Moyes still to serve out his contract

Why should he know? After all, he is "only the chairman" and his manager is about to leave.

Pitiful.

I know nothing.

I wonder what they discussed in their scheduled meeting?

To be fair to Kenwright, it isn't really his news to break. He isn't stupid enough to announce the next Man U manager....that said if he is going Martinez as a replacement we'll all know about it from David Whelan before the club make any statement.

Geesh - why can't people just WAIT for news, rather than hounding people?

Turns out speculations right - I can't believe it! Thought all this 'Im waiting till the end of the season to discuss my contract...' business was the usual contract game we all play. Then BAMM! Here I am right in the shit! Bollocks!

Any way, nothing a good meal up West wont cure - besides I can't knock him to be honest, he's kept me in a job for the past decade after all! Taxi!"

Bill Kenwright may not have the money but he has the power but unfortunately he entrusted that power to his manager an employee of the club with no natural allegiance to us. Bill Kenwright should stand down as Chairman and allow someone who will work tirelessly 24/7 to improve all aspects of the club, we are in no position to have a part time our of town chairman.

Whoever comes to the club as Manager should be treated as such and demands must be made of them in exchange for a good salary, Bill Kenwright must show that he is in charge and not abdicate his responsibilities to what after all is an employee of the club.

If Moyes is announced as United Manager in waiting today or tomorrow, he should fuck off immediately and not treat the club with disrepect by looking for a good send off from the 'Plucky' Everton faithful on saturday.

I can think of maybe 150000 weekly reasons why he'd want to go to that 'bigger' job, but it really fucks me off to think that less than 25 years ago the clubs were considered peers. Thanks Bill.

If it is announced that he is taking over at Man Utd as of the 1st July - which to be honest Everton can do nothing about and for Moyes is a great move - then he should be put on gardening leave with immediate effect. I fail to see the point in having him hanging around.

Kenwright and Elstone are obviously way, way out of their depth and this episode has I hope put the final nail in both of their coffins.

Surely a man of his intelligence could be more professional and keep his feelings in check. Instead, they are over-exaggerated and delivered with an "I understand your pain" look all over his face.

I wonder what film Kenwright thought he was starring in last night when that Sky reporter was asking him those questions?

They have just won the League at a canter, so you can't really top that - the only way is down regarding the title.

That leaves the Champions League - can you see Moyes lifting that trophy in the next three years?

When a legend like Fergie leaves a club like Man U, it will give the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, City added belief that their domination of the domestic scene is over.

An extremely tough ask for Mr. Moyes, he will have two seasons to lift a trophy or two, and he has to be in with a shout of winning the League after 30 games every season. Massive pressure from the very first kick of next season.

"I think, at the end of the day, David's contract is up in six weeks' time and he has a right to make his own decisions."

Is a blatant kick in the balls to all Evertonians. Is he saying that Moyes is more important than our club? Lets get Davey sorted then we will worry about what happens at plucky little Everton.

The man is a bumbling idiot. Are there any Everton fans out there who still support Kenwright in charge of OUR club?

*tumbleweed*

No one?

Don't worry Paul, "watch this space"

If Moyes is going to Utd, what exactly do you expect BK to say? He can't suddenly break the news. Are people disappointed that Moyes might think Man Utd are a bigger club than us?

Reality check time. You'll get your news soon enough.

However my point is how has the chairman of Everton football club allowed the situation to develop whereby Everton FC are waiting for the manager to make up his mind about our future?

Or do you believe that Bill will have a plan in place?

Why should we allow an outside club dictate what we say about our own business? Kenwright needs to manage Everton and the dignity and expectations of Evertonians not pander to Man Utdand the media. He's a fucking incompetent shithouse.

For a man of supposed moral standing he's been arrogant, self serving and highly hypocritical.

For a man of supposed moral standing he's been arrogant, self serving and highly hypocritical.

I'm sure he is drawing up a short list. I would also hope that if Moyes announces that he's got his next job, that he would be stood down. But we're not there yet.

The man is so very suited to his theatre business but so very far away from being a football chairman.

