I do think West Ham are one of the prime sides out of the major players to really make a stab at CL football along with Villa and Newcastle so it's not above their station to think of moving onto a better manager than Moyes but at the same time I don't think the manager they've chosen is that guy.
David Moyes Unemployed | European Champion
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Think they've been on of the worst teams in PL in this calendar year. Also finished 14th last season, bit above relegation zone (of course Conference league run affected them). He's done fine job there and is a very good manager but it's legitimate to be looking for better brand of football as it seems Moyes has done as good job as he could.
Yeah, same here. Lopetegui did okay job at Wolves but they didn't look entertaining though he was there for 6 months basically. Good that they tried for Amorim but maybe should've kept looking after failing to land him.
I wouldnt be suprised if Norwich made a move for Moyes, he could be a good fit there.
Not sure where else to stick this video but I've never understood this cringey friendship between West Ham and City fans.
He is being linked with a emotional return to Everton
Feel good hire if true. This might give them a boost initially but still doesn't solve the massive cluster of a roster they have. I'd still pick them to go down,
He should stay away.
Truly no club that hates its fans more than Everton
Could work, who knows with the state of that squad though. I rate Dyche personally but they have started the season uncharacteristically loose for one of his teams.
Moyes would do a great job at Everton. Granted, he can do better.
Moyes is too good for that cesspool.
Title is monstrously out of date @Damien
Makes sense, what they want is security and he offers that. Never exciting, always beaten by good teams etc, but safe.
He is also at his best when he doesn’t have much money to spent or any flash players to fit into the eleven.
It feels like a massive step back though, but maybe with the finances, that is what is needed right now.

I hope he says no and goes to Liverpool
Let it happen.
I hope he takes them to relegation, then, on the day, goads the Goodison faithful by dressing as the Grim Reaper.

It would be quite funny, wouldn't it?
To be fair, he did get Everton to finish above United once. Granted, he was United's manager that season...
Never go back.
He was never really beloved by Everton fans who didn't like his football and they were indifferent when United took him off them back in 2013. So I wouldn't call it a feel good appointment.
I think we should contemplate giving this man a second chance.
Its the only way to break the karmic cycle that begun when SAF told us to “stand by the manager” and he got booted out of his 6 years contract almost as quickly as Ralf.
For crying out loud, this man’s got Fellaini on deadline day and Mata mid season, some rando from Ajax who wasn’t hand picked by the great man himself got 600m to spend and a third season.
I never wanted David here back in 2013, but I softened up to him over the years, European champion with the bubble blowers, and quite a classy man.
Not once he threw some of our players under the bus in the following years, even though as Evra alluded to on the Overlap, some of them deserved it, they never gave him a chance.
We all laughed when he said “we’ll try to make it difficult for Newcastle coming here”, yeah, who’s laughing now?
When was the last time we made it hard for anyone coming to OT? Coventry scored 3 and a half past us at Wembley ffs, Coventry!
Some team that no one has ever heard of scored two against us in the Cup!
Over a billion pounds wasted later, and we’re crap, we’re really really crap.
What a waste of money, could feed half of Africa with that money, all the sleepless nights, what a joke.
Could’ve donated all this money to wildlife charity or something, build a giant owl shelter, field the academy like Barca does, we wouldn’t have been much worse.
Hijack this Everton move I say.

Totally agree. I think United should have stood by their man and David should be appointed immediately. You should give him at least 6 years to see if SAF was right after all.
We should rehire and then subsequently fire Ralf, Ole, Jose, Louis and then Dave in that order. Maybe that will break the hoodoo.
He should replace Ten Hag
Think it would be a huge mistake for both.
The club is vastly different compared to when he left.

Moyes can do better, Everton are a right mess
He'll get Everton back up to where he had West Ham, no doubt about that for me, these are the clubs where he excels.
Then the cycle of "his football is shite, we want better" will start. He'll leave and the club will fall back down the table, to fight a relegation battle every year again.

I think he's better than dyche and might make better use of the players than most to be honest, I just cant see the attraction for Moyes. It looks a bit of a deadend with their sales of recent years and the kind of signings they're making. They need to be so, so good in the transfer market to get anywhere and its hard to see an end to their outgoings even if they do. It just looks like a poisoned chalice until the ownership situation is resolved.
ETH might be out of a job soon…..
I can see him going back to Ajax if their manager gets sacked. They haven't started great in Erdevisie I think...
Moyes would probably not do worst than he did first time or ETH last season, honestly. I would imagine going through more success and failures plus experiencing different types of club owners gave him more wisdom and he'd be a savvier operator (plus coming under less pressure than succeeding SAF) of navigating office politics.
It's probably suicide for INEOS to even consider that assignment and even if he got results and somehow survived the memes, win the supporters I think the criticism would move to his brand of football being too negative.

This is why I think the majority of posts here are a bit meh regarding an Everton move. They're running on the basis that we are a normal club / the same as when Moyes left.
That was a minority of fans. Never wise to listen to the noisy knowlittles.
