Just a thought. Do you think Everton made any type of unofficial deal with United to allow them to announce Moyes as their next manager while he was still under contract with them? They probably will have done won't they because United were desperate to announce fergusons replacement because of the stock exchange

Have to admit I've never been a Phil Neville fan as a player but he has many other qualities. classy remarks in his statement about leaving. real humility. and though he is not ready yet to manage Everton, his day may come around.

You say that but I had it from a good person, that when spurs came calling he was banging moyes door down to leave

Good thing about Neil Lennon would be getting Wanyama and Hooper

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Wanyama is a good player. Hooper is below average and not as good a player as Jelavic. Good goalscorer in the SPL but his overall game leaves a lot to be desired. Celtic should have bitten the hand off Norwich for the reported £8m offer in January.

GRD

Agree0 Disagree0

GRD am a celtic fan mate and your post is utter b******* hooper a below average player? he scored more goals in the championship same season as andy carroll was in it and Scunthorpe got relegated he's scored champions league goals this season and bangs them in every week and your sayin he's not as good as jelavic haha how many jelavic got this season? and wanyama is a good player na mate he's an outstanding player that could easily walk into any team in europe just see comments made by xavi iniesta pirlo etc as proof. Hooper would score a s*** load in the premiership considering some of the s*** strikers yous have had ie james beattie andy johnson even anichibe isn't a mega goal scorer

11 May 2013 00:32:20
Hooper is below average mate he is the stand out goalscorer in one of the worst leagues if not the worst league in europe he can't head the ball has no physical presence does not work hard and cannot use his left foot cannot beat a man and he would score loads in the prem? I doubt it as he would be very lucky to get 10 goals in all competitions and so what about Scunthorpe? Who are they and scoring more than carrol isn't saying much. even torres has done that

Agree0 Disagree0

BlueSkittle your top scorer is a midfielder so what does that tell u mate guarentee hooper would score more than 10 goals in all competitions lol guy scores for fun slag the spl as usual haha its the only argument english fans ever have about us because everton r a top top team aye? we play in the spl and been 2 last 16 of the cl countless times got 2 the uefa cup final beatin your neighbours easily and only beat in extra time 2 a team who went onto win the cl the next season in porto what's everton done past 10 years in europe? nothing mate yous r a top 7/8 team at best moyes was ther 10 seasons and yous still never done anything 1 fa cup final countless s*** cup runs and europa runs and bottled it in the only champions league qualifier yous have had total arrogant u slag our league yet we got our cl group with 10 points and man city couldn't even get 1 victory in 6 games lol we can't be that bad coming from a s*** league

GBhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

GBhy,

Thanks for your response. You won't change my mind though as I have watched Hooper many times and he contributes zero to a game 95% of the time. This is the big leagues son not the Scottish Pub League. And tone down the swearing, the Everton page has class.

PS Wanyama is not outstanding. He could become an excellent player but still has a lot of work to do.

GRD

Agree0 Disagree0

Wow, I used to like Celtic but if their fans are anything to go on this tit GBhoy then I wouldn't mind seeing them do a Rangers. Celtic are a big fish in a small pond, nothing more. I've seen more quality in Sunday League games than in the SPL. Completely agree with skittle on Gary Hooper, he'd probably be absolute garbage in the Prem as he hasn't got much to his game at all. Celtic were extremely lucky to get to the last 16 of the Champions League, on another day Barca could have beat them 5-1, there was no class involved in that win just pure luck. Oh by the way GBhoy, Rangers were always the better team.

No, Rene Giraud, the coach of Montpellier, who managed them to the league title last season. Out of contract, wants to coach in the PL, has won trophies, can work on a budget, gets the best out of his players.

David moyes had little experience big dunc is earning great reviews from finch farm. His dedication has surprised a lot of people. Everyone needs a chance {Ed025's Note - we are a different side, in different times now mate, we have moved on..

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed25 you really are in dream land. Different times? You still have no money and you are continuously punching above your weight thanks to the manager you got from Preston north end. Open your eyes, unless the blue team Jose loves is Everton then know your limits. Lennon would be a great appointment, hope he doesn't go but you could do worse. He'd do everything for your club. Clubs like celtic, Everton and even Man U need that, not some foriegn cheque book coach who doesn't understand the values {Ed025's Note - i may be in dreamland mate, but i see lennon as a nightmare.. :)

Agree0 Disagree0

10 May 2013 20:30:36
Lets go for big dunc. It's a big shout but would prefer him before Lennon. He will have the back room staff there. Work with evertonians who know the club. Irvine, weir, Stubbs, sheedy. let's give the big man a chance {Ed025's Note - too inexperienced mate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Moyes has taken us further than that now we need an experienced manager who can take us even further

Agree0 Disagree0

Lennon is a poor manager in a poor league, check their form for this season worst in Celtics SPL history. The whole club are living off a champions league campaign where they rode their luck nothing else.

