Delighted for him.

Never gets the credit he deserves

He’s a good mid table manager

He's excellent at a certain level.
I wonder wil he ever have another crack at the big time or a biggish club even like Spurs or will Everton back him in the transfer market properly.

It would be funny if he finished above us and West Ham.

I doubt it, there is no way spurs would ever go for him. Plus he's 61 now, a few years at Everton before he can then sail off into the retirement sunset.
 
Thought West Ham did him proper dirty, and he seems like a genuinely nice bloke hearing him speak. Doesn’t really have a bad word to say about his time with us as well considering it was a bit of a cluster-whatsit.

Will stick around Everton and will probably do well until they get ideas bigger than their station like West Ham did.

West Ham did what a load of clubs in that sort of position end up doing. They concluded that he'd taken them as far as he could, taking gambling that he hadn't also taken them as far as they could go.

His record for them was 6th, 7th and Europa semi-finals, 14th and Conference League winners, 9th and Europa quarter-finals. They were 17th when they hired him.

We were making a good go of it. Dyche gaslit everyone into thinking this group of players couldn't play football.

Moyes has made a few simple tweaks and actually played players how they should be played and we are winning games, actually attacking teams and picking up points.

Don't forget he was also one disgraceful decision away from getting Everton into the CL.

Some Irish bias but Jake O’Brien was clearly a very good defender and couldn’t get a game for Everton under Dyche, Moyes bringing him in was an easy win.

He's been good. Every Everton fan thought he should have been given a fairer chance under Dyche and I'm glad he's doing well and proving himself.

Just like he was one Welbeck’s foolish lob away from getting United to CL’s semi-final and potentially winning the Champions League right in his first year with us.

We would have entered that next summer as European winner, with Tony Kroos and Cavani joining us as boost.

Don't get me wrong, Moyes has improved Everton a lot and I think time had come for Dyche. But the 3 promoted teams look incapable of going on any run, and I'd be shocked if any of them stayed up. Similar story to last year.

That's some fantastical mind you've got.

I agree with you that nobody but the three promoted teams should be getting relegated but Dyche was making a really good go of it. By the end of his tenure we also looked very incapable of going on a run under him.
 
When he left the club and came to utd he'd hit the peak of his managerial career. He took Everton to a level they have never reached since. Also starting with utd his own career hasn't exactly been a bed of roses. Makes you wonder how much of the success he's having now is down to him coming back to the club where he can only have positive memories. The return of the prodigal son! Good luck to him he deserves the success and hope it lästs. (Just as long as they don't go above us)

They might go above us when we play them in a few weeks.
 
That was a 5 star performance against Leicester. If they play like that against Liverpool they've got a good chance of causing an upset.

Probably gained a lot of experience during his tough times leaving Everton.

I see the same with players. I think someone like Evans gained skills he didn't have and potentially wouldn't have learnt at UTD. Sometimes a player goes from an attacking team run by SAF and plays say for a Pulis and has to come out of his comfort zone and learn how to actually defend, because those teams do that for most of the match.

Similarly a manager like Moyes developed a reputation for being decent, got comfortable with a great relationship with the owners. Moved to a high profile job like UTD. Aged about 20 years, went abroad, came back did well and returns "home".

Probably learnt more in his failures than his time at Preston and Everton and I can't imagine he will ever be as pressurized even in a relegation battle.
