De Zerbi is talking about building a dream team of top top players from back to back 17th place finishes.

Our manager is saying we can’t spend 200 mill but we can ‘go again’ next season. To what? 12th?

Just ZERO ambition at the club. It’s a carcass. A husk of a football team.

Talk is cheap. Anyone can talk wham and fool people with outlandish claims.

Spent most of this season waiting for us to get going, and still waiting.

He's just spouting what people want to hear. He'll probably be sacked by xmas

Unless you are a utter shambles of a club there should always be a succession plan, in fact most modern clubs have multiple succession plans for different scenarios.

If we've invested all this money into the non playing staff like we have done, and they don't have a succession plan for a manager as average as David Moyes, then we should all be very worried.

Unfortunately mate im yet to see everton do a succession plan.

Remember us being in a relegation fight and the club sacking the manager and then waiting 3 weeks to make a appointment on the last day of the transfer window two years on the bounce

The problem is if Moyes was down playing us but exceeding far more through performances and results e.g. a modest type of manager people would probably accept that but he downplays us which reflects itself in his team selections and the way he sets us up. Essentially to defend as much as possible and Nick a goal where we can so performances are disjointed because he cedes possession. He’s a spoiler of games.

 

[Bluewolf]

Same
Need someone lined up already
Thing is we may end up sacking him mid season with no good options because we are a club that is incapable of learning from our mistakes

This is my biggest worry.

Also if were not going to give him a new contract and it isnt looking like hes getting one and the likes of iraola is there why wouldn't you go after him?

the less time left on that contract the easier it becomes to sack him.

 

[Moomin]

The players want him to stay

They gave their all for him today.

 

[Victus]

Very arrogant man. How can he not see our issues with no wins in 7 and blowing a free hit of european football.

 

[Bluewolf]

Agree but if there is a manager out there available willing to come and drive us further then it should be looked into
What happens two or three months into the new season and results carry on in the same vain

Mate im balls deep on iraola. If were not on the phone to him offering anything he wants then we know the owners arent bothered with this club.

We should constantly be looking at getting a better manager in if ones available

 

[nick_waters]

He was alright at first, seemed to understand the job and was genuinely happy to be back. Knew he wouldn't be here that long etc but got a chance to right a few wrongs from when he left.

He is undoing all that by being his biggest fan again.

I agree with some of that, but he hasn't done that much better than Dyche especially when you factor in money. Some might call what he did last season an extended new manager bounce, but it was definitely good. Once he got his feet under the table, however, he reverted to the stubborn character that he was in his last couple of years with us and his latter clubs, and it was usually unpleasant before too long. As I stated earlier in this thread, his mismanagement this season of Alcaraz Armstrong, Dibling, O'Brien and arguably Patterson is unforgivable. I don't believe he can any longer take us forward. It's up to TFG to find out who can.

 

[Bluewolf]

Feel like transfer deadline day the amount im refreshing this page to see if hes gone yet

 

[Daytripper]

Sunderland won their last two games and qualified for Europa League . They were below us before we played them.Our attitude towards it the last few weeks has been awful. As if they didn’t want it or it was totally unrealistic.

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Don't forget, we won't have any new signings. Because "it's hard doing that in a world cup summer"

I laughed. But I can almost hear the words coming from the Everton press.

What’s surprised me the last 2 months is the complete reluctance to rotate the squad. Like, most modern managers have different players and tactics to suit the opposition, whereas Moyes doesn’t. If he was a bit braver and used the squad a bit more we maybe could have picked up a few more points and ended the season a success.

I’ve always been on the side of keeping him but the way the season has fizzled out is so frustrating, can anyone be arsed with another season of that.

I’m not sure you were paying attention to the last time he was here, it’s what he does. Its even the exact same formation and setup since the Man City game where we were told Rohl was only in to combat the threat of Nico O’Reilly…
This is what he’s always done. Flog his favourites (until they produce a Neville vs Wigan performance) and crumbs for everyone else. He ostracises younger players if they make mistakes but will give more experienced pros seemingly infinite chances to play themselves back into form. The fact he’s making excuses about needing even more players, who he won’t use, is laughable.
