    It’s all “ifs, buts & “maybes” although due to his apparent inactivity in the transfer window of January 2021 Mr Moyes gave up a great opportunity for us to qualify for the Champions League. He should have left after our trophy success in Prague but as always that is just my opinion 👍.

    Just read McNulty’s piece on the BBC website.
    “The games all about glory” yeah right Mr Levy.
    It’s about what we’ve all known for a long time - money.
    Football just stinks sometimes.

    Some will credit Mr Levy for sacking his manager after he had won his club a European trophy unlike Mr Sullivan.

    Moyes wasn't sacked.

    Yes Ironherb that’s the point I thought I was making.

    Sorry but what?

    January 2021 was during Moyes’s first full season in charge, he was still sorting out the mess Pellegrini had left behind. Finishing 6th (above Spurs and Arsenal) and qualifying for Europa League was massive

    And you think he should have done better???

    Why would he quit after Prague? He wanted to stay and continue to build the team.

    In my opinion we’d have been better off sticking with Moyes and Everton have benefited from our board’s stupidity

    Because we were dreadful in the league, our bread and butter, finishing 14th and with Moyes intent on wanting short term, old, signings such as JWP and Maguire (which fortunately didn't happen) at way too high prices for long term progress. Our current, way too old squad, is in large part due to Moyes's transfer dealings.

    Yes ASLEF I do as the opportunity was there to freshen the squad up & he didn’t take it choosing to run the team into the ground.

    I read it differently 🤷‍♂️

    I think history will see Moyes in a different light to you lot.

    I really cannot understand how anyone can think that the Jan 21 transfer window was what kept us out of CL the next season.

  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    As I politely explained @ 8.57 it is just my opinion👍.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Of course.

    And as I explained politely, I can't understand that.

    I'd be happy to engage further if I could grasp what underpins that position/opinion.

    I'm going to start a petition that the Spuds keep Postecoglou for next season, to enable them to get relegated
    🥰🤣🤣

    @Mrs G, DM let Sebastian Haller leave in the January window 2021 I believe & never replaced him so we had one CF who was knackered by the end of the season. I am not the only person to pick up on this as many people (no links available) said much the same & they also commented (again no links) that we blew a golden chance to qualify for the Champions League.

    Haller wasn't doing much, he started 10 Premier League matches plus another 6 as a substitute with just 3 goals. We cashed in on him and got Lingard on loan

    Moyes said "we tried for a striker but the players we wanted weren't available."

    He didn't buy a striker the season after that. We finished 7th and reached the semis of the Europa League.

    Nice to see that DM had taken well to the “West Ham Way” there, with the age old comment of we tried to sign etc!!
  • alderzalderz
    I must have had a bump on the head. I thought it was June 2025, but we're relitigating the January 2021 transfer window. Is Moyes still in charge?

    Frank reported to be close to signing for Spurs

    Rumoured that Frank wants to bring Kevin Schade with him

    Mbuemo and Wissa also supposedly leaving this summer

    Brentford scored 77 goals in all competitions, Mbuemo, Wissa and Schade scored 52

    If I were McKenna I wouldn't go near Brentford. Relegation there would wreck his career. (I'm only bothered because he's a possible future England manager)

    Frank to Spurs as expected.

    My view is he will be ok but not the messiah they hope for. I think the Palace manager is the guy for the next big step up in grade and he will be a success wherever he goes.

    Slacker if you fancy going undercover I have found some work for you on the spurs forum, some of those guys make our sometimes less than enthused attitude look like we are Disney theme park workers greeting a new season.

    "You've one job Frank. Just keep the gravy train floating. Protect our share price. Bin off them silly cups and go all out to finish as high as you can in the league. We want European football every year but don't go trying to win them stupid trophies. Go out early and focus on the league again so we can get back into Europe and keep this cycle going. Look at that share price baby!! Don't start talking about trophies and success. Just keep the wages low and keep getting us into Europe baby. We're cutting costs by the way. I'm not signing anyone who wants more than 50k a week so find me some cheap championship players. Do the thing you did at Brentford and watch that share price rise baby!"
