Not true. We were going absolutely nowhere under Kenwright. He got lucky that Moyes could perform miracles but frankly the only thing that kept us up under Martinez was having one of the best strikers in Europe in the team. The squad was complete and utter trash by the time Martinez finished with it and the only money we had available was from player sales. We were buying the likes of Mcgeady and Cleverley.

Now even after we blew a load of money on rubbish players, we still had 40 mill to drop on Richarlison, we’ve had money to pay off poor managers and entice new ones, and we’re finally starting to see players increase in value.

We’re in a position now where we can back a top manager with money without having to sell all our best players. We’ve never been in that position before in our prem history. Plus we have a new stadium on the way. All within 4 years after Kenwright spent 20 not getting close. No progress at all though.

I think what we are describing here is a process of laying foundations. I've said for some time, if we can get on a role under Moshiri we will probably sustain that momentum far better and who knows where it could end.

What the last 4 years have probably shown me, is the centrality and importance of a first team manager. You can have all the other things in the background but if you're manager isn't good enough it will be in vain.

I know you have some criticisms of the squad, but honestly it's much better than 2 years ago, never mind 4 years ago. We have a number of players under 25 who have good potential. We are not having to play Martina, or Kenny, or Davies (at 19). We are not throwing bad decisions after bad with Tosun and Walcott.

It's not been shown on the pitch yet, but I'm pretty certain we will be as close to the top 6 and probably the top 4 as we have been since Martinez's first season.
 

I dont know so tell me.

Poor Andy went in for a challenge with Peter Reid and ended up being escorted off the pitch with a broken nose and not knowing what day it was. :p

Does that make make me a boss blue for knowing that? Anyway, big Uzzy.
 

Ask him who the RS manager wa s before Bill shankly, none of them ever know, inbred bleats that they are. In a few years time none of them will know who was the manager before Klopp :/ RS currently have the most effective side in Europe, why they would have to lurk in here pretending to be Evertonians baffles me, but then any kind of cross dressing always has?

King run into Reid,and it was a total accident.
Never understand these Blues who try to make out Reid was some sort of midfield hardcase & enforcer.
The hard cases in that team were Gray & Van Den Hauwe

The great thing about that team was that they all had a bit about themselves. Reid ground people in to the ground with his tireless work ethic and, could look after himself while often doing the same for the rest of the team. Reid made that team tick.
