What David Moyes said to Gary Lineker about Everton justifies major Friedkin Group decision

Developing a relationship with a fan base takes time for some managers. Some people never gain the backing of

their fans. However, it wasn’t because he had led Everton out at the new Wembley, secured back-to-back top six

finishes, or led the Blues into the Champions League, unlike during his first stint as manager of the team.

Rather, it was because he had just accomplished a goal that Sean Dyche had been unable to accomplish this

season. Naturally, that means managing consecutive Premier League triumphs.

After a fierce battle, Brighton & Hove Albion was defeated 1-0 at the Amex thanks to a penalty kick from Iliman

Ndiaye in the first half. Only six days had passed since the team’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at

Goodison Park.

After leading his 700th Premier League game, Moyes was naturally thrust into the spotlight after the game on the

South Coast. In one of his post-match interviews, the Scot explained why Blues fans have fallen back in love with

him so quickly. “I think so [being at Everton means more],” he said when asked if winning football games as

manager felt a little bit more special by Gary Lineker on Match of the Day. “I know exactly what the fans are

looking for, and they were fantastic again today,” he stated.

“They didn’t have much to brag about in the second half, but today’s victory and last week’s victory over

Tottenham give us back-to-back victories for the first time this season. It’s fantastic that we are able to implement

it for the supporters.

“Everton has always held a particular place in my heart. Before, I spent eleven and a half fantastic years here,

making some amazing memories. I’ll try how far I can push myself, but I’m not sure whether I’ll do another eleven

and a half.

Developing a relationship with a fan base takes time for some managers. Some never get the support of those who

support them.

Too frequently under Farhad Moshiri’s ownership, he chose managers who just didn’t understand Everton and

didn’t connect with fans.Supporters found it difficult to relate to Sam Allardyce, and many believed that the Blues

had resorted to the now 70-year-old, demonstrating their decline.

There was always a sense that Ronald Koeman was using the Blues as a springboard to greater and more ambitious

endeavors.Simply put, Rafa Benitez shouldn’t have been selected in the first place. It was always going to end the

way it did, and he had too much history with the club.

 

Something never felt quite right, even with Sean Dyche. The connection between Dyche and Blues fans felt like a

marriage that was always destined to end in divorce.

It took Moyes exactly thirty-two seconds to win the admiration of the Etonians during his first stint as manager.

This time, he didn’t quite have the same forceful start.

Nevertheless, after three games of his second stint, things already feel extremely different. Even if it’s early, the

Scot seems like the ideal candidate to turn around the club’s woes.

The Friedkin Group only took over the club in December, but already they have got the first two big decisions they

needed to make right. And what Moyes said to Lineker not only highlighted why they were right to part company

with Dyche but also why they were right to turn to him in the club’s hour of need.

Moyes gets Everton. He understands what supporters want to see. He is, just like he was in 2002, the manager

the Goodison Park club needs.
