I'll second what @Swartzy said above. I dislike politics in sport. It just increases division. For 90minutes, we should be able to have some entertainment and not be lectured on the latest fru fru nonsense. For the same reason I also dislike companies or corporates making political statments...

Everton stadium move: Fans face longer wait for £500m new home Everton could stay at Goodison Park for another two seasons under revised timetable for move to new home Everton may stay at Goodison Park for a further two seasons after confirming their new dockside arena will not be ready for the...

Bit of an enigma is Gray. I don't think he's suited to the single striker role at all. He should have a future because he clearly has ability, but for a reasonable offer I would also consider selling. At 26, I think he is - should be his prime years. If he isn't getting games then it's time to...

I think it is doable, but you have to stick to the plan and manage expectations. Unfortunately we have had to tear the plan up every couple of years and sometimes bi-annually with some of the management choices, their player choices and the crazy wages we have paid out for contracts. Even some...

I'm going to defend Iwobi. He was, allbeit a low bar, among our best players last season. I'm not justifying the fee we paid for him that was insane. He is though reliable, plays regularly, works hard and sets a good example to the rest of the team.

That surprises me. I had assumed Leicester were doing well financially selling players for huge fees over the last few years like Fofana for £70M and those below. They must really have messed up with paying enormous wages to bad players in order to absorb all that. It's incredible.

I asked chat gpt to design a jersey. It said: As an AI language model, I cannot show images. However, here is a description of a design for a football jersey based on the Everton lock-up tower: The base color of the jersey is blue, inspired by the official color of Everton Football Club. The...

I agree with this, but if I was Moshiri I'd want to keep Kenwright around (knowing that the fans are unhappy with him) to let him take some flak away from me. Whether it is that simple though, I don't know. However, I'm sure that's why the Chelsea owner, for example, kept Lampard around despite...

He was good, but he can be better and while I see good attributes, I personally wouldn't make him captain. I want him to focus on improving. His passing in particular is terrible and yes, that does matter. Might take some flack for this, but I'd make Iwobi captain. He handles pressure better...

Indeed. We aren't exactly swimming in great goalkeepers battling for a place. The cautionary tale is that Leicester sold Schmeichel and their defense went off a cliff. When you consider the calibre of some of their attacking players, it was the defense that sent them down and the understudy GK...

I don't really see where Gray fits in anymore. I used to think he was a good option playing behind a striker, but he doesn't influence the game enough and I definitely don't like him leading the line as a striker. So where does he play now? I don't see him starting games while we have Iwobi...

I would have signed him and I am surprised we haven't. Coady has limitations, but for such a small fee I do think he would still probably start most games for us or provide reliable cover if he didn't. What do we do for example if Tarkowski gets a serious injury? Can we really get by? For an...

Please tell me he's being released. He's just a brainless footballer that takes silly risks when circumstances don't require it. I'll never forget the time we were winning at Leicester with 5 minutes to go two seasons ago and he conspired to screw it up. It's a mentality problem. He's just so...

He's got a decent all round game and is really versatile. If he continues adding goals he becomes first name on the team sheet regardless of whoever comes in.

It is, but I actually think 15th would be an achievement with the financial and other concerns which are surrounding the club. There's so much to sort out. That's not to say it can't be done faster with everyone pulling in the right direction, but I don't expect it. Even when the money was...

The ownership situation at the club needs to be a top priority or it's going to seriously affect us this summer until it is either resolved or publicly clarified. The biggest immediate problem is that new owners usually want their own man in charge. Even top managers sometimes don't survive new...

I recall from an away game at Burnley (which embarrassingly ended in defeat for the Super Frankies) there was a boozer close to the ground called the Royal Dyche. I hope we take him to heart because the rebuild at Everton is monumental and he may well get offers from other clubs in the next few...

Definitely. He gives me confidence that he sees the problems and starting to plan for a longer term. His experience was no small part of the reason we survived. I was really worried that the pressure was going to see our players melt yesterday, especially with Leicester winning. That anxiety...

I think we need a bit more than that in order to be well clear. We definitely need not only quality up front, but more depth. I think we should be looking at players at clubs like Brentford. Tough, strong, fast, that work hard and most importantly are fit to play the games. If the blueprint for...

The good news (and it is a massive advantage) is that we don't have to win to stay up. A draw will definitely keep us up provided Leicester don't win and Leeds don't win by 4 goals (so Leeds are gone). The reason it's good news is because I'm worried with the pressure on that our boys could melt...
