New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[mccole]

Zero Standards, Zero Ambition.

That's been our imo for years.

We have a new stadium, fans paying top dollar every game but the product on the pitch is underwhelming.

The board needs to back the manager this January if they want European football. Moyes for me is safe because he has credit from last season but I am not happy with the lack of recruitment in defence and forwards.

This season was always going to be up and down with the squad we have but the owners need to make a big decision on what the plan is going forward.

To end a cup tie with Campbell and Welch as our full backs and Beto and Barry as our strikers (and I’m not sure which is worse) when it’s their 3rd transfer window is shocking tbh.

Only had one transfer window tbf. January doesn't count according to Moyes and Kinnear

Especially if your season has ended.
Self fulfilling prophecy

First window - changed manager and followed his lead on recruitment not being needed to stay up - proven right.
Second window - oversaw massive squad churn and invested to improve the first team, with players who will retain / grow in value - so far we are the most improved team from last year (based on like for like points)
This window remains to be seen but I’d rather recruit quality at value than gap fillers who are at a premium - got to keep an eye on PSR
Their plan has been to steady the ship and progress as a club this year which is on track despite the shocking results this week.
I will judge them after next summer

We're pretty much on track for the same points and position as last year so any progress is pretty limited.

Hopefully we sign a few full backs at least this month.

Which of the summer signings have increased in value ?

We haven’t sold any yet so hard to say.

From memory we were on 17 points at this stage last season? Might be wrong.

Would bite your hand off for a top right back to be fair.

Barry - no
Dibling - definitely no
KDH - yes
Travers - who knows
Aznou - probably not, but hard to tell
Rohl - definitely not

I don't see any real argument that our recruitment was even decent. I think the only reason it's discussed so much is because we all don't want to admit we massively overrated and got carried away by our summer window. It was a 3 or 4 out of 10 at best in reality.

Oh well that’s that then

Billy Kenno would have never overseen this mess!!1!

Beto (KT), Barry and Chermitti (KT). Like a rogues gallery.

Barry wasn't signed by him. Beto and Chermiti were the only two forwards even close to the level that club could buy without any front payment.

if this happens progress is way down he will of had a full season opposed to half.

Iraola is a victim of his own success. The vultures have swooped and taken virtually every top player they’ve got. Is it any wonder they are struggling for consistency? What cannot be denied is even with weakened teams, his teams play football that are pleasing on the eye.

Hes been there 3 years and spent 400m. His highest points total is 56pts which moyes is on course to beat in his first full year in charge and seem to be struggling this season.

I genuinely dont see the big deal with iraola. Hes literally just came into the league thats about big, strong, fast and athletic players. He's bought big, strong, fast and athletic players and told them to run round like lunatics and press high. He hasnt reinvented the wheel. Its the same thing glasner has done at palace. What brentford have done ect.

What im bothered about is why were the only club in the league that refuses to buy the type of player this league is built on! Why dont we buy strong, fast players?

Barry is one of our fastest players and he got legged by 33 year old dan burn when he had a 2 yard head start on him the other week.

We had el bilal toure sewn up til atalanta showed up with actual money.

And the almeria ceo said they accepted a bit off Everton that they would of never accepted of anyone else. Which is embarrassing when you need charity off almeria
