I know there are those amongst us who would willingly pay Davey's fare to Old Trafford but I am not among them. My feeling is that the Scot has worked wonders at Everton and his loyalty over nine years has earned him the chance to show what he can do at a club with money to burn.

Am I alone in this view?

I detest Kenwright with every bone in my body. I got my season ticket renewal yesterday. When the lame duck of a chairman comes out with a statement it makes me sick.

If Moyes goes to United, he will win things, no doubt about it. Stop living in the past and stop having tunnel vision when it comes to Everton. The word is perspective, look it up. And try to use it instead of your raw emotions. The fact is Everton's squad is nowhere near as good as United's, Spurs, Arsenal, City or Chelsea and the reason is not "bad management" by Moyes. It's lack of money.

"Sorry Cloughie, we're skint ? just give up, old son"

Who wins the league in Spain? Barcelona or Real Madrid. Who are the richest clubs in Spain? Barcelona and Real Madrid. Who are the richest clubs in England? United and Chelsea. Who wins all the titles? United and Chelsea. Richest clubs in Italy? Inter and AC Milan. Who wins all the titles in Italy? Inter and AC Milan. It's not rocket science. And to say otherwise, that money isn't the key to success in football these days is just delusional.

DM is simply a reactive and ordinary manager. If he were given the opportunity at a big club, he'd be hounded out by the fans. I don't think there are any other supporters more patient then us Evertonians.

The reality is, and I ask all on here who want Moyes out this question, Do you think any team currently in the championship will win the Prem next year? What a stupid question, you may ask, but the reality is our spending is at a level of a lower Championship team, and you expect us to win leagues and cups on a regular basis?

Gobshites have spent millions and have been nowhere near the league title in 21 years, how do you expect us to compete if they couldn't? Like the guy earlier said, perspective.

The money argument has come front and centre in recent months and many Evertonians seen almost comforted in these dire times with this explanation for our current fumbling and foundering in the "competitive" Premier Legaue.  We hear too how Moyes worked wonders to turn things around and improve this club since he came, and it's true that he did... initially at least.  Most of it happened in the 2002-04 timeframe, were Moyes took this club to his personal zenith ? 4th place and the Champions League. 

By any measure, that was over-achievement, considering the limited abilities of the squad Moyes had mostly inherited.  But it also demonstrated that Moyes could do what good managers need to be able to do: make the best of what they have, put together teams that can play for each other, motivate them to be better than the sum of their parts, and battle for points.

Over the next few seasons, Moyes continued to improve the squad, but any further progress up the league became plateaued as the efforts to maintain competitive strength where made more and more difficult by injuries, misfortune, and strange periods when the squad failed to perform to it's readily achievable standard.  But the myth of over-achievement had been created and incredibly, it was perpetuated ? flying in the face of clear and indisputable improvements Moyes was making to the squad.

The problem was Moyes failed to make parallel improvements to the tactics or playing style of the team... improvements that were effective or consistent enough to elevate them higher up the league, and certainly not in the cups, where his record was nothing short of atrocious. And Europe? Fine against the minnows but sorely lacking whenever Everton played anyone half-decent. At the time, the needed improvements were well within the capabilities of the squad, and should have produced results in terms of continued progress.  But they didn't. 

Instead, we had stagnation, albeit at the heady level of the "Best of the Rest", the leaders among also-rans trailing the top four.  He had the resources and the potential results to break into e top four properly,... but it never happened  And this failure clearly demonstrates the shortcomings that would prove beyond any doubt Moyes is not, and never will be, a great manager. 

He would go on to reach a peak in 2009, with the ill-fated FA Cup Final, when his team was gifted a fantastic goal in the opening minute but he had seemingly no idea how to get them to build on it or ensure that they could defend it to the death.

Since that sad and fateful day, the money argument may have some purchase ('scuse the pun).  But before that time, even Moyes himself was totally determined to win against all the financial disadvantages. He showed in those earlier seasons that he had some of the attributes to do it, along with the oft-repeated ability as a 'young' manager to learn from his mistakes and change.  But we hear very little of that talk any more, and if look at his words, he gave up believing he could triumph against the insurmountable power of money in the game. He lost his mojo. And we lost ours.

