But what you say doesnt make sense. We have been awful this year but are 4 points off 7th to a side people are raving about as having had a fab season and their manager deserving manager of the season award.
Their is also a massive gap between top 6 and those below - being best of the rest should be a given if we continue to spend the money we have been - those saying money doesnt matter tell that to the top 6 clubs who consistently win trophies and titles. Again 7th isnt a massive ask and those who saying it is are trying to advocate we are on a level playing field with clubs like Watford and Wolves which is false considering we spend more money than them year on year.
Ny next point is as you say if we improve next season surely we shouldn't be still stuck in 9/10/11?
Brands signs the players, sets the philosophy Silva is simply a coach EFC do not employ managers anymore they employ coaches and losing Silva wouldn't change very much if anything as Brands employs the next bloke who can work with this squad/the style set by him NOT Silva.
Watford for example chop and change every season yet do not spend massive money like we have had too as they have a structure running through the club.
Being a best of the rest should not be a given because we've spent money, You could spend all that money on gash oh wait that's what Everton actually have done recently (Not including Silva/Brand signings in this statement.) The top 6 have had a solid sturdy squad for many MANY seasons which Everton do not have which is why we mix among the top half of the table. You seem to fixated on money and that having spent so much money we should be getting 7th easily, That's just utter nonsense imo. Having money is only 1 slice of the pie to becoming a top club.
No one is saying 7th is a massive ask people are saying they won't demand it under the club's current rebuild process which is entirely fair. Burnley finished 6/7th last year and are fighting relegation lad it means nothing finishing 6/7th for a single season.
By improve I mean Football, The football is better and the results is better, Beating the fodder teams and hopefully getting results against the top 6 and build a young squad that can lead us for many years, Getting a top half finish isn't end of the world nor does it mean we're on the same level as Wolves or Watford.
Brands is signing the players and deciding on which model he wants the team to be which is a squad of 23/25 year olds and below fighting and getting better each season, If you think losing a coach isn't going to affect the team then you are completely lost in what Silva and Brands do.
This is not Brands style of Football, It's Silva's style of Football.
Brands and Silva haven't even had a year and people are always going to the extremes as Everton fans do, Understand patience is thin because this club has been a joke for years but we have to start somewhere and maybe Brands and Silva deserve some space to put the rebuilding future plan into action which will take a lot longer than 1-2 seasons.
You clearly have no patience at all for this idea of Brands and Silva and just want 7th 7th 7th 7th instantly because we've spent money we have to finish 7th, Just not how Football works these days unless you're one of the stacked clubs like the Uniteds and Chelsea's.