And to think this buffoon is going to be interviewing for DM's replacement. God help us.....!!

Totally disagree. I believe Moyes will honour his contract. What would be the point of him signing a new one only to renege on it a few months later..?

Now that would be hypocritical.

The outcry for the lack of compensation is ridiculous. We are not an injured party, nor have we been wronged..

I suppose I will be a "happy clapper" as I will be clapping a man who has brought us from relegation fodder to European hopefuls, a man who is going to one of the biggest clubs in the world and it's an easy way to say thanks for your service..see ya!

After the season ends he is the Man U manager and this "happy clapper" will turn to his new manager and says, 'right, what are you going to do for Everton?"

he's just like everyne else in the game.... and thats fine so long as you don't pretend to be something more holy.

Fair enough. I cant help wondering though if any of the substantial numbers wishing DM well on here ever joined in the outpourings of hatred and,vitriol against the likes of Gary Speed,Nick Barmby,Tomasz Radzinski,Wayne Rooney,Joleon Lescott etc wheh they decided to test the waters elsewhere.?
Ok they may not have been out of contract but the situations were not disimilar.

For. what it is worth I am sorry to see him go..If he had stayed he may well have.got us in a top four finish next season.However,It seems to me that the "plucky little Everton, punching above their weight" scenario, which he himself did a lot to cultivate never really had much foundation. In recent years we have been between 6th. and 8th in England. in terms of income which of course is where we have been finishing in the table!!

As stated, I will clap him for doing a good job under difficult conditions. Never once on this site have a said anything other than he is an above average manager managing an above average team.

Standards? Possibly a little different than," I want, I want, I want"

Who gives a shit if Moyes is found out at Old Trafford if he goes there. If he does, the Everton king is dead, long live the Everton king! Life goes on. Let's just hope we don't get a wanker who fucks the whole thing up.

Lot's of Toffewebbers will be delighted if he does go but, let's be frank, who is good enough to replace him with the funds that are made available. He's been a good manager for the money. Good luck to him if he moves on the Man Utd providing we beat them.

Barmby - Got into the England squad and jibbed us for the Red Spawn - not comparable

Radzinski - Pretty much called us crap and went off to "further his career" - not comparable

Rooney - Agent, who has proved a liar, engineered a move away and subsequently Rooney was proven a liar and forced to pay out Moyes - not comparable

Lescott - Pretty much went on strike for the Arsenal game forcing a move - not comparable

Everton have made him one of the super rich. Everton offered Moyes a lucrative new contract, he didn't accept and neither did he refuse it, kept his options open and thereby strung us all along. If he still appears in the dug out at Goodison next game, I will boo him. If he goes to MUFC then I hope it's a failure for MUFC and him.

Tony J - when was the last time a manager left for a rival and stayed on to lead his old team?
When did you last applaud a Man Utd manager at Goodison?

Far better he buggars off before Sunday and we'll give a decent reception when he brings his new team to Goodison - until kick-off, that is

Maybe a new picture of him leaving on the Goodison timeline with the caption ' that's fucking gratitude for you'

Truth be told this deal was a long time in the making, Moyes knew he was leaving and so did Bill. The board will have an idea of who is to replace him or as tradition goes Moyes will have sounded out the right man like Walter did before him.

The one thing I can guarantee though is our board has done nothing since knowing about all this and will only start to do something after Moyes is on the front page of every paper in the country, whereas our former manager's new employers will have planned everything to the last detail before christmas, or even earlier than that. That, my friends is the difference between the largest club in the world, and Everton.

Absolutely can't wait for his book on his time at Goodison though.

Cracker!

I'll keep clapping Paul, you just keep screaming I want, I want and you'll see that neither of our actions has fuck all to do with who runs the team.

Signed

The Nugget (related)

I have no doubt that undisclosed sums of money have been paid to the club in order to 'prise' David Moyes away to OT.

This is a new low in "blue bill's" chairmanship. We look pathetic. I guess money is power and a chairman with money wouldn't have stood for Moyes' bigger than the club mentality. That being said a chairman like that would've sacked Moyes after his second season.
