Let's say he was sacked after the Liverpool game.

Big Dunc takes over for the Arsenal game and we lose. That's 3 points lost that we actually won.

Lampard takes over, that Chelsea draw becomes a loss.

The same transfer window happens.

Right now we would be sat with 8 points to make up. Looking at Lampards results, I don't see the results going any different.

The Benitez fans would be saying he never had a transfer window and the arguement would be even worse in his favour.

Do you agree that the majority of Everton fans all say Benetiz was and is a total bell end? A smelly fat kopite who had no right to manage our club in the first place?
 
Didn’t like sammy lee sat on our bench as assistant manager, didn’t like Johnson being our chairman owner when he was a redshite, Don’t like our director of football being a kopite! But Benetiz was in a different level. I’m sure we have more horrible kopites in and around our club that we haven’t sniffed out..

Kevin Thelwell springs to mind.

The thing is Lampard was interviewed by Palace, didn't get the job, was interviewed by Watford and the rumour was that he had a terrible interview. Norwich passed on him as they said he wasn't good enough.

With us, I think we took him on because there was no one else

The issue is that we are only interested in looking at managers who have PL experience. Its a limited market and its a very naive and very amateur approach to recruiting a manager rather than actually looking for the best candidate who fits the criteria for the role. There were some reports at the time we had had over 30 applications for the job from managers around the world but the club was only look at the ones who had PL experience. Everything about the way this club is run is amateur compared to our peers.
 
My main reflection is that we might have not performed any better in the league but we are a far better club, fans and team reunited, and the football has been far more exciting and enjoyable.
Not perfect but better
 
Anyone who still doesn't understand just how harmful us employing this moron was is deluded. The fact that our fans and Lampard have somehow turned things around enough to even give us a chance of staying up is nothing short of a miracle. We where dead and buried under TFSW, It was truly one of the darkest days in our clubs history when we employed him and the only good thing to come from it is the bond that this situation seems to created between Lampard and the fans. History will not look kindly on those who blindly backed the pig as he drove the club into the ground and forced out two of the few half-way decent footballers we had on our books all to placate his obscenely inflated ego.

I'll be honest, I didn't want him, but when he got the job I decided to back him as he was the everton manager, same as I did with the previous 5 and I do now with lampard. In hindsight i was wrong to back him at all, he damaged the infrastructure of the club got rid of James and Diane, divided the dressing room and was the polar opposite of lampard before, after and during games.

One thing it has highlighted is just how terrible moshiri is at his job of running the club, he needs to go. Quickly

Exactly my thoughts on FSW. If Mosh goes we need someone reliable with wads of cash though
