Moyes and Pienaar
Comments (24)
Moyes is quick to state to Pienaar about Everton being the right club for him with many leaving and failing. I think he needs to show his own commitment by stating '"I will be the Everton boss for as long as the fans want me."
I feel his response to the links for the Manager's Job at Man U was a 'come and get me' comment.

Please alo explain how his reliance on our fans to stay indicates a come and get me plea?, surely he would say I am the Everton boss until I get a better deal etc, you see the problem with your assumption?
Hardly "come and get me" is it?
I also believe that the squad he has assembled is the nearest we have had to the Kendall squad of the mid 80's and I am sure they will challenge for honours next year. I am also immensely proud of the way we conduct ourselves as a club and of the style of football we play, leading us to be compared to Barcelona at the weekend (I know it has been a long time coming) and enjoying statistics that see our best players kicked off the park every week.
Not all Toffeewebbers are fantasy football types or moaners. I like a rant like the best of them sometimes but overall I'm proud of our club, our team, our manager and I'm really excited about our prospects for next year. By the way, did anyone watch the RS last night? Not a single shot on target. Like watching paint dry.
I completely agree with you and after criticising a bit accept that our problems in the first half of the season were small squad and too many injuries. With the benifit of 20:20 Moyes and his team have done brilliantly. I always said that it was the recovery that would show his true ability and he has produced the beef.
I'd be desperately sorry to see him go because it would be a disaster for us but I'd wish him well.
I do doubt his potential as a European style manager suitable for Man United?
Yes, the RS showed how to play away in Europe but came partially unstuck. Totally, totally negative.
He is the one who signed all those players though lets not forget.
Turn the clock back 7 years, say to any incoming manager you are at Everton football club one of the most famous clubs in football, but all you have to do is keep us in the Prem.
Don't worry about winning things, the style of play is irrelevant, the present board like the supporters are pliant so you can learn your trade here, the pressure is minimal, just keep your nose clean avoid scandal we'll bump your money up after a few years and who knows one day Man U might come knocking.
In my opinion 9 out of 10 managers would have us at least where we are now.
It'll be very different if he moves up the East Lancs Rd.
Dithering Davey is another unfair portrayal of a man whose slow moves in the transfer market have to be seen in the context of a system completely dominated by spending power. Moyes apparently spends a good deal of time between windows making careful assessments of character and attitude as well as ability, and yes this is a methodical process. However, when it comes to signing players you need the money up front to get the signature ahead of Harry Redknapp.
In my opinion, 9 out of 10 managers would have totally failed in this role and would have gone long ago. Moyes, like a small minority of his counterparts, is trying to build a lasting foundation and in his 8 years has made massive changes to personnel, coaching, general play, and not least our fortunes on the pitch. Much as old red nose did at Man U.
If I was a Utd fan I would not be too happy with Moyes taking over ahead of Mourinhho, how many of us new he would turn Barca over? I just don't think Utd will touch Moyes YET.
No-one knows where we will be in 2 or 3 years time so its pointless even discussing the topic, which |i am bizarely doing now so I'll shut up !!!!
I've always believed, with the timing of the European ban and the break up of the mid-80s side, we got shit at the wrong time. Man U were fodder in the mid 80s.
We are a much better team now than when Moyes first arrived, that is down to Moyes, I do think he has been lucky at times with team formations picking themselves due to injury etc etc but on the whole he's done a great job for us and I wouldn't want to see him go.
Manure will go for a "named " manager with a lot of European experience; Ferguson see's himself in Moyes and would like him for Manure but it will never happen.

If any of us had the chance to go to a new employer who could offer you far greater opportunities in terms of resources and recognition/exposure I think most of us would think about it.
That being said at least he knows his job is safe here. Most managers in the UK would kill for that.
