Everton are bigger than any manager any player. We the fans are the club.

Don't get the fuss about players and managers leaving the club. If baines, felliani, moyesleave the club guess what we the fans are still here and that is what keeps the club alive.

if you choose the wrong manager and wrong player in a position you change it. but the one constant has to be me and you. if we still support the club we will never die.

no manager or player is more important than we the fans. if we stop going or we stop supporting then questions about then there is a problem.

I agree in theory, but in reality very little has changed behind the scenes from the days we were relegation candidates. The truth is other clubs can offer our manager better oppurtunites to express his skills. We are very dependent on Moyes for my money. Who needs who more remaines to be seen - but to be honest i would be very concerned if he left.

Without doubt, yet the whole thing is interdependent systemically, bit like a house of cards.

everton will always be bigger than the players and staff, but we don't want them all to leave. We'll still keep the club going, but we want to be successful. You can't do that if all your best players and manager have gone. The fans aren't the ones who step out on the grass and they certainly aren't the ones who put the ball in the back of the net

Indeed and I can see us repeating the cycle again untill the owner has sold up.

If Moyes leaves, it will be the end of an era, when when one era ends another begins, and it will be as successful as we work to make it.
Moyes has done a great job for us, but Kenwright has failed us in this era. We are treading water to compete off the field, just as we were when he took over.

Players come and go, managers come and go, and custodians come and go but we'll stay Everton FC. If we strive to live up to the motto of our club every day then there's no reason we won't be successful, no matter what the future holds.

It Dosent help that the manager has put the current owner in all sorts of trouble.
I'm no BK fan what-so-ever, but what's he supposed to do now ? Wait until May ? See if Davie fancies signing again ? Actively seek a replacement ?
You can give me all the ' within his rights to run his contract down ' all you like. He can do one for me.
David Moyes is not bigger than Everton Football Club.
I will miss all the trophies and Derby wins if he does go, don't get me wrong, but I have changed my opinion of him in the last 24 hours. Get beat today, he should resign.

I think he will be kacking himself mate, Moyes has papered over a lot of cracks for many years. I hope but am not certain that he will see the writing on the wall.

Oh, no doubt.
But he really must look for a replacement now ! Do you agree ?

The club couldn't give the slightest of sh*ts about the fans, they're there to squeeze as much money out of us as possible.

It's news to me that people are considering stopping supporting Everton. In fact I doubt if anyone is.
