“Unbelievable! McKenna’s Odd Comment About Moyes Before Everton Clash Raises Eyebrows
Kieran McKenna Makes Surprising Comment About David Moyes Ahead of Everton Clash
As Everton prepare for their second-to-last match at Goodison Park, Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has made an unexpected remark about Toffees boss David Moyes.
With Ipswich already confirmed for relegation, Everton have a strong opportunity to close out their final two home fixtures with wins—potentially a fitting farewell to their historic ground, affectionately known as The Grand Old Lady.
However, the lead-up to the game has already stirred some controversy, as Paul Tierney has been appointed to oversee VAR duties. Tierney is the same official who failed to award Luis Diaz’s contentious goal against Everton earlier in the season.
Still, Moyes is unlikely to let officiating drama overshadow what could be an emotional goodbye to Goodison Park. But Ipswich’s McKenna added an unusual twist in the buildup to the game with a statement that caught attention.
McKenna Praises Moyes’ Enduring Career
In their previous encounter, goals from Illiman Ndiaye and Michael Keane secured a win for Sean Dyche over Moyes’ predecessor. Now, with Ipswich already doomed to the drop, they’ll be looking to savor their remaining Premier League moments, meaning Everton won’t expect an easy ride.
While pundit Chris Sutton is backing Everton for a home victory, McKenna shifted focus to David Moyes’ legacy during his Thursday press conference.
“It’s hard not to admire his career,” McKenna said. “It’s increasingly rare to see someone last as long as he has at the highest levels, and he’s doing a good job at Everton.”
Moyes’ Return Comes at the Right Time
Moyes has had a storied managerial journey. Though his time at Manchester United was brief and turbulent, he has found his footing again with Everton—just in time to guide them through their final season at Goodison.
There’s a sense that no one else could have been more fitting to close this chapter. Moyes’ connection with the club could make the goodbye even more poignant.
Despite the emotional significance of these final fixtures, some fans have voiced frustration over the pricing of seats, eager to be part of the stadium’s historic farewell.
After a tense period under Dyche, which threatened to sour the farewell season, Moyes’ return has brought renewed optimism—but the end is undeniably near for Goodison Park.
