Everton manager David Moyes has been regaling the TalkSport audience with his views on just what it is that might be holding back Everton Football Club while taking time out from his summertime role as World Cup pundit and Scottish cheerleader.
"I don't know if a club like Everton can make big huge strides, but we have seen how the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford are doing so there is no reason we all shouldn't have those ambitions to try and at least match those clubs and how they go about it."
Moyes was giving his 2 cents at 2:37:00 in this YouTube video of Jim White's World Cup show, Live in New York:
With the Premier League fixtures for next season just announced, Moyes was asked "You guys, Everton, [have] a home game against Crystal Palace that kicks it off for you. What are the aims for the campaign?"
Moyes: "Well obviously to try and do better than we done last season. We certainly done better last season than we had the previous seasons, but ultimatley you know you're always trying to progress.
"I don't know if a club like Everton now we can make big strides but we see how well the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford are doing, so there's no reason why we all shouldn't have those ambitions to try and at least match those clubs and how they go about it.
"But I would have to say that at Everton we are trying to be back up at the top end of the teams that we can. For long periods of last season, we just didn't quite have enough in the last 4 or 5 weeks of the season."
Not exactly "throwing down the gauntlet to The Friedkin Group" as some observers have claimed...
More like the typical mealy-mouthed down-playing of the abysmal failure of his side to qualify for Europe after sitting in 7th place, above Sunderland, and watching them do exactly that with an attrocious home performance in the last game at Hill Dickinson Stadium, before finishing on just 1 point more than Sean Dyche the previous season, following and execrable return of 3 points from 21 over the final 7 games of the season.

Sometimes when I listen to our own Scottish manager, I get the feeling that he doesn't really like Everton Football Club, Alan J.
You can't blame the manager for everything but Glasner and Iraola both stated they were leaving their respective clubs well before last season ended...
Whereas when it comes to David Moyes, I just get a feeling that the current situation at Everton is tailor-made for a limited manager because it is the perfect disguise for his average limitations.

If I was techno Paul, Id have put up a video of the Dylan classic “The times theyre achangin” in response to Marks post, so the best I can do is tell you its on newsnow Everton, tight now.
Moyes lays down the gauntlet to TSF, with nothing more than a rib-tickler.

I don't think Moyes even likes football, Tony, let alone Everton.
I suspect he is a very competent chess player who thought he could earn more money making footy teams play to a tried and trusted formula.
Rogue tradesman.

I think we should be asking the USA coach what it would take to get him to come and work down by the Mersey.

Darren mate, Moyes is not 'a very competent chess player'. As you know, chess involves making the right moves and moving the bishops in from the flanks.

I stand corrected, Paul. I'm not a chess man myself.
I thought it was all about gathering the troops around your queen and defending for all you are worth

You know Moyes better than chess mate - it's defending the king ......

Stuck with “The Moysiah”...
Playing in a stadium that is fit for a King!

Tony...
I don't think we are stuck with him tbh, a bad start to the season will see him under immense pressure.
The problem is, he will have done the damage by then in the transfer market by wasting money on over-the-hill players.

Good job, lads... that's just wat we need for the weekend, a Moyes slag job!
Give me a mo while I dredge up what it was Tony had been reading...

“Every Day is Like Sunday” should be Moyess theme song, as it sums up how I feel when I watch his teams play.
“This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon, come Armageddon
Come, Armageddon, come
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey.”

Jayzus... Not sure which is worse:
Having to listen to the bloody gambling ads in yer face...
Or having to listen to Moyes drone on about Scotland and England...

Fire him.

A masterclass in spinning failure as success and dumbing down expectations.
He learnt at the feet of the old Bill for sure.
