The Illicit Power of Our Overpaid and Underachieving Players

[cahill 17]

Remember just before Silva was sacked and one of the board, was it Moshiri or Kenright?, Came down to Finch Farm and had the players alone in the dressing room and asked what was going on and some spoke out but some didn't.

It was moshiri he came to meet the players and brands was trying to persuade him to give silva more time

Entire clubs up the wall

Mad Owner
Useless Chairman
Weak board
Terrible Manager
Squad of overpaid wasters who sit on 100k+ a week an do nothing
A non existent midfield
A boys club
Wrong people in the wrong jobs at the wrong time

The tea lady is pretty good though, so it’s not all bad mate

Make no mistake - whatever your view on Benitez - this will be another casualty brought about by the dressing room at this club. Another group of players have downed tools and seen off another manager by the looks of it.

An attempt has been made to pull power away from the dressing room and toward the manager and they have reacted by handing in terrible performances.

It will happen again and again and again. It's the reason why this club will continue to go nowhere fast. We are utterly cursed by a culture of 'dont give a flying one as long as I'm paid'. The coaching staff beyond Benitez should be booted down the road. They've been there for years and have allowed this lack of professionalism to persist and probably encouraged it.

And so here we are: another managerial search (lost count of them) in the 6 years Moshiri has been here.

The biggest enemy this club has got and will continue to have are the frauds running around in blue jerseys on the pitch.

You are WRONG!


But Hi ?

I'd say disappointing bottle jobs when we needed them, yes. But that's been the case for decades.

Cowardly...not really as we didn't get spanked regularly and we're solid defensively, got some monkeys off the back in terms of away games.

Wasn't all rosy in the garden because there's a lack of quality. The max that squad gave was last season IMO with room to improve. There was a foundation.

This season....the complete reversal. Mainly cos the ex Spaniard is trying to get them to do things they can't
, Blaming them, and not helping

I think that there were a fair few games in the second half of last season when the players just weren’t bothered….no passion and very little effort. Ancelotti was just left there shaking his head. No surprise he walked away, no manager wants to work with players that don’t give a damn.
Kissing the badge after being spanked in a game is not passion. It’s pathetic.
The majority of the first team have been doing this for several seasons.

Cheers, thought I hadn't dreamt it,

Whoever the next manager is, can we all agree now that if they get £2m, in 6 months they are also unlikely to fix this mess?

A little bit. But I still put it down to quality. We lost games by small margins last season - 1.0s, 2.1s. The only game we got spanked was against City the last game of the season.

He got exasperated due to the players not being able to get to a level IMO. We fell away by the end but for the whole season, 10th was the lowest we ended up right at the end. 3 points from 7th. By April we had a game in hand and we're 3 points from 4th.

Overall, it's a foundation we should've built on. Would've been great to have Carlo steering that but...it's Real Madrid isn't it.

We had to either continue or rebuild. If it was a rebuild, a Potter would be your safe bet (which apparently we looked at). Or I think, try and continue which is why we got Benitez.

But he's a lying fat toad that just wanted to shaft us.

….but the power of the players won’t win out, nor will bad results or the protests of the fans. I know this because @davek told us himself a few days ago.

Benitez is being backed in January, he’s in total control, he’s going nowhere.

It sounds like you're crowing about a group of frauds taking the piss out of Everton and winning their battle with a manager. It sounds EXACTLY like that.

Yeah, you "win" I suppose.

Well done. The con men prevail again.

Brands wanted to keep Silva and was looking for reasons to do so. The Athletic wrote that when they spoke to the players it was a bit 50/50 but when they actually sat with Silva...he didn't put much of a fight up.

The way this is all heading I'm genuinely expecting Netflix to suddenly announce they're launching a documentary called 'Everton til I die'.

No, any basic coaching does much better than what Jaffa did

Same as the rest of us, moan about the boss behind their back but when face to face we nice as pie ?

He actually wanted to give him more time, like now BK forced the issue.

No. I dont see why we should. I mean, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, right?

Why should any other manager get support when their predecessors have all been hounded out?

That doesn't seem fair to me. Whoever gets the job...unless it's that 'kin galloot conman who many adore...WILL be hung out to dry by the players and then hounded out by the mugs who back them on the terraces.

That's the now established Everton Way.

I’ve always backed Everton managers. But this was destined to fail from the start, he was always on a hiding to nothing and I have no sympathy at all for the position this board now finds themselves in. The fans told them what they thought about this appointment before he’d even set foot in the place.
And why I should I back this fella? He’s shown absolutely NOTHING to suggest that he’s going to get it right and yesterday only drove that home. 442 with Solomon Rondon as some sort of 10, continually persisting with Coleman even though Father Time has obviously caught up with him. Forced out one of our better players. Never takes the blame for any of our abysmal performances. 1 win in 13 games. He’s caused murder at every club he’s been too. Was you fuming the days we got rid of Mike Walker and Walter smith too?

lol lol lol lol
