David Moyes - A.K.A - Gollum

[oodman]

Looks like its all kicking off at Everton, and i wonder how much more moyes will take ?

He is a cracking manager and done quite well with the limited funds and players he has had at everton.  i think he will do a great job for us ?

even if foolier does keep us up, which i think will happen, he needs to go and we need a manager like moyes to take us back where we should be and further

but... i think he is holding out for the man u job

[Mazrim]

He's not going to get the Man United job in a bajillion years.

I admire him, he's a good solid manager, but he's not good enough for that job.

Double Post

Agree with Maz - he's no chance of Man U.

He'd be my choice if/when Houllier jogs on.

Isn't that what MON is doing?

Seriously though, I don't think Man Utd will have Moyes.

Also, as I've stated elsewhere, Everton fans view Moyes the way Villa fans viewed MON (when he was our manager). Some think he's done great and others aren't happy with the football being played. From a media point of view, they also think both managers are fantastic. I think if we got Moyes, we'd do as well as we did under MON, but maybe Moyes would have the bit of luck needed to win a cup.

i thought everton played some nice football on saturday.

and the skill that beckford had to hit the bar at the correct angle, to make the ball bounce RIGHT ON the line was great :-)

You do wonder where Moyes can go next. I can't see him gettimg one of the top 4 jobs so perhaps Spurs when Flash 'Arry gets the England blazer. He'd probably be tempted by the chance to work for Randy but I'm not sure there is going to be a vacancy.

[pauliewalnuts]

These days to get a chance of the job at Man United, Chelsea or Arsenal, you're going to have to have experience of managing in the CL.

That works against British managers, as in order to get that experience you really have to have worked at, errr, Man United, Chelsea or Arsenal, assuming you don't do a stretch abroad, and NOT be Harry Redknapp, who on character alone wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting any of those three jobs.

Moyes probably would have got the Man U job a fews back after finishing 5th two seasons in a row (had there been a vacancy of course).  His stock was its highest then, and he was always going to struggle to replicate it with Everton increasingly being outspent by a variety of teams.  If we do stay up, I think he'd make the perfect choice for helping to rebuild us.  Generally sound in the transfer market, and good at getting the best out the players he has.  I think this summer he'd be ready to leave Everton as well.

They only finished 5th once under him, didn't they?

Er no.  2007/8 and 2008/9.

And fourth.  I'm not sure if i've missed something here but what exactly is 'kicking off' at Everton?

[TheSandman]

No they finished fifth the two times we finished sixth. I'm sure of it.

He reminds me too much of MoN with a slightly better eye for a bargain. He wouldn't be my first choice.

My mistake - I was thinking of 4th as doing that twice would be what might get him a job like Man U!

I think finishing just behind the "old" Big 4 of Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool was as much as he could reasonably have been expected to achieve.  Plus of course he did finish 4th once as well as timeout correctly mentions.
