Has Moyes leaving affected the Honda deal?

Yes, it won't happen now

Considering Moyes was totally in charge of transfers then yes, Moyes leaving would seriously affect the Honda deal.

Who knows though, perhaps the new manager might be interested in Honda and Moyes' other targets, or most likely, will have a new philosophy and new targets.

Basically, people still thinking about Honda, Fer and Negredo, it probably isn't going to happen anymore.

Good game today we were great first half playing good passing football! Chelsea were a lot stronger after the break, but we were more than a match for them! Unlucky not to get at least a point! Bring on next season!

The 'promotion from within' rumours are hotting up with Stubbs, Weir, Ferguson and Neville the names being bandied around. If BK is really this tight and oblivious to fans desires we might as well give up now. When was the last 'promotion from within' success in the Premier League? Ermm. I can't help but think of Sammy Lee at Bolton - disaster.

Shardow Christian Atsu has been dropped from the FC Porto squad for the final league game at Pacos de Ferreira on Sunday. Hopefully he's packing his suitcase ready to fly into John Lennon with his boss morrow morning!

I see Kenwright has hinted at the type of manager he will bring in, from his comment "Everton has a type, a very hard working industrial football club" then I will be truly shocked if the likes of Pereira and Girard are brought in.

More along the lines of McKay, Stubbs etc. This is a shame, I fear we won't get the attractive attacking football we crave, we need that next level, the next phase in Everton's progression hinges on Kenwright choosing the right man

Big few days ahead for the blues, let's hope he chooses wisely

Alex

I'm not saying I disagree Alex, but from what I've read, Pereira is known as a very hard working professional, and is famed in Portugal for instilling a very high work rate in his teams.

AJ is right mate. one of Perieras players stated he works them harder than any other manager

'Everton has a type' my backside!

What a load of balony from kenwright

He's obviously made up his mind on an unstylish grafter and now wants to sell that to us like it's our industrial tradition - what a load of crap - prepare yourself for a massive let down

Kenwright is useless and he got lucky with moyes - now he hasn't a clue what to do so will take moyes advice and put some no mark in the job
Prepare for the bad old days again : (

(And there was Benitez practically asking for the job)

Well quite often the hardest working players have been the most skilled.
For example, Zola and he's a classic rags to riches player.

When Kenwright says Everton have a "type of manager"

Translated means one that is dirt cheap and won't kick up a fuss about the lack of transfer funds.

Fair enough AJ! but I mean generally it seems we won't be attracting a good footballing manager and I feel that's what we need for the next level of progression

Was the tv post match interviewer aware of some 'connection' when he asked both rafa and moyes the same question about whether they would be facing each other next year? It was an odd question to connect them in that way.
Rafa gave a weird smile when giving his ambiguous answer and moyes swerved it too. Hmmm. Rafa would be great because he's a top level winner, which is what we need.

Good luck to moyes, and I thank him for everything he's done, but today perfectly summed up why I'm not sad to see the back of him. 1-1, not dominating it, but definitely in control of the game and he takes off our best striker and brings on jelavic (who should have then scored 4 times), who is hopeless, and takes off Naismith (who shouldn't have started) and brings on a 5th defender. We went on to lose control of the game and lose, and its all moyes' fault. Hope the next manager doesn't play for draws against big teams and actually has some ambition.

Naismith scored mate been out 4 two seasons with cruciate injuries, next year judge him, as for moyes done a great job but he's gone now over to the real problem kenwright,

Best striker who anichebe? the lad is sh. te a championship player at best. two good games a year don't make you a good striker. moyes has over indulged victor for to long. if you've got any ambition to win trophies you wouldn't have him near your first team. I wouldn't pick him pudding or beef on the holler mate. I hope whoever takes over gets shut of him. apart from his strength which he very rarely uses, christ even sideshow bob luiz was bullying him off the ball today. he adds nothing, he doesn't take up positions in the box never on his toes looking to create space and loose a defender he's static all the time unless you play the ball to his feet he won't move. then again when you do he falls over waving his arms all over the place.

Jimmy, couldn't agree more pal, possibly the most infuriating striker I've seen at our club in my 47 years, don't rate the lad one jot, and as you say, hope the new boss gets shut of him

19 May 2013 16:16:15
Naismiths first start in his preferred position and gets on the score sheet, ed007 you might be onto something! COYB

SydneyBlue {Ed007's Note - Did you ever doubt me... :-) On second thoughts, maybe you shouldn't answer that one Sydney.}

He's playing wide right and had been pretty poor bar the goal

Haha in all honesty Ed from watching videos of him play for rangers I have never really doubted him or you, I have more so just been amazed that his performances for us have been so different. But you can clearly see today how much more comfortable he is playing in a more central role.

