Collision course

Comments (15)

With stories gathering pace that Moyes is getting close to signing his contract, and further stories developing that Ambani is looking to invest in Everton, are we on collision course for a double dose of seriously good news??

If we turn over Hull next week, get Moyes to sign on the dotted line and secure investment from Ambani?. I might well piss my pants. I might even contact a few charities and raise some money for my efforts.

The next Premier League fixture after the Hull game is of course?.. the derby. Can you imagine the atmosphere?

Moyes close to signing a new contract?

Surely youre not suggesting that the endless whining about his impending departure was all complete nonsense?

Moyes has always known that the no-lose situation he finds himself in was the best deal in town.

Close to signing? ... Was there ever a serious doubt ?

That’s gotta be wishful thinking!

I think that Moyes would have signed already if there was a likelihood of new bosses. Think about it, one of the first things that usually happens when these billionaires take over is a change of manager for one of the big names. They spank a truck-load of cash on several galacticos, then expect to win the league that same season.

That invariably doesn’t happen and the manager gets the boot.

So if I were Moyes and I had the inside track on a new owner coming in, I’d have signed long ago to ensure a handsome pay-off should I get kicked out.

I think the fact that he hasn’t signed yet means that there is unlikely to be investment and he doesn’t want to tie himself into a long contract of penny-pinching, sell-to-buy, qualify for the UEFA cup if we’re lucky frustration.

I disagree with Richard, (sorry). I think if (and a big IF) there is to be imminent investment then Moyes is doing the right thing in holding off. The contract that?s supposed to be on the table is a good one but who?s to say that the new owners would not increase this offer. Serious investors/businessmen would do their homework and know what DM?s all about and what he can do and they wouldn?t want him to go.

There are no stories about indian investment...it is merely internet speculation based on absolutely nothing.

I for one, would like to endorse my support for Peter’s sponsored pant wetting in aid of charity. Anyone who seeks to help those less fortunate, by volunteering to publicly sodden their slacks via the act of secreting a golden "Map of Ireland" - deserves nothing but praise. Under these circumstances surely Ambani must buy the club and Moyes has to sign his contract? Anything less would reveal them for being heartless, callous individuals with absolutely no concern for the plight of others? Here here, Bravo etc etc.

If a billionaire takes us over I think I would be more inclined to shit myself.

"A golden "Map of Ireland""?!

Have you just made that up or do lots of people call it that?

Gerragrip lads! We’re EFC - and you’re all dreaming.

The only shit that happens around here is in very close proximity to the fan!

Mike A. The geographical outline of the map of Ireland is analogous with the distinctive pattern often formed at the front of the trouser caused by self-effluence. It is an adage that is perhaps not that well known but does exist and certainly stimulates a mind image. I confess adding the word "Golden" was purely self indulgent - but seemed somehow to enhance the maxim?

Don’t read anymore post after Richard Parker (except this one of course) as he has it dead on.
