Yeah and then if you ignore literally everything else and not include the seasons after - he's a relegation specialist.
OK Matey.

His own words: "Let's get to 40 points" - literally every season with us.
Got brought to Sunderland to try and keep them up after flirting with relegation the previous season; ditto West Ham where he was brought into twice when they were facing relegation scraps.
I think that just about satisfies the relegation manager tag.
I rate DCL a lot more than most I think, and would have much preferred to have him over Beto, and I still think we did the right thing *at the time* of setting a hard salary limit. Much better practice in the long term.
Another ad hominem post. Do you have any actual arguments?
You certainly didn’t see him as a relegation specialist at the time when you wanted him sacked for Gareth Southgate to keep us up.
This is why you need to look at the next 2 Windows, we went into the summer window not respecting that we weren't as big an appeal as we thought. which resulted in grabbing what we can, Bar KDH/Grealish, in which Jack was just as much the clubs statement signing..
That window has passed now, we can't change it. We can just use it as a learning curve.
There's a glorious irony in this post not understanding how averages work
Gerrard did completely mess up a pretty decent squad tho, Villa certainly weren't a bare bones team.
The are a bad example to choose..

Will be a very interesting second half of the season. The big change at Everton now is that no one will be able to rest on their laurels. He needs to push the board for January signings and if the Friedkins back him again then they’ll want results. The summer was the fifth highest net spend in the league.
The summer will probably be the period that they consider a contract extension or a change of manager (as he’ll have one year left). The opportunity is therefore there to take us into Europe this season and go on a cup run. I’m just not sure that turning in 11th or 12th and saying look at the stability will be enough for the Freidkins. They will want Europe, revenues that come with that, and ultimately to be win trophies and be competitive. The predictable limp showings at Liverpool Chelsea Arsenal City Spurs Newcastle to not even gain a single point and only score one goal are not helping him, especially after doing so well to get the monkey off our back of winning at Old Trafford.
If we’d seen out the game after going 1 up against a terrible West Ham team, and picked up anything from that run of top half teams then the table would be looking extremely promising but there’s just this feeling that every time we look like we’re about to push on, the players collectively just phone one in and we get the Newcastle game or the first half an hour of the Derby, or major individual errors that just undercut the momentum.
We could be sat here in the European places and in the QF of the carabao cup with just a bit more care and attention but the only response back to this would be Moyes saying yeah but if we lost a few more we’d be looking over our shoulders again. I just don’t think the Friedkins will see it that way.
It’s a huge second half of the season.

He can't be that much of a relegation specialist, he took Sunderland down after Allardyce, Advocaat, Poyet, Di Canio, O'Neill, Steve Bruce and Sbragia all kept them up. No wonder they can't stand him if that lot saved them.
I'm prob forgetting a few other numpties.

Very creative contorting of reality this one, actually impressed.

How is saying he's a relegation manager and me saying he wont keep us safe a contradiction? He couldn't keep Sunderland up either.You certainly didn’t see him as a relegation specialist at the time when you wanted him sacked for Gareth Southgate to keep us up.
Maybe put your thinking cap on next time?
I supported him, I didn't say I 'loved' him.
I was glad to see him arrive and build a solid foundation for us in dire times. But then he ruined that by trying to project himself as big as this football club (just as if that amoeba could ever be that) and rubbished the fans and protected the worst owner in Everton history.
Can someone unplug the Grinch over Christmas please ?
You just said he’s a “relegation specialist” meaning a specialist in surviving relegation? You didn’t think that in January, you thought he was taking us down and wanted Gareth Southgate to replace him, a manager that’s been relegated in 100% of his jobs in club football
