David Moyes

[777Kidnappings]

I know we can’t win every game but selecting the same 11 constantly after defeats is just too stubborn and I don’t like it. I think I’m ready to flip the switch and try someone and something adventurous.

Huge risk as we know Moyes has stabilised us but I feel it’s time now.

I dont know if its a huge risk. Weve gone at less than a point a game for half a season. Feels like a bigger risk to let moyes spend money or let others spend it on players he wont use and then everyone wanting him gone in September

[Bluedylan1]

It feels like there's not gonna be a managerial change.

Moyes is talking about summer transfers, he's been involved in renewing contracts of players, Angus Kinnear is talking about stability and not changing manager a week before the end of the season and there hasn't been one single article (even from disreputable sources) suggesting we might be reviewing the manager's position.

I think we're all gonna have to accept that Moyes will be here next season, and the transfer business will be done under him, much as it will piss many people off.

Id be absolutely amazed if he was sacked, I dont even think they've considered it. That does say a lot about the club. Given our form, his contract length and there being some good managers possibly available. We are David moyes. We are bland. We are safety first

Moyes should blame his own recruitment before blaming refs decisions.

40,5M pounds on a guy he gave 4 mins in his debut. 9 minutes in the next before giving him the first half against Palace for then subbing him at half time as we turned that match around. He then got 4 minutes against City before he had to sit on the bench and not gain any more minutes for the next 4 mathces.

In total Tyler Dibling has been allowed to play a total of 350 minutes - that is less than 4 football matches. 5 times he has been allowed to play more than 15 minutes. He has been allowed to start 4 matches as in two of them he was subbed off at half time - indirectly blamed for the poor performance of the team.(Home to Palace and Brentford). In 2026 he has been an unused sub for 15 of 19 matches with the highlight of the ONE minute he was allowed against Burnley at home when we leaded by 2 goals. His market value halfed in the process.

Thats what piss poor Mr Moyes. That is really piss poor. Add to that the 30M you spent on Thierno "I dont have a clue" Barry and we can safely say you have thrown 70M out of the window. For that amount you could have bought five Junior Kroupis or two and half Rayans.

Problem is Mr Moyes that of all your arrivals - KDH was the only one you had faith in.

£27m for Barry
£32m for Dibling
Total - £59m not £70m

The rest I pretty much would say is spot on though.

[Shogun]

I'll be surprised if he isn't sacked. It doesn't matter one jot what Kinnear or Moyes say and think.

The Friedkins will look at it in their review. They'll see they've spent £100m and it's resulted in 1 extra point. They won't accept that sort of return for their financial backing.

[777Kidnappings]

This is gonna come out of left field for me but the recruitment has been a fucking disgrace. Even right down to grealish if we had no intention of giving him the type of full back he needed.

I actually really like alcaraz but he wasn't allowed to play much. The inaction at fullback is probably as bad a decision weve made for many years (least in recent seasons weve had the excuse of not having money) The handling of Armstrong beyond stupid. Rohl im not sure what he was signed to do. Hes alright in a variety of positions but not really good enough in any. Barry is a rotten footballer. He doesnt even know how to play his position. George seemed like a highlight both in terms of balance and potential and he got less time than mcneil who we tried to sell and was terrible

KDH was the 1 real highlight and hes just quite quite good

There's zero sign our scouting knows what real potential looks like or even what our problems are

Weve replaced the old shite with new shite both on and off the pitch

[Silas]

Think it all depends on who is free but it wouldn't surprise me either.

[AjaxAndy]

Whoever comes in, if Moyes indeed is sacked, needs plenty of time to bring in the players they need.

Right now this squad is so horribly imbalanced, lacks pace, no decent full backs... It's a bit of a car crash.

Someone like Glasner for example would struggle with this team, so needs as long as possible to bring in the players he wants if any sort of change is going to be fruitful.

So basically, hurry up and sack Moyes asap!

[TheRam]

All the concerns were there in the summer for me.

The recruitment was a total mess and he is a massive part of that.

The reason I want him gone is how we recruited in the summer, and how he’s used the squad this season.

I don’t want him anywhere near transfer decisions as it will take us backwards and a lot of young talented players will go nowhere under him.

It would also take an incredible start to the season for him to turn the tide and as soon as that bad run of form comes, or a terrible result the atmosphere will change and sacking him becomes and inevitably from that point.

We’re going into a wasted season with him still in charge from here I think.

I’d be surprised if the board make the decision to get rid though.

[Goaljira]

It either happens today, or we're sending the message of this is what we are.

I would actually be surprised if he was sacked, however I do agree that the Friedkins will be watching this summer very closely in terms of expenditure.

They will still believe that he is an experienced and steady hand in a very close and competitive league and changing things this summer is an unnecessary risk.

Moyes will know that he needs a good summer of recruitment and a fast start next season in those first 10 games.

We have always said that it’s ok to be playing poor football whilst you are getting results. But as soon as the results dry up, you have nothing to fall back on and it becomes very difficult for any manager to survive.

I think when youre talking about needing good recruitment (when not much evidence we are capable of it) and a fast start the sensible thing is to change (if theres decent options)

Why would we let him spend money if theres a fair chance he will be in trouble if we are sat on 3 points after 3 games

They are possibly gonna have written off another 100m and another year of our lives by September

[Sir Stealth]

It’s a massive summer for us. With it being a World Cup summer, recruitment is gonna be done late on, as a fanbase we are gonna be losing our minds

Absolutely key for me is Branthwaites fitness. Need him starting a good 75% plus of our games in order for us to push on

I’m resigned to the fact that Moyes will probably be here til at least the end of the next season. He has mentioned us needing to bring in multiple full backs so hoping to God he finds a good starting right back so that the total shitshow in that position for the last few years is behind us

If we’re getting Grealish then I hope it’s boxed off early and that we’ve got him fit in time for the new season. Given how many total shitbags are in our squad who barely ever contribute any goals or assists - we simply cannot turn away a CL level assist machine who wants to play for us

There’s too many problems for us to fix this summer. We need pace in the squad desperately. Would even prioritise that over the striker tbh. Also we could do with a defensive midfielder, someone who sits deep and protects the defence. Not someone who just chases the ball everywhere

The defence is what needs sorting first though in my opinion. The full back debacle has gone on too long

[Escalator]

Don’t think he’s going anywhere and this thread will go round in circles for the next three months, waste of energy.

[Brownie]

It’s just soul destroying to see missed opportunity after missed opportunity with this club.
