2022/23 Sean Dyche
We all hope it works out, of course we do, and I hope Dyche is the guy to do it as he'll clearly be in charge for the near future. All I'm saying is that he is, as near as damn it, a one point a match (1.3 but this is skewed by a couple of high scoring Championship seasons, in the PL he's a 1.1...- windymiller

2022/23 Sean Dyche
It's this lowering of expectations that distances many from the club. Make no mistake, we're not picking up many new fans these days and Evertonians like myself who have had to leave the area for work will struggle to keep our kids invested in the club (do we even want our kids enduring this...- windymiller

2022/23 Sean Dyche
This is the sad reality of our existence. I'm an old fart, I've seen us win things, but I've got two kids, neither of whom are all that arsed about Everton (which is probably for the best), and I suspect they will never see us win a thing. We are so far behind the top teams that we don't even...- windymiller

2022/23 Sean Dyche
That wouldn't surprise me either but, equally, I wouldn't be surprised if that approach didn't quite cut it and we end up back here in the mid to high 30s in terms of points and that puts us right back in the will they/won't they situation regarding relegation again. There's fine margins between...- windymiller

2022/23 Sean Dyche
The first problem is that I could tell you coaches I prefer but you could find fault in all of them, there isn't a perfect coach in world football, and we'd go around the houses and solve absolutely nothing. The second problem is that I have no idea what the goal is for this club in terms of...- windymiller

2022/23 Sean Dyche
No one does, but I think we all accept that that is probably our best case scenario in the short term. My point was that, despite seemingly popular opinion, Mr Dyche is not a guarantee that we will finish that high up the table. I agree about the DoF, btw, but without board room changes that is...- windymiller

2022/23 Alex Iwobi
The close season is one of only two times we can actually do something about it, we won't, but we could.- windymiller

2022/23 Sean Dyche
Let's see where we are at the end of the transfer window. We're down to brass tacks in terms of finances and my bet is that Dyche sticks to type and we sign a succession of low cost Burnley 2020-style players. I predict a second season with less than 40 goals.- windymiller

Pace, power, energy. It's not exactly creativity, precision, guile is it? Plus, look at Dyche's prior signings.- windymiller

2022/23 Sean Dyche
He may well be able to, I'm not saying he can't, but this very forum was full of posts like this 12 months ago about a certain Frank Lampard. All I'm saying is that we should be circumspect and leave yesterday's events at the door when considering our prospects for the coming year. Dyche did...- windymiller

Summer transfer window 2023
You have watched us play, right? We've been circling the drain for two years. In that time Alex Iwobi has been a nearly constant presence. As a creative force and a game changing presence he has been a complete non-entity. Yes, he runs around a lot, yes, he works hard, however his positive...- windymiller
