  • Ian 206, (disclosure: I am meh-Moyes) Do you think we need a football theoretician type as manager to attract better players? I see Moyes as a Dyche 2.0, better man-management and more effective in possession. Other than that, not a lot of difference. Someone like Glasner and Iraola are my initial interests but others may have deeper lists. These two strike me as football theory managers who can continually inspire solid performances from players wanting to prove themselves. With Frank falling out at Spurs, it isn't a sure thing hiring the brainy types. However, those two seem capable of coming here and building something durable as opposed to direable. ...

  • Brian I posed that question earlier, it does seem he doesn't fancy any of the people we bought, except for KDH, so I see where you are coming from. On the other hand, I believe he said he had input and a veto on transfer incomings. So not sure what the reality is, but if you're right, one of either the recruitment head or the manager has to go, that is not a viable relationship....

    Ian Bennett in Everton have only got themselves to blame, says David Moyes
  • John 65 I will ask you the same question you asked me, what position would we finish for you to consider sacking Moyes. My answer is I think we will make top 10, and for what he has done since he arrived he deserves at least another season. Only Arsenal won more away games, before last weeks fixtures if you added up all the points gained since Moyes returned we would be 6th. Lets not forget the team he inherited as well, and he also has to work with some of the players brought in by our recruitment team. I don't believe for 1 minute Moyes wanted Barry, Dibbling or Aznou, does anybody really believe these are Moyes type buys, just look at the players he has bought during his whole career. We paid £42m for Dibbling nearly half of our summer transfer budget, and he has hardly played. Now does anybody in their right mind believe any manager would spend half his budget on a player and not play him. Had Moyes bought the lad and not played him he would look a complete fool, now he...
