End of season awards watered-down

[summerisle]

OK, here goes:
- Young player:
1. Richarlison
2. Calvert-Lewin
3. Davies

- POTS:
1. Digne
2. Keane
3. Gueye

I'd have voted for Pickford, but Liverpool happened.

- Goal:
1. Digne v Burnley
2. Sigurdsson v Fulham
3. Calvert-Lewin v Brighton

The women's team aren't doing too bad either. They actually beat the RS UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE. And I love EITC. Yes, I know we don't win trophies by being nice but you can't have it both ways, you can't complain about how footballers are detached and live in their own world, and then complain when they try to give something back.

Why can't we reward players who actually do deserve it, though? Not everyone in the squad is useless. Also, loads of crap teams have end of season awards, we're not the only one.

The only team that Yeovil Women (being relegated and going part-time) have ever beaten (twice) in the League is, guess who ? Have only won twice in 16 games, I know standards are not high, but that is crap.

OK, maybe not then. It was mainly the beating the RS bit that stood out because I'm so sick of our men never doing it.

The U23’s did it a few weeks ago.

Oh G-d, they did. I need a slap.

If everyone wants to have a back slapping shindig at the end of the season, do something to deserve it. Else it is just handing out awards for mediocrity.

Again, Everton is not just about the mens first team.

The womens team had a good season last year, the youth teams did well, the community teams did great and some people deserve recognition for what they do behind the scenes etc.

It would be nice if the mens first team did something of note but that shouldn't mean that everyone else involved in the club shouldn't get a bit of recognition.

Couldn't that be done at a bit less grandiose event though away from the first team?

Digne
Sigurdsson
Gueye

Richarlison
Calvert-Lewin
Davies

It looks like the club have decided to knock it on its head this year. I know the consensus on this will be "who cares" but I think it's a shame.

Whatever you think of Everton's season etc - I always think there should be an event at the end of the season that fans are able to attend.The awards are a lot more than just Everton's first team, they acknowledge the youth teams, ladies teams, legends and fans. Here is EFCSA Chairman John Blain's view on the 2017 event. They're good events, they club do really well in ensuring the events make noise in the city and importantly it's a chance for the club to connect with fans.

Last year;



To now;



Not convinced on the PR angle of "more accessible" it makes me wonder the motivation behind in effect semi cancelling the event? Unless I'm reading it wrong?



If anyone is aware of any Everton events in May, please let us know!

I’d totally bin them off and reward any team who actually achieves success with the money saved - weeks holiday for the squad or something be great for the young lads.

I’m not sure about anyone else, but it boiled my urine watching them last year Klassen, Martina, Rooney and Athens like in their tuxes and grins celebrating utter dross. Remember the year Bill created an award and gave it to himself.

Rather throw the money into EITC or actually reward a winning squad whatever age or gender.

End of season awards, basically rewarding failure, ill pass

Why should it be less grandiose? Club is, and has to be, about more than the men’s first team

 

[GwladysBlue]

The least we hear/see Bill Kenwright, the better, IMO.

I doubt a venue such as the Philharmonic Hall could be filled for the end of season awards for the U23/U18 teams. Both those sides deserve recognition and a posh do, but one that could be held in a nice hotel's conference room.

The ladies have won 2 games in 16 so far and have only been spared relegation by Yeovil being so bad and financially unstable. They like the men's first team deserve the awards that the fans vote for to be handed out at Finch Farm after the last game with minimal ceremony.

 

[BernieH]

I went Digne, Gana, Bernard
YP - Richarlison, DCL,Davies(3rd spot is a bit meh)

If it gets Bill away from a microphone then great.

He can’t help himself.
