Will somebody on here point out to me just why David Moyes would want to go to another club which for a number of years has been fortunate enough to have been able to call on more funds to spend on players....but to what end ? Tottenham Hotspurs Football Club is NOT a bigger Club than Everton Football Club. Moyes would not be going to a "Bigger" Club,but He would be heaping pressure upon himself as he would have to replace all the outgoing players like Bale,Modric,Van Der Vaart,Adebayor....and then what's left...not much at all. But just look at what he has slowly been building here at Everton.....if he can keep our best players,and also allow some of our very promising youngsters to come through,as he always has...then the future at Everton is much brighter than at Spurs. Stay here Moysey...you belong here.

14 Jun 2012 22:39:04
Fellow Blues, I know this has been done before but I thought I'd suggest it again to get away from the good and the not so good rumours which always materialise at this time of the year. Your best and worst line-ups please. The only stipulation is that you must have seen them play, so no Dixies or Ted Sagars please (Unless you're really old) I got my calling in 85 so am a little biased towards that era!
Best 11 (4-3-1-2); Southall; Stevens, Mountfield, Waggy, Baines; Kanchelskis, Reid, Limpar; Beardsley, Lineker, Ferguson.
Worst 11 (4-4-2); Richard Wright; Marc Hottiger, Tony Thomas, Terry Phelan, John O'Kane; Claus Thomsen, Niclas Alexanderson, Gareth Farrelly, John Oster; John Spencer & Brett Angell
BlueTone
No Pistone? Shocking
No Geoff Nulty
What - no Glenn Keeley or Per Kroldup among the worst centre backs ever to (dis)grace the Royal blue shirt?
Cowpat Sid
Craig Short was trying to get us relegated in his last season when he knew Walter smith wanted him out - he was responsible for almost every goal we conceded - shocking
Regretfully (or maybe not) I never saw Glenn Keeley. As for Kroldrup, didn't get much chance to see him either! Re Pistone, I know what you mean but Terry Phelan just shaded it for me. It was also a toss up between Hottiger and Earl Barrett to fill the RB slot. There really wasn't much to choose between them. Oh! And what about Paul Holmes?? Shocking! Simply shocking!
How can you miss Alex nyarko legend for being rubbish
In was born in 1987 so didn't really see much or remember much untill the 90's so going off that my best team would be
Southall
Neville Watson Weir Baines
Kanchelskis Arteta Carsley Pienaar
Ferguson Rooney
My worst (theres been a few haha)
Gerrard
Thomas Short Tiler Phelan
Williamson Mcann Grant Pembridge
Bakayoko Angell
AND THERES MORE!! HAHA
Steve {Ed001's Note - was Speed before your time then? Only I can't believe Carsley would get in ahead of him.}
Some of these names make me chuckle, we've certainly had more than our fair share of crap come into the club! What about Madar, Michael Branch, Stuart Barlow, Espen Bardsen, Vinny Samways, Stephen Hughes, Ian Wilson, Scott Gemmill, Joe-Max Moore, Alec Cleland, Ray Atteveld, Mike Milligan, Stefan Rehn, Jason Kearton, Preki. The list goes on and on! BlueTone
14 Jun 2012 22:18:40
Apart from a certain Wayne Rooney, can anyone else recall someone WANTING to leave our club and actually bettering themselves? Even as far back as Lineker, who the older amongst you will remember him flopping on the right wing at Barcelona, no-one seems to have made it elsewhere. Pienaar, Gravesen, Barmby, Xavier, Speed and I know the situation with Big Dunc was different, but none of them went on to forge a career away from Goodison and win medals. Perhaps Baines & Fellaini should take note (if there's any foundation to these rumours)? BlueTone
Lescott
It took him 3 seasons tho! BlueTone
He has won the league and the fa cup in 2 of his three seasons I think he qualifies mate
I don't think Gary Speed had too bad a playing career after leaving us - rest his soul.
Cowpat Sid
I did think that about Speed, but if your career success is judged by the medals you win... well you get my drift. Fair point re Lescott! BlueTone
14 Jun 2012 22:17:54
I hope Moyes doesn't leave, it would be terrible. But with that in mind Roberto Martinez or Big Dunc would be suitable replacements, Martinez an established Spanish premier league standard manager and Big Dunc a home favourite with no experience but a lot of knowledge of the squad. Also, if Cahill goes this summer, Joe Allen from Swansea maybe? He's young, talented and can be a fan favourite for his hard work and commitment...and cheap!
ToffeeAz
Big Dunc wouldn't be a suitable replacement for Moyes at all, in fact it would be a dangerous appointment as he has no experience whatsoever it's not the time to take such a risk if Moyes leaves.
14 Jun 2012 22:00:13
why would Moyes want to go after the rumours that are goin on at Spurs. Type up 'Bale to' then it says things like Bale to leave Tottenham following Redknapp's exit, also it says Modric will leave after Tottenham failing to qualify for the Champions League an last one is Van Der Vaart to Shalke. So why on Earth would Moyes go after those 3 leave, I understand they would be very rich but there is no good player for Tottenham if those 3 leave, just my opinion tho an if we keep Baines an Fellaini we will be contenders for the Champions league, like we should be :D
14 Jun 2012 21:59:42
Hope moyes doesnt go but who could blame him if he does. I would wish him all the best and thank him for restoring a bit of pride in our club. Big question if the worst happens-who to replace him? I would take a gamble on Phil Neville with Alan irvine as his number 2. He is a born winner who has worked with 2 of prem's best managers in moyes and Fergie. Is his a great professional who would demand the best from his players and knows the expectation levels of the club. He knows how the club works and what we are trying to build and would get the respect of the players
Roy Keane was a born winner but was a terrible manager, so it do not always work like that.
14 Jun 2012 21:48:52
Moyes will not go to Spurs. Why?
The reason why Moyes has stayed at Everton for so long is because he has been given complete control of the players we sign. Kenwright doesn't have a say in it and never has; if Moyes wants to use his entire £5m transfer budget on Pienaar, Kenwright will let him.
Daniel Levy is not like Kenwright. He is more like Abramovich. They have a massive jurisdiction over who the club signs. Moyes will not get the freedom he loves (and does so well under) at Spurs. - BlueJay
14 Jun 2012 21:42:17
Is anyone thinking along the same lines as me, and thinking Moyesy could use this spurs link to his advantage to get some loot off the board? This could do us the world of good.
Skeet.
Yes i think that too as lets face it if Moyes does go they will have to give the new manager some money anyway, so the board are in a bit of a corner on this one.
Mike#
Good point Skeet, also hasnt he only got a year on his contract, I can feel him getting a huge payrise, the man isnt soft mate
Degsybluenose
It's transfer funds he wants though surly not a pay rise?

