There were some encouraging signs in 2025. As this season progressed into 2026 his continuing refusal to use his full squad, trust inexperienced players, make timely substitutions, pick teams on form or set up teams to attack against similar level opponents all undermined performance levels. This ultimately culminated in abject results over the last two months.
So for many of us the benefit of the doubt is no longer being given. Moyes does not change. He is a manager who raises our floor but caps our ceiling. The question that now needs to be answered is how much risk is the ownership prepared to embrace. My guess is that it is not much. Moyes likely will be back but this time without much fan goodwill to create a grace period if we start slowly.

So after yesterdays result, seeing the comments below, looking over social media and listening to the Blue Room podcast I get the feeling we are close to a tipping point.
I'm torn myself. If Iraola or Glasner agreed to join us I would be all for replacing but what if they didnt want to come? And why would they anyway?
Thats why I'm not calling for Moyes to be sacked but at the same time I do want to see change in emphasis and a swift replacement of the Dyche era players that Moyes has continued to play without question.
The sight of Dwight McNeil coming on with ten minutes to go when Alcaraz or Dibling would have been better options seemed like Moyes was almost trolling the fans and has been mentioned online was the final straw for some.
It seems from Kinnears message that Moyes will be staying on but if we dont give him a new contract what is the point, we will be buying this summer mainly for the next manager and even if we do give him a new contract I think there would be uproar.
What do others tink?
