Welcome to Goodison Park

He did alright at Spurs, but finished 5th with Hamburg and failed to win the league with the biggest club in Holland (outdone by the mighty McClaren). Last season he probably did as you would expect with Fulham, but they are dreadful this year. There are other managers out there with much better track records that I wouldn't go near either so I don't know why he's even mentioned.

Personally I think he overachieved at Spurs and 5th with Hamburg is about right for them. Yes he failed at Ajax but he did a reasonable job at Fulham last season and even this season they're almost on course to finish in the top half again. I mean who would you approach if you were in charge at Everton?

Martinez won more trophies than Moyes.

So have Alex McLeish and Steve McClaren to name two, it doesn't all come down to trophies. The job Moyes did over a decade can't be denied.

(Not putting Martinez in the same category as McLeish and McClaren btw. Rate Martinez and think he'd be a good choice for Everton)

Classy, classy fans.

My arguments were that Martinez could win trophies at Everton, given the experience he had with a bottom team at Wigan.

Ah right, thought you were questionning Moyes! Yeah he could do, if he gets it.

Marouane Fellaini is set to dye his hair silver after fans raised over £25,000 for Everton in the Community.

The Belgian international will now put his iconic hair in the hands of award-winning celebrity colourist, Josh Wood, and will reveal his new look at the Club’s End of Season Awards on Thursday.

Apparently Mike Phelan and Eric Steele have been sacked from Utd so it looks like Steve Round and Chris Woods might be on their way out of Everton with Moyes

He may claim he’s “mellowed”, but Manchester United players shouldn’t start thinking David Moyes will be a breath of fresh air compared to the hairdryer ferocity of Sir Alex Ferguson.

At Everton, there is genuine respect and affection for the manager who has transformed many of the squad’s careers, yet they instantly recognise a narrow-eyed toughness within the Scot.

Just ask Marouane Fellaini.

The Belgium international credits Moyes, who will succeed the retiring Fergie as Manchester United manager this summer, with catapulting him into the top tier of players, and describes him as “good guy”.

Yet he also cheerfully admits to being intimidated by the drive and desire of the man who paid £16million to bring him to the Goodison club.

And he offers a hilarious but chilling case in point, when Moyes was reduced to incandescent fury after Fellaini head-butted Stoke’s Ryan Shawcross during a game in December, earning a three-match ban at a crucial stage of the season.

Moyes was so angry, he made the Belgian train all over Christmas with the kids even though he was suspended, and even dragged him in on December 25 itself.

But that wasn’t the worst moment, as Fellaini attests.

“He is a decent man, a great manager, but believe me he can be tough. If you want to win something, to create a good team you have to be hard sometimes with the players - football is like this.

“He can be scary.

“I remember when I was banned after the Stoke game, he gave everyone the day off - everyone: The players, the entire staff - but I came to the training camp to do a training session with him.

“It was just me and him, and it is not easy to go into the camp to face him like that.

“I understood, because I knew I had made a mistake, but you know it’s not easy when you know you have let him down. Just going in there knowing you have to look him in the eye was hard!

“He put me through a tough session... it was a full-on session, running, shooting, passing, everything and very intense, and afterwards I was upset.

“I said afterwards, ‘Arggh, this is bad’, but I am happy when he looked after me, so I understand.”

In explaining the incident, Fellaini can’t suppress a broad smile as he re-lives - even now, five months later - the sweaty feeling of dread that gripped him on his way into training.

Yet he explains it is a measure of the manager, and an example of his desire to get the best out of players in every way possible.

“It was his way of telling me I had let the team down - it is how he is good manager, and he made sure I knew I had to face him,” Fellaini added.

“That way, I knew it was my mistake and I had to make up for it, to try hard to make it up to the team. It didn’t make the journey in to face him any easier though. He is a great manager - he knows when he has to be tough.”

Fellaini recently dyed his hair silver to mark the fundraising efforts of Everton in the Community and the 25th anniversary of the charity, but the next day immediately went back to his natural colour for fear of what his manager would say!

United players may wonder exactly what they are in for next, after enduring Ferguson’s hard-edged approach for so long, but the Belgian star believes the Old Trafford squad are getting a manager with similar outstanding qualities.

And he explained Moyes departs with nothing but good wishes from the Blues squad, for everything he has done for them.

“It is Manchester United - every body wants to manage that club, and he had the big chance, so everybody understands his decision - we are happy for him as he has ambition as well, I think,” he said.

“He was so important to me, he gave me my chance and he has done everything for me. He gave me the confidence to play at this level, I learnt a lot from him.

“Yes, he’s strict! But he’s a good guy, a good manager and every year I progress with him and get to a higher level, so he has been important for me - I can say thank you to him for everything he has done.

I've not seen one comment on it being good. Every single comment on it from an Everton fan is calling it a disgrace and shocking. I'm fucking fuming. Everton wilfully upset their whole fanbase and it's going to end in fucking tears.

Even that fucking video, Showing how they came up with it, claiming that this new design was ‘created following an extensive consultation process with fans, supporters’ group etc blah blah blah.

It's easier to reproduce as well? FUCK OFF. So this is about cost saving and spitting in the fans faces with that piece of shit? Some one is going to get there fucking face smashed in tonight.

I don't trust him though!