Best of luck in your hunt for a good manager but avoid Lennon at all costs!

I don't want Neil Lennon my 1st choice manager but he would be in my top 5. Even if he does come I will support him and so should everybody else, everybody is saying he's crap before he's even arrived. Be patient blues were not going to replace David Moyes in a week, we have to be patient only time will tell who takes over, but we will support him!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I'm a Rangers fan and I will even admit that Lennon is a good manager (for the most part) with a lot of potential. But the way he conducts himself let's him down immensely imo. Not fit to manage a great club like Celtic, or Everton for that matter.

Whatever peoples reservations about the Moyes era, he brought integrity and hard work and enthusiasm to each day. He may have frustrated us with tactics at times but there is no doubt he steadied the boat and was gradually bringing us to become European contenders with so little to go shopping with. He deserves a really great ovation for all he brought, and I think it would be terribly sad if a minority of voices against were to be heard this sunday. He deserves respect and applause and you never know, he could be back one day.

There is a lot of press and twitter noise but it is just that.

EFC will draw up a shortlist methodically over the next week or so, taking soundings within the club (including Moyes), from fans and from trusted external parties on potential candidates and characteristics.

One critical factor will be the desire to maintain continuity in the analytics, sports science/medical, u-21, u-18 and academy lstructures and build on what Moyes has done, not start again. Any incoming manager may be limited in the staff they can bring in, perhaps just an assistant/first team coaches.

Interviews will be arranged starting after the season ends. There is unlikely to be a "shortlist of one".

If things go smoothly a manager will be in place by the end of the month at the latest well in time.

This will not be a rush job and nor should it be. I am sure some of the names being touted will be getting discussed. Some may make the shortlist. One might even get the job. but not because the media are promoting A or B and certainly not because some bookie on the make sees a chance to create a market and drag in money from the gullible.

"I wish Sir Alex a happy life, and I wish David a successful career, " tv quotes Mourinho as saying. "I think David is a great choice. I like him as a person, I like his character as a manager.

"I believe Manchester United will support him, I think he has the qualities to do a good job. We are good friends, and my good friends know which club I would like to manage when I finish my work at Real Madrid. "

Have to say I am disgusted with what some Everton fans are saying about Lennon bringing politics into it calling him a republican c. t and all sorts. I recall Lennon having to quit playing for Northen Ireland because of death threats on his life and his family and all that crap he put up with in Scotland if don't want Lennon fair enough he is not my first choice either but make your decision on football terms and not personal terms. But if does get the job I will support him like anybody else who comes in. And by the way I did not see them posts about him on here it was on another website that I will not name but was disgusted by it. Stef the blue {Ed025's Note - i would be as well stef..

I don't see why you don't want Lennon but I'm happy about that. I don't think it would be a good choice for him to go there because you are never going to win th BPL. The best you'll do is top 4 whereas at Celtic he would be competing against the best teams in the world in the CL {Ed025's Note - but if playing against kilmarnock, and inverness week in week out is your goal...your not for us mate..

My nephew's under 7s team could win the spl, it really doesn't say much about celtic and neil lennon

Agree0 Disagree0

The SPL (with all due respect )

has no fear factor in European and definitely not world football.

It's only current attraction is Celtic and I want to get this in realistic perception without exaggeration :

Put QPR (with their resources as I type) in the conference league and they would win it every season. However their manager/coach could be as mediocre as they come!

So consequently would have no real credibility.

Lennon needs to take on a more challenging job before I would even consider him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed25. And what's your goal? Playing Hull? Stoke?. Getting to the quarter finals of FA cup? Trying to finish 6th at the most? Wait another 18 odd years for a bit of silverware. FFS we know we've not got the greatest league in the world but we are all football fans and love the game. No need to be so high and mighty. The arrogance of some EPL supporters amazes me, take away Sly money and Rich sugar daddy owners and some clubs would be nothing. {Ed025's Note - you cant deny your league is weak mate, for me we need an experienced manager, who has performed at the top level, which rules him out..

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed25 the champions league is the highest level. What more does he need to do. I hope he doesn't go bit you make me laugh, had moyes managed at highest level when you took him from Preston north end. Reality check I think. You sound like utd fans unhappy about moyes appointment and we all know how could a manager moyes is

Eds can you or anyone else answer this for me. forget the rest of the board (some of whom are acute, successful business men). and take away the fact that I admire that we have a chairman who is actually a fan of the club. We have a chairman who has a successful theatre production company, who has contacts with some of the countrys greatest business minds (mr philip green for example). how do you let one of yor prized assets contract to end without trying to negotiate with him at least 6 mths before his contract runs out. For arguements sake let's say as a sucessful business man united weigh the risk of losing said asset. you also have to assess the impact and subsequently begin to develop a plan for moving forward, i. e. a successor. putting this together with the drivvel that was recorded between Bill and Blue square guys, how is it possible that our chairman and board remain successful in other businesses but appear incompetent at the EFC level? I am completely baffled.

