    David Moyes

    Genuinely no clue why anyone would think this. Moyes has never negotiated transfers, that's always been left to the owners/DOFs/chairmen wherever he's worked Naming no names, but the youth coaches at Everton did not have time for Moyes when he was here and felt that he wasn't interested in it...

    2023/24 Kevin Thelwell

    The Thelwell criticism I find slightly odd tbh. It's well-documented that Thelwell has been working within some severe financial constraints since he arrived here and, frankly, absolute chaos behind the scenes. There was a Thelwell thread last season and it was utterly lacking in any context...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    We will sell players. Other players will come in, for probably far less money than we receive. Unless something fundamentally changes though, your mate Dyche will be here next season because even if debts are restructured, we wouldn't risk the cost of sacking the manager given the fact this...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you think anything else mate The only transfers we could do last summer were ones which involved zero paid up front. We've got accounts released which say in black and white that there is a doubt as to our viability as a going concern. We are haemorrhaging...

    2023/24 Sean Dyche

    If he keeps us up (which currently looks likely), he will be going nowhere regardless of what anyone thinks of him. The financial reality of our situation means that if we have someone in charge who is likely to keep us in the division, we won't be sacking that manager because it's an expense...

    2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

    Branthwaite is defensively much better than Stones was and better in the air. He doesn't have the absolute class on the ball that Stones had which is why Pep wanted him, but he has other strengths and isn't bad at all on the ball either. Stones was made for a Pep-type system. Branthwaite is...

    Match Thread Everton vs Liverpool Wednesday 24th April

    Free hit The following three fixtures are all more winnable As long as we avoid a hiding on Wednesday, I'll forgive whatever approach Dyche takes Yesterday's win has relieved the pressure a lot. We now just need to get over the line and we have a few fixtures we can target for that -...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Never going to happen. Swap deals are rare and complex and in this scenario where we need to realise actual cash, even less likely. Plus you also have the problem of us needing to cut costs and Barcelona's playing staff are largely all on very good contracts. The article references Chelsea and...

    Farhad Moshiri

    His commitment, until the war in Ukraine, can't be faulted. Almost literally every single decision he has made has been appalling, however. We are where we are because he's made some of the worst decisions in the history of football

    Match Thread Chelsea v Everton - Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

    We've been awful. Chelsea have been very good. Not seen us battered like this since the 0-5 against Spurs under Lampard. Nice of the lads to do it on Monday Night Football so the whole nation get to see it.

    Predict Our Run In

    Chelsea (A) 0 Forest (H) 1 (and some proper flapping on here) Liverpool (H) 0 Brentford (H) 3 Luton (A) 1 Sheff Utd (H) 3 Arsenal (A) 0 35 points, which should be enough to keep us up

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    It would be a loan I would guess - he's been on loan at Napoli this season and barely played

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Turned 29 today actually I would suggest people temper their expectation levels about summer signings - we'll be selling anyone we can to keep the lights on unless there's a fundamental change in our situation in the next 3 months. That means Branthwaite, Onana and maybe even the likes of DCL...

    Would it get worse without Dyche?

    On the points per game this season, Dyche's return would be about 43 points over the full season - it's just about acceptable in the context of all the problems we have He can't be blamed for points deductions, but that run of form from December to now has been abysmal and the promising...
