Everton Discussion posts

I haven't read many on this site who are happy with the brand of football we play under Dyche, myself included. However, if you knew at the beginning of the season we would get an 8 point penalty, would you have been happy with the current position we find ourselves in with 4 games remaining.
I am really torn between wanting him out and a fresh start next season, or putting up with the brand of football for another season and probably being safe again. We know we will be operating on a shoestring again which works to Dyches strength.

{Ed025's Note - tough one that TBT, but who,s to say that a new manager wont do better mate?....but of course he could do worse..

Hi Ed 025 what happened last night was nothing short of a miracle for Everton first win on home soil since 2010,how many managers have we had since then until Sean turned up they all failed, one swallow does not make a summer and all that but you have to give it to the guy and the Team they were bloody fantastic the whole Team played so well and totally deserved the win, next question why can't we play like that week in and week out makes no sense, big question is now do we stick with Sean and eventually he gets his own players in or do we bin him and most of the Team and start again, we have taken a hammering of late and have been playing total tripe that we have all had enough or can we trust them or start again, thanks mate tough one eh.

{Ed025's Note - it was a great night and a top performance GB, i thought our fans were magnificent again and they were our 12th man, people are lauding SD and rightfully so but i have to ask if thats how we can play what the hell happened at Chelsea?, it was chalk and cheese and so i have to question the players and manager im afraid, i dont want to put a dampener on last night though so i will just enjoy the rest of the season and see how things pan out..

It’s all we can do mate whilst I’m really chuffed with last night it still hits a nerve as to why it’s taken so long I mean even Young even had a decent game second half last night, we on here will never agree so it’s cheers buddy.

25 Apr 2024 07:57:20
Just thinking about the FFP/ PSR. I know they've been arguing about mitigating factors like the USM sponsorship etc. Would they be able to argue about our league position due to points deductions because I read each spot is worth £2.2m more than the previous. As we would be 2 places higher and realistically able to go another 2 places higher. As this would've been near £9m extra. It's like we are getting punished twice.

25 Apr 2024 09:43:14
Could be absolutely wrong here and i apoligise if i am but am sure ed 002 has stated we need to raise 80-90 sales by end of june to avoid the 3rd charge so brathwaite will definitely be in the shop window and i imagine onana will be aswell be a sad day when jarrad leaves think if the lad keeps his head down an keeps playing way he is big clubs will be courting him.

25 Apr 2024 09:50:55
We broke the rules so asking for mitigation would be rejected. We have only been punished once the punishment and consequences were known when the penalty was given by the independent commission. The fact that the whole process was flawed is completely inconsequential.

25 Apr 2024 10:37:28
Well if we hadn't signed Ali and Danjuma there's over 8m we could have saved on two players who never play.

24 Apr 2024 20:31:27
How is Klopp being allowed to berate the for a half hour straight?! Double standards.

24 Apr 2024 21:00:27
He's untouchable. They don't want to ruin his last season in the EPL.

25 Apr 2024 09:36:59
His team are getting spanked so he’s trying to influence the officials, because they normally get everything.

25 Apr 2024 10:39:43
He's been doing it for years. Tries to intimidate the officials when things aren't going his way. Will be glad to see the back of him.

24 Apr 2024 16:52:32
Do any of the Ed's know, with a degree of certainty, what are the monthly shortfalls on both the footballing side and the Bromley Moore development?

{Ed002's Note - It would be easy to work out but not really relevant. The loans and debt are the issue.}

24 Apr 2024 19:26:11
It is certainly relevant if Mr Moshiri hasn’t made a first charge condition on his loans.
If this is not the case it would be in his financial interests to cover any monthly shortfall, as additional loans, to avoid any threat of going into administration.

25 Apr 2024 06:19:52
Don’t think Moshiri cares anymore Fancy. He just wants out and to leave this mess for someone else to clean up.

25 Apr 2024 09:17:30
Moshiri will care as he has a very large financial investment within the club. It would not be in his or his backers bet interest to let the club fail. I would imagine he is doing everything he can for a successful transition to new owners.

24 Apr 2024 07:38:00
Hi Ed 02. You mentioned somewhere about administration being possible in Mid May. What would we need to do to avoid that happening? Does it look like 777 won't be taking over? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Have the money in place to pay the MSP debt in full.}

24 Apr 2024 10:23:25
Hi Ed,

As mentioned on a previous thread by a fellow poster if we were more than 9 points clear come last game of season.

Could we go into administration this season and take the 9 points hit this season and try get ourselves some breathing space and house in order during summer.

Sure not so straight forward but just curious if a viable option for all.

{Ed002's Note - No, it is not as simple as that I am afraid.}

24 Apr 2024 11:10:22
Thanks Ed ?.

24 Apr 2024 12:43:32
Thanks Ed. Let's hope we have the money in place to pay it, doubtful by the looks of things.

25 Apr 2024 09:31:24
Its not just about 9 points! If we go into administration the club would loose all control over any asset it owned and the administrator would sell what ever they thought necessary to fulfill the necessary financial obligations. I would suspect that our best players and BMD would be the first assets to be sold as it would probably raise the most capital in the short term. Then depending on how bad the finances are you have all the turmoil over what would happen to the staff at the club, could we actually exist as an ongoing entity? Everton may actually fail completely and no longer exist! Going into administration in my opinion would be the worth possible scenario.