Secondly, why are the rest of the board members there? I believe they have a combined wealth in excess of 1billion dollars - surely a bung (loan) of 30-50 mill is not outside the realms of possibility - and would have secured DMs services months ago, such that if Manchester United did come for him there would have been a hefy pay-off

Confused and daised jlaff {Ed025's Note - they are not supporters jlaff, they are businessmen..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Jlaff again ed025. that's what I don't get - their repsonse / behaviour / actions over the last 6 month (when DM announced would talk at end of season) seems unbelievably naieve for seasoned business man. that's why I am baffled. A novice would identify that there is a risk and they should identify possible solutions. DM was a known quantity - anyone we bring in is an unknown. that means there is inherently more of a risk of the club going backwards. If they had started to explore their options months ago then it would have steadied the ship somewhat upon DMs, then only possible, departure. {Ed025's Note - i know what you mean mate..

Agree0 Disagree0

Everton have put a spin on the story as usual. Moyes probably said if you get me funds I will stay. They've strung him along since january but have not come up with any new investment. Don' t blame him for leaving. Now
Kenright is saying is all a total shock. The reason they want so much for the club is that Philip Green wants such a big exit fee on his loan

Agree0 Disagree0

10 May 2013 17:19:27
Martin O Neill all the way. Best candidate by a long way. Born winner. Only blip on his cv is Sunderland but let's face it who could turn them round. Don't know why so many are hostile to the idea. His record is first class and he won't take any bull from board like moyes did eg aston villa {Ed025's Note - are you a red?..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Would be a horrendous appointment! We couldn't afford all his transfers anyway 20m on 2 players and there fighting for relagation

Agree0 Disagree0

Martin Oneil needs Money, he left villa because they wouldn't give him any more than the 50+ he'd already spent the "2" pevious years before.

Got found out at Sunderlend!

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree he is top manager but not the one for us he needs money and if he does not get his way he's off so wrong choice for me I would like to see jurgan klinsman he is the man responsible for all these German players and the way German football his now he put the foundations in place years ago, I know we probably won't go for him but why not why is laudrup getting so much hype he has won a cup fair play to him but that's it but not ready for a job like ours yet

Agree0 Disagree0

Sometimes they can have too much money can work better with less hughes at blackburn and oneil at celtic and leicster higher fee comes with higher expectation and most occasions high egos

Agree0 Disagree0

10 May 2013 17:13:33
I did read this on another site, but quite liked the suggestion. How about Dennis Bergkamp, great player, would raise our profile and has done a good job as assistant to De Boer. He could not demand lots of money for transfers as it would be his first big position.

I know that we all have our opinions on a new manager and I am no different, but I hope that Bill recognises that we are now a much different proposition to the one David Moyes took on 11 years ago. I hope that any appointment reflects this and that average SPL and Championship managers are avoided.

Reports in Glasgow is that Niel Lennon has had contact from Everton but has distanced himself from the job. As much as some off you for some reason think he is a bad manager all I can say is that I'm happy to keep him at Celtic he has built a brilliant young team that top teams in England are after. Took them to the last 16 off the CL, (which I may add is further than man city and Chelsea) won 2 league titles and is in the Scottish cup Final. All this in 3years with next to nothing spent. Not bad I would say.
In Lennon We Trust.

Really confused as to why virtually every manager mentioned is British. Foreign football is the way forward, as shown by the world cups, champions leagues and europa leagues.

A quick summary of the ones mentioned so far:
Lennon - wins a league with 1 team in, won silverware, but he's not even a patch on Moyes, doesn't appear to be a fans favourite on here either

Martinez - does average with Wigan, decent football, awful defending, nowhere near everton standard

McKay - plays boring, dull football, simialar to Moyes but he's not the man

For me the 3 names which surely would be logical are Pereira, Girard and Tuchel

Girard - he won the french league on a similar budget to Moyes so he would be fine here, watched them a few times in the champions league, they play decent football and are fairly organised

Pereira - won the league and cup with porto in the 2 years he has been there, plays neat tidy football and would attract a different type of player to Moyes, only downside is minor criticisms on subs apparently

Tuchel - made Mainz into a decent bundesliga side, won away at Bayern in his first 5 games, something Moyes could only dream of, better win percentage than Moyes with a less talented team, plays good football

Basically the point is that foreign managers can give Everton something different, they can teach us to play more like the Bayerns, Barcas and PSGs of this world. We need a manager to develop a team in a style like that

I'm holidaying in Egypt and just seen the news on BBS world service. I thought i'd got sun stroke or something. I can't believe it. I'm absolutely gutted. But good luck to the man. He's just got the biggest job in club football.

