    David Moyes or Roberto Mancini

    I think we missed the boat with Thomas Frank. His Brentford team scored more goals than we've ever managed since the Prem began - all the signs were there to see if he could do it at a bigger club. I think TFG bottled it. My opinion on 20+ years of the fella dictated that I didn't want Moyes to...

    The greatest crime of all

    Not so much IMO. I mean, if we want to talk replacements... how about; Grealish replaced Maupay. Dibling replaced Harrison. Dewsbury-Hall replaced Doucoure. etc - we didn't lose any big players. Not like when we were losing Richarlison, Iwobi and Gordon to keep the lights on. The main...

    The greatest crime of all

    That's a few bob we've spent - deemed not yet good enough to get into what is/was a pretty poor side. Barry, Dibling, Alcaraz, Rohl and Aznou were all sanctioned this summer - not to mention the Coleman renewal. Considering we earned the points to finish 12th in Dyches first/only full season...

    I was checking for glitches. I was convinced he was changing the timestamp of something.

    2025/26 Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

    I like him. He comfortably starts for us. But he's never scored more than 2 Premier League goals in a season. He's never a number 10.

    2025/26 David Moyes

    Stop being so fickle and back the man 95%+ of you felt deserved this season.

    The European Dividend

    All that said, consider in Dyches full season we earned enough points with a much worse side and chaos off the pitch to finish 12th. After a woeful start to last season, which Moyes recovered really well - we still finished 13th. So to me - considering the money we've spent and the squad we...

    The European Dividend

    12th, level on points with 11th in terms of points won though. We've got to be aiming for higher than that - even Moyes was talking Europe.

    The European Dividend

    It's definitely an opportunity, it's part of the reason I was so disappointed to exit the league cup so meekly. We fell off a cliff when we qualified for Europe under Koeman - much like Nottingham Forest. Injury crisis? We've been fortunate. Even now, in the league, only Man Utd have less...

    Remembering Bill Kenwright

    It'll be a shame if I have to lock/remove this thread - we're better than that as a community.

    We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

    See what you mean, but my point was not fussed on their personal Vs, only their impact at Everton. So couldn't care less about Dyches record at Forest this season.

    We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

    Not fussed on Moyes vs Dyche personally. I just hope Moyes can improve for Everton on what Dyche delivered in his first full season by way of points earned, in Moyes first full season this time around. I'm optimistic given record summer spend, us having a much better team and there being no...

    Oddities, assortments, Post up anything that doesn't quite fit on other threads

    I've no idea. I can't use the Ignore feature so never been 100% on how it works. I figure it's because people can opt to still see messages from someone they have on ignore, in an ad hoc capacity.
