We got lucky in the main. They're certainly not now. Sounds like you're happy with their effort currently?

No, but maybe it's partly due to having a manager who stabs you in the back in public?

That's a lot of supposition.

Ha, Indeed. The general point, was that we don't know what's going on behind closed doors. So a comment directed at maybe a couple of players, doesn't really bother me.

We need to ship out dead wood. We have done for a while. Cleverly and Niasse in the same week. Clearly more to follow. These are positive things.

I have no idea. But whatever he opts to do will be with Everton's best interests in mind.

Another El Fraudo sympathiser it seems - or a davek multi.......

Much more likely to be the latter of the two mate. Nobody actually thinks El Fraudo is a good manager anymore other then davek.

So we had a downturn in results months ago because of today's presser? Genius

No, it will be done with the best intentions. There's a massive difference.

I think it's great that, unlike his two most recent predecessors, he doesn't appear to be in bed with the board.

Moyes and Martinez would have been praising the club's efforts as the Schneiderlin negotiations rolled on until Deadline Day. Koeman actually puts a bit of pressure on them.

They actually were putting it in for him in the early part of the season. What happened after that? Why did that effort disappear?

I can only presume it was the huge slump that the team as a whole felt second half. The Baines appology was completely mad and I think he just lost the dressing room. You only have to look and see Kev and Rom's
Reaction when he was announced as Belgium manager as what had gone wrong.

The same thing Steve Walsh decided to join us, more money.

If he joined for the money, then you will be expecting a relegation battle and Ronald waiting around for the payout when he gets the sack (previous occupant of the managers chair springs to mind). I have a feeling your going to be disappointed, EFC are at last going places

Come on now, don't be naive.

I'm not expecting a relegation battle at all, both Walsh and Koeman joined us due to the money we offered them.

Money makes the world go round unfortunately.