I still insist a top-class man-manager with innovative use of tactics, awareness of players' strengths and needs and the right support team alongside him would pull back a massive chunk of the Rich Club's advantage.

If it's only ever going to be about money (it's took Spurs and Newcastle long enough and City are still waiting) we might as well all "get real" and give up. And since when has love of Everton been about commense sense and reality?

And that's exactly what we had in Moyes. However, at the end of the day, if you are not backed in the transfer market, you don't progress, and not to do it when we finished 4th was almost criminal. There is a reason the biggest spending teams end up in the top 4 virtually every year.

To think Spurs used to look at us as the model to follow...........look where the two teams are now!

I also don't think he'd command respect amongst their players and his arrival would mean a swift exit stage left for Shrek!

Also Man Utd have three or four 20-goal-a-season strikers in their ranks and we all know what Moyes's track record with strikers is.

I agree with a previous poster who said he thinks this is Kenwright's way of saying, "It's out the door you go go, son." I also think his next move will be to Celtic.

But just as a footnote: 'Appy 'Arry at Spurs is due up on tax fraud in the summer so, if he's found guilty, there'll be an opening there.

I suspect the decissions have been made between EFC & Moyes already; sad really... but life goes on. Transfers may even fund Moyes's seperation deal!!!

However the fact Fergie is a close friend of Moyes may help him get some sort of scouting job for one of the big clubs, as although I don't rate him that much as a coach, I definitely think he has something special when it comes to unearthing talent. Cahill, Arteta, Baines, Jagielka, Fellaini are all testament to that.

The manager you so love has lost to Brentford, Reading. Oldham, Shrewsbury, Dinamo Bucharest, Sporting Lisbon... and in the same period I have seen Birmingham win the Carling Cup, McLeish less than 3 years in charge, Middlesboro won the Carling Cup, got to the final of the Uefa Cup, Portsmouth twice got to the Final of the FA Cup and won it once, others like Cardiff etc have reached a final. In 9 years, Moyes has got there once.

Look at the teams in this season's quarter finals of the FA Cup Bolton now in the semis... West Ham, Stoke. So, if Moyes is this magical manager, can you tell me why hasn't he done better in the Cups? The answer is simple, he is too negative ? Reading at home one up front!!!!! And as for Man United wanting him, well only a man who puts farces on the stage in London could come out with that quote.

So, to all you Moyes fans who make excuses for him in the League, please tell me why Everton under Moyes are crap in the Cup? Before he came to Goodison, we had the record appearances in the FA Cup Semi Final, 23... it has always been the Everton tradition to do well in the FA Cup. Even in the League Cup, Gordon Lee, with the help of Billy Bingham, got us to the Final.

That is why many Evertonians are against Moyes: apart from his crap negative league football, in the Cups we are clueless.

The Premier League of 2011 is a far cry from even 20 years ago. David Barks is right ? speak to fans of any other club ? money now is everything. And though it's surely understandable for every fan to doubt Moyes's decisions at times, not many can suggest a plausible, better replacement. We have no money ? end of (as a youngster might nowadays say).

The moment I met David over supper of fried eggs that Jenny had rustled up, I asked him, "David, would that be one egg or two, and he said "Aigh, Bill, make that two sunny side up." I knew we had chemistry.

But you see, this is the deal of the century for David, I have been searching 24/7 for investment, I've seen the video tapes of the players that he has been scouting, and thought 'Wow!!!' ? this guy is like Bily; something else.

I didnt want to be the guy who sold Rooney, you know the guy he reminds me of a cross between John Wayne and Mickey Rooney, he really is that good, I wouldn't sell him for £50 million, just watch this space...

And so it's the same with David, just like dear old Goodison, I didn't want to be the chairman who let this happen to Everton. We are now actively seeking David's replacement, I've got Christopher Samuelson, Keith Harris and Orville all looking out for a suitable candidate.

My good friend Sir Philip Green, you know he's my friend and therefore a friend of Everton, is having a word with Sir Alan Sugar as we speak, he is looking for an apprentice in the mould of David, someone who gets us playing like the days when I stood in the Boys Pen fending off the older boys trying to pick my pocket.

The money will be in the bank tomorrow, trust me.
