David Moyes has come out to clear the air on transfer rumors surrounding his potential return to Everton, while also soliciting for more time to restore the club to its former glory.
Moyes, who previously managed the Toffees from 2002 to 2013, has been linked with a sensational return to Goodison Park, especially with the club’s new owners, the Friedkin Group, set to take over ¹. However, Moyes has moved to quash speculation, stating that he’s focused on the task at hand and not distracted by rumors.
The Scottish tactician has also appealed for patience and more time to implement his plans, should he return to the club. Moyes pointed to his previous success at Everton, where he led the team to four top-six finishes in the Premier League, as evidence of his ability to deliver results ².
“I look back on my time at Everton with great fondness,” Moyes said. “We made great progress, and I believe I can do it again. But it takes time, patience, and support from the fans and the board” ².
Moyes’ comments come as Everton continues to struggle in the Premier League, with the team currently languishing in the relegation zone. However, with the Friedkin Group’s takeover imminent, there’s a sense of optimism around the club, and Moyes’ potential return could be the catalyst for a turnaround in fortunes.
