…..a much better state than when we he arrived. Given the finances of the club during that time he did a fantastic job.

What Moyes did well was manage expectations and his cautious approach in games particularly the big 6 games and away from home was often reflected in his messaging.

Personally, I’ve no issue with that as you contrast it to ‘phenomenal’ Roberto Martinez and his ultra positivity and it just didn’t wash as times he came across like he was watching something different to everyone else.

Managerial appointments will always divide opinion and given the history with Moyes, the way he left, some of his antics after he left during his stint at United will have left a sour taste and some can’t move on from that. That’s fine and I understand it.

I’m happy with the move whilst acknowledging the short term task is a huge challenge, not least because of the quality of the squad. But I don’t think even the most anti-Moyes Evertonian can deny that Moyes is someone who will have the very best interests of the club at heart. Although we won’t be happy at times with his team selection, his approach, his substitutions or lack of them, there will be plenty of poor results that will lead us all to question the appointment as fans do, having someone who, along with his managerial ability, truly cares for the club counts for a lot right now.
