Let's be sensible here now guys! Half the posts on here lately have been 'this is our year to go down', 'we're heading for the championship' etc. So if it has to be a sour pill to swallow and fat Sam Allardyce comes in and saves us! Then so be it! I'd rather have a guy come in and us lot not like him and save us than accept defeat and go to the championship. Let's look at the bigger picture here guys and be realistic. If he's what it takes to stop the rot and save our premier league status then sign the fat man up!

{Ed002's Note - I think the critical thing is expectations and managing them. Everton were never going to get in to the Champions League next season regardless of Moshiri. Moshiri is a businessman and not a football guy - his efforts should be on infrastructure and planning a managable way forward. Not on looking up coaches on Wikipedia and phoning round. When a club is in the position to restructure and get a boost up they need good advice. And remember the money coming in for PL clubs is very, very high. I explained much of this over the summer. I don't want to say it but I see this as a throw away year for Everton and the club just need to settle in to 12th and have a better plan going forward.}

Honestly, I just want us to play competitive football that is an entertaining 2 hour episode once or twice a week.

Mid-table results pushing to break into the top seven (like the Moyes era) must seeming like a delightful dream now.

Ed002,I don't suppose you're up for the job at Everton.

{Ed002's Note - I can't face the drop in money.}

I wholeheartedly agree with Ed02. Forget everything else this season such as breaking into the top 4 or 6 and cup runs and qualifying for Europe etc. Get solid, get safe and work on building a cohesive team for 2018/ 19. If Sam/ whoever can achieve that I'll be happy.

Ed002. Lot's of talk but surely this Allardyce thing is it now and he won't say no?

{Ed002's Note - The driver is the length of contract.}
