I don't understand how anyone can give above a C andI think a C is pushing it, standards have well and truly fallen.
You are completely right that it isn't his fault how much we are paying, but if I look at the teams around us I wouldn't swap ours for another, we also have greater depth. If he can't get a tune out of x then he should have been able to get something out of Y.
Our mainly flat season has been caused by that December to February run of form and even before that the problems switching to zonal marking, without those issues we could have had a cracking season. He gets a lot of leeway as it still is night and day better than last year's tripe and the fact that he eventually did get us out of the trough. In future though he can't let a third of the season just go to waste.
I back him 100% I just feel he (we) could have and should have done more this season. The questions that will be answered next will be can he hack lots of games in a short period of time. I can't say for sure that was part of the dip but strange how as soon as we were playing (mostly) once a week our form picked up no end. Perhaps he is so meticulous that he just hasn't got a standard plan that can work in 85% of matches?
looks like Everton have themselves an Average (C) at best manager then .... so far.
He got results right when it mattered for public opinion .
Can't ignore the drop in form for so long but hopefully as the squad grows over the summer we won't see a repeat of that.
He has proven he can get the team up to winning games against the top 6, so a little bit of consistency and bringing in a player or two who can provide some clinical winners in games is needed.
If we finish 7th or 8th then that is standard for us, and to do it with half a squad is even better
There were lots of folk around February saying "see he got into a slump at Watford and he can't get out of it" - well I think he did and proved many wrong! Grade wise this hasn't been a season to remember but some individual performance will keep us all happy for a while.You are completely right that it isn't his fault how much we are paying, but if I look at the teams around us I wouldn't swap ours for another, we also have greater depth.

average club with an average manager, sounds about rightlooks like Everton have themselves an Average (C) at best manager then .... so far.
No, we aren't capable of getting an A currently, placings are the biggest benchmark we have, then performances and style of play and how many Ls in the lose column. The style of play has improved tenfold but the season ss a whole has been disappointing, very disappointing.Do you think that city winning the league and us winning the league with our current squad would warrant the same grade?
