So with dithering Dave and his motley crew of mentality midgets staying for at least another season, which no doubt make some people on here very happy (despite what they say about not being pro or anti Moyes) for some weird reason.

Here’s what I want next season:
George to be bought.
Dibbling to be brought into the first team in the middle behind the striker.
Us to target the league cup, full strength every round.
Us to not have any relegation worries.


A new left back, right back and centre back brought in to start.

Real easy stuff for someone like Moyes surely, he’s experienced. He’s stable. Some on here said we had a great season and just struggled a bit at the end. So those things above should be a walk in the park. I essentially just want some team changes and to go for a trophy. I’ll even take 13th again, but we have to put everything into the cups.

31 May 2026 21:42:02
We all want the same thing, Swan. The daily digs at other posters who don't agree with every word you say are not unnecessary.

I agree, a right back should be top of the list, but we'll need a lot more than that to do any better than we did last season.

31 May 2026 23:02:57
Give it a rest, Swan. We get your view, but don't all necessarily agree with it.

31 May 2026 23:12:38
I'd take that Swan. Three new starting players (RB, LB and CB) along with George, another striker and RW to help get goals.

If we don't finish top half, we should be at least in semi finals of a cup.

If he doesn't manage that, don't renew his contract and get someone else lined up. We'll have to start the search now to make sure we aren't caught with our trousers down again with knee-jerk appointment.



The tactics aren't going to change and the style of football won't either. Get us another Baines and Coleman plus a Cahill and Lukaku and I'd be more confident going into the new season.

31 May 2026 23:24:48
Fair enough, if people want George, but I would rather look elsewhere.

It is all well and good coming on as a young and fast winger in the last 10 minutes of games against tired legs.

He got absolutely bullied in his start against Bournemouth by Jiminez.



Nothing I have seen warrants spending 20/25m of our transfer budget on him.

Would rather go after Zuriko Davitashvili, who would be half the price, or spend a little bit more and get the likes of Matias Fernandez-Pardo.

01 Jun 2026 03:10:05
I like Moyes & he has been a success story for us. When we had very little money, he consistently kept us in the top 8. He has come back, stabilised us through the move & has taken away relegation worries, however. his dithering with subs, playing favourites, playing people out of position, failure to change tactics & he seems to think giving the top teams a decent game is good enough just doesn't cut it with me.



He should always have a special place at Everton but we need a younger, more daring coach if we want to get back into the top 6. The other lot have acted swiftly & I applaud that. We need to follow suit & get a new man in now so he can get transfers done.

Your dictatorship isn't coming across very well, I'm afraid. You're not the only one with a veiw and you're veiw isn't the only right one, which I'm afraid you seem to think is. Also, belittling people becasuse they don't agree with ur veiw is very small minded. You expect us to agree or take your opinion on board, but cannot do the same yourself.
If you can give a comment, you should also be able to recieve one, which you've proved you cannot.

I don't agree with you on some things, something I kind of do, but I'm not going to come on here day after day just splutting the same drivel to get a reaction becasue all of the people don't agree with you.
The season is over. The rebuild continues, then let's see what happens, but for now nothing makes any sense just repeating yourself. How about go for a walk, get out in the sunshine, and worry about what will or won't happen when the season starts.

01 Jun 2026 12:10:56
Agree, Bluepasty, maybe he has a job in believing his own posts, hence his daily Victory speeches, mate. ????

01 Jun 2026 13:03:22
Some aren't taking a side one way or another, they simply see that the board aren't bowing down to a minority who have been saying the same things for the last few managers. TFG had said this was a 2 year building process yet a few of you won't listen to that. That's weird.

Lampard, saved us from relegation, deserves another season? Dyche, saved us from relegation, deserves another season? Moyes, saved us from relegation, and this season finished with one point more than last, deserves another season.
Anyone see a pattern forming here?

31 May 2026 13:37:25
Maybe some of the players they all had weren't good enough to finish higher, mate, as are some we still have at the moment, just plain poor.

31 May 2026 14:53:37
Or maybe the managers were just not good enough?

31 May 2026 15:03:54
If he goes around Christmas for poor results, then there is a pattern, Brass.

The difference this year was we were safe well before the end of the season, so you can't say we were battling relegation. I'd like to see us buy some quality in this window to push for Europe next season.

If he fails to get us there, I think Moyes is done.

It's a high bar to set, but I'd like to see TFG show ambition. It gives us a bit longer to try and work out who will replace Moyes. At the moment, I don't see who will come to us.

31 May 2026 15:14:20
I agree with you entirely BR, but in my eyes he deserves the chance to get new players in. If he does poorly, then he's gone. I'm no Dm lover or Dm hater. I doubt many managers could have done better with some of what we have. It will be a very interesting window, mate.

