Reality Check - what is successful for Allardyce?

[Joey66]

Got them their first ever Euro trip.

Champions league? not the mickey mouse cup - ??????

Everton are historically the seventh most successful club in England by trophies won.

Everton paid the 10th highest salaries last season.

We all spunked our pants when we Moshiri came in net worth £1.7b (2.3usd)

The reality is that he is about the 15th richest owner in English football. When players like Sigi are going for close to £50m and Champions League level players are £75-200m, football is a market that makes Billionaires look poor.
Manchester City probably have a squad value close to £1billion in todays market. Moshiri will never spent that amount on a squad.

Even with a billionaire owner, we are further away from competing with with the top four - who are far far away now and only increasing this gap.

Putting aside unrealistic ambition of Top 4 and taking survival this year as a minimal. Over the next three season, what would you think Allardyce needs to achieve to be deemed successful?

We had the 7th highest wage bill last year, not tenth. And will be 7th highest again.

Well, no obvs.

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

A cup. It's always a cup. Once we improve off the pitch commercially then we can contemplate CL on a regular basis. Easier said than done.

 

[Joey66]

Well, no obvs.

That was our aim spending 130 million!

 

[mkrudden]

7th minimum.
Above will be success.

Thats fine, but I just answered a question, and the question was not Champs League.

I looked at the figures from https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jun/01/premier-league-finances-club-by-club
that suggested we were tenth. It may be a season out of date.
Everton were paying out £80m in wages. Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all paid out in excess of £195m. That is a huge gulf.

Another source shows suggest the same gulf between the Everton and the top six (however this suggests those around us maybe spent less). Not sure the accuracy of the source though: http://www.totalsportek.com/money/english-premier-league-wage-bills-club-by-club/

This season Top 10 finish.

Next season Top 7 Finish and League Cup Final

In this league, you have to run fast just to stand still.

Yeah out of date - we are way ahead of Villa!

An enormous gulf to the top 6 though.

 

[Stanley Parker]

So seventh place - the best of the rest - is the target for most clubs in the Premier League. There will be seasons where one team excels - as Leicester did - or one of the top six falters - Arsenal, say, when Wenger steps down.

But for most teams outside the top six, the Champions League is out of reach. So Allardyce's job is to bring some discipline to the club, compete with Watford and Leicester, and restore a record of good home results.
