David Moyes | Everton again?

[SilentWitness]

Apparently talk of Moyes with Carsley as assistant. That wouldn't be a bad appointment.

Sounds pretty much perfect for where you are right now.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Would be bit odd to see Moyes back at Everton but also kinda special. Him being the manager at the last game at Goodison Park after 12 years away from club. Think Moyes is possibly perfect to keep them up, spend another 2/3 seasons there before they get bored of his football and go for someone more modern like West Ham did with Potter eventually.

They're battling relegation and don't think Fonseca would have advantage over Moyes in that situation.

 

[Norris Cole]

Putting aside any rivalries with Everton

It would be a really feel good story to see him back at Everton and keep them up and do well over next couple of seasons.

Would be a hell of a send off to Goodison if he keeps them up

You’d think but reading the Everton forum the vast majority can’t stand him

Tbf it's a mix of things. He said some stuff when he went to United which ruffled people the wrong way including those silly bids + it isn't an inspiring choice for a lot of people. I think both are fair.

How would you feel about him returning?

I'd rather someone else that is a bit sexier like Fonseca or Schmidt.

I think the possible Carsley link makes it a bit more interesting. I think that Moyes will keep us up but as said, it's not very inspiring.

 

[Gazza]

Moyes currently on call with Victor Anichebe trying to tempt him out of retirement for one last dance

 

[Adz_99]

Everton going back to Moyes is hilarious after all the grief they gave us in 2014.

 

[RedRocket9908]

I thought the people linking Moye's with the Everton job were joking but according to the Daily Mail it might happen

Ornstein has also suggested he is one of our top options.

It was hilarious that at the time Everton fans thought Moyes was holding them back from greatness, given their subsequent history.

 

[cj_sparky]

Always seem to remember Everton players talking about how refreshing Martinez was as a manager after Moyes, how his main focus was to play to the strengths of the team and how they could hurt opposition teams. Rather than Moyes being about how they could set up to stop teams and nullify their strengths.

They were brilliant at times under Martinez in 13/14 season but meh over next 2 seasons and he got sacked. Also I may be wrong but don't think they played great stuff except for that first season.

Yeah, they played really well in his first season from memory.

Moyes came across the same with us, he would often speak about making it hard for teams coming to Old Trafford and talking up their strengths rather than our own.

I think he'd be a decent short term option for Everton though.

 

[Gandalf]

It makes little sense for him to go back on the face of it. He is not a million miles away from Dyche in style and once he has secured Evertons survival where exactly does he go from there? I cannot imagine the sort of football he would be serving up going over terribly well with the fans and if the new owners have any real ambition they should not want him either. I get that he is ideal for the job til the end of the season but that is precisely the sort of appointment he said he was no longer interested in. Seems to be a head scratcher on both sides.

 

[Hephaestus]

Everyone has their own preferred source. Personally I asked a Magic 8 Ball whether Moyes was going back there, it told me to ask again later so that means it's not yet a done deal.

I imagine we are the only club he would do this sort of thing for which can sometimes be a poisoned chalice.

 

[Andersonson]

Would be great for them, a good fit and he would save them

 

[KiD MoYeS]

He's a better manager now than he was when he originally left. He will make Everton competitive.

I don't really see why he shouldn't be inspiring though considering he gave you Everton's best days this century from a similar position and also got West Ham some of their highest finishes this century picking them up from down days. Considering you don't really have that great players.

I don't think Moyes is as defensive or underwhelming as Dyche football wise too, he's adapted well enough to the times and seems a good student of the game. Still more on the defensive side but just a solid manager. If anything I would consider it a coup to convince him to come back.

It's not inspiring because it's going back into the past. It's not quite Palace going back to Hodgson again but it's not someone new and different to the club or league to take us in a different direction with fresh ideas.

A coup? Come on.

Appologies, that was just the first one I saw

I'd love us to go back to Sir Alex. After Kendall (I did my research) isnt Moyes your equivalence?

While Moyes did well for us I'd rather look to the future. It's not an exciting appointment. We roughly know what he offers. It would just be nice to be a trendsetter rather than a club lagging behind everyone else.

 

[Wonder Pigeon]

Kendall probably isn't the best name to bring up in this context considering he went back to Everton twice and did worse each time.

Moyes wasn't rushing back to football, he said himself he didn't want somewhere where he was fighting relegation, it's good if they've convinced him to change his mind on that. As for fresh ideas, well he left 12 years ago so yeah it's going back to the past but he's had a lot of other experiences since, I'm sure he has plenty of new ideas on the game. But he's going back to the past, when things were better.

He got over 50 points 9 seasons in a row. Since he left, you've got over 50 points 3 times.

 

[Amokachi]

In Everton and West Ham, Moyes has taken two clubs from near relegation to regular European football. It's the safe bet at this stage of the season to get him in until at least until the end of the season.

 

[Rasmus_9]

I know Moyes is a source of much ridicule due to the catastrophic season with us, but what he achieved at Everton and West Ham is nothing short of outstanding! Would be a great choice

 

[portrushred]

Would hopefully undo the terrible voodoo spell we cast when we lured him here in 2013.

 

[FootballHQ]

I thought the people linking Moye's with the Everton job were joking but according to the Daily Mail it might happen

Why wouldn't it happen?

The Friedkins have installed Ranieri at Roma who was actually retired and he's got the results they've needed to get them away from too close to the bottom 3.

Moyes back in the North West now so right on his doorstep and he's kept West Ham up from similar positions in recent years.

I think Everton is really the only club he'd do this for mid season as he clearly showed no interest in the recent Wolves and Leicester vacancies.'

The issue here is he keeps them up but can he then push them on in the new stadium? That's maybe where you need someone not connected to Everton as they'll be grumblings at the first period of poor form there but I think it's very logical you get him in until the end of the season.

That's great for him that he did that, and we were grateful for that at the time but maybe we see football differently. I personally as a fan of my club want to see something new and fresh, and go for a different option and direction as a club. If Moyes comes in I will support him and hope he does well but it doesn't mean it's an inspiring appointment and I am surprised anyone thinks it is.

What is it with clubs keep re hiring the same managers. Look elsewhere… there’s dozens of decent managers abroad, Everton need to go down a different route. Bring in a young exciting manager who’ll try to play decent football.

He's probably not been inundated with offers to be fair. He'll make a few quid, theres the sense.

 

[LukeTheRed]

David Moyes gets judged harshly on here but he is a good mid table manager.. the step up to us was always going to be too much.

Also after the football that Dyche served up - Moyes’ style will seem like prime Barcelona.

Dyche also seemed to really target and have it in for Paterson who I really rated.. hopefully Moyes can go in and get his fellow Scot playing good football again

They’re in a relegation scrap the season before moving into a new stadium… they aren’t going to take a risk.

Moyes is a safe pair of hands who will bring a feel good factor to the club and I’m 99.9% sure will guarantee their safety

 

[Blood Mage]

Moyes will keep them up no problem, good appointment if true.

Not sure they can really? How's their financial situation now, I'm sure the club will be hesitant to change to much in case they slip back. I'd say they are afraid of their lives right.