31 May 2026 17:09:34
Can you please explain why he deserves a chance to get new players in?

Did someone else get our players in the summer?

Moyes signed them and chose not to play them.

So why will this summer be any different?

31 May 2026 17:11:55
He has been at Everton over 13 years and won nothing. What makes you think he will do any better next season? If he stays, it will just be another year wasted. Why can't we just break away from him once and for all and move on? Some people are wanting him to be moved upstairs, for what reason exactly? Doing what? For Christ sake, just go.

31 May 2026 18:22:34
For sentimental reasons I suspect Skylark. Which is typically us. Can I just say, though, that the manner in which he left us last time should not ever allow him anything more than what he's lucky to have received already, a second chance.
A second chance that has further proved to me that he's out of touch with success. His mantra is to survive. That's not enough for me at all. I want to win cups and leagues. Right now, I admit that that's a stretch, but the longer we keep this guy the longer we will have to wait.


I wouldn't give him a single penny of our budget. I have no confidence that he'd use it to increase our chances to win stuff.
Sending him upstairs will only worsen our situation. We currently play like we're not worthy to be in this league, and with him in a more senior role we will allow that cancerous mentality to spread through the club.
I see him in charge next season despite my preference. But after that I'd like to see him walk away for good.

31 May 2026 19:36:03
Couldn't have put it better myself.

31 May 2026 20:14:48
I'm not against the anti-Moyes sentiment and completely agree that he is lucky to have come back, but it strongly looks like we are stuck with him until at least Christmas.

In my opinion, there’s no point wasting energy on whinging about him coming back, staying or needing to go as we are stuck with him. I want to back the team and that includes signing players we have so desperately needed for the last few seasons. Moyes has dug up gems in the past and I'm hopeful he can do it again.

There’s no one who will come to us who is half decent in my eyes so that leaves us stuck with Moyes until we get worse or he stabilises us. We’ve taken quite a few risks in recent years on managers and flirted with relegation.

I'm currently thinking ‘better the devil you know’ until the right person who can improve us is identified.

The tactics have been crap.

Selection has been crap.

Subs have been crap.

Recruitment has been crap.

To pull the trigger now and chuck him would plunge us into more uncertainty. I don’t want that. I want success, I want better football, I want to enjoy being an Everton fan and look forward to games without fear of screwing it up.

In my opinion, sacking him now gets us nowhere unless we have a quality replacement.

The bloke at Brighton? Frank? Who would take us on? Our reputation is not great, given last 10 years.

31 May 2026 20:31:20
I agree with everything you said BR2526, but there must be a manager out there somewhere who is better than Moyes, offer him the right money and they will come.

31 May 2026 20:42:24
There must be better players as well, mate, you never know David Moyes might bring some in.

31 May 2026 21:25:12
Pro or anti Moyes, it's his fault that we can't compete for better players this window, because with seven games left we were nailed on for European football and it was his negativity that cost us.

I'm convinced that Lee Carsley would jump at the chance to come to us, and he would, in my opinion, do a better job.

31 May 2026 23:04:29
It'd be a big risk, Shropshire. I'd like to see him cut his 'club managerial' teeth at a championship club first. If he does well there, sign him up!

01 Jun 2026 12:55:59
Some real experts on here, and, to be fair, there may be a couple of knowledgeable ones. What isn't acceptable is having a dig at those that don't agree with their opinions.

{Ed's Note - PatrikBurgher has posted a new article entitled, Where Liverpool's Season Went Wrong Under Slot

30 May 2026 21:27:31
Please, Mr Moyes, go now whilst you can leave with some dignity, and gratitude for stabilizing the club on the brink of relegation. However, you cannot dine out on that achievement forever. We need to progress, and the run in showed your limitations, great teams, and great manager, produce in pressure situation, you, and the team, fell flat on your face.

30 May 2026 22:30:05
Take it, you're not happy with 14th, you should be ashamed with yourself. We are a top 14 side, you should be loving life like GB Moyes is unbelievable.

31 May 2026 15:09:32
We've had lots of chopping and changing over the last few seasons. Going through the cycle again is daft unless we have a solid replacement who is quality and going to stay for a few years. We shouldn't have finished 14th. Joke of run in for us. I'm not blaming VAR or officials for the mess, but it lands firmly at Moyes' door. He has to do better next season or he's gone.



The football has to improve.

The results have to improve.

The ambition of the squad has to improve.

We need an Emery style situation where someone half decent takes a chance on us and we stick it out. Can't see who that is yet so we are stuck with Moyes. He won't resign; he'd lose out on too much money. He'll need to be sacked or let his contract run out.

