Can't disagree in some ways mate, he's clearly got lots of good attributes, although it boils down to what success looks like, and what we think Everton are capable of achieving? Everton were 4th in terms of league titles when he joined, and had fairly recently won the FA Cup, personally I'd...

He has done really well this last year. However as has been pointed out elsewhere, he has been at Everton for well over a decade, without actually winning anything. The naysayers have doubts as to whether he can win a cup at Everton, based on that previous decade. He needs to win something...

If a top manager was at Everton, for over a decade, I reckon they would win something. Moyes hasn't, thus far. He's probably best of the rest (managers), much like we were, as a team, for some of his first tenure.

Good performance from Breck, 4-1 win away from home at Nantwich, ref helped them a touch, but definitely the best team. However, they do have a massive whiff of kopite.

Just wondering if people are aware that there is an actual genocide ongoing? People are being deliberately bombed, starved, denied medicine and water. A place where nearly 50% of the residents are children, getting killed in their hundreds of thousands. You have the elements of the Israeli media...

We have wasted money. Lots and lots of money. We've also been punished for our spending. The other clubs you mention have thrown far more money around, and for much longer, and, as yet, have not been punished. You really aren't comparing like with like.

If there are any even close to being good enough, they will be on the fringes of the squad next season, or on loan, actually playing somewhere. Heck, someone might even step up to 4th place cb and push Kegger down the pecking order to 5th. LstoryS, in the grand scheme of current Everton things...

I don't think he's that good mate, but I think we need to be pragmatic. The manager and recruitment team have gaps to fill, and a finite amount of money with which to do it. He did ok at the back end, and did well under CA, outside from that, we've been crap as a team. He's 4th choice, that's...

I think it may be down to finances mate. He hasn't been very good at all for a long time. That said we have not been good as a team, so one could argue under Ancelotti (for example) he was a much better player. Long story short he'll be 4th choice.

Unfortunately this is still probably true, as it is for the everyone bar the SKY 4. You could have linked it properly so people could see the whole context like, but whatever, top level spread sheeting there, and not a little disingenuous from your position like. You could have referred to the...

I agree. But as we don't know who has offered what, if at all, it's a bit early to be questioning his ambition. It could also be argued he should be trying to play at the highest level possible, and fighting for a place? Dropping down a league could also be seen as a lack of ambition. Just...

As you have previously admitted, recruitment is not your job and you don't know what other options are available. The people in recruitment I assume do know, and they possibly believe that he is our best option as 4th choice centre back. It's a meh from me personally like.

Then maybe they merely think that Keane is a decent shout as 4th place cb, given the current options available. Why would we want good young players sitting on the bench? They're better off elsewhere getting experience ready to fill the gap when Tarky is finished or Branthwaite gets off.

Has he actually been offered a deal at a lower league team? Has anyone showed a firm interest, publicly?