Spurs rumours page
They actually think the can decide whether to have Moyes or not, totally full of crap and deluded
One poster even stated "take moyes, felliani, baines and jelavic" and we will be top three
I had to put them straight and explain a few facts to them, as you do
Degsybluenose
Well done, Degsy. The Spurs fans are delusional. On the other hand, Evertonians may be opinionated, but we know our history and we are loyal and we are realistic - albeit eternally optimistic - about where we are. Once a blue, always a blue.

Dave whelan does my head in. He has always got something to say. He follows sky cameras like a cheap lawyer chasing ambulances. Now he hopes spurs get Moyse so his beloved roberto stays at Wigan. What a plonker. Martinez has spoken to Liverpool twice and villa twice, no loyalty, yet he makes him out to be as loyal as a 17 year old 3 legged dog. GET A GRIP WHELAN AND DOWN TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP PLEASE that way your pathetic club will be pushed onto the midnight slot on Saturday and Martinez will be running spurs a perfect match as they both have no loyalty.
I sincerely hope Moyse displays his usual loyalty and Martinez shows his usual lack of it.

Would anyone take Lucas Neill back? He's on a free and is playing really well at the moment.
Bobcat
I wouldn't, but I'm not Everton's manager :-) Not saying he didn't do an honest job for us before, but I'd want better (imho) players coming in to take us forward -especially if our top players have to be moved on for financial reasons.
Cowpat Sid
Erm. Let me think about this one............NO
14 Jun 2012 19:04:02
Tottenham have approached a couple of Directors of Football to turn them into a proper european club according to SkySports expert Guillem Balague... Cant see moyes going there because he wont have full control and he does at Everton..... Wish the board would come out an tell Tottenham were to go and say were keeping our players
I can't imagine David Moyes accepting anything other than total control of football matters. He has this at Everton - would he get that elsewhere? As for the club making a statement about the Moyes/Baines/Fellaini/etc. speculation, why should they since it's media speculation at present and most of us posting on this website regard most speculation as complete and utter rubbish - albeit very entertaining and provoking lively banter. Once a blue, always a blue.
Cowpat Sid
I know its frustrating waiting for news of moyes future but spurs havent made an approach so our board dont really have anything to clarify at the moment so on this point im with the board no point on commenting on something that might never happen and beside theres plenty of stuff to be pissed at our board for no need to add another :)

If anyones watching the croatia game, have a look at the left back, if worse comes to worse with baines, i'd take him
14 Jun 2012 17:24:49
No idea whether Moyes will go or not, really hope he doesnt, cause if he does i fear our team will fall apart. If Kenwright lets him go it'll mean the progress of the last 10 years will have been for nothing. However i think this puts Moyes in a perfect barganing position, he can finally make BK make good on all his promises. Have a feeling though that Moyes will stay and suddenly BK will find money for Moyes to spent this summer!!
Kurajan IMWT
14 Jun 2012 17:12:24
Not a rumour...
BUt why is everyone already saying were losing moyes, baines and felli...?
Moyes would be a fool to throw away 10 years for spurs... and both players have said there very happy at everton but they are both flattered by the interest from the big club..... errr who wouldnt be!
Furthermore why are people suggesting people like peter reid...no thanks... thats a backwards step
if moyes does leave... its quite simple go all out to get slaven bilic or the cheaper option would be steve round..
Moyes is going nowhere, we will finish above the spuds next season
Totally agree with this fella. Good post man ... Moyes to stay
Martinez i could live with, round nooooooo, anyway i think moyes will stay, everton can be better than spurs next season
Bez the blue
Erm im sure there have been other posts on here about Slaven who I agree would be great but he`s already signed a precontract with Lokomotiv Moscow so he isnt available my choice would be Brendan Rodgers .... the RS will have sacked him by the time we need a replacement haha

