• John 43 I think to many fans these days want instant results from managers, it takes time and a few windows to turn a club around, and depending where you were when he took then the time line for change may take a little longer. Ferguson took 6 years before winning a trophy he wouldnt get that time today. Our most successful manager was close to being sacked with fans demonstrating against him and garage doors being daubed with Kendal out on them. Amorin and Maresca have said about inteference from above making their job infinitely harder, when others are choosing which players to buy and who to sell, how a modern manager survives in that environment I don't know. I think Moyes may have had a bit of this in the buying of our younger players. That's why Amorin said I came here to be a manager not a coach. Why multi million pound businesses allow anybody other than the manager to buy players is madness. Arteta has won 1 trophy in 5 years but looke by sticking with him Arsenal may ...

• “Moyes haters”, such a lazy phrase. Supporters are simply pointing out the obvious issues on the pitch. In football, rightly or wrongly, the buck stops with the manager....

• You cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear !! Lets be realistic, we have very few quality players, with the exception of Pickford, how many of our players would get into any of the top teams in the league. I think you all know the answer ! I know some will look at Branthwaite, but lets face it, last season and now this season, he has and will play very few PL games. Has he become a sick note, what would his currant value be ? As for managers, Moyes gets a lot of stick, but we also have managers like Frank and Glasner who are now some of the worse managers in the league, according to fans and pundits....

  John Collins in Absolutely criminal penalty shoot-out from Everton
• For the record I’m not, and I think there’s plenty like me, a Moyes hater. I think he is a stabiliser, but no more. I want more than settling for mediocrity and I’ve never enjoyed the safety first, don’t lose, Moyes brand of football. I don’t hate the man but I do think he’s a vampire personality. He sucks the lifeblood and the joy out of everything. I just want to see a new plan, a fresh vision, under new owners. One that I can actually enjoy and one that just might be ambitious enough to get us closer to the trophy hunt again. Otherwise what’s the point. ...
