David Moyes sacked again in a career that appears to be spiralling downward. He probably thinks now that he should have stayed at Everton although on the other hand, signing long term deals then getting fired is a pretty lucrative business given that compensation needs to be paid. The fairness of that last part is another debate though.


Would you like to know more?
 
When you are at a diddy wee club like Everton its easy to plod along. When he went to clubs with ambition and expectation he's failed. Saying that pretty sure his record isn't too far off LVGs record at the Rags.
 
He couldn't turn down Man United when given the chance to go there.

Following on from a legend like Ferguson would have been a huge task for any manager. Moyes perhaps was a bit out of his depth, but he wasn't given enough time to build a team. Van Gaal IMO will be out within a year, maybe sooner..he is just a square peg in a round hole at that club.

Moyes is a very good manager and will get another club soon. Very few foreign managers last more than a year in Spain.

A man whose only trophy in his entire management career has been the English second division. He should never have been given the Man Utd job.

( we are the )Peoples Club, Archibald Leitch stands, blue strips, Walter Smith, Gazza, Durrant......
 
I think he's an excellent manager but wasn't the right man for Man Utd. That he went in there saying to the players "At Everton my players did this..." confirms that.

However, the job he did at Everton was remarkable. And I suspect he will one day end up back there...

Merely a play on words although sure I've read somewhere historically the reds of Liverpool & Manchester were traditionally 'Catholic' clubs and Blues 'Protestant'...or was it other way round? Either way unlike in Scotland they all moved on from the 19th century so probably irrelevant.

I don't think it was that relevant in Liverpool, although Everton were founded by Methodists, and Liverpool were a bit like the soapdodgers are with us, the bastard wee cousin you never liked but they keep copying/ stealing from you.

Remember listening to a radio program about Everton history,regarded as a "catholic" club the phrase the popes 11 was.mentioned several times.
 
Both Liverpool clubs were founded by Methodists. Liverpool, as a city, had a sectarian divide in the past but the football teams somehow managed to steer a path clear of this. Unlike some teams we can think of who traded in on it. Both teams draw support from Methodist North Wales and Catholic Rep of Ireland in similar numbers. Recent research has indicated that it was more likely to have been a political allegiance that influenced which club people supported because local politicians have historically used the clubs as vehicles for their activities .

It's a unique situation.

It's also fair to say their is greater hatred towards a club in another city from Liverpool fans than there is towards the ones who used to play at Anfield until they had a wee problem with the rent :read:

During the 1950s and 1960s Everton were sometimes called a Catholic club mainly as a result of successful Irish players Tommy Eglington, Peter Farrell and Jimmy O'Neill as well as manager Johnny Carey. A bit like called Hibs a Moroccan club in 2007
 
Isn't there a wee church in the corner of Goodison?

I've got no affiliation with either Liverpool team, but it looks like Everton do a tremendous amount of good work in the local community.

Nowt personal, i just despise Everton. My best mate is a mad Toffee, ( when he played for Clach he wore an everton top underneath, and in amateur league when he scored he'd kiss the everton badge on the top underneath) Citeh v Everton cost me a fortune in the 90s, we had 50 quid a game and 100 on league placing. When we got relegated i saved a fortune.