Strangely ran into the legend that is Big Nev Southall today at a trade event in Cardiff today and what he had to say was quite interesting. He was basically saying the club have 2 options: Sell off the big names and reduce our debt by 40 million and rebuilt for 2 years or invest another 40 million (where from I don't know) and push for a top 4 finish. Either of those options would result in the club being more attractive for resale. He said he would prefer the second option if viable but also said that the club should open it up to the fans to have their view as if we were actually told what is going on and where we are then we would all get behind the team as long as it was for the greater good, what does everyone think?
14 Jun 2012 17:04:09
Dalglish ready to take over as new manager. Has promised 8'th place and Carling cup. Said he just needs a 100 million to do it! {Ed024's Note - lol
100 mill isnt correct,check your facts! Mind due 17 years of cash,what does that equate to?? {Ed024's Note - I think it is about 150 million and you have found your level by winning the milk cup
!7 years lad 17 years stay bitter eh,its so funny {Ed024's Note - Better than being norwegian and deluded, you will probably spend another 150 million and still come 30+points behind the champions
14 Jun 2012 17:00:45
Man U feeder club or Compete on decent terms with the rest.What would you choose?! {Ed024's Note - Everton have only sold one player to united in the last 20 years so i don't know how you come to that conclusion, go back to the pages of the team full of donkeys that everyone laughs at, who are you going to waste your money on this season???
Moyes the legend 2 seasons above LFC(Whens the next dvd out)And no trophies.Its about expectations,and as we all admit in Prem,hes over achieved with you lol {Ed024's Note - You have spent about 100 billion trying to win the league and it has been 22 years and counting, we are looking down on you having spent next to nothing, why don't you go and watch your betamax tapes from the 70's and 80's
Thats the point we can,you cant cos its all our fault.And you had derby win dvd out.We dont,cos its no big deal to us but thats {Ed024's Note - I will give you directions to anfailed if you want
14 Jun 2012 16:54:10
First thing.. I do NOT want moyes to go, but.. When he signed his last deal I'm sure BK would have put somthing in there to make it hard for another club to snatch him, he's still got a year to go so like players I wonder if he has a buy out clause and if so it better be high as its gonna really put a strain on things

From Sigurdarson's twitter account: Just had a meeting with the board, Forcing me to stay! #MentallyBroken! #WantToLeave!!
14 Jun 2012 16:22:37
As far as we know there is no buy out
clause in Baines contract so he will only
leave if Moyes thinks the deal is worth it.
And it is unlikely that his valuation and that
of SAF will match up on a pure money
deal. A player plus cash situation would only
tempt Moyes if he really rates the player
offered, and we are now beyond the stage
of accepting people to make up the numbers.
14 Jun 2012 16:05:29
Roberto Martinez is the 11/10 favourite to be the next manager of Everton Football Club as David Moyes is made favourite to take over from Harry Redknapp at Tottenham.
Moyes is currently the 2/1 favourite to become the next boss at White Hart Lane, after it was confirmed that the club had parted company with Redknapp, meaning the Everton job could soon become available. Everton assistant manager Steve Round is the 5/1 second-favourite, followed by current club captain Phil Neville at odds of 6/1 then Owen Coyle at 7/1 and Mark Hughes at 8/1.
Martinez has been linked with vacant managerial positions at Liverpool and Aston Villa already this summer and is also the 4/1 second-favourite, behind Moyes, to take over at Tottenham.
Other names in the reckoning to takeover from Moyes should he leave include Ally McCoist (10/1), Sam Allardyce (12/1), Martin O’Neill (12/1) and Slaven Bilic (16/1).
Everton finished last season in seventh spot in the Premier League table and reached the semi-final of the FA Cup. You can get 7/1 that they finish in the top six this season and 16/1 that they win the FA Cup.
Blue D
The only two I would want IF moyes goes would be Bilic or Martinez.

