Moyes not the best
Comments (23)
I can't believe what I see and hear. What have we won? Under Moyes... nothing! And while he is Kenwright's lapdog we never will. Don't forget we got around £45 million for 5th place; we could get three world class players for that — not cripples, players on loan — and the best one — players who are injured.
Now the Board want to control everything. We have nothing to shout about 'til we win something. Moyes is not his own man, he is Kenwright's puppet, leaving the lion's share of profits to the big 4 — and don't let any one question them.
I am not happy just to stay in the Premier League — why should we praise someone who has won nothing? Let's do what it says on our badge — only the best will.

While I agree with the sentiment... I’m going to ask you to calm down.
We cannot just lift money from the turnover and throw it at the team (as much as I’d like to)...
70% of that money has to go on wages for a start... and there’s bills (not the smug one) to be paid... fees and all sorts of other overheads..
While Kenwright's in charge we just have to accept that we live in cheap street and therefore have little chance of playing the football we desire or breaking into the elite.
Asylum. Lunatics. Run.
Everton may not have won any silverware (yet!) but success is relative in the land of the Oligarch and Sheik, plus we cannot come any closer without actually lifting somthing. As for Moyes... is it two or three manager of the year awards now?
"Got to keep the loonies on the path".
I really wish I had some empathy with your post but it’s riddled with nonsense.
Let’s start with the basics.
EFC have made continuous operating losses almost every year since Kenwright took over.
What that means is that after income (including the £45 million you mentioned) the costs including players wages (which as somebody mentioned are about 65% of income) and interest on loans/mortgages exceeds the income. What THAT means is that we have to borrow or sell players to be able to buy players. That is why Moyes blew a gasket last season on finding the pot was empty.
In addition your headline totally contradicts the 3 times LMA manager of the year award which is voted for by the people Moyes competes against.
I too long for the days when we start to win things again but, despite the lack of backing, I can see Moyes doing that.
But this takes the Fucking Biscuit.
This might cause a stink, when I say what I think
But I’m just going to freaking well risk it.
I won’t put a dig in, because you're from Wi-gan (sorry!)
Where they play with a peanut shaped ball.
But if I was you, I’d get right off that glue
Because Its doing you no good at all
Silly seasons begun and shite to be spun
From halfwits morons and nutters
Now go back in your room and howl at the moon
While they fix the padlocks on your shutters
As for the "Big 4" & City - it’ll end in tears when the oily ones (oligarchs & shieks) take their toys elsewhere
That money, as Ciaran states, will go to wages, but not just that, it will pay to our continuing debt we have, plus maybe towards DK. Some of it would go to the transfer budget but no where near the £45 million.
Investment is the problem and the sooner this DK crap is sorted, the sooner we’ll get it. We’re not gonna progress to the top 4 without more money... simple as that!
The problem we have and a lot of other teams at the momment is the transfer marker is over-inflated and your 3 world class players are costing around £20m to £30m. The problem is average players are costing fortunes as well — look at the Johnson transfer to Liverpool.
So when you get an £18m striker on loan for a year, thats good business. If Moyes wants to bring in loan players, it's ok by me... Wasn't Arteta on loan to us?let’s leave him in peace so he can have a little nap. Nighty night.
I predict in a couple of seasons it will be a more level playing field, footy cannot go on as a spectator sport the way it is going. The money being spent is obsene and something will have to give. If he is still with us (Man Utd sniffing I fear), let’s see what Davy boy is capable of then. In the meantime, carry on as we are.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
I admit I probably should have ditched it; I was obviously feeling a little too generous earlier today!
Moyes is the Man!
"Not cripples, players on loan — and the best one — players who are injured. "
Cripples and injured should probably fall into around about the same catergory mate.
Sorry to be picky, but I’m kinda lost for words as to how to put down a meaningful reply to your very silly post

And what does "leaving the lion's share of profits to the big 4 — and don't let any one question them" — mean? That's Kenwright's fault? Or Moyes's fault??? Bizarre... [Not unlike your typographic skills which are non-existent judging by the original submission... I rendered it barely fit for publication... and will probably regret the wasted effort.]
