I’m fine with him replacing Dyche for that reason. I just find it underwhelming. But given our recent appointments and financial issues I’m not sure why I expected anything more or different.
But I wouldn’t expect any great reset anytime soon if Moyes keeps us up. And if he does he’ll have deserved to at least see us through our first season at BMD. And nothing would please me more than for him to get us competing for European places again. But I just can’t see it.
Fun fact the UEFA conference league has been a thing for 3 years. TFG have now employed 2 of the 3 winning managers

reboot or whatever the term is these days. We need that, but we need to be in the PL too. We were going down under Dyche. Moyes will keep us up, tends not to buy absolute trash, and maybe deserves another shot at a big club (which we still are, dammit.) Plus we can always bin him off like he did us if he doesn't gain traction. I'm fine with it given the situation, and we have to start from somewhere. (More accurately, we have to start from the dogshit situation Moshiri left us in.) Previous Message
Under difficult circumstances. And we’ll be forever thankful for that.
Big Joe was our last successful manager. Evertons success should be measured in trophies. Unfortunately there’s no net spend trophy.

But he was successful at Everton Football Club.
I know its all about opinions, but anyone who thinks he should have done better last time...is just wrong.

saying “It’s great to be back! I enjoyed 11 wonderful and successful years at Everton and didn’t hesitate when I was offered the opportunity to rejoin this great club."
How do you define successful ? for me, its winning trophies and Everton won a trophy every decade (WW2 excluded) until Moyes arrived. I know its not his fault as the owners had no money.... but no way can he say his tenure was successful without a trophy. Its like Bill saying 'you had good times' ffs.
He's the right man to deal with our current mess, but I hope our new owners don't share his view of success.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