14 Jun 2012 15:57:44
Moyes has a really good relationship with BK and has built this team over 10 years, how many managers last 10 years today? Certainly none at spurs! He has ambition for Everton he's getting there and I'm sure this year he can guide us to a trophy! Have faith
14 Jun 2012 15:22:51
Every Everton fan who wants us to continue "over-achieving" as we are always told, should write an empassioned plea to david moyes at goodison park, showing our support for him and how we want him to stay. I think such a mass show of support by fans would encourage him to stay. Do this now!
14 Jun 2012 15:11:33
I don't think Moyes will go, but if he does we will find it hard to attract a manager with our budget. I'd take Billic
Bilic is going to one of the moscow teams after euros
14 Jun 2012 14:46:49
Hope moyes stays,but if he decides it's time for a change I wish him all the best,10 relatively stable years,it's such a shame he could not be backed with a big budget every season,I think without a doubt he could have challenged for the title and given us the team weve craved for,if I wake up one morning and davey moyes is not are manager that will sound and feel very strange,moyes is like family and it will be a very sad day"..................tristen

Moyes to Spurs?? Any thoughts Ed? {Ed024's Note - As i have previously stated his family are very settled in preston where he lives and i think he will stay, i think everton have the potential to finish above spurs next season
14 Jun 2012 12:48:57
Hey ed I asked this earlier but with all the moyes off to spurs stuff going on you might not of seen it so I'll ask again, what do you think the new sky deal will mean to everton? The deal is a hell of a lot more than the usual one so will all clubs get a bigger cut? If so will it solve everton 5 mill loss per year problem! What's your thoughts on it? {Ed024's Note - Over a billion pounds more than last deal, with that sort of money clubs could easily reduce ticket prices for fans in these hard times. Wont hold me breath though most of it will go to players and there agents.
14 Jun 2012 13:02:04
I am not at all convinced that Moyes will leave Everton. A lot will depend on whether or not Levy will want to pay compensation. But we all know that Moyes will leave and that it is likely to be sooner rather than later. Spurs will offer Moyes money to spend - they are much better resourced than us - but perhaps Moyes might choose to wait for a better offer.
It looks like being a disrupted close season. I fully expect Baines and Felliani will leave - I think fees of £15 million and £25 million are more than reasonable and might generate extra money for Everton to reinvest. Albeit that we all know that any transfer fee will be paid in installments over months or even years. That at least guarantees the club structured future income and therefore, stability.
What we need to do is follow Newcastle's recent model which is why I am not too bothered if players leave
FATDAVE
14 Jun 2012 12:43:33
A statement from the club to tell us that moyes felliani and baines are going nowhere would be great right about now!

why is everyone saying we are going to get martinez?
he already came out and said that he is not leaving wigan and thats why he didnt go to liverpool.
But he would get full control at everton, the sh*te wouldn't give him that, so he would probably like the idea of coming
No, he declined the Liverpool job because he refused to work under a Director of Football, had there not been a DoF he would've been Liverpool's new manager
He never got offered the job

So the Davey Moyes detractors, are now facing up to the fact that he has done a great with us like we have all been saying before,
Personally i dont think he will go as he has shown to be loyal to our club and his club before that.
Spurs not being funny who the fek are they, a club steeped in history?? tradition??.
At Everton we are always put down as the also rans when almost everything that happend in football grounds happend because of us, now we are running a ship on a shoe string and running well just before UEFA,s new rule kicks in they want to unsettle us.

I think that this whole Moyes to spurs talk might actually be a good. Why ? . This puts the board and Bill under pressure if they want to keep David Moyes they will have to come up with so funds straight away for Moyes to buy players. All he has to say is SHOW ME THE MONEY !! And I'll stay if not I'm off . The board might have to reach into their pockets for these funds . Who knows ! Let's hope so.

Already signed a contract for Russian team I believe

Bilic has already signed to manage some Russian club team after the Euros
14 Jun 2012 13:56:05
So it looks like its decision time for Davey. I could not blame him or hold it against him if he does go. I do think it would be fairly catistrophic for Everton if he leaves but it could also turn out to be the opposite.
The only reason i can see him staying is his personal wages, i dont think Levy of Spurs will be happy paying him 70k a week. Im also not so sure how much cash Spurs have without selling their big players so would it be so different?
The point i want to make is i would love Moyes to stay but at the same time i would not begrudge him leaving.
The only thing i demand which sadly we wont get is som transparency from the club. Us fans deserve that at least, i do not want to hear from talksport or twitter or no offense to this website but hjere as well. I want the club to make statements, daily if need be to lets us know what is happening. It wont happen and personally i think its disgusting as i feel its the least we deserve. Its not even on the news on our website, id say these rumours are pretty big news for our club.
So come on Bill and Davey treat us with some respect and lets us know what is going on, the fall out will be far worse if you keep us posted than if you bombshell us 3 weeks before the season starts
14 Jun 2012 13:45:06
Got to admit if moyses goes to spurs we will all be gutted but will wish him well as he has been a great manager for us.
But if he stays we all have to back the club kenwright included no protests from blue union for reason being if moyses is still manager come August means he believes everton are going places and we all need to be patient and we will get the rewards
In moyses we trust