Listened to Adrian Durham Talk S##t after the Arsenal game, he said that that Moyes would never get a top job. f### you Durham, wrong again! He's got the TOP job! (and I'm glad the posh went down, ha)

Hate to say it but it looks like Lennon is interested in the job

Lennon: "Everton are a huge club with a huge history. It�s flattering to be linked but that�s all it is, a link.
"All of it is speculation. I have a job here, I have a great job, a great set of players, a great support, so I am pretty happy here.
"I have a rolling contract. We�re already looking at Champions League preparation and bringing in new players.
"It�s not up to me if I�m ready for England, it�s for other people to decide. "

If that's not a "I want the job" quote I don't know what is.

He's complimentary, says he's PRETTY happy, states he has a rolling contract and brings up the ready to manage in England question. Hope Bill doesn't read it.

Popeye

i am really looking forward to Sunday now and I think it will be an emotionally charged day.
i hope neville gets the reception he deserves especially after just hearing what he said on EFC website. Might not be everyones cup of tea but the lad has done his best for us IMO.
i have to say we have had a real good go this season but were probably 3 or 4 wins away from it being a brilliant one. with regards Moyes, whilst I can understand anyone wanting to better themselves I hope he hasn't strung BK along.
they are supposed to have a great relationship.
its looks very snidey what he, s done IMO.
That said BK should have been planning Moyes successor once he knew he wasnt signing a new contract. I hope he gets the right man and if Man U come sniffing around for Felli & Baines I hope he plays hard ball and tells them its £50 MILLION for the pair. As long as the new man gets that money I would have no qualms.

Whatever your opinion of David Moyes' choice of player or tactics or him accepting the ManUtd job, I challenge anyone to come up with one shred of provable evidence - that's proof, not gossip or urban myth or jaundiced discontent or feeling angry and let down - that he has ever behaved without the utmost integrity. I believe what he's said today: that he was planning for staying at Everton, but that once offered the ManUtd job he wasn't going to turn that down. I do believe that he has been a favourite for some time to eventually succeed SAF, but that situation has only come to a head in the past few days. The rest of you can throw accusations of "Judas" and suchlike, but IMHO you're letting your frustration and anger get the better of you - but I respect your right to express your views on this website.
I just hope the replacement for DM has the same "integrity and work ethic" (a phrase used a lot in the past couple of days) as him - but that the new manager will be more inclined to use our younger players and more regularly get the team playing entertaining (and winning) football. {Ed025's Note - i dont have a problem with that citizen..

Agree0 Disagree0

10 May 2013 14:28:58
The common theme on here is that most of us are thankful to moyes for the great work he has done in his reign. But there is also a sense of disrespect to our great club from both Manchester United (again) and moyes himself. It really annoys me this "oh he is moving to one of the worlds best clubs". "no one can turn man utd" down. For all he has done (not achieved) i'm grateful but remember we took him from the lower leagues and he would not be where he is today without everton football club. You have lost some respect with lots of us with how you have left our club. Difficult descison was it?. Or 35 million reasons it was easy. Onwards and upwards. Blueboy1878.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Aside from disappointment that DM will be leaving, my only real gripe is the timing of ManUtd making their announcement about SAF retiring. I can only imagine that, rather than wait until the end of the season, they wanted their final home match to be a chance for their fans to acknowledge him. That might be understandable, but I do think it's disrespectful to Everton who now have two matches to play under a departing manager - no matter how much integrity DM clearly has - and waiting until after the final matches before announcing the SAF retirement (and thereafter securing his replacement) would have been the more honourable thing to do IMHO. {Ed025's Note - i agree citizen...it also puts moyes in the firing line on sunday, he may get some stick from the supporters, which i hope he does not, but why could they not wait for another 2 weeks to appoint him?...

Ive said it before and ilk say it again. Paul Lambert will do for me. Not spent much and what he did spend was on Benteke and he ain't bad. Goes for young players and gives them a run of games. Plays good football, very experienced. If he stays at villa in a couple of years they will be challenging the top 4/5 as those youngsters are class. Our youngsters are there already they just need a chance. Imo he's our man akthough would he leave when he's building a future at villa. A ling shot for me would be reidy. Passionate about everton. Knows what he's doing and did a job at sunderland and city. Him and big dunc would b worth a go or possibly alan irvine. He knows our grest club like the back of his hand. Has a good relationship with bk and similar to moyes. can't see it being lennon the pain of walter smith from scotland is still not forgotten. Whatever happens i'm sure bk will make the right choice. Whoever it is will get my backing. Good luck davey. You have turned our great club around and for that you have my blessing. I hope you do well at utd and look forward to seeing you at Goodison. Onwards and upwards now blues

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I don't think lambert leaves villa, but I would not be displeased if he did so to join everton. my only problem is that he is a manager who has to build his squad the way he wants to. while this can be good for the future and would likely mean the promotion of several of our talented youngsters it would likely mean us giving up on the excellent position in terms of talent that moyes has left us in. think we need someone who can immediately just give us that little bit extra (though that is very difficult to find) and then see how it goes from there. if the squad continues to age and we don't see results then we can move on to a rebuilding phase with a manager in the mold of PL

1- get Porto manager

3- our new manager raids his previous club with new war chest. Simples!

