Moyes for Liverpool?
Comments (45)
So, it is an Evertonian web site, for views about Everton.
Today on Talk Sport (Alan Brazil's programme) specualtion was about replacements fro Rafa Benitez at Liverpoool. Part of the discussion was with "Chicken" and there was a suggestion that Mr Moyes may well fit the bill.
Wondered what others think?

Doubt it, Ian. Moyes is a man of much higher character than that... I hope...
I was really disappointed to see Rafa go though. The RS are much better off without him and that is truly unfortunate.
Jepp... straight swap for Gerrard, I heard... hahahahahaha!!
It's open season on our club with the media tossers. All our best players are being linked with moves away, now our manager with a switch across the park. I don't see any other club having to put up with this right now.
Somebody, somewhere is trying to de-stablise our club.
The answer to your question is I trust his integrity implicitly. Some time ago, when interviewed and asked what seemed to be a cheeky, off-the-cuff question about where else he might manage, Moyes answered it directly by saying he would never manage Liverpool FC. At that juncture it was the only club he utterly dismissed and he elaborated by saying that would be disrepectful to us the fans, something he would never do. Not something he doubted he could do or something he could never imagine himself doing but a catagoric something he would never do.
Good enough for me... so next question.
Bugger, I confused your title with the other one at the moment entitled "Do You Tust Moyes", hence me answering a question you didn't ask at the beginning of my post!
Getting old and confused since I hit 40!
Eye-catching headline, Ian!!
33-1 so I hear, but I think we'd have to consult the weather forecast to see if Hell had indeed frozen over!!
Never happen...
Apart from the fact he is too much of an Evertonian now, Liverpool is up for sale, anyone taking that job now risks losing it as soon as new owners come in. It would be pure stupidity.
All the headlines have been "Moyes urges toffeees to stick" etc.etc.. How could a man of principle then turn around and walk out on his contract?
I agree with Lee. He is a man of integrity worth our trust, unlike some.
I heard it. They only said he would fit the bill which he would. There was nothing to suggest he may end up there. In fact, it was laughed out of the studio
No chance. He would piss off both sets of fans. Remember when George Graham went to Spurs, even with his track record he was never accepted by the fans. Every defeat would be greeted with 'typical blue nose bastard'... he wouldn't stand a chance.
I heard it too, they were only saying it to wind up Mike Parry.
DM still has a job to do at Goodison, a step across the the park would be a step backwards for DM. As people have rightly said he has too much integrity to even contemplate it.
Don't be fucking stupid. He'd never do that.
On a more serious note, I sense the RS have now moved into terminal decline.
It would take some special sort of space cadet to put their millions into that lot given their debt and the current state of the team.
I am reminded of Jim Callaghan’s comment about a sea change. The Champions’ League win that kept Rafa his job for all those years may well have led directly to the permanent demise of the RS. After all their crowing and triumphalism, it’s time for a bit a schadenfreude.
When he became Everton manager, he called it "the people's club'. I believe not only would he defy his words by joining Liverpool but he would also jeopardise his reputation and be dictated in the way he manages by people who are the top of the hierarchy and call all the footballing decisions. He's in a comfort zone at Everton with very little politics involved, that would be the reason why he would not move across the park.
What a STUPID post (topic). God Strewth some of you guys are as bad as the media who just want to raise eyebrows.
To be honest, it would be pointless him going there. It's not a step up. They are fooked.
Charlie Percival. Well put, must be the heat? ... In South Africa.
What a stupid discussion. There is more chance of me having a huge no expense spared party in honour of the wonder that is Jamie Carragher!
And I hate that twat!
Nahm, those liverpool fans would never be able to put up with some of his football on display... ha ha!
Shaun, have you ever watched Liverpool play? I don't know if you were being sarcastic but we play much better football than the Wimbledon-like Liverpool we see today. They are the most boring team in the world to watch!
Charlie, no wasn't be sacrcastic.....errrmmm honest!!
Hahahaha, this is brilliant. If Moyes goes to the RS, I'll streak at every home game next season!

Utter nonsense.
Farewell, Rafa, and no hard feelings. I don't give a monkey's who replaces this classless gobshite... actually, yes, I do.