23 Apr 2024 14:57:40
Of the potential clubs that are going down this season are there any players you would want from them.
Sheff Utd
Burnley
Luton
Forest.

23 Apr 2024 16:31:05
Your assuming we are safe I take it?

23 Apr 2024 17:01:30
Pay for no! On a free then maybe.

23 Apr 2024 18:20:29
Hamer from Sheffield Utd all day long!

23 Apr 2024 18:47:13
Agree Worcester and I'd look at Trafford at Burnley if Pickford was to go.

In fact if and when Dyche does go Company be a decent shout for manager. Young, good premiership experience and you would presume decent connections, got Burnley some decent stuff at times.

23 Apr 2024 18:57:04
We won't get him but gibbs-white from forest, barkley from luton and berge from Sheffield utd. I'm not sure there's a decent striker at them clubs that's any better than what we have though.

23 Apr 2024 20:15:06
Where we not looking at Bereton Díaz before? He is a Villareal player but if a loan was available (cheap loan) surely he is an improvement.

Second Hamer.

Josh Brownhill on a free.

That lad at Forest Awoniyi the ex Liverpool striker.

22 Apr 2024 22:35:29
Consensus on this site, and mine now, seems to be to bring in a new manager for next season. Anyone got thoughts on who they realistically would like to see here. Must admit, I can't see who would want to take on what is likely to be a massive challenge over the summer.

{Ed025's Note - its a tough one that TBT and it would depend if they would take the job in the first place, i think Potter would be a good choice myself, but if not would like us to take a chance on an up and coming young manager from the championship mate..

22 Apr 2024 23:09:25
Realistically it will be Dyche next season - there is no money at the club and taking loans out to survive week by week so can’t imagine we’ll sack Dyche.

If by some miracle we are looking for a new manager then Potter, Michael Carrick or Lee Carsley would potentially be realistic targets for us - Kieran McKenna would also be a good shout but only if Ipswich fail to get promotion.

22 Apr 2024 23:51:57
Thanks Ed. I would probably go with your second choice and someone who knows the players from the lower divisions. It's where we're going to be shopping I guess.

{Ed025's Note - it does look that way TBT..

23 Apr 2024 09:00:40
Hope it is players from lower leagues matey, some gems down there and lads that actually want to play for us, breath of fresh air from the tripe served up by our so called superstars.

23 Apr 2024 10:27:59
Sheaf from Cov for me GB.

23 Apr 2024 12:25:11
Yep he would be one I d pick as well mate, good shout.

23 Apr 2024 15:09:44
Managers have massive egos, and plenty will be up for taking us on. As long as we are still a Premiership team.

23 Apr 2024 15:49:36
And we don't want a massive ego managing our club. We want a feet on the ground guy with good coaching skills and the ability to use players to their strengths and not because they are his favourites. Potter and Howe fit the bill for me and, maybe a few others. No previous managers for me. The club they knew has long gone and needs to change.

24 Apr 2024 12:55:44
Rather have Harry Potter.

24 Apr 2024 17:06:47
Think he means all managers even the likes of Potter and Howe have big ego’s.

22 Apr 2024 20:49:47
I honestly have no idea why people are worried. My god we are an awful team and we struggle to put 2 forward passes together. But there is no way Forest and Luton are going to win 2 games. I'm not positive about us like GB is, I just can't see either of those teams getting the points they need. Yesterday's win is the one that has kept us up I would say.

{Ed025's Note - not quite dan but its gone a long way to securing it mate..

22 Apr 2024 21:04:22
I might be wrong, I just can't see the others picking up enough points.

{Ed025's Note - hopefully not dan..

22 Apr 2024 21:12:00
We won't be so lucky next season so we better get our act together.

22 Apr 2024 21:08:56
Avoid defeat to Luton and should do for us imo.

22 Apr 2024 21:14:28
Agree mate, next season could define our future.

23 Apr 2024 15:11:00
Well Luton could beat us, so there's one win.

22 Apr 2024 20:40:48
Reading the mighty Liverpool have only won once in the last 6 visits to Goodison gives me hope COYB.

23 Apr 2024 06:18:59
Love it GB. You are the silver lining around this cloud we are under.

I’m not going to rush out and put my mortgage on a blue win nevertheless.

22 Apr 2024 09:48:20
Whilst I do feel for Forest, for Clattenburg - a man who has an entire merseyside derby named in his honour for such poor refereeing and then pretty much avoided us like the plague for years after - for him to be the one questioning a ref whose had a bad day seems a little rich. Wind your neck in pal springs to mind.

22 Apr 2024 17:47:53
I certainly don’t feel anything for Forest, how many bad decisions from VAR and bad reffing this season have we had, needs must mate.

{Ed025's Note - im happy for us of course GB but i cant help feeling sorry for Forest mate, its no fun to be on the receiving end of this corrupt Premier League and its cohorts at the PGMOL....as well we know..

22 Apr 2024 19:30:33
Very true Ed. It's the bigger picture for me.

For the good of the game a lot needs changing.

{Ed025's Note - it really does Mocker mate..

22 Apr 2024 20:42:32
VAR needs binning that’s for sure.

{Ed025's Note - amen to that GB..
