Kenwright caught off guard by United move for Moyes

*chuckles*

I hope whoever comes in galvanises the players and supporters to try and achieve what we did when Rooney left for United.

Kenwright has known that Moyes was Old Trafford bound for years.

"Paul Tyrell, the Merseyside club’s director of communications, said: “There has been no approach by Manchester United to Everton regarding manager David Moyes.

“The relationship is such between both clubs that any contact would be made officially through the club.

“David is still under contract at Everton and so any approach would be official.”

Chairman bill, may you live for a thousand years!

Any potential managerial targets will be queuing around the block to be employed by a general such as this.

Kenright will wish Moyes the best, correctly, and focus on who next in for us, not the future of ManU's new manager.

I'm an all-in Moyesist. Hate he's leaving. But once he leaves my only interest is who our next manager will be, God help us.

On the other hand!! Fella and Baines gone (and they are) will give the new guy in a lot of dosh to spend. Kenright and them HAVE to make the money available.

They do, don't they?

Ross is a WUM and knows it. 2 different things.

Respond to others. Not him. He's not in your league.

We and the Club move on and I don't think it's that which pisses me off a bit. What I find distasteful is Moyes past history in telling everyone "the correct way of doing things". Regardless of what he might say, his reluctance/refusal to sign a contract and leave it to the end of the season definitely affected the players.

Secondly, and more important, we still have two fucking games to play!! What happened to the "let's leave it to the end of the season" shite?! Let Man Utd announce Ferguson's retirement whenever they want as it's their business. Moyes could have and should have had the decency to leave it a couple of weeks.

As for Kenwright, he really is the prick a lot of people say he is. Possibly, if he and his shit Board had backed Moyes up over the years, he wouldn't be embarrassing himself and the Club on telly!!!

No doubt, when the time comes, and the new man is chosen & named, this site will be snowed under with those for & against.

The summer is going to be hotter than usual.

How can this man be allowed to run our club. I truly fear for us next season; we will lose our best players in the transfer window and get another yes-man who will manage with what he's got just to get the fucking job.

Everything is playing into Kenwright and the board's hands. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Why HAS this all happened with two games to go?

Why could all yesterday's events not have happened a day after the last game?

In other words nobody says anything until the season is over, then Fergie retires and Moyes is named successor.

The only reason I can think of is so the managers get their farewells.

Fine for Fergie but means in effect, we get the following situation.

The manager of another team will be in charge of Everton for the last couple of games.

It'll be interesting to see if Moyes carries on in the dugout for our final two games, it'll be a bit of a odd if he does, bit odd if he doesn't.

I still believe this, I think Moyes knew and I think BK probably knew as well.

Now, maybe, BK was trying to get Moyes to sign a contract and Moyes told Fergie "I need to know now what's happening" which is why the news came out sooner that Ferguson wanted. Basically Moyes forced their hand.

And what this means is that Moyes has pretty much shafted us. He knows better than anyone our financial situation and now he can walk away for free. No compensation at all.

Which in turn means we'll be picking up one of the free agents ourself. Look out for Oneill or Hughes. Or McClaren. We are screwed.

Rooney wants out already!

Which explains why he kept his options open and wouldn't sign a new contract - it's not hard to imagine a conversation between Whiskey Nose and DM along the lines of "I'm approaching 73, if I can get yet another Premiership title under my belt and/or another Champions League I'm inclined to pack it in in the summer of 2013 ... you're my chosen successor Davie son, don't be signing any long term contracts at Everton, we'll see where we are in May and if I change my mind you can do what's best for yourself then".

So to say Blue Bill had no idea is plain daft, he must have realised something was happening with DM's apparent indecision, what was bulllshit was DM insisting that he wanted to see where Everton were at this stage, in reality he meant where Sir WN was!

Hope all the Moyes haters will be happy when we are struggling next season.
Guttered

We will not struggle next season, we may slip a few places but who knows, we could move upwards too?

Somebody somewhere on a golf course let the cat out of the bag on Monday.
The press got hold of the rumour and everything snow balled.
Utd had to come out and state what was going on.

Although not confirmed as the new man u manager yet I do think Moyes obviously must have been sounded out some time ago about Ferguson retiring.
P.Neville most likely would have known about the approach.
W.Rooney asking for a move some weeks ago was another clue.

I think Kenwright has to shoulder his responsibility as a chairman for not insisting Moyes sign a new contract ( even short term) or walk.
He has again failed to protect the clubs financial interests.

Moyes has proven himself to be "builder" of teams at the level Everton are at just now.
It remains to be seen if he can do the job at Utd.

I hope he means merchandise and not Players!

But really reading the live link on the Echo website and you can see that this man although well intended is seriously out of his depth. He is points out that

RE:We've worked exceptionally hard to keep hold of Chang.
RE: We are a club that is easy to buy from, we are working hard to achieve that

RE: The search for a brand new stadium goes on; we are in dialogue with Liverpool City Council and one plot of land discussed very seriously.

It is obviously the holy grail as far as this board and management is concerned they want out of Goodison and that appears to be their only aim.
