Where will the club be in 5 years time. I see no strategy.

The board must be bricking it at the prospect of Moyes leaving. If they get a manger in and he doesn't perform to the same standard in the transfer market then we could sink pretty quickly really.

No Lescott or Arteta and lord knows where we'd be right now.

18 years without a trophy. That's not Everton. And it'll be 20 odd years by the time we win another one at this rate. It's a disgrace.

To be read on Stoke forums in 2018................

At least we're not Everton. Floundering in the Championship because their owners finally got exposed for the gash awful owners they are after Moyes left, they're just as bad as them foreign owners at the likes of Villa and Portsmouth. Oh look a throw in yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

evertonians deserve everything they get from the board, for those that want change/protested against the board I feel sorry for them as we know the chances of a car crash is high, but for those that clap at Kenwright on the screen they deserve every bit of misery they get.

With wages increasing, the ground not an issue, david moyes contract up in the summer, lots of players getting older with longer contracts into their mid thirties.

Wheres the five year plan?

Wages- We've shedded the wages of Yobo, Arteta, Cahill, Yakubu, Rodwell, Saha, Bilyaletdinov, Beckford and Vaughan in the last couple of seasons. At worst I would imagine that our wage bill has stayed roughly the same. We have a small squad with very few high earners, so it is well-managed.

Ground- If we can believe the board their are both short-term and long-term plans in place to deal with the ground issue. Ideally we need a suitable site and a commercial partner if we are to move. I can imagine that it is a drawn out process and that the council could be more helpful.

Moyes- The manager is dragging it out as a bargaining chip to get Kenwright to commit to spending a large proportion of the tv money in the summer in my opinion. Davey will get his way and we'll all benefit.

Players- Distin and Neville probably both have another year left in them. They push the average age of the squad up significantly. Jags, Pienaar, Howard and Osman are probably in their peak now. We then have a raft of players including Coleman, Baines, Fellaini, Gibson, Mirallas, Jelavic, Oviedo, Anichebe and Naismith with their best years still ahead of them. And beyond that we have an exciting crop of youngsters such as Duffy, Garbutt, Barkley, Vellios and Gueye. Not forgetting youth players like Hope and Green.

We don't need a revolution. If we can improve each year in small, incremental steps we will be doing very well. Hopefully the extra cash in the summer will allow us to purchase some quality to support Jelavic. If we can add one or two more to flesh out the squad and bring some of the younger players through we will have improved yet again.

The cup competitions are pot luck and we're never going to win the league or a european competition with the experience of our rivals and the millions that other clubs can spend. If we can consistently challenge the top 4 Moyes will have worked miracles.
 
......really good thread. I firmly believe we have a very decent side but our strategic position is precarious because we have a Manager who is the clubs key asset and could leave in the near future. As mentioned above, we have a hand to mouth financial existance and that wont change without investment. We are Evertonians, we are realistic and we know we could sink or swim.

None of us know the ins and outs of our circumstances. If we were a fan-run club though, what would we do differently, if anything?
