ECHO Everton reporter Chris Beesley looks at how David Moyes can look to utilise the power of Goodison Park in her final season now he has returned as Blues boss
Before the second coming of the ‘Moyesiah’ this week, Howard Kendall was the only other Everton manager to return, and he compared his relationship to that of a man and wife – now the Scot is tasked with bringing back the spark before it’s too late.
“There was a cloak of secrecy to the moves to rehire me that seem completely unconceivable in today’s world of rolling news, social media and internet. When I stepped from behind a screen in one of Goodison Park’s lounges on 6 November 1990, there was a touch of theatre to proceedings, almost like a new Pontiff being unveiled before St Peter’s Square.
With Farhad Moshiri having churned his way through eight managers in as many years at Everton and the way they finished 2024 with four head coaches at Roma in the calendar year, new owners The Friedkin Group were understandably reticent to swap partners midway through ‘The Last Dance’ with the Grand Old Lady as Goodison Park plays host to her final season.
A big part of that of course has been the style of football that Everton have played. Now though, with Moyes back at the helm, it is time for that to change.
