Re: David Moyes
It does sometimes feel like we’re just seeing his contract out and building the squad for someone else.

Re: David Moyes
I have spent the guts of the last decade shouting at various screens when watching England: "For fuck's sake, i might as well be watching Everton here".
I'm not sure that's mutually exclusive. It's easily the biggest hole in the squad. There are different types of playing styles and what your full/wing backs do are instrumental to most playing styles. So as opposed to guessing what next years manager wants, we fill the hole with the cheapest option that fits into a Moyes team and reassess next summer?

Re: David Moyes
I dunno, Johnston and Norton-Cuffy are both likely to cost the same, but Johnston is 6 years older, and has plied his trade at a lower level. Johnston would be a signing for this manager. Plus, £15m is not throwaway money for a club in our position, I can’t see us spending that on a rb for Moyes, and then spending again on an upgrade/player for the new manager in a seasons time.superpull wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2026 8:37 am I have spent the guts of the last decade shouting at various screens when watching England: "For fuck's sake, i might as well be watching Everton here".

Re: David Moyes
Agreed. There have to be better options for a right back.sam of the south wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2026 9:14 am I dunno, Johnston and Norton-Cuffy are both likely to cost the same, but Johnston is 6 years older, and has plied his trade at a lower level.

It's not like we are signing a Norgaard-type player for the position. No resale value but buying proven experience at the top level to slot right in for what feels like a nominal fee in today's market.
We're taking a decent sized monetary and footballing risk which we can ill afford to take.

Re: David Moyes
Bit of a stupid list. We could get relegated 3 times win 1 promotion and be right down the bottom
We are absolutely the only premier league club whos never been anything and not relegated. The other 6 have all played in a champions league final. We are just like an unflushable turd

No point in spouting pointless platitudes for tge sake of filling column inches if there’s nothing of interest to say.
Re: David Moyes
Im actually enjoying it. All he ever does is speak shit.
Assuming its people putting 2 and 2 together, but more rumors about a rift internally between him and others.
I cant wait until hes gone!
