New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

Ringing any bells?

West Ham?

Did alright there didn’t he?

We're not in total chaos though, the arbiters of the Chaos Bill & Moshiri are footnotes in the past now

Fair enough , but sport is meant to be aspirational.
I go always in the hope that better days and better football are around the corner.
The appointment of Dour Davey means that we haven’t reached that corner yet .
It’s likely to be another three years before hope makes another appearance.
And I’m running out of time

I agree with you mate. Sport is meant to be aspirational, but football is crooked. Every day I fall more and more out of love with the sport. I hate what its become and I guarantee that if I had discovered today then I wouldn't give it a min of my time. Its literally just the memory of how much I used to love it that keeps me invested.

Yes it's unfortunate that we're looking at another two plus years of dross but this is the consequence of people blindly allowing our previous administrations to destory us. Its infuriating but thirty years of mismanagement can't be undone in a single transfer window. It takes time to fix. I wish it wasn't so but it is what it is.

West Ham?

He did alright and might do alright here. He’s not a great manager and I’m not looking forward to 2.5 years of dour football and him talking us down, which he has always done.

There may be some clause in there to terminate Moyes early. I don’t know. Can’t see TFG locking in on what’s kind of a hope experiment right now for two years if they just sacked Dyche before his contract was up. Just guessing.

 

[Toffeepot]

I could understand this if he hadn’t been given 2 and half years.

Same as Dyche
I guess it's easier for the managers to demand it when there aren't many available
could be 18 +1 optional too but likely a straight 2.5

We are in an absolutely brilliant state now compared to Sunderland in 2016/17 to be fair mate.

Well that’s not true is it?

That was under BK too though who was happy for him to lower expectations
TFG might not be as forgiving or as supportive of that

Hard to disagree with any of that, brother
Anyway there is always the beer !!!!
John Houlding may be our historical enemy ( and a Tory ) but he was right about one thing ,
bang a pub in the ground , supporters are happy and the club makes money , win , win
Damn our liberal , teetotaller board members

We've had Ancelotti when we were a basket case too.

And? Because a manager joined us years ago, doesn’t mean there is currently a load of world class managers waiting to join us now.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

It’s great that normal order has been so swiftly restored and we can get back to hating / mistrusting/ deriding our inept self serving owners once more .
Added bonus is that they happen to be septics struggling to understand soccerball .

If you’re not happy with the Moyes appointment (I’m fine with it aside from contract length) and you’re looking for someone at whom to direct your ire, look no further than the dire, treacherous Scotch Egg that has just left us. For better or worse it looks like TFG were happy to stick with him then look in the summer for a brand new manager to take the project. Less than a month into their tenure he comes to them and informs them he ain’t up to the task, but won’t resign and demands all of his money and more in Weatherspoons vouchers. He put the owners in a really bad position, and they have moved extremely quickly to resolve the situation and employ a manager who they believe will protect their investment up until the next stage. Dyche absolutely destroyed the one chance he had at managing a big club, and hopefully that will haunt him forever, and hopefully once again Moyes will leave us in a better position than he left us.

Only if you believe a Kopite hack they used to peddle their line.

I reckon after a year an a half he will up stairs anyway, would make a decent DOF Moyes.
