He'd be good for us.....very good

[Rambling Syd version 2]

Take him in a heartbeat

[rusty shackleford]

I very much doubt he would want to come here, or that we will pay him whatever he is asking. Would love him though, obvs

[NogoodBoyo]

Nobody would have predicted we could get Keegan in 1997.  Imagine how much he must have cost.  And we were in Div 2 when he came on board?    He was the engine that gave us the momentum to climb upwards.  Chairman Mo know a thing or two about managing a football club, even though he had never managed a football club.

David Moyes: Real Sociedad sack former Man Utd manager
David Moyes has been sacked as manager of La Liga strugglers Real Sociedad a day short of his one-year anniversary at the Spanish club.

The 52-year-old steered the Basque team to 12th spot last season after taking charge on 10 November 2014.

But La Real are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference and Friday's 2-0 defeat at Las Palmas was their fourth in five league games.

A Sociedad statement  said they had decided to terminate Moyes's contract.

Assistant boss Billy McKinlay has also been sacked.

The club are 16th and face Europa League winners Sevilla and European champions Barcelona in their next two La Liga games after the international break.

The move to Sociedad was the Scot's first job after he was sacked as Manchester United manager in April 2014 following a 10-month spell in charge.

Moyes, who spent 11 years at Everton before succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, signed a contract to June 2016 and became Sociedad's fourth British manager

Harry Lowe was in charge for five years from 1930, while John Toshack had three spells in charge, with the last coming to an end in 2002.

Toshack's fellow Welshman Chris Coleman lasted less than seven months following his appointment in July 2007.

come on fulham get him!
he would suit the squad perfectly! in his everton days he always had this perfect mix of young homegrown players and some "stars".
if khan wants to invest, it's time to NOW!


maybe just dreaming...

[rusty shackleford]

I suppose if Moyes wants a return to England theres not many appealing options right now, especially in the Prem. Unless Swansea sack Monk after hearing Moyes was available

Yes please. If we get him it will certainly show the Chairman's intent.

[MikeW]

I'd be in like a shot - and bring McKinley with him.

My lad - an Everton supporter - said the one thing he could do was organise defences with seemingly meagre offerings.  I don't think we have meagre offerings.

He's also got the profile the Chairman desires to move forward AND can attract players.  No brainer for me.

[jarv]

As said, he probably will be looking for something bigger.....competition could come from Newcastle, Swansea and the club he played for...Celtic (which I think is a step down from Fulham)...I am a Scot too so it hurts to say that.

[alexbishop]

is Moyes a manager or a coach? Because my understanding is we are looking for a head coach to fit into the existing set up

Things have changed considerably since the Keegan days, we're not the richest Club in the whole of the football league any more, so it'll be more difficult to attract people. Also, I was corrected yesterday, that manager wages do go towards the FFP, so we can't just throw money at it.

No one has mentioned Ted Lasso?

FULHAM MANAGERIAL LATEST

Sky Sports understands that Fulham are not interested in employing either Steve Bruce or Harry Redknapp to replace Kit Symons who was sacked yesterday. The pair were the bookmakers favourites this morning.

Uwe Rosler is being considered though and Fulham want a head coach - not a manager. The German was sacked by Leeds last month.

Fulham may also want to speak to Nigel Pearson and Paul Lambert, with their next Championship game away at MK Dons a week on Saturday.

[Lighthouse]

Sources close to the club are saying
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are what the new one must bring

SKY SOURCES UNDERSTANDS

Listen, if we get him then great, but please can everyone thinking we should go get Moyes reign it in a bit? It is extremely extremely unlikely he will come to us as he will be able to get a job straight into a Prem team as soon as there's a vacancy (Swansea maybe?).
If everyone starts putting us getting Moyes as a marker or a statement of intent or whatever,  chances are you'll just be disappointed with whoever we appoint - which doesn't exactly do the new guy any favours, as well as thinking Khan isn't trying or whatever.
So unless there's some genuine indicators from the club or the press that we are in discussions everyone needs to accept that it's unrealistic.

is this a Moyes out thread

[Blanco]

Not even worth talking about. My guess is he'll want to take a break from coaching. At least till next season. That said, he didn't take much of a break after United... Even so, he won't come to fulham.
