How many do you reckon it is? 10%? More. We're all of advancing years on here (in the main), so I'd expect us to have more against him than in general, but it's only a couple. That are vociferously against at least.
I didn't particularly want him, but something quite clearly had to change, as for several reasons Dyche (who I think worked miracles in his first 18 months) was clearly done.
I find it a bit unimaginative that he's in, but willing to give him a go. Given how much players etc cost, I'm sure if after 18 months it's not happening the owners will happily pay him off to get their next guy in.

Apart from his constant downplaying of the club he got the job done and did it very well.
But his departure wrecked any legacy he had for me.
Some people can calmly accept it and pragmatically get round it. I wish I could too. Previous Message
…..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.

The man who came here and told us to 'get real' and remember we were no longer a big club and to accept 40 points as the target each year.
Let's hope these Yanks really are ruthless and the moment we survive punt the hateful Moyes down the road and out of a club he took the piss out of when he fucked off to United. Previous Message
Blaming a manager who handed us our only season of football joy since the 1980s is pretty bizarre.
Who's blaming Joe Royle?
Roberto Martinez started our decline
