That's well thought out and sensible, nice one mate!We have no idea if it will be successful lid. Firing a manager when in 11th and hiring Koeman isn't real big news.
When we start to win games and put any pressure on the top four places then that's when the media pay you attention. But I'd rather we were under the radar and to get near those four places where we are at the moment will be very difficult.
Newcastle spent ridiculous money last season and got relegated for example.

So we've gone from 'skint' to 'entitled' in 100 days
Even faster than I feared![]()
RAWKworthy this.Once upon a time there was a giant called Everton and he had fallen under the spell of a wicked witch. The witch, called Shortage of Funds, put Everton to sleep. After 25 years of being in a slumber a handsome Prince was out riding his horse and found Everton asleep in the forest, this rich Prince was called Moshiri and came from Persia.
The Prince banished Shortage of Funds from all of Goodison, the homeland of Everton and set about awakening the sleeping giant, he called upon another Prince of the Lowlands called Koeman to help him. But Koeman was still fearful of Shortage of Funds even though she had been cast out of Goodison. Prince Moshiri was a persistent Prince and he pursued Koeman, he showed Koeman great riches. Koeman then decided to ............

Ok lads let's calm the wish lists before we know Christmas is defo happening.
If those two go it will be hard not to talk about spending 200m worth on players.The return to the top table of English football has already started to happen but it seems to be slipping below the media radar.
The sacking of one manager and the appointment of his replacement costing in the order of 10m pounds is the kind of money that is only talked about when wealthy clubs are mentioned.
The new appointee being a manager which it was almost universally agreed was not going to happen as Everton were not attractive enough to tempt him from his present club and anyway his name was being mentioned with an Arsenal vacancy at some future stage....probably still will be.
The chase (hopefully successful) of an extremely high powered director of football in Monchi . This may or may not be successful but it shows a level of think unimaginable just a few years ago.
The new stadium has again become a live issue, this time there is a feeling it will be delivered and this time addresses are being mentioned that for so long were the stuff of dreams rather than reality.
I think that one or both of Lukaku and Stones will leave. I think the moves are probably more about money than ambition ...for the agents at least. I think we will spend a shed load of money but all the media will see will be the sales rather than the new arrivals.
I wonder when the odds for winning the premiership next season come out where Everton will stand.
I suppose the answer is a trophy and that probably would be a good answer, but the signs are there and they are being missed.
Do people not learn? We had all this hysteria with Martinez, which lasted two and a half years and only came to an end just a few months ago. Nothing has been achieved as of yet, we don't even have a manager at present, and appointing Koeman is not some massive piece of news that immediately puts us in the big time. We would actually have to get into the Champions League or win a trophy for this hysteria to be warranted, otherwise our status as also rans will be maintained.
