Ok, but of those remaining players a sizeable number are players we have actively been trying to get rid off (with little success). We would have a functional squad of about 15 players, three of whom would be goalkeepers, I would call that threadbare, personally.

We will be but with 8 players out of contract in the summer and a threadbare squad we will have to bring in players. No idea how but we'll have to do something.

Yeah, maybe I've got him wrong, we'll find out in the summer, one way or the other.

Benitez was a busted flush when he got here. However, your point about successive managers is fair enough, we really have got to stop appointing very, very poor managers. Ancelotti is the one exception going back a long time.

I don't get the vibe that he'll bad mouth the crowd. The club, maybe, and who could blame him?!

True. I'm just trying to give the crowd reaction some context. Eventually they become so beaten down that there's no fight left.

And a very poor, one dimensional manager. Yes, the squad is poor but someone is managing them. The showings against Burnley and Chelsea (yes, I know we spawned a freak goal victory against 10 man Burnley but we were terrible) clearly demonstrate the limits of this manager as well as the limits...

You can't blame the fans, we keep paying for steak and keep getting served spam. Eventually good will runs out.

The Esk needs to understand that what Goodley is doing is detrimental to Everton Football Club and constantly validating his campaign means that The Esk is also acting against the best interests of the club. I have no doubt that The Esk's bodyguard mod will be along shortly to chastise me but...

Our current form is as bad as it has been under any manager. What happened in the autumn has very little relevance now, other than it has given us a small cushion. Is it too small? I guess we'll find out on Sunday.

All he gets is slack, he's won one game in four months and his job is under no pressure whatsoever whilst taking home £100k a week. I'm not having the "poor Sean" narrative at all, we should all be so lucky.

We need to block out the noise, change the story?

If we somehow stay up this season we'll be relegated next season. We have no leadership off the pitch, no money to improve a poor squad, we have to sell our best players to satisfy an absurd financial regulatory regime, and we are stuck with Sean Dyche as our manager. Is anybody enjoying being...

It's apparently an ongoing clause.

£5m plus a £3m bonus if we don't get relegated apparently.