Dear Mr Moyes
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude for the last TEN years commitment to our club in which time you have turned us from relegation fodder to a respected footballing outfit living with our richer compatriots
I say TEN years as I simply cannot bring myself to adorn praise on you for the final year, not so for footballing reasons as with the Wigan game aside it has been a very good season, but for the way you have led us supporters a very merry dance with your contract shenanigans, purposely allowing your contract to run down thus devoiding any form of compensation (making you a more viable attraction) which as you know more than most we so desperately need this in addition to the effect on the squad during a very promising
It is clear that this deal was done months ago and I only hope that Mr Kenwright was in on it as otherwise it makes a total mockery of your "special relationship" for the last 11 years
I hope you manage to succeed at Utd without the need to strip us of our prized assets and in doing so show a total lack of respect to the club and fans that gave your shot at the big time
It's been an emotional Journey with some great memories for which I thank you and I will be there on Sunday to "see you off" as you are deserving of it
I hope for your sake that you hit the ground running in your new job as you will soon find out that not all fans are Evertonians
I suspect that you will not have any influence as to your replacement as seeing from the way you sprinted from BK's apartment on Wednesday you can't wait to get out
10 great years & 1 very dissapointing year
Good bye & Good luck

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I've just watched the interview with Kenwright again and it's safe to say he looks gutted. I for one believe he had no idea this was on the cards and trusted Moyes was an honourable man and took him at his word. By his own admission Kenwright was 'not prepared' for the last 24 hours and this special relationship between them now seems farcical. I think your spot on when you say not all fans are Evertonians and I personally believe the only way Moyes will succeed at Manchester United is if he is gradually tutored by Ferguson to fill the glaring inadequacies he has when it comes to European football. Patience is a virtue not shared by those used to continual success.

Popeye

Dear Mr Moyes

Thanks for nothing. If you need any help clearing out your office just give me a shout. I will also drive you to Manchester as well if you like. Don't be too disheartened when you are sacked in January, I'm sure someone like Norwich or Stoke will be glad to have you.

Oh God, that doesn't fill me with confidence. Disappointing to see Laudrup out of the running, was my preferred choice, but hope Kenwright looks abroad, very good options available, the likes of Vitor Pereira of Porto and Rene Girard of Montepillier, both of whom have won silverware at there respective clubs, both of whom are out of contract at seasons end and both of whom have expressed some sort of desire to manage in the Premier League. Aside from those two, Thomas Tuchel is doing a very similar job with Mainz in the Bundesliga, has them mid table on little to no money.

Much, much, much better options outside of Britain, I hope Kenwright looks at those instead of settling for the likes of Martinez.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why not have a look at trying to get someone like Gus Hiddink, Van Basten or Klinsman. One of these for 3/4 years whilst taking Stubbs, Ferguson or Weir under their wing readying them to take the next step.

Sorry, don't recall the man's name, but the manager of Montpellier is out of contract at the end of the season, so no conpensation. He won the french title last season, and has said he want to go to england to manage. Any ed got a view on this guy? {Ed025's Note - rene girard...very good..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yes, yes and yes, cannot believe this man has not even been mentioned in the fold for Everton.

The man has won silverware, impressively winning the league with Montpellier last season, despite having substantially less money than the likes of PSG, the man is out of contract at the end of the season, thus no compensation, and he has even said less than a month ago, that he would relish the chance at managing a side in the EPL, even going as far as having discussions with Wenger about the league, learning English and paying close attention to the league.

Fits the bill for me, hopefully Kenwright can take notice and not settle for a British manager (of whom I don't think any are up to our standard)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Technically Hughes has only failed at QPR. That place this year was poison. Blackburn did a great job. City he was doing a good job before he was sacked for the big time Charlie Mancini. Fulham he did a great job too. He would be good on limited resources. He's still not my pick but I think he would be better than some of the names banded around.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 May 2013 11:34:07
Guys my shout for the job is Paul Lambert. I actually think he has done an amazing job at villa with the resources. He has unearthed several gems and he plucked the young unknown bent eke from obscurity and turned him into a world beater. Their problem this year was the inexperienced defence. Going forward they are one of the most dangerous sides in the league. We already have a great defence but need more attacking threat. Lambert would give us that. He conducts himself well and is a born winner. You don't win what he has won without that mentality. I think he is a better shout than anything I have seen mentioned on here: Martinez, Hughes, Laudrup, Poyet, Zola, Di Mateo, Lennon, Neville, Benitez. You can find holes in anybody if you look hard enough, the only hole I see in Lambert is that he has had an iffy season this year. But when you think about it, he has put together a team of league 2/1 championship players and survived in prem. that's good going in my book. Lambert for me.

