Is he actually playing for them at the moment?

He is playing in virtually every game. He started several including against us and his Pen was saved which allowed Brentford to win in the cup match.

Didn't Coopers injury always bang on about how signing Jermaine Beckford would save O'Neill's Villa career?  Weirdly then, it appears to have ruined that of David Moyes!

It's not all that weird when you factor in the fact that he was completely and utterly wrong about Jermaine Beckford.

So you're saying that Beckford isn't actually that good after all and that Coopers Injury was, well, erm, wrong?  Blimey.

I'm saying, were I allowed to without getting banned, that the man was a raving loon.

At some point Moyes is going to have to to a risk at a more ambitious club. Until then the jury is out, clearly he's good at getting a team well organised and difficult to beat but he's been there a long time and they've not really progressed beyond that.

Ok, I'm banning you for that. Look at me. I SAID LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU. You're officially banned now. OK?

Moyes is a good manager, and I think he'd have been many peoples choice over GH on here.

No doubt but doesnt make it the right choice. I guess we'll never know until Moyes moves to another club.

If he has to walk from Everton I wonder what would be his way back. My guess is Old Firm/Scottish national side

Bill Kenwright was just on SSN giving his backing to Moyes.

I think he's done a good job there but familiarity breeds contempt and after a bad start in league and cup the natives are getting restless. I think they should hold their nerve, he's had bad starts before and finished in a good position.

People would have said that we were nuts to want MON out but I think the difference here is the backing financially that the two received.

On that basis, I still think it would be daft for Everton to get rid of him.

He could do with trying out pastures new mind.

Who did/has done better - Moyes with Everton or O'Neill with us?

He's a good manager who has done well for them. I don't think they should sack him as it is doubtful they will do better. I was actually pretty happy that we didn't give him the job as I don't like his teams' style of play even if I rate him as a manager.

I'm also fairly happy with the man we've got.

For the budgets available to both it would have to be Gollum.

He has also refined their style of play over time.
MON could have been with us another ten years and I don't think we'd have altered the way we play.
