Manager for next season

[dave.woodhall]

What I said a month ago still holds good. We're in the Championship. We're the beggars that can't be choosers. We need someone who can galvanise the entire club. And we're sniffy about Moyes?

[Monty]

'Galvanising' isn't the first word that springs to mind when I think of Moyes, though.

[aj2k77]

Moyes is organised, serious, a disciplinarian and has a track record of producing solid teams.

Sounds like something we're crying out for.

Yes, those are the qualities in his favour, but he also doesn't necessarily seem like the inspiring new dawn kind of guy.

[Ian.]

Moyes would be a great move, he'll be comfortable here and I'm confident he'll rebuild us without too much fuss. Anyway If we can believe what Dr Tony says and Moyes doesn't deliver and we are underwhelming he'll look for a new manager. MON was probably a season too many under Lerner and Lambert was bloody extremely lucky to have a job after that ridiculous spell over that infamous Christmas disaster.

The words in bold is the key to future success.  Moyes is big enough to handle that.  My reservations on others is I do not think they could do that.

Agree.  We are in a similar position to where we were last time we went down and we need a manager like Graham Taylor.  I would say Moyes is probably the closest comparison out there at the moment.

I agree I think it'd be a big coup to get Moyes. He'd be a very solid manager, which is what we need at the moment, and importantly it would send a message to the rest of the English game that our new owners have ambition. Whatever people think of Moyes style, he is seen as a pretty big name. We need that.

As I said a million pages back, his Everton team have played us off the park at Villa a number of times. Plus they always showed fight and desire. I did a statistical breakdown, and am sure his sides compared to ours in the O'Neill period scored more, conceded less and were significantly better at home.

agree with everything said about moyes, number one choice for me and would be a good statement of our intent

[john e]

Moyes, Pearson and De Matteo are all pretty much equal in the bookies odds as the top 3

If it is between them 3 that will be fine by me, my biggest nightmare was Pulis or Bruce so any of the above will be ok

[Nunkin1965]

If we did manage to get David Moyes as manager it would be a fantastic start to the Summer. And yes indeed, what s statement of intent by the new owner.
I've  always wanted it to be Moyes but thought we were never an attractive enough project.
Hopefully that is going to change.

[Chris Jameson]

If we did somehow manage to persuade David Moyes to manage our clusterfuck of a football club I'd be amazed and pleasantly surprised. It would be the first piece of genuinely good news in a long time, I'm one of those not convinced by this potential new owner.

Yep I think it would indicate that the positive claims of Dr Tony are based in fact.

I don't doubt that and certainly not the last part, given how much of a proponent of counter-attacking football O'Neill was. Randy has tried to bring in Moyes on at least two occasions, so for him to be the first appointment after he had left would be a little ironic.