31 May 2026 15:54:06
World Cup year, so there will be managers who leave/sacked from international jobs looking for a job. Could be a chance we bring Carlo back for another go around.

31 May 2026 16:39:14
Pochetinno would be decent and back him.

30 May 2026 18:08:21
Everton late to the game again. Iraola courted by Liverpool when we could have stepped in as the final whistle went at Tottenham. We will, it seems, stay with Moyes. I credit him for stability. But he is the type that will talk about projects which might come to fruition in a few seasons. While young, more attack-minded coaches take ordinary teams to the next level in quick time and pass us by.

We are a great club, not one that settles for "nearly." I fear there will be many more blues fans in coffins before Moyes would bring a trophy home. Thank you, David, in all sincerity, but time is of the essence and another season of playing without ambition does not suit the majority.

30 May 2026 18:33:28
Iraola wasn't ever going to choose us. His stock has risen far too high this season. Needed to go in for him last summer, but that wasn't going to happen with Moyes just in the job.

We have to wait and see how Davey does in the window, then possibly out by Christmas.

30 May 2026 18:57:07
We were always going to stay with DM, he will get this window for sure and we need to move a few on.

30 May 2026 19:50:06
Always on, going to Liverpool. Fantasy thinking otherwise.

30 May 2026 19:52:16
2 year contract = stability then move forward.

30 May 2026 21:20:01
We will never move forward thinking like that. I give up. What's happening to our fan base.

30 May 2026 21:21:33
Remember people saying this about Dyche. ??

30 May 2026 21:40:31
Moyes is defo staying, I think we need to be realistic, the board would've made their move by now. He'll go next summer, unless we're in the bottom three at Christmas.

30 May 2026 22:21:30
14th next year. Happy days, good times. GB at least someone is happy. ????

31 May 2026 10:43:12
It's because he's only a third of the way through building his own team/squad. He should definitely be allowed to deal in this window too, he's 100/1 to leave or get fired anyways, so you're miles off. Let's see what we have, players-wise, after the summer.
It's a new season in August.

31 May 2026 14:52:16
What's Everton supporters' favourite movie - Groundhog Day.

{Ed025's Note - with some of the players we are linked to like..Trippier, Souchek, Ake and Stones....i would say...Cocoon.. :)

30 May 2026 13:53:50
I'm sure I said months and months ago Moyes is s*** and I wanted him gone but I got snagged off on here by some. How times change.

30 May 2026 14:19:08
All the gear, no idea, them sort of guys.

30 May 2026 15:34:31
Not me.

30 May 2026 16:34:43
It's nice to have you back, Skylark. People's opinions shouldn't turn personal - hopefully things will be better this time round.

As for Moyes, I still hope we can sign someone decent players and charge up the table next season. I just struggle to see how we will do it under Moyes! He did have a good away record this season.

No idea how he managed it, but if we can replicate it at home, we could do alright next year. City, Liverpool and Bournemouth all above us, and under new management, so anything could happen with them.

Might stick £10 on Bournemouth to get relegated next season.

30 May 2026 17:02:15
Personal?7

30 May 2026 17:24:19
I put £10 on Brentford to go down this season. ???

30 May 2026 18:11:16
I'm not sure how times have changed. Some of you dont like him, some do. We all have our own opinions, but things haven't changed. The same system that got us wins also got us losses. The players are at fault for most of it, not Moyes. Yes he could use other players, but he sees them every day so he knows best. We are in the Prem, we are looking in a better position than last season, hopefully with more players in we will be in an even better position next season.

Problem with a lot of you is a couple of wins then you think we are world beaters. Soon as we lose you all throw ur dummies out the pram and stay crying. The amount of people who do this on this page soon as we lose come on here and its the same ones. Grow up, its a game, we win, we lose, that wont change in 1 season.

30 May 2026 18:24:44
Sorry but that hole post screams mediocrity.

30 May 2026 18:37:04
I listened to Moyes in the Rooney podcast (never listened before, and unlikely to listen again but I wanted to hear how he was sold) . Moyes mentioned that young players may have to play out of position when they first start out. it's a flawed philosophy but it's his.

Until he goes, we have to stick with it.

I do think selection plays a large part in how we do, Bluepasty. You can't play out of form players, and Moyes does. That was a large reason why the last 7 games went so badly.

30 May 2026 19:28:50
Agree, Bluepasty. DM gets a decent budget and things don't improve, TFG will move him on by Christmas.

30 May 2026 19:59:03
Skylark, I really do not know what you're expecting, do you actually think this squad of players that has been totally shocking for how many season now are going to be world beaters, I'm not being unrealistic, I think some of you on here are. We had a good run but ran out of puff because our squad isn't good enough. Bringing in will help next season and new blood to help the good players we have, and new players to push the good players to reach new boundaries.

