Would like to read that bio, one day, should it ever be published.

... wrote/was writing an official biography of Moyes. He would visit David and Pamela's place to interview him and Moyes attended his wedding. The connection went back to PNE days. I read the Everton chapters. Nothing particularly new, from memory.
Moyes wouldn't allow the bio to be published until he had "won something". I guess it never will be now.
I don't think Moyes believes he was "successful" in outright terms. Achieving what he did with the resources at his disposal is another matter.

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.