SydneyBlue {Ed007's Note - It always helps if you are playing in your natural position especially when you are trying to win over fans at a new club.}

Very true mate, looks like he's been pushed out wide again now though.

SydneyBlue

Mirallas hasn't been playing in his preferred position but he still managed to win over the fans. But I do think, depending on who the next manager is, him and jela might have a good season.

Mirallas needs to play up front next season with Naismith in behind.

19 May 2013 15:37:46
Naismith to start ahead of Barkley in Ossie's absence. Hopefully that should remind of just how slim the chance of him starting under Moyes is, and put an end to all of these transfer rumours.

Simple maths or us Blues

If we sign Rafa or Periera we have a few bob to spend

If we recruit from inside or get Martinez we dont

This coming week will give us an idea of whether we have money available or not

Bring on Periera please Bill

Degsy

You think we'll have someone in that quick degs? I think it could be a few weeks mate.
Joe EFC

19 May 2013 16:24:33
I think by Tuesday Joe, just a feeling mate

Degsy

I think your right there Degs someone more high profile will definitely demand funds where someone given the job internally will be expected to work in moyes' shadow. Bill and the board need to show some ambition.

Think Phil Neville will get the job. BK has given his biggest hint yet it's a promotion from within. Unfortunately this will not appease all Evertonians who think we need someone from the outside to take our game to next level. But, there is no reason why we can't progress if it was Neville. He's a very intelligent football person and think his opinion of how to play the game would be modern. He would not be a lump it up field manager at all. He's not our first choice for the job but if he got it, I would be feeling quite optimistic going into the season. If its a Stubbs, Ferguson or Weir, then I think we can be worried. This isn't a plea for Neville as manager, just what I think might be round the corner. So trying to see the positives. The other 3, other than raw passion for the club, I can't see many positives right now.

I would be happy with Phil Neville if his brother was no. 2 between what a wealth of premier league experience and what great motivators they would be

Na I wudnt if he manages how he played god help us side side ways back long punts no thanks (bluejack)

Hi lads
I was thinking before in a way I can't wait fr next season to see what happens we have so many good young players who've hardly had a sniff all season. I'm only 18 so moyes is all I've really ever new think move Neville on and maybe keep Ossie and hibbo for another 2 seasons max but they should only be good squad players I would love to see the likes of lundstram and Barkley and long ect brake into the first team next season cheers lewblue

Love to see Barkley, Duffy, ludstrum, Kennedy, junior, vellios and stones given a chance COYB! Future is bright future is blue

Long is a better prospect than vellios!

How is George green progressing?

George green has had an injury plagued season he has made the odd appearance for the u21s and played some u18 football but he hasn't been as impressive as other academy players who we didn't spend 1 million on still looks promising though

I am a huge Martinez fan and but it's beginning to look like he won't be the man. I think what he achieved with Wigan was miraculous, given they're a club of the size and budget of a very average championship side.

Of course they were going to get relegated eventually - they just haven't got the resources or the fanbase and they can't generate income without selling players like Valencia, Nzogbia and Moses. Look at the resources Villa, Southampton, Sunderland, Newcastle, Reading and QPR have at their disposal. When everyone was fit this season, Wigan were better than those clubs.

I can't see anyone producing better football on limited funds than Martinez. Where was Moyes when Maloney came available at a knockdown price? Where was he when McManaman was released as a sixteen year old?

Martinez deserves a shot with a bigger club than Wigan but I suspect he'll be off back to Spain and that will be a shame for the Premier League.

Does he need boat fare, or would he like a lift to the airport, anything to keep this man away from our club.

Martinez behaved like WAFC were on the brink of CL football next season instead of the Championship! (iceberg? what iceberg? )

He fooled Whelan into thinking he was the luckiest and probably the shrewdest chairman in the PL!

He (Whelan) is now just another chairman who made a reckless and naive business plan!

When it's a cold and wet November Saturday and the WAFC fans have to travel to a non- exciting mid table clash in the Championship, I wonder if he will rue this seasons extravagant approach to to playing a league fit for the very best players in the world?

Let Roberto get them back up, it's the least he can do now!
