Usually just a reader, don't know if anyone recognises my name but I posted a few times about mirallas when we signed him, anyway blues just wanted to say how much of a difference there is reading posts compared to this time last year, there's rarely any mention of kenwright at all,

I hate it when I read a negative post about moyes, I'm only 19 myself so I'm ashamed to say I never got to see the great everton teams over the years, but I do remember from my youngest memory what an unstable team we were, on the verge dare I say it of being relegated, and along comes Dave, he balanced our club when we needed it, yes it was time for him to go, but the man gave us a long service, he gave us hopes of Europe and set the majority of our team up for bobby, a man with far More of a tactical knowledge and modern footballing brain, to take us on and become one of the best two footballing teams in the league.

Just a quick one for those spuds fans, where's the harm in loaning one of the best young forwards in the world (lukaku) one of the best young wingers (deulofeu) when it could earn us a champions league spot, then whose to say we won't bid for one of these players, or someone of equal quality with the money from the champions league and the club being a more recognised team around Europe again, honest lads there's no need to be upset and worrying about our loans, you've just spent £100M haven't you?

Your loyalty does you credit, Giannis. But, speaking as someone who WAS a huge Moyes fan, sometimes people do things that just can't be overlooked. It was bad enough that he went to that lot, but his behaviour afterwards with that cringe inducing first press conference & the shameless pursuit of Bainsey was simply unacceptable. All that, "Sir Alec told me I was going to be the next Manchester United manager and you can't say no to that." twaddle - Yes you can! 2 letters, and & O!
Anyway, we've come out of the situation well on top, better manager, the team playing better football, not being scared any more of the so-called "bigger" teams. Win-Win situation. Plus, the added bonus of the chaos & meltdown at Mold Trafford!
To use a marriage analogy, what Moyes did was like having a wife who looked after you & your family well, built a good home & was you thought the perfect spouse. Then, someone with more money that she has secretly lusted over for years becomes available & she drops you like a flash & moves in with him. Just disrespectful & nasty behaviour.

Good post - and I do agree that the Moyes posts are becoming a little tiresome.
Although I was not happy with the way he left, nor do I appreciate the contempt with which he has treated the club since he left, I do though appreciate the job he did for us. Having said that, he has made his bed and as a club we have moved forward. I must admit that I found his comment last week about not discussing players at other clubs quite amusing.

I have to agree on the Spurs front also. I couldn't give a monkeys what goes on at other clubs, so why the sudden disapproval at our loan signings? The word jealousy does spring to mind. After all we are a proper football club, run by a chairman who by his own admission is not the richest, but has made our club the envy of most true football supporters. We can justifiably have pride in our club, something money simply cannot buy.

On the money Tezza. I was genuinely in despair when I knew he was doing the off. My mood changed though when he'd already begun working for them despite still getting paid by Bill. Then there was the long pursuit of Felli & Baines which as we know, ended up with them paying for one, virtually what he'd initially offered for both. My anger at the guy then turns to one of sheer delight when his 'bigger and better' club spend the first 6 months in freefall. Long may that continue. Yes, he did steady the ship but it appears he was also holding us back and ultimately, doing what he did showed how little respect he has for the club and the fans.

. and then you pull the young Spanish sort from down the road and spend the rest of the year high-fiving your mates down the pub!

I agree with Giannis and Tezza. I'm only 18, so I'm the same as you; I've only ever seen Moyes' team, never the old greats, but I do remember our struggling form earlier in his tenure. I, like you, am incredibly greatful for what he did for us - he truly turned our fortunes around - but I can't overlook the disgraceful manner in which he pursued our players and insulted our club after he left. I didn't blame him for going; who wouldn't? But had he have just kept his mouth shut and left us alone, he would still have all our support.

Well said Toffee. You took the words right out of my mouth. Spot on.

Agreed with all posts, but I don't think I explained myself in full, yes, David moyes is an ego enflated hypocrite, I think everyone has established that, but he still gave us a very long and loyal service, he could of jumped ship to Tottenham, villa when they were flying, possibly the RS, he was mentioned for the Chelsea job, city. But to be quite honest I don't care what he's doing or who he's managing, Roberto Martinez was the manager of everton last time I checked and moyes was the jealous ex wife, Everton aren't we