Moyes has always treated the fans, club and players with respect. Kenwright, on the other hand, hasn't!
Moyes I will respect to the end, Everton manager or not, Kenwright never !
14 Jun 2012 13:30:54
Moyes ain't going nowhere lads.
He has the safest job in Britain even if we finished 17th or 4th he will never get the sack and he knows it, plus he is the 4th highest paid manager in the country.
Everton are a big club, the press forget that just because we don't have the money some other clubs have, there is only a few clubs bigger than everton in europe and Spurs IS NOT one of them.
Why would he leave to go to Spurs? Why would he risk finishing 5th and getting sacked next summer? If he was ever to leave Everton it will be when HE wants to leave and i believe he is a very stubborn and determined man who wants to build the complete "moyes" team at Everton, win a trophy get us consistently in europe and then leave with a even greater legacy than he already has with the club, and when he does leave it will be to a club like Man United or another club abroad.
Stop getting sucked into the press stories! How many years now has Moyes "had enough" and "will move on" because he has taken us "as far as they can go" and how many times does our key players get linked to "bigger" or as i like to say "richer" clubs and then don't leave.
So to the regulars on here (degsy, wizard of osman, TC, Blue kaz etc etc and all fans in general) Keep ya heads and wait for the arrival of Pienaar and a couple of others and the site of Jelavic banging in 20 next season and Hibbert scoring a left footed pile driver form 2 yards against Liverpool and Moyes jumping round the technical area fists in the air after another win against Man City or Chelsea at home!

I really really dont want Moyes to go but im slightly worried he will.Hoping Daniel Levys influence on the everyday running of the club will put him off!

14 Jun 2012 11:44:44
Reading lots of posts on here today about compensation for moyes if he goes t spurs and that it would be huge compensation we would receive. That is absolute rubbish lads so stop saying it, when has Levy ever forked out a huge amount for anyone, he is a wheeler dealer and doesnt like to take risks or part with much cash. Thats for starters, and the biggest reason that we wont get much compensation if he does go is because moyes only has one year left on his contract, so they could quite easily force through a cheap deal. Thoughts anyone? And FYI, i dont want or believe that moyes will go, i honestly dont think he would want the job even if it was offered, spurs are going to have a really unhappy squad in the next few months and i wouldnt be suprised if they lost modric and van der vaart for certain and possibly gareth bale as well, which would in turn mean that adebayor wouldnt want to go back there permanently which leaves them with a pretty shabby team. I know i am biased but i feel that we are a good match for them, if not better than them. Moyes, Baines and Fellaini all to stay. I have no doubts. But it would be great if someone from Everton came out and released a statement stating this, but im sure we have been evertonians for long enough and know damn well that there wont be a statement made by everton as they never come out and say anything. Would love moyes to come out and say im staying at everton, the best team on merseyside!

The one season left on the contract means nothing when a manager has ten years under his belt. In a tribunal it would be very easy legally to argue that Moyes has proven he will guarantee us Premiership football, thats 50 million right there. His wages and add up to about 6milluion. Basically we could get around 10-15million for Moyes and Levy wont do that so its a non starter

Here are some thoughts from a moyes prospective!,on why he would not leave everton football club. Firstly moyes has a young family and settled in the northwest and would not uproot to the south, secondly he is only one faze away from challanging for a top four spot! which he believes with the right preparation could be this year. Thirdly
"Ross Barkly" who moyes has cautiously wrapped a comfort blanket round, is getting ready to unleash him on a unsuspecting league! I think he wants to see his development through. Fourthly, moyes almost has full control of the club when it it comes to footballing matters anyway, from over seeing the youth teams, to transfers, ect. and with the exception of our ageing ground Everton are still one of the biggest clubs in europe! and with the right investment I believe moyes could build a" dynesty" this is aim, and won,t leave unfinished buisness!.. oh! and one more thing, his father is now a fully fledged, staunch evertonian, who loves this club alot! He may have something to david on this matter!......... johnmacfromfazak

Just read that the new broadcast deal with sky adds up to an extra 14 million per club! Sounds good to me! You know anymore about it ed and what it could mean for everton? {Ed001's Note - the problem is that it will mostly be swallowed up by player's increased wages, so it will make very little difference to the club. Of far more importance is the forthcoming online streaming rights, that could totally outweigh the TV deal.}
Too right ed apple and google r supposedly after streaming rights.that will be serious money
14 Jun 2012 11:09:33
I agree with the posts on here saying Moyes won't / shouldn't leave.
I think Moyes can see he's only 2 half decent players away from having a cracking team at Everton - all for almost no money - surely he must be dying to see how THE TEAM HE HAS BUILT play next season?
Weren't we 3rd in league if you take it from January transfer window?
Spurs would be relegation material from same period.
Come on Davey - please stay and finish the job - you're a legend at Everton!
Other jobs will be available in the future but none as satisfying as putting this last piece in the Everton jigsaw - please give it one more year at least - to see if we can make it now we've got Jelavic.
(Come on Bill give him that extar 10m and get the job done!)

