For me, it should have been between David Moyes, Marcelo Bielsa, Dean Smith and Brendan Rodgers. I don't think anyone would have predicted them to have the season they did, with the resources available to them.

Dean Smith.............. wash your mouth out, can’t stand the man!

I don’t like him either, but if you’re looking at teams that did better than expected you can’t say exclude him, IMO.

They should add a Not The Rich Six manager of the year award....

More reports Everton are looking to speak to Moyes as he was in the running before they appointed Ancelotti. Moyes’ family are still up north & he lives in a London flat currently.

EXETERHAMMER

I wonder where Lampards next job will be

Kuchinghammer

Hope he gets experience as Assistant Manager somewhere..

OutcastLondoner

Lampard’s better than an assistant manager IMO. At least a championship manager and maybe a lower table Premier League one. Somewhere like Brighton if Potter was poached.

claretandbluesky

He would have been a perfect assistant to Tuchel but not now obviously.

The Palace job would suit but not sure they would offer a sufficient budget that would be needed to take them forward.

Lukerz

Nuno is the number 1 contender for the Everton job. Says Moyes is also a leading candidate and his family home is still on Merseyside.

To be honest I can’t see Moyes returning to a club with no unfinished business. He was there 11 years. Time to move on from that.

Dodger58

And Nuno leaving Wolves due to his family being in Portugal - although may now be ‘easier’ for them to come over. However that would also have been the case for staying at Wolves.

steve

Just woke from a little nap ,is moyes still with us or heading up to Everton as i write

Lukerz

Does make you wonder why he has not signed a new deal yet. He should have had one back in January when we were sat in the top five. It’s now June & he still doesn’t have a new contract. If he was to leave now the last year would have been for nothing. All the media reporting Moyes is their main target alongside Nuno. The owners need to sort this out.

Fortuneseeker

Lurkerz, I know what you mean but in the last year we have qualified for the Europa League so it won’t be a total waste. 👍

DJ Hammer

It’s still worrying that he could be tempted back to Everton especially with his family still in that area

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I read that he’d triggered a year extension at some point this year, so I don’t think he’s currently out of contract.

thornburyiron

I think it’s quite common for managers living away from their families for the length of their contract given that they normally do not fulfil the full length of it. Their families have a fairly stable life and it would not benefit kids etc to constantly move around the country.

Fortuneseeker

Does anyone know did DM take his family to Sociedad with him?

claretandbluesky

I imagine Moyes children are all grown up by now?

Slacker

I read yesterday that Moyes took a 30% pay cut during the pandemic to help with staff wages and avoid redundancies. He’s also a Labour Party supporter.
Whaddaguy.

claretandbluesky

I also read at the time he was driving groceries around to the needy in the first pandemic.

Not quite the Govt busting exploits of Marcus Rashford but still a hands on guy with a strong moral compass. I like him.

steve

perhaps someone can lend moyes a pen clearly he needs one

ASLEFshrugged

Football Insider claim an "inside source" has told them that Moyes has committed to signing a new contract after talks yesterday

ASLEFshrugged

Moyes had an article in the Times on Friday, UEFA have invited him to be a "technical observer" at the Euros, "analysing the games and compiling a report on the tactical trends". He did it in 2016 and has also been analysing this season's Champions League.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/why-throw-ins-and-back-threes-will-be-crucial-at-euro-2020-2hh97c9lr

Hmmm, I wonder if other Premier League teams will object to us getting an unfair advantage? They have to pay to scout players at the Euros, we're getting ours paid for by UEFA

IronHerb

They should have more astute managers then. 🤓

Ravel49

I’m surprised Celtic aren’t in for him

ASLEFshrugged

He was linked with Celtic but why would he want to leave a club where the record signing is £45m (Haller) for a club where the record signing is £9.27m (Odsonne Édouard, 2018)?

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Do we not have the option to extend his deal for 12 months?

So don't think there is any immediate worry, plenty of time to negotiate over a long term one even if for now we just extend his current one

yoyo

As for a Celtic approach, I thought the Aussie bloke with the long Greek name was in the frame and virtually a shoe in?
