Ian - 125 - WTF are you going over that old ground yet again and again and again again? It\'s no longer relevant. It was a long time ago. It was another Moyes. This one is much older. Even more set in his ways. The oldest PL manager by 9 years. He looks spent. More wrinkles and crevices than W.H. Auden. Who gives a f*** what he did in 2005, 2008. or 2012? What is the relevance? It doesn\'t matter any more. rnrnIt\'s 2026. Last season was misery. Moyes - HURRAH - got us to the same position as the season before. HURRAH - playing shite footy after a big spend in summer 2025.rnrnIt actually borders on desperation that someone - you Ian - would turn to things from 20/15 years ago to erm make the case fot Moyes in 2026.rnrnUtter irrelevance. Moyesturbation of the highest right-hand order....

Ian,rnrnGiven that CV why do you reckon he considers his teams can\'t fight on two fronts, even after being backed financially? ...

105 Annika - of course Moyes was fighting one handed with the financial constraints first time around, unless you\'re backing that Bill Kenwright was a good owner that provided the right financial backing. So which was it in your opinion??rnrnIf Bill had backed him with serious money, then we would all have every right to ask why Moyes couldn\'t taken a good base to the next level. But that wasnt the case. Not even close.rnrnThe last 4 seasons of pitiful ambition of financial power, of a once elite institution, saw Everton sell more than it bought in every season. rnrnWith a net spend over his 11 years of less than £4m, which was a fraction of what top players were going for. Moyes delivered one of the best pound for pound teams in the league from that meagre backing. rnrnThat\'s not my opinion, but the opinion of his fellow pros that backed him for League Manager three times in a seven year period. Of anyone they knew how hard it is to take a team f...
Ian Bennett in Moyes bristles at ‘stupid’ cup questions but suggests Premier League trumps trophy dreams for Everton

John #38. Wigan, and we then went and signed their manager. Hull. And both of them are in the last 15 years. Nicholas - no injury concerns??? What? Branthwaite is being nursed back to 38 games a season. Garner is out after a groin op. Irogebunam is out injured. Nørgaard has not played because of injury. Hate to see what it would be like if we had an injury crisis....