If moyes were to leave (which i hope he doesnt) why not try and go for redknapp.
Please god no. The man cannot work without money. If the worst were to happen I would much rather have Martinez, however I can't see Moyes taking the risk. The way he sets us up to play shows he's extremely conservative and I'm sure this goes for his personal decisions too.
I cant see spurs being happy with the style of football moyse plays so hopefully that will put them off going for him

Even if some star names do leave spurs,better core squad at Spurs.And Moyes reputation,most will probably give him a chance
Ive got to disagree. Spurs may have a larger 'core squad', however our starting 11 and bench will be far superior if they lose the players who are rumoured to be on the move.
14 Jun 2012 10:51:58
If moyes goes I think he is stupid, at everton he has spent ten years building a team that finally with the addition of one or two can seriously challenge for domestic honours and Europe, spuds are more or less the same level of team part from vdv modric bale and modric I think will leave,
If he has sense he would stay with a team that worships him an let's be honest we will never ever sack him, levvy will if things are goin bad, hawwy dragged them from. Ottom of the league 3-4 years ago and he is repaid with a 12 month rolling contract that's awful, does moyes really want to live under this added pressure and all evertonians know moyes does not keep his head in pressure games as kopites like to remind us!
Moyes stay and honour us we will worship you for 10 years more imwt!!

Ken wright needs to sell, if moyse goes bill knows he will be in trouble
14 Jun 2012 10:22:13
I don't think Moyes will go. He has said in the past he will leave when the fans want him out, which I'm sure most of us don't. He also wants to win something at his time with everton and he believes we have a good chance next year if we build on the team and make 2 or 3 signings. I know moving to spurs gives him European football and money but spurs were falling apart at the end of last season while everton were striving. Also I don't believe he will be given the chances he has got at everton. He certainly won't be able to have a slow start and not winning until January because he wouldn't be spurs manager by January. The only reason he is still at everton is because of his good relationship with kenright. He is a great manager but I can't see him going to tottenham with things at everton looking up for next season. If he does go, heaven forbid, I personally don't think Martinez would be an ideal replacement. Wigan have been nearly relegated every season and Wigan haven't got much money. We need to look at a proven successful manager. I think it will be someone within the club though, Alan Irvine probably...........

Spurs are going to be losing players left, right and centre now Redknapps gone. I think Moyes would be in a worse position in terms of building a squad on little money, if he went there. Don't forget Levy is a tight arse.
The likes of Bale, Modric and Van der Vaart all loved Harry so what if they go? They've already sold one of their back up midfielders in Kranjcar. They would be very thin on the ground. Defensively, Ledley King has packed in and the rest are injury prone. They barely have a striker at the moment. Adebayor... loan ended....Saha....Released. They only have Defoe really. Why would this instability tempt Moyes? Don't get me wrong, Spurs play some lovely football but has Redknapp taken them as far as they can possibly go?
Moyes is very close to achieving something big at Everton, he's loved by the majority of fans and the players. He's got a good relationship with the chairman (he' won't get that at Spurs). I, for one, wouldn't dream of going!
Some bookies have stopped taking bets on Moyes being the next Tottenham manager.... Why? I bet Moyes hasn't even been approached yet. They stopped taking bets on Harry being England manager and we all know what happened there. Come on David... Do the right thing....
To the tune of "Bad Boys",

What is it with the media in this country. Every summer and every January transfer window. All our top players are linked here there and everywhere. Then we hear about Harry Redknapp last night, the first thing that came into my head was the media will now start spouting sh*t linking David Moyes with the Spurs job.
I even read that compensation had been agreed between the clubs. What a load of b*llocks.
I would be shocked and deeply saddened if he left us. I just hope the money potentially on offer doesn't tempt him, because financially we can't compete with Spurs.
If he did go, who the hell is there out there that we would actually want??

Well if the board does not get money to keep moyes and give him some to spend I hope they all do one as well. Lambert would have been my choice but missed the boat I just hope moyes stays and we still get pienaar who can do what moyes had with no money the answer no one
14 jun 2012 09:24:27
ive posted 4 times now and still no one listening! moyes is going nowhere, spurs? is it a step up? no! he will only ever leave everton to make a substantial step up the managerial ladder.
so shushhhh doing my head in everywhere i look on the net everyone talking like he's gone!
moyes will be at everton next season so will baines and fellaini {Ed024's Note - Well said
Hope ur right mate ps but will u please leave a name after ur post ed will u ask posters to leave a name please so they have some identidy cheers stef the blue. {Ed024's Note - It is good for people to leave their name so we can get to know each other and our views

all this moyes talk of going to spurs,i hope will force the board to find the money moyes wants for transfers,bill will be scared of the backlash and anger towards him and the board,should moyes go.
The way things have been with us i wouldnt blame him for leaving,we have the most tight fisted board in the prem, every season we have had to sell to buy and then we have had to sit back and watch EVERY other prem and most championship spend more than us.What other manager out there can do the job moyes has done with no money and a board that only want to take but not give...Moyes if you do leave i will be so gutted but i wouldnt blame you my anger will be at that tight arse board we have.Terry blue

Why why why did Arry av to leave Tottenham, all we are going to hear now is Moyes is going, The club will stay very quite on it and we will all be left wondering, i really hope he doesnt go. Ed what do you think the chances of him going are?
Just on the subject of Moyes were is he we havent heard or seen him since the final day of the season
Micky Blue {Ed024's Note - Moyes is very likely to stay at goodison