That doesn't mean anything as he could be looking to move anywhere, but thought i'd let you know.

I don't know if any other Blues feel the same as me? I feel like we are losing our first chance in years of finally breaking into that elusive top four and the monies that come with it. I think Moyes has worked wonders with such a limited budget and year on year has sold our best players only to make the squad stronger by buying even better ones. He has been shrewd by getting top dollar for selling and then bought players in on a budget. (Felli excepted, but we are still likely to make profit on him). Only Billy never lived up to expectations re high fee paid. Most other clubs regularly buy expensive flops. Even Man U have.
Well I just hope that Blue Bill is as lucky as last time and can unearth another gem who will take us on to that level. Somehow I think darker times lay ahead.

I can honestly say that now the Moyes departure is confirmed I truly believe this can be a blessing in disguise. I posted on here a few months ago that in my opinion Moyes is a great scout, doing all the leg work, watching matches getting the best value for money he can. However he is tactically inept, does not give youth a chance, is extremely negative and plays favourites.

Take 2 examples, Phil Neville and Apostolos Velios.
Phil Neville was Moyes go to guy, right up to the Wigan game, then he was seen to be so bad he would never get another game for us and he announced he was leaving. Now hold your hands up and admit how many of you KNEW he was past his best before the start of this season, probably even last? Yet Moyes continued with his pet player and deprived us of a decent player in whatever position he played on the day.
Apostolos Velios is 21 6 foot 3 inches, he was dropped to the reserves in 2011 despite being our top scorer at the time with a record of a goal every 86 minutes of playing time. He currently has scored 15 goals in his last 32 appearances for the reserves.

Plays favourites, tactically inept, doesn't value youth. Deep down we know its true but he became the blankie that kept us warm and safe but never quite had the bottle to go for the throat in games.

Popeye

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Absolute tosh mate. Moyes did a wonderful job with LIMITED resources. We will see how tactically inept he is when he has a bigger group of world class players. The quality of players we had in his time was far superior to the squads immediately before his time. If he is so tactically inept, how come we are known as the team that scores loads at the end of games when he has made his subs?
Degsypulford

Agree0 Disagree0

Rarely plays barkley, never plays duffy. and like u said, no vellios, no mcaleny. no kennedy. jelavic has been poor this season and big vic only doing well recently so surely playing vellios or mcaleny for a few games could have done no worse than jelavic? and pienaar went through a rough spell, he should have been replaced by oviedo or kennedy. great description of moyes being our safety blanket. hopefully now that has been lifted off us and we can light up the premier league with attractive football and win many more matches than we did under davey.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah I don't get this myth on the news that Moyes gives young players a chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dear Degsypulford, I totally agree that the quality of the squad is the best we have had for a long time buts that what I posted that Moyes is a great scout getting the best value for money. However your comment that "we will see how tactically inept he is when he has a bigger group of world class players" in a way proves my point. He has a group of international players here at Everton and he hasn't produced the variety of tactical displays you would associate with a top manager. Indeed his sides up until recently have been described as well drilled and difficult to break down, until the return of Pienaar and the arrival of Mirallas we were still on occasion reverting to the long ball. On your last note I have never heard anybody say Moyes substitutions have meant we score loads at the end of games, if we look at goals scored from the 80th minute onwards this season we have scored 6 and conceded 8 and if you look at the difference those goals made to the result we gained 4 points (3 from the Spurs game) and we lost 9. So once again I say tactically inept, going defensive to protect a lead is a tactic but not if you use it every game.

Popeye

Hear me out before you dive in all negative. The more I think about it the more I don't think it would be the end of the world if we got Lennon. He has had death threats at Celtic because of his religious back ground at a catholic club from northern island and he never once backed down. He will fight to the death for any club he represents and he won't back down. He got Celtic to the last 16 of champions league. He always gets Celtic threw to the group stages. Not just knocked out early doors. I know that league is terrible but you can only work with what you've got. Am not saying he's my choice but realistically were not getting Di Matteo of Laudrup. I think it's out of Martinez or Lennon. Can you see our players showing Martinez any respect or him commanding respect in that dressing room? Cause I can't. Plus he attacks and never plays 1 up front. D

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I agree all about lennon. however if we opt for him surely we are just getting moyes's clone? passionate, commands respect, never back down etc? I want a manager who is going to play attacking football and will be prepared to make the odd risky sub to win a game. I don't know if lennon is the man to do it. but I agree I am slighlty coming round to the idea of lennon. however I would take martinez, poyet or mackay over him, as I agree laudrup is a no go and I don't particularly want di mateo. useless at west brom, somehow won champs league with chelsea by parking the bus.
but whoever the new manager is, let's get behind them 100%, even if they are not our ideal choice. we won't know who is is for a good few weeks yet though.