I really hope that they get somebody who actually understands the nature of the rivalry and history of both clubs. I'm getting fed up with the hateful crap spouted by sections of both sets of supporters and the officials on their side who, for several years (mostly since Parry went there and Sky invented football), have forgotten that we still live in a city where reds and blues work together, live in the same families and even marry each other.
Is Paul Jewell available?
A RS I know actually thinks Kevin Keegan is the answer for them, this was said in all seriousness and without any sarcasm/irony what so ever! To use an appropriate quote, "I WOULD LOVE IT IF HE WENT THERE!"
Dalglish, Keegan, Rush....OH HOW I HOPE THAT IT IS ONE OF THEM!
Never re-heat a Souffle. Proven not once, but twice by the great (first time) Howard Kendall.
If they had any sense, they'd get Pellegrini (now jobless) who did a superb job at Villarreal on limited resources, which is what they now have. Hopefully that won't happen and it'll be somebody with an uncontrollable ego — like Martin O'Neill or Mark Hughes.
Another vote for Dalglish or Keegan — excellent choice! ; )
Would never happen in a million years.
Especially so with the state of their club's ownership and finances at the moment.
Yes; actually, I think Moyesy could leave Everton for Liverpool. It would mean he doesn't have to move, his hair matches their shirts and he could follow in the tradition of successful Scottish managers at the RS.
And when Moyesy joins them, Tony Hibbert will score a hatrick, Yakubu will be seen racing 40 yards to chase down a full back and Fellaini will cut his hair.
And we will riot.
Why is this topic even being discussed? It's just the kopite media with a bad attempt at troublemaking. If they bothered researching for five minutes, they'd know Moyes has already categorically ruled out ever managing Liverpool and anyone who has watched any Moyes interview on the subject would know there's no leverage on the matter.
Basically, it's some upset media Kopites trying the old "little club" jibe again.
Secretly many of their fans would love Moyes to move across the park, they know he would be perfect for the job. If he can get a team consisting of Pistone, Kilbane, Marcus Bent, Gary Naysmith, etc to a 4th place finish, what would he do with Gerrard, Reina, Torres and Mascherano?
Fortunately he would never touch that sinking ship with a stick covered in the brown sticky stuff!
I'd like Bryan Robson to take over at Man Utd, Tony Adams at Arsenal, and the dream team of Souness and Sammy Lee to take over at Liverpool.
Silly post.
Barnes and Dalglesh together at the shite would be a great team; they did a world class job at Celtic and I'm sure it would continue.
I'm in full agreement with Lee (post 4). Why would Moyes leave us to join a ship sinking faster than the Titanic did? I for one will be sorry to see the fat Spanish waiter go, as I thought he was doing a great job.
It wouldn't surprise me if they appoint that jumping fool, aka O'Neill, who will IMO take them further down the league, as he is one the most over-rated managers about and with a shoestring budget to work with next season, there will be only one way the RS will be heading.
Let's just hope the Americans aren't removed from their posts so quickly.
LFC need the dream team of John Barnes and Tony Adams to take their club the way it was heading with Rafa... the Conference, hopefully.
I just hope they don't get Roy Hodgson as he's someone I quite like and not the odious gobshite that typifies a RS manager (or player for that matter).
O'Niell was in the Hilton in Chevasse Park yesterday, with Liverpool Officials. FACT!
Absolute wind up by the Manure / Arse / Chelski / Shitty loving media.
DM is probably having a little laugh at this one!!
I think the RS should establish a new bootroom to bring back former glories, so I'd opt for Souness & Houllier, because they both got the boot. Seriously, don't give a flying one who takes over, maybe it should be the Chair of the RBS. I've love to see DM's reaction if they asked him on camera.
Hahahahahahahaha!
In other news, did you hear about Kaka talking about his ambition to take Tranmere into the Championship.
John Barnes for Liverpool Manager. Start the Petition.
I'm with Barnesy. With the double bonus, he'd stop making those shite adverts!
Well it's silly season and everyone's a bit bored so I just wanted to know what people thought of Mourinho joining Real Madrid? Yer, I know a few will hammer me saying it's not related to Everton but it's a damn slow news day so let's chat about something, eh!
