The Everton Mysteries

[Thomasc]

Which macabre figure put a curse on us to be utterly turd for the rest of eternity.

How Duncan Ferguson has managed to keep a job whilst he's worked for multiple managers who have failed.


(The old 'You can tell him he's sacked' will no doubt be rolled out.)

Why is BELL Kenwright still anything to do with this club?

 

[blue4eva77]

Why do we always go for a ' flash in the pan ' or a ' he's got potential ' kind of manager ? Why ?

When was the last time we actually went out and brought in a guy who has seen and done it before.

Why are we serial bottlers in the derby

My lad is 18 in December and we've managed 3 wins in that time frame. He remembers just one of them almost a decade ago.

A thread that essentially is intended to be on a lighter note to the current doom and gloom elsewhere.

What I am struggling with is that we have spent, what, £450m in the last few seasons. Yes ok, we have sold as well as bought.

But if you are an incoming owner and you were about to cycle through nearly a half a billion quid in about three years, wouldn't you, as the casual fan, insist that most of it was spent on 1 in 2 strikers and mecurial creative players?

I just find it very odd that anyone would have that kind of wedge and look to "fill in the gaps". Sure, you'd understand the importance of building a team with, say, the other £300m(!), but I think you'd say "but £150m should be spent entirely on guaranteed blammos", which we have failed to even attempt to do.


So that's my Everton mystery. That, and why Snivelley once captained the side.

What's yours?

who spent all the millions on poor players and paying poor managers of......

Signing up and coming keepers who turn out to be/turn in to some sort of circus juggling act.

Why did I get up at 3.45am on New Years day last year to get a flight for our 1 nil home defeat in the early kick off to Leicester?

Why are we cursed in breaking records for crap players aka x hasn't scored in 30 games or x is on his debut and they're facing Everton.

.......If by “seen and done it before” you mean the all you can eat Gravy Championships sponsored by Bisto.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Why did the team that was expected to dominate the 70s fall apart by 71?
Why when we were dubbed the ‘Mersey Millionaires’ did we never establish a meaningful presence in Europe ?
Those are the forks in the road of our journey. .

Why is it so hard for us to look mildly competent. Why is there always something that makes it seem like he circus is in town

Because there's acceptance of mediocrity and incompetence throughout the club from top to bottom.

This is the sole reason for Everton's continued existence in the top flight. It's been a constant all through the PL years especially from Chris Armstrong scoring his first goal for Spurs to Jack Grealish ending his incredible losing run for Villa.

Who gave relegated Fulham 3 points last year as well? You did Everton, you did.

Where did the arteta money really go

I think Churchill was talking about Everton FC not Russia.

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.

There is nothing mysterious about Everton, it is a mystery first and foremost.