Well, its happened, David's going, going, gone. Thank you David, it was a privilage. I have a few questions though. Was it always the case that David Moyes would move to Utd as soon as Sir Fergie retired? Has this just been 11 years in the making and treading water and would be a contribution as why limits have been acheived on the field of play and flatlined at our past crucial game times? I mean, deep in the psyche did this ever lie in the players minds? Compare this to Utd who just went out to win and there was never any doubt that their manager was there to stay. Whoever is the next Manager, pray to the gods that he is as good as the one we are loosing but free of any attachment to any other club. Yes, please Board - give the man funds! Another thought. First we lost one golden nugget in Rooney to Utd and now the same has happened to another gem in Moyse. Everton for Utd - no, only Everton FC and to the club and team I will forever support. COYB

Hi I'm a fan from whom you call the dark side of the park I'm here in peace to say that IMO David Moyes has shafted your great club just like mcmanaman did to us years ago, he could of signed a contract but stated to kenwright that if any enquiries he had a option to talk just so that you could get some compensation, but to keep EFC hanging on and tie this up with games to come is disgusting and should go now, oh I keep seeing that Moyes will do good at UTd because he's had nothing at everton and now he's got money, its sometimes what made him a good manager maybe was the fact he had a shoestring budget and he reveled in it. cheers Pk

Get Rooney for felli anyone going on about his wages is mad. he's a cash cow that's why he's on the wages at utd because he generates millions,. he's been put out globally around the world at utd so that would help. remember felli 75 Neville 40 moyes was on 65, say we give next boss 40 that would giv 140 towards his wages need another 5 mill a year, if are board couldn't generate an extra 10 million in revenue off the back of a rooney coup a year , that would prove how useless they are. he's better than Felliani at everton would get that street fighter edge back. We need more than anything off field success . sign Rooney its a start and a springboard for future revenue. put Rooney in a Chang advert thers an extra bung straight away. he's a star still in his prime no brainier for me

just like to say a big thank you to davy for all he has done over the last 11 years!! But after these last two games its time to move on from david moyes because he will soon be in the away dugout at goodison wearing a red tie plotting r downfall and I hope that we aren't fighting relegation next season and needing three points to stay up having to play man u last game because davy and man u will not be doing us any favours NO ONE PERSON IS BIGGER THAN THIS CLUB the only team I care about is r beloved EVERTON and I hope a new manager is appointed asap don't care who it is ill be getting behind 200% because he'll only have r interests at heart and he'll be fighting for us.

neil lennon has suffered death threats and been physically assaulted on and off pitch I believe and has took so much abuse not football related. yet has never backed down to anyone and made his mark in europe and domestic as a manager and a very experienced international footballer. he has also stood up to his board. I think he could just be the fireball this club needs to waken them from the dark ages because this guy is one tough nut who ain't scared of anyone.

I think we need to remember we have two more games to retain our league position above that other lot.
A win on Sunday would be enough. We need to rally to the cause as do the team. I'm no longer concerned about Moyes.
Strangely I think events may make for a great atmosphere. Perhaps a HK or Big Dunc on the pitch before hand might do it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rooney's on £250,000 A WEEK!! Unless he takes a wage cut of about £180,000 a week it won't happen.
As for the manager, I think its between Martinez, Lennon, Mackay, Poyet, Di Matteo and maybe Pereira. Or an outside bet on Eddie Howe. Laudrup is a no-go because he's just signed a new contract at Swansea and the Everton board WILL NOT pay the huge compensation that Swansea would demand. Rafa more than most would want medium->big money to spend at any club so I don't see that happening.

nice bit of lazy journalism about felli and baines. although I would love to keep them both, especially baines, if they leave so what? we would get around 40million combined. we could therefore spend that on a solid reliable lb (baines is good defensively but we all no his strengths are going forward, so we could sign someone equally as good defensively). his assists we will miss but with the 40million surely we can buy creative midfielders so we won't miss his assits and a striker to score plenty of goals. and a new gk. and this is before we use any tv money and money we may or may not have from jan. when one door closes, another one opens and I genuinely believe moyes leaving is going to be a good thing, assuming we make a good appoitnment and don't knee jerk into hughes, oneil or lennon.
but to confirm I want to keep baines- just saying it isn't a disaster.

people saying di matteo should be our manager well when he was at chelsea he had them playing nice attacking football but also had defenders like luiz terry and cahill making huge mistakes and I don't think we would benefit from him but if we did get him I would stand by him but please remember that he does not do defending

Do u think that everton fans should trust kenwright, I feel that his line on it bein a total shock on Wednesday about moyes and his decision as an insult to fans intelligence. in a funny way I'm glad they've been split up, it worked in some ways, but moyes contract situation been allowed to run down was a total embarrassment, made us look
Like a weak and incompetent club. under bill we've become a feeder club and more as a disgrace its the acceptance of it all. need strong leadership now like Daniel levy stance over modric don't sell are players to utd. there under contract.

