Yeah, I thought Kinnear's programme notes closed the case on this, but over the last week I have started to have doubts. The pitiful performance at home to Sunderland, the fan reaction emptying the stadium turning the Coleman departure toxic, the sense that fan media has swung against him (with open suggestions we should be talking to others), and now comments like this suggest things are not as cut and dried as maybe I thought they were.That's weak and pitiful.
He had the squad this season to use but didn't.
I can only hope the words are interpreted by TFG as a goad and deflection away from a poor season and he gets his cards for it.
Also, if you were TFG you'd be thinking: "Hold on: if this feller is so concerned about transfer windows then why is he going over to the US for a 5 week jolly to stuff more cash into his bank account rather than focusing on his transfer lists?"
This feller is horrendous and most Evertonians have called time on him. Hopefully TFG do likewise ahead of time.
We`ll find one or two to spend 50 or 60 million of our transfer kitty on, and then sign 3 or 4 old yard dog footballers in their 30`s that will start every game ahead of them.Wonder what ‘raw’ 23 year old we’ll manage to pay a fortune for this summer.

Why would you be calling out the owners like this? Surely he knows the extent of their "ambition." I reckon he's not certain to stay on - at least in his own mind - and is now engaged in a propaganda campaign as demonstrated by that Beesley character in the Echo this week. When you're reduced to slagging off the most successful manager in history, the only man to win each and every one of the top five Euro leagues, not to mention four European Cups, you're probably feeling a little uneasy...
If TFG are genuinely ambitious and have ears to the ground locally, they'll be making an easy decision next week.

Said the other day he has the look, demeanour and actions of someone expecting a new contract but hasn’t heard from his bosses about it.Yeah, I thought Kinnear's programme notes closed the case on this, but over the last week I have started to have doubts.

Mid 20's and nobody's heard of him before, Stand out player, Solid link.Everton eyeing summer swoop for Stuttgart’s Jamie Leweling
Everton are looking to add a new winger this summer despite the decisions needing to be made over both George and Jack Grealish.
A report from Sky Sports Germany has claimed Everton are one of the sides showing an interest in Leweling.
The Toffees are joined by Bournemouth in showing ‘concrete interest’ in the right-winger, who is valued at €50m (£43m) by Stuttgart.
Anybody know more about this guy
He wants success now before he retires but spent the majority of his transfer kitty on “ones for the future.”We all know you only sign off the options the CEO gives you. So you might not be that fond of either.
Also Moyes hasnt got much time in management. He is 100% putting getting success asap rather than worried about staying in a job.
'Inherited' doesn't help the case once you extend contracts.…..bit mixed I’d say. Rohl certainly been used but maybe should’ve been used more, Barry has also been used and I’d say both are certainly ‘part of the squad’. Obviously KDH a central part of the team. There’s only Aznou and Dibling who I’d say have not ‘been part of the squad’, Aznou low money, low risk.
Ultimately Dibling has been the big disappointment but the acquisitions have generally been young players and mainly ‘part of the squad’. The older players you refer to were inherited and I expect many will be transitioned out with rebuild over next 12 months or so. It won’t be instant.
