Stick or twist on Moyes? - Fans discuss

Will: Moyes may not be perfect but he's perfect for Everton now. Mick: I find it hard to believe that having turned around a team which has been in the relegation dogfight for so many years, there should be any talk of getting rid of Moyes. Finishing in the middle of the table and just missing out on Europe is a great achievement and the team is in much better shape than it was when Moyes arrived.

Everton fans are divided over whether the club should stick with David Moyes or take a chance on a new manager next season. The debate was sparked by fan writer Briony Bragg, who questioned if the club's owners might "roll the dice" on a change. Here's what supporters had to say.

Will sees Moyes as the right man for the job, saying: "Moyes may not be perfect, but he's perfect for Everton now. Leave well enough alone." Mick agrees, pointing to the manager's track record: "I find it hard to believe that having turned around a team which has been in the relegation dogfight for so many years, there should be any talk of getting rid of Moyes. Finishing in the middle of the table and just missing out on Europe is a great achievement. The team is in much better shape than it was when Moyes arrived. Some people seem to have very short memories!"

Sha is also firmly in the "stick" camp, noting: "Changing a relatively successful manager hasn't done any other team any good. He has made a huge difference. Give him another season for sure." Terry adds a cautionary tale: "West Ham didn't stick, and look where they are."

Les believes Moyes deserves more respect: "To even suggest we should change our manager is disrespectful to him. He is not responsible for players missing chances to score, and that trait is putting the defence under pressure. Time and time again we have a one-on-one with the goalkeeper but don't score."

However, not everyone is convinced. Andy acknowledges Moyes has brought stability but feels a change is needed for progress: "I do feel Moyes has brought stability to the club, but I think we need a manager like Andoni Iraola or Oliver Glasner to take us to the next level, like qualifying for Europe. I am aware that The Friedkin Group can be ruthless with managerial changes—just look at Roma, who had four managers within a year."

Tony is more blunt: "We will only ever be nearly-men under Moyes. We will always flatter to deceive. I do not believe that we will actually ever win anything under him. We may have the odd home win against the so-called bigger 'Sky' teams, but we will never win away to any of these same teams. We say careful what you wish for, but I would take a gamble on a more progressive manager."

For now, the debate rages on. Whether Everton stick or twist, one thing is clear: the fans are passionate about the direction of their club.
