Interesting how he hasn't ruled himself out.

Sacked you say?  Crikey I haven't heard or seen that in the media yet. 

Vomit emoticon thingy.

TBH, they have a point. If Liverpool had done what the fans were asking they would not be in the position they are in now with Rodgers. (Although they would probably still be managed by F'king Kenny.)

But I suppose they know that they cannot afford a second year out from the CL with their financing structure.

No he has not and he is saying all the right things to throw his name in the hat without making it obvious. Believe me manu could do worse!

[olaftab]

He won't want to take a 'lower' job than club the size of Everton, so he might not have that many options.  I can't see him going to Spurs, but Newcastle is a possibility.

After this he needs to rebuild his reputation from scratch so I suggest taking over from Lee Clarke at Small Heath would be the right move.

His win record is better this season than when the was at Everton.

[AVH87]

He would be a great appointment.

I just don't think he's getting the recognition he deserves for how great he was in the transfer market at Everton:

Joleon Lescott
Phil Jagielka
Tim Cahill
Leighton Baines
Seamus Coleman
Jack Rodwell
John Stones

All players he brought in from the lower leagues (or in Coleman's case the Irish league) for very low fees who have mostly turned into international footballers and are all more than capable of holding down a spot in a top 6 premier league side.

Compare that to some of the flops Lambert has brought in from the lower leagues:

Bennett
Lowton
Bowery
Holt

Have you decided to look at all of Moyes transfers, or just the "good" ones.

Rodwell came through the youth team and Stone never played under Moyes either. But all lower league buys are gambles. Moyes have come off more then most but also they would have come into the team with experience around them. Most of ours were all bought and played at the same time.

[prmort]

No. Just no.

NO!

Doesn't matter if Stones played under him, he may not have been ready, he bought him that was the point.

I thought they signed Rodwell from Plymouth? Maybe I'm confusing him with another of Moyes' purchases.

I haven't looked anything up as my partner is an Everton fan so I see a fair bit of them. The fact is he spent an average of around 10 mill a season for 10 years and spent almost every season in the top 8, often higher.

Moyes bought plenty of shite at Everton, every manager does. Koldrup and van der Meyde, combined fees about £10m iirc and made about 20 appearances between them as an example.

[claret and blue blood]

After sleeping on this I am sure he would be useful in our push for promotion.

Rodwell joined Everton when he was 7.
