Sick to death of people coming on here slagging Moyes off, people want to remember where Everton were before Moyes came, and in case they've forgot I'll remind them.... Perrenial relegation strugglers.
The predicament Everton find themselves in is not Moyesie's fault, he's having his best players sold, simple as that. And if there is anybody better ie Mourinho, Pep, Ferguson etc, they are already in jobs.
In Moyes We Trust!

Jesus Lee, your taking your life in your own hands coming on this website saying stuff like that! I'll try my best to take some of the heat of you but can't guarantee it'll work.

Ex West Brom midfielder, he was very tidy in preseason friendly and against Man City in CL, he likes to give and go, keep it on the deck... only problem is: Who's going to play football with him?

Lee my initial post was actually sarcastic btw..
So I believe was David's.
The quotes I used are attributed to a regular Moyes-basher.
I agree entirely with your viewpoint.

Why are we in the hunt for another midfielder when we already have Fella, Rodders, Barkley and Osman. I admit we need creativity but Valeo struggled at West Brom and he will cost the best part of £10 Million. In January, we need to spend money on a good reliable striker and bring Donovan back on loan.

I know your quotes were meant to be sarcastic, that's what I thought was amusing!

Would this be Radzinski who had his best season under Moyes? Maybe McBride who also played well uner Moyes? Even Ferguson had a late renaissance under him. Perhaps McFadden who was woeful everywhere else yet established himself in the Scotland team under Moyes.
Ah then there's Rooney who had his best international tournament whilst at Everton. Then there was Beattie, one good season at Southampton then rubbish everywhere else he went, in fact Moyes's curse clung onto him at Rangers, Sheffield United, Blackpool, and whichever lowly club he's at now. AJ another one-season wonder who has done nothing since.
Moyes has saved Saha's career keeping him fit to the point where he was called up to the French squad. He also had Yakubu in his pomp before injury took him away. A journeyman like Beckfrod got 10 league goals under him. He's now propelled Vellios to the cusp of the Greek side for the Euros.
The only forwards any can argue Moyes killed were AJ and Yakubu, although one has done nothing since and the other was cruelly injured. He even made Jô look good for the briefest of stints. Facts just don't back up this myth that Moyes destroys forwards ? he's barely had any good ones to start with.

Whilst I agree with you on a lot of what you say.. just out of interest.. How many ex - Everton players scores for other teams in the last 7 days? In all sorts of different leagues.
Moyes has his faults, and I can't stand the fella sometimes, but he has done a good (not great) job in the circumstances. A few shitty buys and a few lucky 'punts'...
If he'd had a Plan B against Chelsea in the FA Cup Final ? and I mean scoring in the last minute and not the first ? then I think it may be a little different.

Well said, Lee!! Other teams would never had looked at the likes of Pienaar or Arteta before they came to Everton. It is because of the way David Moyes got the best out of them that others have come in for them. Also, why does Harry Rednapp continually come in for players that Moyes shows an interest in if they are no good?

Why do we need another midfielder when we have the mercurial Osman and the free-scoring Cahill? Oh wait....

May I add to Moyes's achievements, the development of Baines, the creation of the Jagielka-Lescott partnership, the reinvigoration of the 34-year-old Distin's career, the hordes of junior internationals. Thank god the stupid little anti-Moyes clan is restricted to the strangely out-of-touch group on this site.
