The owners haven’t actually hired a manager in a real search. Dyche quit and Moyes had to be rushed in. They kept him on. There’s nothing about the hire that shows it aligned with any longer term goals or plan.

They made changes in the backroom but signed a bunch of players anyway. The strategy followed no discernible plan. There’s almost certainly wasted money in that now, and as a fun bonus the manager seems unwilling to use the player provided. Again there’s a big disconnect.

And the manager continues to do zero to further the development of the squad. We’re playing an old side every week, not bedding in the new signings largely and not developing our style of play in a way that will precipitate more consistent performances.

Nothing is aligned. There’s no plan. We’re just sending out the guys the manager likes every week with the same plan that he was using in 2008 and hoping to pick up some points.

The club is broken in the same way it was in 2017. No one, not the owners, the directors or Moyes have shown they get it yet. I hold out some hope because of what Roma have shown the last few years but as we sit here today nothing that has happened with Everton speaks to the next five years being considerably better than the previous five.

I said almost exactly this in another thread. We haven't recruited a manager that hasn't either been an emergency after a sacking or a last minute Hail Mary (Ancelotti) with a plan of how to support them in the transfer market or how we might play since Koeman, and calling that transfer window "a plan" is a bit of a stretch. I'm hoping that TFG or Kinnear or whoever is in charge of this decision has a plan for either summer 26 or summer 27 with the next five years in mind. I'm not convinced that is in place, however. I'm currently keeping a healthy dose of scepticism about the Friedkins.
