Moyes established a great rapport with the fans at Goodison Park, referring to Everton as "The Peoples Club" soon after arriving. He gave 16-year-old Wayne Rooney his first Premiership appearance. However, Rooney left Everton for Manchester United after a disappointing season in 2003–04, leading many pundits and experts to tip them as a favourite for relegation. Due in no small part to Moyes, Everton confounded virtually all of the experts in 2004–05 by staying near the top of the table for most of the season. They eventually finished fourth, assuring them entry into the UEFA Champions League competition (although ultimately they did not reach the group phase after controversially losing to Spanish La Liga side Villarreal C.F. in the third qualifying round when Duncan Ferguson had a goal disallowed in the 89th minute of the second leg.

The 2005–06 season saw the Blues exit from European competition at the first hurdle and, for several months, languish in the league table. However, the season improved steadily and Moyes was named the Premiership Manager of the Month for January 2006 with the club eventually finished in eleventh place. The 2006–07 season saw him celebrate his fifth anniversary at the club – making him Everton's third longest serving manager in the modern era, behind only the club's two most successful managers Howard Kendall and Harry Catterick – and qualify for the UEFA Cup after another hugely promising campaign.
