Everton manager David Moyes acknowledged supporters' anger over potential Harrison Armstrong sale, stating 'supporters aren't always wrong.' BBC Sport reported Nottingham Forest's £40m bid for the 19-year-old England Under-19 international, who started in Everton's 1-1 draw at Bournemouth. Fans chanted 'a riot' if Armstrong was sold during the match. Moyes emphasized that while supporter opinions must be considered, difficult decisions sometimes need to be made, citing Bryan Gray and Sir Philip Carter as examples.

He noted that club decisions about Armstrong's future rest with The Friedkin Group, not just him. Moyes expressed frustration with Everton's lack of transfer activity, stating he needs reinforcements to replace Seamus Coleman, a position he's pursued for over a year. The transfer window closes Tuesday, 1 September at 23:00 BST.

Moyes also questioned whether the summer window should remain open once the season starts, calling it 'nonsense' that games continue while transfers are still possible.
