Richard Keys says he is “hurtled” to see Everton in such a mess following their defeat at the hands of former manager David Moyes.
The host defended the Irons manager by writing on his blog on March 4 that he was “pleased” to see West Ham succeed.
He claimed that Evertonians yearn for the Goodison Park of old, when the Scot managed the team, and cited the Toffees’ troubles as justification for why Moyes should be given a new contract at the London Stadium.
Keys wrote: “I was happy to see West Ham earn a win that moves them back into 7th place, but it hurts a little bit to see Everton in as much difficulty as they are. While in East London, what are they doing? Why haven’t they presented Moyes with a deal yet? You know what, he’s right: West Ham has never experienced a better moment than the one he is presenting. Never. Moyes has accomplished amazing things at the club.
It was appropriate, in a way, that he reiterated his message at Everton. Now, how much would they give to go back to the days when they were competing in finals and placing in the CL? It would be wise for Karen Brady to take a lesson from the past. Fans of the Hammers would too.
Everton under Sean Dyche used as support for David Moyes
Many of the team’s supporters would rather return to the Moyes era rather than the never-ending instability of the present Merseyside situation.
Few could have imagined at the time how disastrous the much-anticipated investment that arrived with Farhad Moshiri would have been.
Sean Dyche could counter that he has performed admirably under the given circumstances and that he could generate comparable results if he weren’t always putting out fires at Goodison.
The criticism levelled against the former Burnley manager’s style of play is comparable to that levelled at West Ham against Moyes.
It is unlikely to expect an ailing squad to be a delight to watch at all times given the low level of investment in this Everton team, especially in comparison to the massive increase of spending elsewhere as the Premier League TV deals have expanded.
Furthermore, Dyche is unable to enact laws regarding visiting goalkeepers conserving their best for visits against the Toffees, his own players’ unwillingness to take risks, or the constantly shifting number of points his team is permitted to have in response to events occurring off the field.
