Stifler Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'd like Moyes. They guy had Everton competing to get into Europe pretty much every season, he made Goodison park a fortress, somewhere where you had to battle hard if you were to get a point, rarely did his teams just surrender, Fair enough his derby record wasn't great (but can you expect it to be when your derby rivals are Liverpool?) but Everton gave Liverpool a fight and players were not allowed to go and hide. Under Moyes I have seen games where Everton have just taken the other team apart, and I have seen games where they have had to play ugly football and battle hard. If Moyes could bring that here then there is no doubt in my mind that he would take us up to the next level (challenging for Europe, eventually challenging for the top 4), it may take another manager to take us up to the next level after that but we need to take those first steps first.

Wullie Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 tmonkey nailed it tbh. Moyes wouldn't touch a club with our transfer policy. He did very much change his style of play between the beginning and end of his Everton career, but changed it on the extremely solid base he'd built himself. It's a very interesting question of can he repeat that, and how? It's a complete myth that he had nowt to spend for most of his tenure mind. The numbers say otherwise. Which numbers? I know he spent canny fairly big on a few players but there were some big incoming fees and long stretches where they signed nobody at all. Total expenditure was ~£177m. There was some big money came in but it was always reinvested with more on top until the last year or two. They regularly shelled out upwards of £20m a season in the mid 2000s. Re: the long stretches, they only spent £1.5m in the summer of 10/11 but every other summer under Moyes they spent at least £6m+ and usually more than £10m. In fairness at the time it probably didn't feel like they were spending a lot compared to what they were getting from his management and what others were spending. From the perspective of a Newcastle fan in 2014, Everton's numbers between 2002-2010 look like Man City gone mad. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/everton-fc/transferbilanz/verein_29.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 i reckon moyes could work with what we've got here at the moment as long as he was able to add a few in the summer to fit his style a little more, a big mobile striker for example, couple of hard-working wingers, and a leader at the back to play with mym i think he'd use mym & anita much better right off the bat, especially anita as i think he'd go with a competitive midfield 3 from the off, he'd get tiote doing what he should be doing and nothing else and he'd solidify the defence very quickly main thing is what he'd do with hba i suppose as stated i'd prefer someone else but i'd be happy with him replacing pardew, very fucking happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I would be DELIGHTED if we got Moyes because he is a significant improvement on Pardew - then again, William Hague would be a significant improvement on Pardew...! However, as I said in the Sack Race thread, Moyes fails Ashley's requirements as a manager because he; a) hasn't been fired enough times and b) He will be financially independent after his pay-off so not an Ashley puppet. The fact that he hasn't won a trophy will go in his favour, though..! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Funny how Moyes is the proven one when its Martinez with the trophy to his name. That's one of the dumbest things you've said, and by God you've said some dumb things. He also has a relegation to his name, if we're going to make stupid arguments. Moyes is a good manager. Martinez is a good manager. Martinez has benefited massively from the foundation that Moyes built at Everton. His teams leaked goals for fun at Wigan, and he wasn't able to fix it over three God damn years, that's how good he was. Moyes created a solid foundation and Martinez has expanded on it, but credit still must be given to Moyes for building the team. Let's judge Everton three years down the line when Martinez has time to sign more players like Alcaraz and that gimp he spent £5m on who hasn't done shit. Yes his philosophy is to be admired and yes Everton have been brilliant to watch, but Moyes' track record is far better because he experienced sustained success. Martinez's success so far has been fleeting. I'd take Moyes over Martinez if I had to pick one manager today for our club, given our (self imposed) financial constraints. Martinez is the better candidate if you have the money to sign the best players but we don't and won't ever, and Moyes has proven himself at a club like us.

Cronky Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Moyes over-acheived on a limited budget at Everton, no question about that. And I don't remember too many people moaning about the quality of their football, though obviously it was limited by the players at his disposal. The Man U situation shows up how good Ferguson was, rather than how poor Moyes is. Over the last four years or so, on paper, that team should never have been winning the Premiership. On reflection, the pressure was always going to be greater on Moyes, as a manager who didn't have a track record of trophies. It needed a big name like Van Gaal to deal with the inevitable slippage once Ferguson had gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Man Utd was a poisoned chalice for Moyes, imo. There aren't any bigger boots to fill, and the only way was down, more or less. He won't get the time to grow into the job, and his successor will be in a much better position. He did an exceptional job at Everton. No two ways about it.

Mole_Toonfan Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I see my point went straight over your head there Pip....

Yet he's been able to win an FA Cup and now do a good job with Everton without spunking the cash. Moyes has had more money available to him as well as a better team and done far worse this season. Martinez is a manager that has his philosophy about football and never backs down from trying to pass his way to wins rather than switch tactics every game depending on opposition. He plays to his strengths not opponents weaknesses. I'd have Martinez here any day of the week over Moyes, especially considering he's never really had a club where he could attract very good players. Now that doesn't mean I wouldn't have Moyes here. I think Moyes is a good manager, I've just always held high regard for Martinez management style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Both Moyes and Martinez are on between six and ten times what Pardew earns, basic. So it's a moot discussion before you even look at the control they would want over the squad and that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
