David Moyes - A.K.A - Gollum

[not3bad]

Is this just another thread where oodman is saying that he wants Houllier out?

Yes it is.  For a start nothing's kicking off at Everton, and everything said on this thread has been covered in "Who do you want".

safe hands, boring hands,
he's been at Everton 9 years, can you imagine if he'd been a t VP for 9 years and won what he's won, and were finishing where Everton finish,
no thanks

its imposible to judge but i would bet Houllier would achieve more in 9 years at VP than Moyes would

they couldnt even beat us at home on saturday and we are shit
so he aint that great,







i know Everton had loads of injuries but it doesnt work for my argument so i deliberatly didnt mention them

Ah, it's the annual let's get David Moyes in thread! 

To be fair the team he had out on Saturday was missing Convict, Arteta and Fellatio.   He's a solid manager, but I've never understood the clamour for him.

When we had O'Neill, it was probably a close call as to who was the better manager.  Compared to the clown that we've got in charge at the moment though?

Chris, I'm not sure how you can accuse his sides of being dour when you were happy with MON. As Gagey alluded to above, Everton while still retaining a physical element to their game, are far better than us at being composed on the ball and more creative.

I do agree with you on his personality though, he's a right grumpy fecker.

Eammon, I was happy with MON because of the results first and foremost and because of players like Young, Gabby and Milner it doesn't mean I couldn't see the limitations of his style but just that I didn't much care.

I said I thought Moyes could do a decent job and I certainly wouldn't be against him coming here should there be a vacancy but while he is somebody elses manager I reserve the right to dislike it. It didn't do Ron Saunders any harm being a miserable sod so I'm sure I could warm to him if he wins us the league.

Yeah but paint smells ace anyway.

A couple of things about David Moyes. One, I'm not sure if he is sexy enough for Man United.  I can imagine they'd want a higher profile Manager than Moyes to take over from Fergie. An almost impossible task to be fair, and something that Moyes might think twice about.  Two, Everton have the same glass ceiling as Villa do.  The main difference between the two clubs is that Moyes would  most certainly be backed in the transfer market if he were at Villa.  Whenever Moyes has had backing, he seems to have purchased well.  I'd quite like him at Villa.

I still say GH will get us out of the mess we are in especially if we play like we did in the second half against Everton so although Moyes is a decent manager i don't see him coming to Villa Park in the near future.

[JUAN PABLO]

We will stick with Ged .. 

[cheltenhamlion]

If MON had left sooner we would be discussing the why's and wherefores of Moyes first season at the club now. Of that I have no doubt.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Yeah but paint smells ace anyway.

You thinking more of methylated spirits? Gloss for example is horrible

[Phil from the upper holte]

Anyways I don't want Moyes I'd rather watch paint dry than listen to him

*Listen* to paint dry, surely

Can you actually listen to paint dry? I'm pretty much deaf after years of music abuse I wouldn't stand a chance

[cheltenhamlion]

Music abuse? More like self abuse.

In a parallel universe Risso is demanding the immediate sacking of David Moyes

[TonyD]

Moyes would be a safe predicable option.  Boring.

Disagree Tony, Moyes would be a breath of fresh air at VP.

He is relatively young still and knows how to create a decent team on not a lot of money.

Perfect I'd say.

Said this the other day, but even his biggest achilles heel - inability to buy a decent striker (which sounds familiar from recent times) - wouldn't be an issue, as we've just bought a very good, extremely expensive one.

He'd probably sell him and buy Beattie to replace him.

I think he could do a decent job but I have an aversion to that whole dour persona that he has perfected and which is reflected in his teams that are hard working and functional but not that much fun to watch.

Heavens above - I agree with Chris.
