"This is just ridiculous": Merson criticizes Everton's decision to bring Moyes back

Nearly 12 years after leaving, David Moyes has returned as Everton's head coach, replacing Sean Dyche. While the move has sentimental value, experts have expressed skepticism about the decision.

Details: Former Arsenal player and current Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson believes the argument that Moyes "knows the club" is outdated, given the significant time that has passed since his first stint.

Quote: "I have mixed feelings about his return. You don’t go back. People say it’s good because he knows the club inside out. He left 11 years ago! This is just ridiculous. They [Moyes and Dyche] are similar managers, wanting to control everything and work with what they have.

Sometimes managers come in, and players leave because of conflicts with the previous coach. That wasn’t the case with Moyes at Everton. This is the same team, so I don’t get it. I like Moyes, but let’s not forget—it was 11 years ago," Merson said on Sky Sports.
