I have seen many fans over-hyping Moyes due to his side performing well this year. Yes Everton have looked solid this year and maybe even have an outside chance of finishing in the top4 but it pretty much ends at that.
I don't get the praise he gets from the media. Yes his hands are comparitively strung by budget constraints and he cannot spend as much as say Spurs.
He has consistently finished mid table and has given Everton stability for a decade.
But during that time he hasn't won a single trophy.Everton are a traditionally big club and you expect them to have won a couple of trophies over the last decade. But they haven't. Managers like Alex McLeish have won during this time.
I don't get the face about Everton's finances. They are 7-8th highest spenders on and average in the league and they pretty much finish then and there barring exceptions.Not much of an miracle for Moyes.
If you look at his style of football it is boring. They have consistently played hoofball all over the years. The characteristics of his team is that there is always a target man present to whom the other hoof when they look out of ideas.
Also he is reluctant to play strikers especially in tough away fixtures. How many times have we seen Tim Cahill play upfront for them? That is just negative football imo.
I cringe when our fans mention his name as potential Fergie successors. He hasn't won a trophy here and doesn't have the persona to manage big egos and plays ugly football most of the times.
Sorry but Mourinho for me at all costs when Fergie steps down which I am sure wont happen for at least a couple years.
David Moyes - What's the hype about

Believe me, our owners do not take football advice from anyone this side of the pond.
They leave the football side of things to SAF. They have done since day one.
Your owners may be different though.

if you say so
seems an awful lot on one man though
basically you're saying they don't speak to anyone but Fergie or at least people who repeat what Fergie says. Which seems pretty hard to believe.

It is SAF for gods sake. Why would they take advice from anyone else?

I am sure they speak to plenty of people. I doubt they take their advice if it is to do with football.
Please, don't confuse the Glazers with H&G and the current clowns who own Liverpool.
Tell me, my wumming little dipper friend, who would you take football advice from, one the the greatest football managers of all time, or some no mark in the USA who thinks he knows about football.
Take your time with this one soft lad, there is some thinking involved..

they must have taken advise about PL football well before they even started the buy-out.
Of course they let Fergie (and Gill) run the club in Manchester... but they would be idiots if they didn't keep a tab on it all with independent advise, occasionally especially at the beginning anyway.
There are plenty of 'football experts and advisors' in America. Im not saying they are American or that they even live in America.

Quite probabbly RB&W.
They were already connected to the club, if you remember by virtue of being major shareholders.

And likewise, they would be idiots to sek independent advice from someone not qualified to give it. And we all know the Glazers are anything but idiots.

I am sure there are. Not sure who they are though. You must have an idea?

One of United's former directors lives an hour from Tampa which is where they own an American football club.
Maybe they have a pint with him from time to time to ask for advice.
"It is SAF for gods sake. Why would they take advice from anyone else?"
because he bought Djemba x2 and Bebe FFS
surely that creates enough doubt that they have an independent set of eyes look at things before writing big cheques.
Anyone who runs a billion pound business has many advisors and checks in place. They're not idiots.
And Fergie is so busy trying to actually manage the team there is no way he has the time to deal with 'all matters football'.

I see all the RS are jumping on this thread,and they call us bitter. Bat_out_of_hell can give it bit can't take it. We've got one player on £70k, and he cost us £15m, not exactly a lot in this day in age. Villa out spend Everton and we regularly finish above them.

Every manager/Club makes transfer errors.
Anyone for an Andy Carroll?
