A bit ambivalent - up until he started blabbing on about the fans needed to get behind the team, as if it was their fault we were struggling. Then he capped it all off by saying it was virtually also the fans fault that we had to sign Hugill and Evra.

A bloody great big no from me.

Although what alternatives are around, and more importantly who Statler and Waldorf will recruit I honestly have no clue. Reckon they’ll give him a 3 year deal.

Go, purely for his brand of football, I just want to see us play attacking football from the off with more than just Arnie in the oppositions half. I think he has done an Ok job but I want a more expansive game plan and I don't think he is the man to provide it.

"Yes" for me. Give him another year, but a three year contract. He will keep us up in 2018/19. If he does that by serving up Allardyce type ****, then he can f*** off. If he gets a decent transfer window (or two) and builds a proper squad, playing proper football, comfortable top-half football, the "Everton Moyes", I'll be happy.

For the latter to happen, GSB need to change their MO and open the purse strings..... I knew there was a flaw.

I was expecting this poll but not until league matters were resolved. Still, here it is so, I voted stay. The club needs stability, a chance for a manager to build and develop. If Sully shifts Moyes one has to assume he'll muck about getting nothing sorted until he's desperate, so unless he's got £100m+ burning a hole in his pocket and a deal in place for a successful and experienced replacement Moyes is probably as good as anyone.

Not the greatest recommendation I know, but, we are where we are as they say.

I am amazed how many want him to stay. Especially after the other night :?
No from me.
Been dignified and working under difficult circumstances but another year or two under him is another year or two that we aren't progrssing imo

Grudgingly, yes. Because the state of the club and squad currently means we probably need a stable and known (if not exciting) quantity. But I think it's just as important to keep the current backroom staff. We're basically a club built on sand.

Voted unsure as I don't trust the Daves to bring in the right man if they don't retain Moyes.

I voted 'stay' mainly for that very reason

Just one which was a long time ago. Don't make out like he has a string of successes because the opposite is true since he left them.

A resounding no.

Stay. I'd much rather give him a long term deal - and see where he can take us.

One thing his Everton side were not, is crap and dull.

Let him have two full windows and a couple of years and see how he gets on.

Getting any manager better than Moyes to manage us is pure fantasy. Nobody worth their salts will come here now - not with GSB.

If anyone can get us to become an attractive stable proposition, it's Moyes.

Unfortunately, this is what WHUFC has turned in to.

I didn't want him here, but I got my wish for Bilic to be got rid of - so wasn't going to be a hypocrite and moan about the replacement.

I still don't really want him here - but I believe he deserves a chance long term.

The football at Stratford was far worse last season; I don't understand why it's 'boring' now when it was atrocious most of last year.

I would have been yes and wouldn't be totally against him staying, but picking Hart has changed my mind on him, no one can be that stupid to pick him over Adrian, especially after seeing him first hand.

It's a yes from me. I think *IF* he's given the funds, we'll start to see a far more balanced side than under recent managers. He's worked wonders with Arnie, turned Cresswell into a serviceable defender in a back 3. and trusted Declan who has responded magnificently. I also like that he's willing to give youth a go. Give him a couple of years and let's see what he can do.

Yes from me.

Under this board we are playing for survival every year on the minimum amount of investment possible. We can moan about this state of affairs all we like and dream of ambition and cup runs and attacking intent but it’s reality. Keep buying your season tickets and your replica shirts but this is all you’re gonna get in return.

We need a boring, pragmatic, keep us up on a shoestring manager because we’re a keep us up on a shoestring club. We have the best man for the job. We have to keep him here.

I am absolutely gobsmacked that yes is in the lead.

Unless Moyes himself is secretly logging in and voting on different accounts?