We have a squad of 11 or 12 players, the rest aren't up to it or haven't reached their peak yet. No manager will come in and change anything that Moyes hasn't already done, money players are all that can change that. From what I'm hearing, we have some funds but not loads, so we are stuck with Moyes, like it or not, and for those who think the Bournemouth boss would leave them in Europe and come to us are living in cookcoo land.

30 May 2026 20:10:59
Good post, mate. Agree with all of that, a lot of our players are not good enough.

30 May 2026 21:04:01
Yes, you're right, we are stuck with Moyes, that's exactly why he should never have come back, our club makes some of the worst decisions.

30 May 2026 21:28:29
We don't know how good the other players are because we don't see them. Moyes does not know how to rotate a squad, if he did, we would be in Europe now. Not one point better than last season while still playing awful football.

30 May 2026 13:22:16
Liverpool sack Slot after winning PL first them in his first season. Decisive! Shows nothing but the best is good enough for the reds.
Hope our owners live up to our motto Nil satis nisi optimum and get rid of DM, but I doubt they will.
Thoughts fellow blues?

30 May 2026 13:46:05
I can't see it happening PH, as much as I'd like a change.

30 May 2026 14:06:32
Shows what a clown show LFC are, nearly as bad as Manu getting rid of Mournio after finishing 2nd and winning a cup. Not worked out well for Manu since. Can't wait ta see how many managers get blamed for LFC being crap for the next 10 years. Get Yergan back will be the cry.

30 May 2026 14:25:45
A clown show? What does that make your shower of a set up?

30 May 2026 15:05:40
Slot finished 5th after spending a fortune and playing very dire football.

Very different from United sacking Mourinho.

30 May 2026 16:30:46
You wonder if a conversation was had around Christmas with Iraola saying they'd be sacking Slot if things don't improve, so hold back committing to anything.

Let's not kid ourselves: we are not run well and haven't been for a decade.

The current lot are better than Moshiri's mess, but we can only hope things get better. Roma aren't doing badly, so you'd think we will turn things around eventually. It would have been such a different story if we hadn't bottled the last 7 games.

30 May 2026 18:10:20
Thought Arsenal won.

30 May 2026 19:31:24
Hahaha. Absolutely bizarre behaviour to sit on an Everton rumours site, being a Liverpool fan.

Like a weird ex, stalking you and your new piece type of behaviour.

What can you possibly get out of it. Utterly criminal stuff.

30 May 2026 19:49:19
Bloody sad, if you ask me, BN mate.

30 May 2026 21:30:54
We can only dream of being Liverpool right now.

31 May 2026 09:38:24
BN, GB, Pure entertainment.

30 May 2026 13:21:44
Liverpool see a fault, they fix it, they see a problem, they get rid of it, their fans are the same way, they demand better, they won’t accept not being great.

Our board look at a fault and think “Well I’ll sort that later, they see a problem and go “Well it could be worse”, our fans say “Careful what you wish for”.



This only further cements what absolute losers we are inside and out, Liverpool should adopt Nil Satis Nisi Optimum, because they live by that motto. We don’t, we just drag our feet and refuse to act until it’s too late.

But at least we have stability, right?

30 May 2026 14:47:42
We wait till nearly relegated before we do anything.

30 May 2026 15:34:58
Liverpool sack a fella who won more in two years than we've won in 30. Let that sink in for a minute.

People on here say give Moyes another year because he is safe, or maybe he'll change his ways after 20 odd years. All it means is we'll fall further behind the big clubs.

If we want to be a big club again, we need a decisive owner who is desperate for success & not just survival.

Moyes should've gone after the final whistle against Spuds. Proactive owners would've already had a new coach waiting to take over the next day. If TFG are waiting another week, then we can assume they're happy with Moyes & we can forget another year.

UTFT NSNO. ? ? ?

30 May 2026 15:42:55
Slot won with Klopp's squad, and was then not strong enough to stand up to his players throwing a hissy fit. As soon as Iraola left Bournemouth, Hughes was always going to make a move.

30 May 2026 16:38:42
Reds dropped off when Salah dropped off. If they'd have planned for that and got a replacement, they'd have been fine. I always thought Kudus would have been a fitting replacement.

30 May 2026 21:32:55
Remind me, where did they finish again?

31 May 2026 10:58:32
Bit of a difference between the two clubs don't you think? He has been sacked as they were defending champions and finished well below expectations, how many points off their total last season? These cheap shots at fans who don't share your opinions are getting tedious swan!
