The snooker player?
I don't get that particular hangup either. They are top clubs. As in: Quite good. It follows that nobody has an outstanding record against 'em. Let alone an outstanding away record, which is what people bang on about. We have a shabby enough away record against Chelsea ourselves, for instance: One win during Moyes' reign at Everton. And we ARE a top club.I don't get the harping on about his record against top teams. He's been the manager for a club that is always the underdog against top clubs and more often than not gives every top club a hard game.
Are there any managers out there that managed a not top club going to to a top club that had a good record against top clubs? It was not necessary for United to only consider coaches that had already coached for top clubs - am sure it was a consideration but, they've obviously looked at more important factors for the long term success of the club which is stability, work ethic, personality, how well they conduct themselves as the face of the club and the respect he'll garner from the players.
It is not a sexy appointment but, we didn't need that right now. Moyes will give United what they need right now - which is a manager that has proven loyalty, hard working, knows the Premier League and will keep with the morals/traditions of the club.
I am nervous yet excited for next season - a new chapter begins and have a feeling it will be quite a successful one. Welcome David Moyes - I certainly BELIEVE in you.
Doubt it ,he's still a Everton manager.Will there be a press conference?
Thank you for writing this.Nah that's bollocks.
True colours for what? Obviously these fans 'showing their true colours' care a great deal about the club, hence why they're not happy to just accept any old person, especially one who has hardly done anything worthy of managing the greatest club in the world, or has the experience of managing the greatest club in the world. They want the best for their club. There's nothing strange or weird about that. If they weren't proper fans they wouldn't give a shit. Posts like yours exist only to get one up over other people, 'look I'm a better fan than you, come round to my way of thinking or be known as the bad fan.'
People in having different opinions shocker.
Everton's presser is going to be a farce.We'll see how he handles itDoubt it ,he's still a Everton manager.
Collen and Kai were picking him up from nursery so he hasn't had time to comment
You desperately needed someone to validate your hysterical post? Oh Dear!Thank you for writing this.
The thing is Fellaini is happier playing in midfield ,more in holding role, while obviously Rooney has not been happy there. Sign Fellaini and it will free up the attackers, and could see Rooney changing his decision6 years? Blimey!
Well anyway good luck David and the best, now straighten that midfield out for us and put a good word in Fellaini's ear for us!
Isn't it enough that he was Ferguson's choice?And of course because it is on the internet everyone believes it.
errr 18? My maths is poorWelcome Sir Dave!
I've no doubt before the six years is up it will be 24-6.
You never criticized Fergie's decision?Isn't it enough that he was Ferguson's choice?
I'm puzzled too. He's among the few I would have been happy with.I don't know why some of you are moaning, it was always the sensible choice, it has been for several years.
In all that time he got far more right than wrong and apparently the board that met unanimously went for Moyes,it wasn't a singular random decisionYou never criticized Fergie's decision?
Understatement of the Century, that's what happens when you use cliches.Man United Manager David Moyes[/quote said:“It’s a great honour to be asked to be the next Manager of Manchester United. I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the Football Club.
“I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn’t something that comes around very often and I’m really looking forward to taking up the post next season.
“I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and Board of Directors and a great set of players. Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table.
“Everton’s fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players. Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life.”
They obviously think they know better than Sir Alex and the L.M.A.I don't know why some of you are moaning, it was always the sensible choice, it has been for several years.
Thank you for writing this.
I detect a whiff of sexist stereotyping in this post.You desperately needed someone to validate your hysterical post? Oh Dear!
As I said before, this appointment has been long in the making. Fergie marked out Moyes during his time at Preston. My biggest fear - and it's irrational, is that we'd make the same mistakes we did when Busby called it quits. I'm glad we've taken the far-sighted approach. Moyes has served a very tough apprenticeship at Goodison and hasn't been found wanting. With the resources available to him, Fergie's wisdom not being the least of these, he has every reason to expect a successful tenure as manager.In all that time he got far more right than wrong and apparently the board that met unanimously went for Moyes,it wasn't a singular random decision
While tying me up with her fishnet stockingsI detect a whiff of sexist stereotyping in this post.
Barbara should clobber you with her handbag, smother you in her huge breasts, and gouge your eyes out with her stiletto heeled shoes.
Ooooh, yes please. Just not the last bit.I detect a whiff of sexist stereotyping in this post.

The feck? Alright then going by that moronic logic, he handpicked our side against Everton last season in the 4-4 which cost us the league. He hand picked our side in August when Moyes' Everton bossed us and we were lucky to get away with a 1-0 loss.He handpicked Moyes just like he handpicked our team to face City at the Etihad last season, he doesn't always make perfect decisions.
Why does stuff like this keep getting flung out as a stick to beat people with because Moyes wasn't their first choice? It doesn't make you look any better a fan than those you're digging at, in spite of what you might think.They obviously think they know better than Sir Alex and the L.M.A.
Fergie, as great as he is, isn't infallible.They obviously think they know better than Sir Alex and the L.M.A.
OOOH! You Top Red you, how could you?They obviously think they know better than Sir Alex and the L.M.A.
That's likely just a few fans talking shit though. That'd be like coming on here and taking some of the muppets comments as serious talk. We've seen United fans say ridiculous shit about Fergie when he was in charge, you wouldn't go and take those shit opinions as the gospel though.Fergie, as great as he is, isn't infallible.
There's nothing wrong with thinking a manager, who a substantial amount of Everton fans think is too negative, and who has no experience of winning trophies, is not the right man for this club. That doesn't make anyone less of a fan.
But, but...... Brendan invented football, and Moyes is a one dimensional long ball merchantIt's hilarious to see Liverpool fans laugh at us for appointing Moyes when their last two appointments have been a manager whose last job was 10 years ago and a manager whose biggest achievement was achieving promotion with a Swansea team assembled by other manager, and they gave a lot of support to both.
OOOH! You Top Red you, how could you?![]()
and Everton are finishing higher in the league than them.It's hilarious to see Liverpool fans laugh at us for appointing Moyes when their last two appointments have been a manager whose last job was 10 years ago and a manager whose biggest achievement was achieving promotion with a Swansea team assembled by other manager, and they gave a lot of support to both.
I think most people, even the ones that arent really happy about the appointment, will get behind him to start with. And thinking about it, we've still got a solid squad and likely will be adding to it. So i dont really think things will turn out too bad in any case for him to not get continued support.He seems a bit bland, but maybe he's had a lot to be bland about.It's like losing a parent and having a new step-parent to get used to.
WIll judge him on what kind of football we play.
Hope everyone gets behind him.