14 Jun 2012 08:07:30
hi ed, the way I see things is that Moyes would be daft to go and work for spurs under such a ruthless chairman as Levy where the expectations are so high. he would be putting himself under so much media pressure as spurs are media darlings and also Levy is obviously so desperate for Champions League, failure to get there will result in Davy on the dole, look at Hamster Harry, as much as you dislike him he has done ok
he would be leaving a club he loves which he has practically rebuilt where his job is as safe as you can be in this league. I just wonder is he willing to risk that? I'm not sure he would as he wants to win something with us otherwise he would see it as failure
If he did go I wouldnt be to unhappy with Martinez coming in
Whatever he decides i am just grateful for what he has done for us, happy to see him stay, sad if he goes but we will survive and move forward with the right man
COYB -wella {Ed024's Note - I am very hopeful he will stay, i think AVB or martinez will get the spurs job
14 Jun 2012 07:32:17
KENWRIGHT (board)- if you have to make one signing this summer then its David Moyes!. Anyone who has done what he has managed in the past 10 years, with our finances and in this football climate needs applauding. Why do you think everyone respects him and want him. But will that be enough?. Unless you are prepared to give him more money (unlikely) or we are being taken over (even more unlikely) i am worried he will be gone.
And all you fans who says "its time for a change". Its not!. who is going to come in and motivate players & deal with likes of drenthe & van der meyder.
Us fans and even more so some ex everton players need to make it public, and by public i mean on TV what a big mistake it would be.
Get the "board" thinking / worrying!
Yes moyes is not perfect and my only negative in 10 years is he has not won enough derbies. He is still learning as a manager. But the man deserves a lot of respect.
He has also been loyal and patient with the club so who can blame him if his head is turned or hes ambitions outside our football club.
Is tottenham a bigger club than everton. I would say its very similar in fan base, history. but money talks.
Agree with all of it, Love the last sentence..........

14 Jun 2012 07:15:51
Anyone think that the reason that we haven't done anything transfer wise yet is because moyes is going to spurs? Really hope he isn't though
We can't sign anyone until the 1st of July?
Probably got more to do with the fact that he is on holiday and then is on his way to the Euros to check out new players. Plus he never buys anyone till the end of August.

harry redknapp has left totteham officially. the news was announced around 3.30 ish this morning. moyes is the odds on manager to succeed. I myself dont want moyes to leave and most evertonians will share my views. with this happening i think this news is good from an everton perspective as we all know that hawwy always poached moyes's transfer targets (walker, naughton etc) and he also stole 1 of are best players in pienaar for a fraction of his worth. taking all this into consideration i think the pienaar deal is certain to happen. he wants to come back home wer he belongs. the only thing that cud stop this is if moyes left for spurs. and i dread thinking this but if he did go i think that he wud come back and try to sign our top players (jelavic, baines, fellaini etc) sorry about the negativity fellow blues hope moyes stays an he SPURS (haha) us on to europe this season

Hope we don't appoint from within,but I've a feeling kenright will go for Alan Irvine and Steve round which will be a big mistake,for me a young dynamo like beckham and Gary neville ,with phill coaching would be a bold choice..................frankie fungal toes
I think the fungus is affecting your judgement Frankie. Beckham will never make a good manager - he is the most over-hype footballer in history. Gary neville might be a good shout, but I don't think he has gained his coaching badges yet. Bluewal.

Moyes please don't waste ten years an leave you was made for our club please stay hang in there Davy money is coming. Bb
14 Jun 2012 03:46:21
It could spell big trouble for us if Moyes goes to Spurs. It would first mean Pienaar wont be returning. And whilst we have no manager the vultures will swoop for Baines, Fell,and Jags. Would love to see Martinez take over before the board to sell our best players. Think he could bring in 1 or 2 good players and plays football the correct way. But first option hope Moyes stays.
14 Jun 2012 03:11:39
I am the only one that does not want Roberto Martinez at everton, Just look at wigen they only just got out of the relegation with the last 4 games, and the year befor that, not to good as well or and the year before, well he as done nothing, there are plenty of managers out there who would jump at the chance to be the boss of the best team on mersey side(lol) had to get that in.
second point, is about transfers.
And the only reason we have not heard any thing transfers is that any club can not officaly sign any one until the 1st of july. so stop all this where getting him, heard of my dogs best friend blar blar.
y0rksh1re_blue
Not true mate. British clubs can sign British players from June 1st. The International transfer list opens on July 1st though.
Secondly, Moyes going nowhere, twitter and skysports went crazy last night already talking like Moyes had gone and we had sold Baines, Fellaini, Jagielka, Rodwell, Barkley etc etc it was ridiculous.
Moyes will be at Everton right up untill Fergie retires at Man United. Fact!
14 Jun 2012 01:55:05
Not a rumour but just my opinion based on worst case scenario of Moyes going to Spurs. At the minute we have a quality squad that has been built (mainly) by Moyes, with players who must trust n believe he is the man to bring success. My concern is that if he does go, the board will go for a quick cheap fix i.e Martinez, McCarthy or Coyle. This won't help in convincing players like fellaini and baines that the club has ambition to push forward. I am not saying that we should get stupid like the RS with suggestions of Mourinho or Guardiola, but it has got to be someone who inspires the players and not just appease the fans. Managers like Bilic, Klinsmann or Van Basten would surely be interested in managing a team of our stature! An appointment like that would show the players that the board has aspirations and would bring someone with a desire to play the game the right way and maybe convince the players that there is life after Moyes. As I said, it's only my opinion, but would like to know what people are thinking. I for one hope Moyes stays.
There is now way a big name would come to us as they will have no money to spend
13 Jun 2012 23:08:56
We have apparently shown great interest in Ivan Rakitic and are very close to making a bid. From what I have seen he is a very good player. Do you know anything about this ed??
Blue kaz {Ed024's Note - Not heard anything, good player though
14 Jun 2012 01:38:09
Going on holiday for a week tomorrow so I'm worried about our man, I barely remember Walter smith in patches as I'm 16 so I've been brought up through the Davies moyes way. But things don't last forever and we've got to look to build. Ian holloway is the man for me, good with money, been unlucky with Blackpool and will play attractive football. Bye bye moyesy, welcome ian.
Now this is the man for me, we have a better defence than blackpool had, so with just a couple of deals ithink he would take us far,
but i would love moyes to finish what he as started

