David Moyes - Confirmed

[Cozzie]

Still feels strange.

They act quick anyway don't they.

[Raptor]

2.5 years of Dyche mark 2 yay!!

[Gary1878]

They don’t mess around these new owners.

Welcome back Davy.

Deal until 2027 - so 2.5 year deal

Still fighting for survival. Think he's the right choice given that.

Sacked Thursday night and a new manager by Saturday morning. Considering it took us weeks to appoint the likes of Lampard and Dyche then definitely a plus point for TFG.

Let's just hope it's the right choice.

[Shogun]

Nothing like Dyche whatsoever imo.

[Toshyboy]

Meh

Yeah, if we're talking lazy, the Dyche parallel is the laziest of all.

Signing David Moyes is a worrying signal from our new owners.

Do they not have any visions for the future? It's easy to understand that this appointment is all about an history and a past. A history that the Friedkin group has not been a part of. So who is actually pulling the strings here? I do not understand it. Marcel Brands talked about some kind of the same problem under Moshiri. David Moyes for sure can't be the Friedkins ideas and I can't understand it being Thelwells either.

There are no football strategy at this club and I can't comprehend why our new owners accept to go down that road. It's hard to admit that but look at Liverpool who managed to replace Klopp with Arne Slot that most of football fans didn't even know who was. But if you look at his stats and data, if you break down his philosophy you will see that he is good. They managed to do that. Bournemouth has managed to do that. Brightons done that quite some times - while at Everton we are just stucked in our past randomly choosing a name that sounds well in the history books of our club.

We have to get professional soon

mate your stinking the place out - get back to your loft conversion

Why is speed so good, it's the most important role in the club, arguably. Id rather have waited a week or two, got the right person, rather than the easy lazy option, then be stuck with that for 2.5 years

[StirlingBlue]

Ignore his history with us and it’s a sensible hire given what he did with West Ham in the last four years.

Took them over in seventeenth one point above the relegation zone and took them to repeated top ten finishes challenging for Europe and winning a European trophy.

[Shogun]

Does Moyes like Doucoure type players? I can't think of any similar that he's played in the past? I know he likes big lumps like Fellaini and Soucek (and he stopped playing him in the 10) but I don't think they're similar to Doucs.

Any modern thinking manager like Iraola, Potter, the guy from Stuttgart etc is going to need new players and probably ten games to get going with this squad playing in a new style.

By then we’d be solidly in the relegation zone with about ten games left and likely to go down.

Mid season is not the time to be going for a massive change

Chatting wham.

I see the usual reactionary posters getting a downer on things without actually looking at what's happened over the last few days and weeks. This isn't the scenario the owners wanted, they wanted to give Dyche until the end of the the season, get us safe and move to BMD in the PL, it became clear at the beginning of the week that Dyche didn't have the stomach for the fight anymore so the club had to act. This is a compromise appointment that they hope will keep us in the PL, it's imperative that we do, relegation and moving to BMD would be a disaster.

This isn't like Liverpool replacing Klopp where they had months and a stable environment to do so, it needed it done quickly as things had quite clearly turned sour behind the scenes, it's a safe appointment, not a lazy one. It's maybe not the Hollywood signing that some people wanted but it's a far more sensible option than the likes of fucking ten Hag and all the other names that people are throwing around, he's available, knows the club and despite what people may think, is a pretty good manager. It wouldn't be my choice long term and it's perhaps a bit boring but it's easy to see why they've done it and there's plenty of good reasons for it too.

It's typical though, people moaned about Moshiri, so we get rid of one of the worst owners in PL history and the usual posters are out sharpening the knives for the new owners already, people wanted rid of Dyche and they're moaning about his replacement too with out looking at the bigger situation. They've just bailed us out, made us effectively debt free and have huge issues to sort out on and off the field, changing manager wasn't one of them yet here we are with people already saying they've no plan etc. There really is no pleasing some of you.
