Moyes: Au Revoir

Moyes bids adieu

Long-serving Everton boss David Moyes bids adieu to Everton this week as he embarks on a new adventure with league champions Manchester United. The Scot had become a part of the furniture at Goodison Park during his 11 year stay in Merseyside. Despite failing to win a single trophy at the club, Moyes is often praised for getting Everton to high league finishes despite having little or no money to spend on transfers.

The 50-year-old had postponed contract talks to the end of the season although was still expected to renew his contract and stay with the Toffees for the upcoming season, but the prospect of managing Manchester United - who had just announced the retirement of managerial legend Sir Alex Ferguson - was too attractive for Moyes to turn down.

Moyes will replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford

After Everton's last home game of the season - a 2-0 win over West Ham - Moyes spoke to the media.

"It was really emotional from the moment I came in: all the stewards were standing and clapping me and I didn't know what to do," he said.

"I came here 11 years ago and it was really emotional walking out on to the pitch, a lot of people didn't know who I was I don't think."

Toffees fans hailed their manager after the game

"I am gobsmacked, very thankful and humble for what the people of Everton have shown today. What I will miss is what you saw in the middle of the second half - the supporters were not cheering David Moyes, they were cheering their football club and standing up for it. I thought that was the toughest part for me today - it was a difficult time - because the crowd showed how big Everton are and what it means to them."

Aside from Moyes, fans also cheered on Everton captain Phil Neville in his last home game - although he did not play - as well as returning hero Tim Cahill.

Chairman Bill Kenwright confirmed that the club had already begun the search for a new manager, and that they were hopeful they would find a suitable candidate within two weeks. Wigan manager Roberto Martínez is the favourite at this stage, but pundits as well as former players are calling for Kenwright to give people like former captain David Weir - now a coach at Everton - a chance. Moyes has also insisted that he would be happy to help Kenwright in selecting his successor. The biggest decision Kenwright has had to make in 11 years will determine what fate lies before the Merseyside club.
Looking forward to this. Good luck mate. :p

Good luck Arvind. What drives a Liverpool fans to begin a Everton story?

An Avrind story is a story worth following :P

@wellsy: Cheers :D
@Paddy: I always fancied giving them a go, even though I'm a Liverpool fan, I don't really hate them and all..plus I wanted to see how many goals Fellaini can score from corners XD
@Louis: I see. So an Arvind story isn't worth following? :/
I am absolutely horrified I am not the first to comment!

Nevertheless it's a brilliant start and I can't wait to see the rest of it.

If you don't finish at least one season I'll ask Akash to ban you :P

Good start, I hope you don't sell too many stars!

A really good start to the story. It will definitely be one to follow.

@Glenn: Thanks, and if he does, maybe I'll finally get out of this place :P XD
@Neal: You'll have to wait and see. :P
@James: Thanks, and let's hope I keep it that way!

Rob: I'm your man

Martínez set for Everton job?


News coming out of Goodison Park suggests that Wigan manager Roberto Martínez is set for the role of Everton boss following David Moyes' departure to champions Manchester United. Wigan endured a bittersweet final month as they caused a huge upset against Manchester City to win the F.A Cup - their first major piece of silverware in their history - but also sealed their relegation to the nPower Championship.

Roberto could be on his way out of the DW Stadium

Martínez is unwilling to stay any further and rebuild unless he is given the sufficient monetary resources at Wigan - which seems to be unlikely - and chairman Dave Whelan appears to have no option but to reluctantly accept that the Spaniard will be leaving, but it is likely that he will ask Everton for a big compensation fee of around £2m.

The former Swansea boss was seen at Everton chairman Bill Kenrwright's offices two days ago - presumably for an interview, and according to our sources both parties have happily agreed to a deal and an official announcement is imminent.

Ralf: I'm Ready

Rangnick gatecrashes Everton boss race


German Ralf Rangnick has gatecrashed the race to become the Toffee's new boss.

The former Schalke gaffer has told Bill Kenwright that he will appoint any one of club legends Alan Stubbs, David Weir or Phil Neville as his #2 if he gets the job - and groom them to become the next boss by teaching them the tricks of the trade - an idea which appeals to the chairman. Each one of the trio wants to try their hand in management and are likely to leave unless they are offered a position better than a regular first-team coach, and Kenwright is desperate to keep them.

During his second spell with Die Königsblauen, Rangnick led them to their first ever UEFA Champions League semi-final, where they lost to Manchester United. However, he quit a few months later citing exhaustion, and has held the role of Sport Director for RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg since 2012. Although, he now says that he's ready to get back into management.

The 54 year-old is said to have met Kenwright in London and created a huge impression with his thinking and impeccable English.

Rangnick has given Kenwright something to think about

And now, the Martinez camp is sweating.

The Spaniard has made his desire to leave Wigan quite clear and he could be left high and dry if Rangnick is hired instead of him. Martinez is still the favourite to be hired, but his margin of lead has been considerably shortened since the German has entered the race.

Martinez is sweating about his next job

Worryingly for Martinez, all other Premier League clubs who have sacked their manager have already found a replacement, and he has effectively cut all ties with Wigan by publicly announcing his intention to leave following their relegation.
Will follow this. I like Everton :) Good luck!
