Dodgy guttersnipe paper has a pop at Everton’s David Moyes…

The Daily Mail aka The Daily Hate Mail has today had a pop at David Moyes aka the Moyesiah, for his shambling summer of non-signings and the fact that he has yet to scrawl his signature on a brand spanking new contract.
Poor Evertonians have been spending their summer cringing, but now the Daily Mail’s colourfully named Hatchet Man is pointing the finger squarely in David Moyes’ proud Scottish face for this summer’s transfer foul up.
What is David Moyes up to?
After guiding Everton to fifth place last season the manager has become involved in a disgraceful political game which has left the club teetering on the edge of disaster.
In his soft Scots burr, he has been whingeing about the need for seven more players, running to Everton fans to celebrate their win at, of all teams, West Brom, and generally throwing his toys out of the pram.
Then Moyes outrageously pretends it is him ‘letting the players down’ in an attempt to win the PR battle.
Did he not read the brochure when he joined the club six years ago? It is a long time since the club were at the top of the tree in English football and now they simply don’t have the money to compete. (Daily Mail)
So is the Daily Mail right to attack David Moyes, and don’t they realise that the Moyesiah steered Everton to fourth place (ahead of the then European champions) with a very emaciated squad?…

The signing period is not over yet. Moyes always waits to the last moment and rives evertonians crazy but he has produced the results to get us in UEFA and challenging for a top spot so let him do his job.. he’s under my stress and duress than I am at my job; wouldn’t want his position but when the dust falls lets see where we lie then.

Could the writer of this article be a bitter kopite…..It sounds like it to me. I’ve been a pretty frustrated Blues fan this summer and its plain to see DM looks pretty frustrated to say the least. I haven’t heard him complaining or throwing his ‘toys?’ out of the pram. He is clearly doing his best by tellin the board which players to go and get and they keep coming back empty handed. Who wouldnt be pissed off at that. Dont really think we are on the edge of disaster. I do agree that we dont have the money to compete at the next level but we are in a much better state than we were 6 years ago……..Its now down to the monkeys in the board room to pull their fingers out or they risk losing a damn good premier league manager…..

Wouldn’t get worked up about it, anyway there’s some truth there too.
Should have signed the contract by now, just messing us all about

The guys an idiot.(hatchet)
He’s so blinded by the medias “big 4″,and calls efc little.Just proves a severe lack of footballing knowledge,poor so and so.
Moyes has never let anyone down when it comes to signings,he may not get 7 in but he has the money to spend,its just the negotiations that need to go well.Lets wait until sept 2nd and then laugh at this idiot,who will pick up an award for biggest joke in the sporting media come the end of the season.We will be fine,and successful this season,as long as we have competition for places.1 down a few more to go!

Usual gutter press as we have come to expect regarding Everton.
Jump on the bandwagon why don’t you,get on the manager’s back,none of the Evertonians I know have anything bad to say about Moysie and will back the manager 100%.
Everyone knows Everton don’t have bags of money so maybe David Moyes is being careful with what money he has,
Bringing in guys like Cahill,Arteta,Yakubu,Howard and Lescott to mix with the up and coming kids at Goodison Park,giving Everton European football this season and last,just shows that Everton are on the way back.
No one is shouting saying “we are going to win the league” or a cup!
Everton are trying everything to give the fans the success they deserve and David Moyes deserves a great deal of credit for that and if these halfwits at the Daily Mail want to pick on Moysie then they will have the Goodison Park faithful to answer to!
“In Moyes We Trust!”

I think there’s some truth in what he’s written, although the headline is slightly provocative. Regardless of your opinion of BK, he’s stuck by Moyes, whether through choice or economics, when a significant portion of our support were very unhappy with his performance. BK gave Moyes a break and Everton has made him pretty wealthy in the last 5 years. Moyes’ PR campaign started before the end of last season, when we were stll fighting for 4th place, and it was unwelcome then. For it to have continued throughout the summer is downright unprofessional. He makes a big noise about loyalty, now is the time for him to show some.

Its still worrying that we have so little cover and now reduced to buying the very dross Moyes said he didn’t want to sign.
