After a chaotic day, it was a moment to savor two of Everton’s great players who will become key sounding boards for Moyes, especially in the first few weeks back at Finch Farm.
Moyes will recognize a few faces at the training ground and among the catering staff, but aside from a fervent fan base, there will be little that bears resemblance to the fabric he was etched into more than a decade ago 11 years ago.
From Angry Birds to Bernard. From parting with 8 permanent managers to 777 partners. From Ronald Koeman’s three No. 10s in one summer to Farhad Moshiri’s string of millions wasted since the man who created “The People’s Club” with “The Chosen One” Everton fans have been struggling since he left Manchester United to replace Sir Alex Ferguson.
