Robert Jarvis
Player Valuation: £35m
Of late there have been any number of threads referring to the competence of Moyes and the team. Whilst there is no doubt that the players should accept some responsibility for the poor results so should the manager who seems to avoid that repeatedly by blaming the players.
Actually it is our Board of Directors who are the main reason in my view. We have threads on this issue recently under the heading of Bill Kenwright and many points have been aired. The fact is we have to sell to buy because of our lack of funds and our debts. Add to that the unwillingness of the directors to inject any capital into the club. Whether they are able to or not is another matter, if not then IMO they should sell and get out.
I wonder at what point will our directors actually stand up and be counted, does it take relegation, I ask. Because here we are nearly half way through the season and we are hovering on the edge of that battle. Notice the silence from BK and the rest is deafening. I honestly think unless something breaks we are at the start of a downward spiral. Look at last summer and our transfer activity to strengthen the squad, did we achieve anything? I know many will say it is scaremongering but a few results in our favour is not going to make a season or remedy the underlying problem at Everton, no money and little or no assets. In fact the way things are takes me back to the Johnson era where we had to sell to buy.
There can be no doubt whatever one may want to call the players or the manager the real culprits are the directors and unless that changes the club will not and we will struggle season after season. So how can we get at them?
