Manager for next season

[KevinGage]

I think given our current situation, if someone like Moyes genuinely DOES want to come, then it's a gift from God.  I simply cannot understand why anyone wouldn't want him here.  Then again it's all about opinion...

And that's the key point. Personally, I think Moyes could be considered a "safe" choice, whatever that means, but little charisma and a rather dull character.

Where's the flair for a Bilic or Flores?

We can have a more adventurous manager once we're up and stable. The only fear for me is we do exactly the same we did with MON, which is not ditch him when we're on the rise. Five years of Moyes frightens me but right now he's probably the best or safest we can hope for. Beggars can't be choosers..

Five years of the Championship/ Van-o-rama drama scares me more, so I'll take Moyes, thanks very much.

I'd want a slightly more reliable source than Darren Lewis though, which is the only place this rumour has come from.

I don't ever recalling him calling one right before, even when it concerns Tottingham or West Ham, the two clubs he power wanks over.

After getting rid of Sherwood, and when beggars 'could' be choosers, I wouldn't have touched Moyes with a bargepole.
Now when beggars can't be choosers, I'd take him in a shot.

In an ideal world I'd love to see what Remi could have done with some funds and without the power struggle going on in both the boardroom and training ground.

To me appointing Moyes is a fantastic opportunity. A very decent manager who really wants the job is just too good a opportunity to let slip.

How true is it? Also what is the situation with Remi?

[phantom limb]

If Moyes is willing to take the job then we should do everything possible to get him in, and back him. While they were moaning near the end of his reign, all of the Everton fans I know say they'd have him back in place of Martinez no problem.

Given all that has transpired with us appointing Moyes would be greeted in much the same way MON was received when he rolled into B6

[citizenDJ]

As well as being a fairly remarkable coup, David Moyes would also fit that rare position of 'knowing the Championship' AND being able to hold his own in the Premier League.

If it's possible, I think he would be just about the best possible option for us.

I'd have liked a more progressive manager than Moyes to be honest, but that said it he did come he would have some "clout" to dictate his terms to the club rather than some of the other candidates who you'd be worried would toe the club line too much.He would attract PL clubs interest still so if he did come you would hope he would put down a few demands to the board and not be in the TSMI/II, Sherwood/Garde yesman catagory

Sadly I think this story is a figment of Darren Lewis's imagination.  Not a word of support for it from any other source. Pity, Moyes might be the answer.

It's in the Express as an exclusive as well as the Mirror.

[Ian.]

I get the impression it is a non-story too. It's gone a bit quite on all fronts.

I would hope that if it is true that things are being kept private. We have someone in the job right now so the club or Moyes shouldn't be commenting. But it's not that outlandish a suggestion given that there would be significant upside for both parties. Manager of a properly run Aston Villa will be a very attractive proposition to someone. It would be a great if the new board can sell that vision to someone like Moyes.

I wouldn't surprise me if Bertstien and Little did get together the name they would come up with would be Moyes

[West Derby Villan]

Brian, please let me dream a little longer please, pretty please!

Given where we are right now 5 years of Moyes is not frightening at all. There is a lot more to be frightened about.

Sorry Ads I did not know about the Express story.  I stopped reading that organ when Giles (Peter not Johnny or Ashley) retired.
