‘I Deserved Another Go’ Former Everton Manager Hits Out at Board as Moyes Shines

Manager Says He Found It “So Unfair” When He Was Sacked by Everton – David Moyes Steps in With Fresh Ambition

The managerial hot seat at Everton has always been one of the most scrutinized in English football, and the latest change has once again stirred debate among fans and pundits. The club’s former manager, who was dismissed earlier this year, admitted in a recent interview that he felt “so unfairly treated” by the board and insisted he “deserved another go” after guiding the team through turbulent circumstances.

The ex-boss argued that his dismissal did not reflect the challenges he faced during his time at Goodison Park. Everton endured a series of setbacks last season, ranging from injury problems to off-field financial constraints, yet he believes progress was being made. “I felt we were turning the corner,” he said, expressing frustration that he was not given the patience or time to see his project through. His remarks highlight a recurring theme at Everton: managerial turnover being used as a quick solution, rather than long-term stability.

In the wake of his departure, Everton turned to a familiar face—David Moyes, the Scotsman who previously spent 11 years at the club before leaving in 2013 for Manchester United. Moyes, who has since rebuilt his reputation with solid spells at West Ham and in Europe, described his return to Everton as both emotional and purposeful. “Everton is family to me,” Moyes said. “When the chance came, I couldn’t turn it down. I want to show I can go again.”

Since taking charge, Moyes has brought renewed optimism to Goodison Park. He has immediately tightened the defence, instilled discipline in the midfield, and reintroduced the fighting spirit Evertonians demand. Under his guidance, Everton have already picked up crucial points against top-half Premier League opponents, while also advancing further in domestic cup competition than in recent years. His achievements have not gone unnoticed—Moyes has managed to steady a side that looked destined for another relegation battle, and fans are beginning to dream again of a return to mid-table stability, or even a push for Europe.

For many, Moyes’ second coming feels like redemption—not only for the manager himself, who left unfinished business at the club, but also for Everton, which desperately needs a leader capable of navigating difficult waters. The contrast between a former boss who laments not getting enough time and Moyes, who thrives on second chances, could define the club’s immediate future.
