Manager for next season

[old man villa fan]

Moyse's entire achievements are confined to winning promotion from 3rd to 2nd division with PNE as far as I know so I really don't know why he is rated so highly by the press.

Man Utd thought that he was good enough for them.  That is a pretty high recommendation, whatever you think of them.

Ferguson did. He also thought McLeish was good enough for us....

ManU's board kicked Moyes to the curb very qucikly as they realised Fergusons chosen successor wasnt good enough.

Probably way off beam, but based on that Daily Mail article I think it could be Moyes.

According to Dr Ghost, it seems to be one from three of Pearson, Di Matteo and Moyes.

If it was Pearson, there would have been no real reason to hold back as that was the name our football board were keen on. He was keen too, apparently.Talk had even got as far as who his assistant would be. It could have all been tied up by now.

Di Matteo was an interesting one. It's not the name that many of us were calling for a few weeks back.  But he has had a degree of success at any club he has been at (aside from Schalke- and you could say finishing 5th isn't dreadful for them) and he still has a house in the area.

There was a suggestion that part of the reason he was thrown overboard by the Olbiyun was that he was touting himself around for other vacancies, and there does seem to be a vaguely DOL air about the man I just cannot shake. Thinks he's doing any club a favour just by being there. His record indicates he has the talent to back it up though, unlike pigface. He was in talks with Lazio today apparently, so that could well be the end of that.

Moyes would have been my choice a few months back. And ideally back in 2010. I take the point about the style of football, but his Everton side did progress, and from about 2009 onwards had more variation than the boofball, set piece over reliance and general turgidness that characterised his earlier years.

If the stated aim is top 6 (which Dr X mentioned in one of those video clips) David Moyes practically lived in the top 6 for years. He has lower division experience too, so I'd say that box is ticked.  He might have been interested in the Newcastle and Celtic jobs, but what other bigger offers would he get now?  Of course, if top 3 in world football is the eventual aim (as Dr Mystery mentioned on Friday) David Moyes probably isn't the guy to deliver that.

Either way, I hope it isn't some wildcard like Graeme Souness.

I don't think Moyes is going back to Everton. And they could have made that appointment already. Celtic was suggested but they just took Rodgers. Newcastle could now be keeping Mr Facts. And as for us, Pearson could still be who they want but for me I also think it will be Moyes. Much higher profile name for a new owner and is somewhat of the notoriety of a MON when Randy arrived.

Moyes you would think in our current position, we would be so lucky, but again as with a few on here, I am just not sure, maybe it is the fresh memory of TSM 1 and 2, yes I know that is stupid, but I would love Dr X to just bring something different with this pick, of course as long as that something different worked.

If RDM is believed to be talking to lazio then it's going to be Pearson or Moyes. Unless it's mourhinio

I'm not going to turn up my nose at either

He's the new Man Utd manager.

Moyes' odds have come right in since yesterday.

Got to be Moyes for me, I think his appointment would be a real statement of Intent from Dr T much like MON joining shortly before Randy took over.

The club needs to be rebuilt and Moyes is the man to do it, he has experience and I think his coaching team are available to join him too?

I know it has been discussed on here before that a manger doesn't need his assistants to be successful but some of them do and come as a job lot, Moyes and Steve Round are very much like that (may be more in his usual coaching team but not sure).

I do wonder if Remi would have had a better chance if his chosen assistants had come over with him too, much for the same point I wouldn't have Pearson as Walsh and the other guy are at Leicester and have signed new deals.

[ldavfc4eva]

His odds are coming down as there aren't many more in the frame realistically, with RDM talking to Lazio and Rodgers now at Celtic there can't be many more on the list.

Oh and Jose off to Man U of course😜

Plus it's such a small market it would only take a few off here seeing the post it was 17/1 on Friday to out bets on to bring them in.

[Risso]

I have no rational reason for feeling like this, he's a good manager, and we're hardly in a position to turn our noses up; but I'm going to be really disappointed if it's Moyes.

[VinnieChase84]

I think Moyes would be a real coup

[Nastylee]

Moyes is exactly what we need. Someone who will not set pulses racing but will get his hands dirty and sort the team out. He's known as a disciplinarian, which of course will be most welcome, and has a record of turning a sizable club from strugglers to top 6. Once we get top 6 we can look again but in the meantime Moyes would seem to fit like a glove.