Well now it's started. Baines and Fella off to Utd for a combined 40k. Plus Naismith to carry their bags. We really do need to get someone in quick. Sell a couple of our best players, miss the transfer window and by Jan we could be right in it. Oh and don't forget Jags, Utd will be looking for a new defender. Please Bill stay strong act quick, and don't just look at the pound note sign. {Ed025's Note - there will be lots of speculation twoold, we will just have to wait and see mate..

Can one of the Eds please explain why Neil Lennon should be avoided like the plague? To me he seems to have similar qualities to moyes but possibly with a bit more bottle in the big games. {Ed025's Note - i just think we need someone with EPL experience, or a notable foreign manager, taking a chance on someone could come back and bite us in the arse..

Why don't we get the best ever scottish league manager?. Somebody who has won 10 titles, 21 trophies and taken their team to a European final. Walter Smith! Oh wait, we had him and he was s****.

Agree0 Disagree0

I disagree Ed. We need to take a chance and not go for the usual suspects.
Mark Hughes, Martin O Neil, Sam Allardyce, Chris Hughton. All average to bad managers floating round from team to team in the Premiership.
We need to steer clear of these and take a chance elsewhere.
Its Lennon or Perreira for me!

A 6 year contract was signed in less than 24 hrs, of course it was planned. If moyes had any feeling for Everton he would of come out and said and let us start planning, but kenwright should of not let it happen. Jc

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I agree, how was he allowed to discuss this when still in contract, surely he has met with United board, this has been going on for a while, no wonder the club has been destabilised since January. Kenwright saying on tv that he cares about the fans, load of rubbish.

Lennon now odds on fav, it's amazing we would have to pay for him as well. If this is your idea Bill think again, or get some advice, listen to your doctor, you need to keep taking the tablets, IMO not many supporters would want him, I still fancy the Porto man VP. NOT LENNON. KK. {Ed025's Note - im not his biggest fan either mate..BK has said he will listen to the supporters, so over to you bill..

Lennon no please no!

The bar has been raised far to high for him

Obnoxious and no decorum, and winning the SPL especially without Rangers is meaningless in the PL.

Mackay and Bruce have better credentials ffs

Brought through Reus and Herrmann into the first team too. They sold Reus, Dante and Neudstater last summer so slipped down the table a bit, he would be brilliant, as would Tuchel, but I don't think we'll get either of them

I don't know about "a new era" at Man Utd, I think we at Everton are about to undergo drastic changes. Kenwright is devastated about Moyes actually leaving & I truly believe that He himself will now decide that the time is right for him to leave his beloved Everton. He may drop his asking price etc but I think He will move on possibly before the start of next season. As far as a new manager at Everton is concerned, in my opinion, it should be someone like Michael Laudrup who is respected throughout the world and top continental players would want to play for him. don't think that would happen somehow if we named the likes of Alan Stubbs, Davy Weir or even Big Dunc, with all due respect to all of them, and not so sure about Martinez. We are bound to lose Fellaini and possibly Baines, so Everton are also about to embark on a brand new era with I suspect much change all over the Club. let's all hope the changes are for the better future of our great Football Club.

Just as sir whisky nose has built a dynasty at utd and then hand picked his successor I feel fairly confident moyes will have done something similar at Everton.
Everything we now have, ie stability and respect is down to his hardwork and leadership. Everything that's happened in the last 48 hours hasn't just been on a whim and has clearly been planned for a good while.
I really can't see Moyes just walking out and leaving all his hard work to go to rack and ruin without having a contingency plan in place. I suspect Moyes has also earmarked his successor and someone is already in place to take over where he is about to leave off.
Of course it could just be wishful thinking on my behalf but Moyes doesn't seen like the kind of man to just go and leave others to pick up the pieces.

Has to be realism and intelligence in selecting the next Blues boss. Clearly our man from Swansea is off limits for financial reasons, too much compensation, and he is happy there. But we need a man with experience, so talk of Big Dunc or Neville, or David Weir. way wide of the mark. Much will depend on what we can offer a new man in terms of booty for transfers. nothing in the demeanour of Bill K in the interview suggested we might be on the brink of new investment. so if it is to be a small kitty and get the best out of it. allowing for the imminent departure of Fellaini, we need someone who can develop our youngsters like Stone and Barclay and someone with flexible strategies for different opposition. everyone knew we had the right guy last time around. but 11 years on, its such a big decision and no one absolutely jumps out at you among the names being mentioned. Bill, you have our hopes, and our prayers.
