Probably Keir Starmer
35 yearsI blame Everton for being utter turd at footy for the last 5 years.
I still have faith in the staff that they're doing the best they can with what they have, I just think they underestimated how hard it would be to find talent this summer. The fact is, Everton have looked awful over the last few years, the top talents just won't want to come. I'm starting to get a bit worried about the start of the season, but I still feel the blame should mostly be put on the previous group in charge. I don't think we're going to be in a relegation fight, but a top 10 finish might be further away than we thought.

Perhaps it's semantics, but I think we can see the strategy - go younger, hungrier, top end talent whose best days are ahead of them. Look at the guys we've signed (Barry and Aznou) and are/were linked with (Delap and Fofana)The recruitment team are to blame. Its pretty clear there is no overall strategy.
Didn't they sit down last month for a "Transfer Summit".The recruitment team are to blame. Its pretty clear there is no overall strategy.

What would a good strategy be? Kidnapping the players and forcing them to sign a contract? If players don't want to sign for us and have better options I don't see what anyone can do about that. We arent rolling in cash so we have to build.some positivity about the place with less depressing on field performances and some desperately needed stability. Thats the only stratergy that can help us over a number of seasons.The recruitment team are to blame. Its pretty clear there is no overall strategy.
