Tommy Posted 17 May 2005 Posted 17 May 2005 David Moyes has rounded off a memorable season by winning the League Managers' Association manager of the year award. He guided Everton to fourth place in the Premiership this season, which also means a place in the Champions League. "At the start of the season I wondered, 'How can we avoid relegation?' Then we lost Wayne Rooney to Manchester United," said 42-year-old Moyes. "A year ago I was relieved to have escaped relegation. It is amazing how football can turn around."
C-man Posted 17 May 2005 Posted 17 May 2005 Congratulations to David Moyes. taking a team who finished 4th bottom last season and with wayne rooney to 4th top without wayne rooney is fantastic. I applaud you sir
Shum Posted 17 May 2005 Posted 17 May 2005 A magnificent effort for a team were nearly relegated in the previous season. Well done Mr Moyes :thumbsup:
stez Posted 17 May 2005 Posted 17 May 2005 its great to see a manager who has very litle to work with finally winning this award, instead of a 'got it all' manager like fergie or wenger etc mon should of won it every year!

MON Posted 18 May 2005 Posted 18 May 2005 Well done but I really cannot see him doing it again next season.
Craig Posted 18 May 2005 Posted 18 May 2005 Well done but I really cannot see him doing it again next season. 110738[/snapback] Why? Think about the players Everton will be able to attract with Champions League football as their main advert, not forgetting playing in the Premiership; which many european stars consider to be the best league in the world. They'l also have the money to buy these players too.

Everton have NOT yet qualified for the champions league. They have to play a qualifier over two legs. I can see them beating an european team like villareal at home by the odd goal, but away.... forget it. Everton lost their best player (not Rooney), Graverson to Real Madrid. Since then they have not been the same. Also, can you really see players like Martyn, Weir, Feguson, Kilbane, Osman, Stubbs, Pistone doing as well next season. I cannot see it happening. They are all average players who almost got Everton relegated the season before. Because the club have not actually qualified for the Champions League as yet they may refrain from allowing the manager to spend the money that the Champions league will generate, in advance. The last time Moyes was given the oppurturtunity to spend near the closure of the transfer Window he signed the likes of Kilbane, Mcfadden, and some other players which did not simply work in their first season and everton flirted with relegation. If he signs a load of players again near the end of the transfer window, it will rake time for them to gel, and if these "european superstars" that have been purchased don't be fourth in the league this time next year, they will want to leave. Moyes is in a tricky situation, should he go for the superstars or invest in more homegrown, commited, lower league players like he has with Cahill and Bent to a certain extent. For the team to become a established force in the Premier League they need to invest, but due to the circumstances already mentioned this is not viable. Everton need to lay the foundations, improve the youth academy, sign hopeful youngsters and then sign 4 0r 5 key loyal players. With one or two european superstars, Kluivert as an example. Whatever they do, they must not risk putting the clubs future at risk, it should be make secure. This is make or break time for Everton.
Anish Posted 21 May 2005 Posted 21 May 2005 Well done but I really cannot see him doing it again next season. 110738[/snapback] That's beside the point and irrelevant.

It's a good acheivement but now it's a question of whether they can repeat it. I think they can't, what do you think?
Anish Posted 21 May 2005 Posted 21 May 2005 Doesn't really matter - this thread was about David Moyes winning this season's LMA Manager of the Year. Nobody knows how they will fair next season, it's easy to knock them down because they overachieved this year.

Anish you really are an arrogant person, and you seem to adopt a philosiphy of, "I'm better then you." You used to be alright but now your a total moron.
