Instead of spending the summer working on how to improve his Everton side that is set to finish the season without a win in the entirety of April and May, David Moyes will be supplementing his generous Everton pay packet by doing World Cup punditry for TalkSport.
The Everton manager is joining a squad that includes Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, former England international Kyle Walker, Emmanuel Petit who was a World Cup winner in 1998, former Netherlands and Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and British rapper and Tottenham fan AJ Tracey.
The action begins in North America on 11 June when Mexico take on South Africa and ends in New York for the final on 19 July.
Scotland begin their campaign against Haiti on 14 June, then play Morocco on 19 June — both in Boston — and Brazil in Miami on 24 June.
England, meanwhile, start on 17 June against Croatia in Dallas, then face Ghana in Boston on 23 June and go to New York to play Panama on 27 June.

I’ve just read this story that Moyes will be a pundit for TalkSport for the World Cup, following in the footsteps of Roberto all those years ago when things first began to go tits up.
Not only that, but TalkSport are flying their pundits over to America, so if he stays out there the whole time, or even 3-4 weeks, that is a direct impact on our pre-season. A really bad one.

Moyseys future is in punditry.
Hopefully starting at the end of the season.

Could that be the most pointlessly obscure and contradictory headline of the week?
It’s certainly up there.

He’ll hate watching Brazil.

Ha ha, you could not make this up… “Let me tell you where Harry Kane is going wrong… he’s scoring too many goals and not tracking back enough.”

Premier League Manager Watches World Cup, is a better headline…
Honestly, get a grip with this utter nonsense. Or is this now the Daily Moan?

Restrict him to commenting on games involving attacking teams only.
He may be able to learn how to do that!

Actually, I was worried I’d have to watch him bumble on endlessly but thankfully he’s not on telly.
And I never ever listen to TalkShite… so Double Winny!

In a shocking development, Ian Bennett leaps in with a trigger-finger defence of David Moyes.
Keep going, Ian, he might leave you a tenner in his will.

Maybe he knows he’s getting moved on and isn’t arsed about being over there.

Delighted he’ll have a job on TalkSport for the World Cup, and hopefully his contract at Everton will be terminated by then.

Does he not have work to do at home? I now agree with those who wish he does not come back.
He will never lead us anywhere except for a mediocre path. Good enough to keep us up, but nothing more.

Let’s not be critical of this…
At least he will be watching teams playing football and he may — even with his vast experience — learn something!

There’s the headline – Davey Viagra Moyes – he can keep you up but you’re on your own, when it comes to scoring.

Didn’t mention his name once, Steve. But I am not surprised it upsets you.
My expectation is that every major league manager will be going to the biggest trade fair in football.
And if I had the money and time, I couldn’t think of anything better.

What’s the problem? Managers don’t buy the players anymore, that’s dealt with by other people at the club isn’t it?
It’s not the 1970’s when Brian Clough would show up at your house with £500 and a Ford Cortina as a sweetener.
I’m not defending Moyes here, but the world and the game has moved on, surely?

Christy, love it, I nearly spat my drink out.
We really have all seen and had enough of Moyes!

Sure Ian, your usual post defending David Moyes on a thread discussing David Moyes didnt actually have anything to do with David Moyes.
And we all just rowed up the River Mersey on a bubble.

True James #17,
Moyes will just tell our ace recruitment team to sign up, Soucek, Stones and Grealish and renew Mykolenko and then he can go on his jolly and leave them to it.

Ian (6), why would that headline be better? It would lack a great deal of precision even if it could pass for accurate.
Mick (3), it was clear and obvious to me.
