David Moyes...

[Marney&Mee]

Chatting with him earlier on the front at Lytham (he lives there). No actually on the front like a tramp, but a house just off it.
What a friendly down to earth chap. Says they won’t be going back in for Tarks, but Tarks was very keen on the move.
Thinks Dyche will go this season if the right job comes up. I said, where realistically would he go. He said Newcastle. He also said palace would have been back in for him had Hodgson started the season badly.
I mentioned Alex Neil as being one who would do well in the PL. He agreed..said he was harshly treated at Norwich.
Always thought moyes was an arrogant so and so. How wrong I was

I'm a bit sceptical that he discussed his clubs transfer dealings with some complete stranger he's just bumped into in the street.

How long has he lived there? I know he lived close to Barry Kilby at one time.

I think Dyche would have gone if West Ham had dispensed with Moyes and I know Palace were considering bringing him in to replace Hodgson. I am absolutely certain he would not be the Burnley manager now had other jobs come up during the summer. I was almost scoffed at initially on here when I suggested there was a problem between him and the chairman but everyone knows about that now and it is a problem that is as bad as it can get and it is irreparable now. One of them has to go because the club is in absolute turmoil.

Alex Neil - interesting one that, someone at the club suggested him to me as a potential replacement for Dyche and that was probably very early this year.

And I'd agree with that too

[Marney&Mee]

He’s been there about 2 years or so (maybe longer). Bought the house Colin hendry used to live in before he sold it to one of the Warburtons. Knocked on the door and offered them too much to refuse.

[Marney&Mee]

I really rate Alex Neil. Commands absolute respect.

I remember him being at a couple of Burnley games a few years ago which brought a lot of speculation but he was just Barry Kilby's guest. I was told they were neighbours in Ribchester.

I haven't got a clue where he lives, but early in the original lockdown there was an article on the TV news about him helping out the community where he lived, and it was between Preston and Southport

True that Grumps, he indeed did help the local community delivering fruit and veg, from our local greengrocers
( Strongs) in Lytham.

I was thinking just the same

[Targetman]

We were flying to France to watch England in the Euros just over 4 years ago. David Moyes was sat alongside us for the 1 hour flight.

He was very friendly and when he realised we were Burnley fans he talked to us about our club for quite some time and was very complimentary. He had lots of good things to say about Burnley.

He wasn't managing a club at that time and told us he had been employed by UEFA for a few months to oversee various projects for Euro 2016.

Came across as a very genuine bloke.

[Marney&Mee]

I was thinking just the same

You’ve got me bang to rights guys. I completely made that bit up to see if anyone spotted it

[MACCA]

I like David Moyes, a nice guy.
I wish him well, other than when his sides face Burnley.

[ashtonlongsider]

Seen him regularly walking his small dog around Lytham. He’s very friendly and approachable.

Yes strange that....another person discusses his thoughts with another person.

[IanMcL]

Ribchester sounds like a team Roy of the Rovers might have played against!

[IanMcL]

Isn't that a crying shame!

A relationship built on mutual respect, finally smashed to pieces.

Both have played their part in our club's sustainability and growth.

A club, in turmoil behind the scenes, is usually propping up the league.

Fingers crossed for positive outcomes all round.

[Swizzlestick]

Alex Neil would be the perfect replacement when SD does eventually leave.

[MACCA]

Wow how many posters on this board live in Lytham?

That's about half a dozen, you lot should for a Lytham clarets and/or meet up to watch the games

[Silkyskills1]

I recall Moyes enjoyed the odd night out in Clitheroe.

[MrTopTier]

There are a few, I know about a dozen, plenty used to go in the County Hotel to watch away games.

On what basis? Hopefully not prestons home form, Preston have decent away form if they sorted there home form out they’d be in a higher position, Preston blow hot & cold & are no great shakes despite beating reading 3-nil away they are more than capable of losing 3-nil at deepdale against a lower side.

Wowzers, that's quite a decent little corner for clarets then.
Theres far nearer places with less

[jrgbfc]

I'd be very surprised if they weren't still interested in Tarky. If they were willing to pay 30-35 million last summer surely they'd be interested if they could get him for half of that? Unless they think it's a done deal he's going to Leicester.

[Jakubclaret]

Not going off that article

You do know he got relegated with Norwich don’t you ?

[Elizabeth]

Claret Tony, what I find unsettling is when you say you were discussing alternative managers to Dyche when he goes with ‘ someone at the club’
I know you have access to information others don’t and you describe the club as in turmoil ,but are you prepared to say who this ‘ someone at the club’ is. It all seems a little strange

I think my exact words to him were ‘I know he took Norwich down but had they stuck with him like we did with Dyche, they’d have come straight back up’

[snapcrackleandpop]

Joey Barton anybody?

[AlargeClaret]

David just arrived for Sunday Dinner .I’ll ask him for confirmation of transfer dealings ,targets etc over the roast beef . He mentioned a “ semi literate meths drinking tramp “ shouting and screaming on the front at Lytham so he’s relieved to here in one piece

[Steve1956]

Lytham to London thats some commute....Moyes to Burnley..you heard it first here

I resent that ALC. I’ve not touched meths since I sampled the delights of turps...

You don’t think getting a squad like Preston’s competing for playoff places is pretty impressive? Especially considering they’ve spent nothing (that will stand him in good stead if Garlick sticks around).

He’s not a bad manager he’s bang average, in the event of SD leaving we could do far better I think, you probably think we could do a lot worse & I agree he’s not a bad manager.

Who would be your preferred choice to replace SD?

[joey13]

No didn’t know that thanks for the info

[Jakubclaret]

Not him the best available out there is EH I can’t think of many others available right now tempered with a sense of realism also so not suggesting poch he’s waiting for Solskjaer to trip up.

[joey13]

Would they , they were 8th when he was sacked and 9 pts off the play offs and had won 7 out of their last 24 games , so I very much doubt it

All about opinions Joey.

Next manager wise, what do we think of Steven gerrard. Step up from rangers and great for top notch loan players

I would prefer him to Alex Neil

[Marney&Mee]

Despite my turps adled state, Moyes was pretty categoric in his assertion that ‘Dychey’ would leave..if not during this season, at the end of it. We both agreed that would be catastrophic for the club. We all know the reasons why...

I'm another, and David Moyes came to speak with me whilst I was Marshalling at Royal Lytham, he's a genuine fella, and I wish him well whichever team he is managing, when SD leaves, he'd be my first choice to step in.

[Marney&Mee]

Why did he get to yours so early for Sunday dinner? Do you live in Brisbane?

[bfcjg]

I have a time share in Lytham and David "nice guy " Moyes has just finished painting the lounge because he is bored rigid with no football this weekend.
Very complimentary about Burnley and told me Dyche is also very good at scrabble and turned down the USA job as he refuses to say soccer unless it is in the context of soccer am. Said Nigel Clough lined up to replace Dyche and a reformed Afghanistan warlord will be buying the club with the proceeds of heroin dealing and kidnapping ransom money, could be worse joked Moysey it might have been the Venkys.

[Top Claret]

Ribchester sounds like a team Roy of the Rovers might have played against!

Ribchester is a town of barstewards and nobbers