13 Jun 2012 23:55:27
Harry has left and DM now is favourite to succeed him. Worst case scenario club says we have to sell Fellaini and/or baines and we cant rebuild with the 40 mil, only then Moysie will walk. And who can blame him after a decade of battling. If the club hasnt sold after blue Bill has openly been trying for years, will we ever get cash injection to keep Moyes and grow . . . no. . . Ed ? {Ed024's Note - The football fan always lives in hope, i hope and expect to see moyes, fellaini and baines at everton for the start of the season
13 Jun 2012 22:30:47
Now is the time we need a statement from the club with the innement departure of Harry Redknapp. I was full of optimism for next season but I fear that the whole squad and ethic that Moyes has built over the last 10 years could just crumble over the next few weeks. We need a statement from the club to give us fans peace of mind. We're the peoples club for a reason. What do you think the chances are of Moyes leaving Ed? {Ed024's Note - Moyes family are very settled in preston where he lives and i can't see him uprooting, everton can finish higher than spurs next season if he stays
14 Jun 2012 01:09:58

moyes fav to take over at spurs dont know why hed go but cant stop him, if this does happen however the comp should be massive so id like to see martinez brought in for cheap and then that money for whoever he wants
14 Jun 2012 00:05:16
Dont think we should get too caught up
in the Moyes to Spurs speculation. so many other factors for him to consider....he has
always managed in the north west, his
family are probably well settled here, and
its not the biggest secret that he would
like to wait on the Ferguson retirement
whenever that may be, to see if he is to be
the heir to the throne at Old Trafford. More worrying is the possibility that bids
come in for key players that the club feel they cant turn down for key players.
13 Jun 2012 23:58:06
I dont think Moyes will go to spurs because he has full control of us and at tottenham they work with the Director Of Football route and i think moyes will not like that. STAY MOYES
Ummm no they don't have a dof
They currently don't have a DoF, but I think Levy is looking into a DoF.
13 Jun 2012 23:33:57
all the fans who wanted moyse out months ago watch what happens to r club if he goes. Are squad will get picked off by other clubs. An all the good work over the past few years. Is for nothing. Dil efc
At least spell his name right Kopite!
13 Jun 2012 23:25:16
redknapp gone. looks like moyes will go to tottenham now.
13 Jun 2012 23:19:32
I know this will probably upset a few fellow BLUES but i wouldnt blame Moyes if he decided to leave. Since his tenure at the club he has worked wonders with a limited budget. It must be frustrating knowing that he has no money again to bring in the players that he wants. The club has no ambition to progress unless a takeover occurs (which ain't happening). My only concern is if he does leave how long will it be before the dark clouds form over the club. Moyes has worked wonders for our club and if he does go then we need to respect his decision.
Completely agree with you sadly

Everyone has gone mental! Moyes going nowhere, why would he leave for Spurs? He will only leave us to make a step up!
Get a grip everyone!
Get real whether we like it or not spurs is a step up, better players, more money, and better prospects.
13 Jun 2012 22:49:33
For the moment, moyes is only a target for spurs. probably in a week the spurs will be chasing another manager but if moyes goes to spurs the best option is guardiola (well, he is on holiday for a year but he won't refuse to be the manager of the people's club).
13 Jun 2012 22:43:25
i think it be good for everton iv moyes goes hes done all he can to try win somethink but he just cont do it so iv tottenham come calling he should move on to a bigger club you have to addmit he deserves to try his hand the next step up from us .so iv he goes lets all back him and not slate him WE R THE PEOPLES CLUB thanks to moyes
