• I\'m not an anti-Moyes type fan, he\'s done a steady job for this club since he took over from Dyche and he is a far superior manager than Sean Dyche.rnrnWe can\'t however get ourselves into this mindset that any kind of change going forward now is bad for the club.rnrnWe have become a fanbase that is always thinking of the catastrophic worst-case scenario, we have become that mentally scarred by relegation battles over the years that many just want to feel a constant comfort blanket.rnrnThe new stadium should really be signalling now the birth of a new 21st Century Everton Football Club and should be the dawn of a new era. rnrnThis club has been to one Cup Final in 31 years, for heaven\'s sakes, is that really the standard we want now?...

• I think he is a terrific manager and I really like the ways his team plays, don't quite know why he made the decision so early and had he waited it looks like his team could qualify for the Champions league. There are obviously plenty of rumours as to where he might be going, many saying he is going back to the club he spent 12 years Athletic Bilbao. Other rumours have suggested Chelsea or Palace I don't think he would fancy either. I know him and Moyes went out to dinner when both clubs were in America for pre season. I wonder would Moyes move upstairs and let Iriola take over the first team. I have said for a while we need someone to oversee our whole coaching set up from the youngsters right up to the U21s I think Moyes would be perfect for that job. But I think the deal for Iriola is already done and alas I don't think that deal includes Everton....

• More context...rnrnAsked why he had decided to leave Bournemouth at the end of his third season at Vitality Stadium, Iraola said: “It has been a decision that has taken me a lot of time to take.rnrn“It has not been a clear decision. Always during this process, this season, I've been talking to the club about the situation.rnrn“They were very aware that this could happen and there is not always one main reason.rnrn“I think the decision I've taken is because probably I don't want to risk the feeling I have right now of pride and satisfaction of these three seasons.rnrn“And you try to envisage yourself in a possible fourth season, in a possible fifth season. Everything costs more.rnrn“We, as human beings, get tired of always watching the same faces. And I suppose I've decided that this was the right moment to put an end to this journey that for me has been really, really special.rnrn“The club is in a great place. I have things in this club tha...

• I\'d snatch your hand off for this guy!!rnrnIf he goes to a \'big club\' and does well then he\'s out of our reach forever, or at least until he\'s past his best. If he\'s \'open to talks\' then sit down with him and make a sensible offer, as said, he\'d definitely give our young players a better opportunity. rnrnMoyes has done a good job for us and I wouldn\'t get rid for just anyone, but Iraola looks like he could become a genuinely top manager. And he\'s still hungry....
