I didn't say poor. I said it 'wasn't great'. There is a difference. Same way you say finishing sixth is 'knocking on the door of top 4'. It's how you spin it. I remember it being toxic at the end. I think the narrative that Moyes (and the media) spun of plucky, little Everton punching above their weight against the 'big boys' unravelled a bit at the end, but maybe time (and where we are now) gives it a certain gloss. I thought we had some very good / great players under Moyes and some would argue (me) that we should have done better with what we had. That is not to say that Moyes is a bad manager or that he didn't do a lot of things very well. I still think it's retrograde to go back. But we are where we are and I hope it works out.

Formby Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 14 hours ago, Cornish Steve said: At his departure, he was arrogant and treated the club with disdain - as if we were no longer good enough. While that’s years ago now, he should at least acknowledge this and admit he was wrong. Better still, an apology would help his case, I think. Agree entirely. Quote

Who knows we could be the next team he returns to and does the same. I hope so! We need a settled spell of top half finishes before the (looks in crystal ball) title years (2028, 2029, 2030)! Quote

Everton where playing some of there best football in the 11 years under Moyes at the very end of his last stint. when he left we where as competative as any team based on our spending power. He was delivering good bang for the bucks spent. He had put together a decent team on a relative shoe string. i feel he was as frustrated as we fans where that the club just didnt have the budget to bring one or two more quality players in that could have kicked us on. this will be a new chapter that will be judged on its own merits. Moyes is the sensible and careful choice at this moment in time. So the new owners being sensible and careful in there first few week isn't a bad thing. StevO and Sev 2 Quote

Wiggytop Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Dyche left the owners with no option other than to sack him, and the position he left us in didn’t give much scope, we need PL status, Moyes is probably the best option atm. It won’t become glorious football overnight, but it must surely be better than anything Dyche could serve up. Quote

That will be critical to speed up our on field improvement and chemistry. My biggest worry (other than our fullbacks being absolute shit and DCL not scoring for basically two years) is our midfield. Moyes’ teams were so strong there and we’re so one dimensional when Tim and Jimmy are out. Quote
