Does anyone one else think the delay with managerial appointment is linked to the abscence of a director of football appointment.
If you were going to work for a new company would you commit if your employers couldn't confirm who your direct boss was going to be?
Maybe Koeman wants this sorted before he signs up.

Rod according to echo the delay is due to excessive paperwork they have to go through I would expect that before Ronnie went away he would have known the candidates we had in mind to become director of football I know we have monchi in mind but think we would have more than one person in mind like with search for a manager you don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Good point RodBelfit.

Its gone past a joke now, its the longest running managerial appointment in our history I would imagine . we are looking very edgy again, caution and diligence went past us two or three weeks ago . and please don’t mention those two swear words again. paper work you’ve got to be joking!

So the way it stands if a non top six club wins the FA cup and we finish 6th and Man U 7th we don't get Europa but if we are 7th and Man U 6th we do get Europa?
Is that right? Weird or what.
{Ed002's Note - No, that is not correct. I am truly astonished that the Everton fans are unable to comprehend the simple rules.}}

Sorry can you explain why this is incorrect.
{Ed002's Note - The Europa places will go to 5th, Manchester United and the non top 6 FA Cup winning side.}
2.) 28 Feb 2017 22:39:20
Think it goes like this.
5th gets Europa plus the winners of f. a. cup and league cup.
If the winners of a cup finishes in top 5 then that place goes to next in league (I. e. 6th or 7th)
So this year 6th will get it if man Utd finish 5th or higher.
7th will get it if the f. a. cup winners finish 6th or higher.

I am fed up to keep reading about this issue to be honest. The rules as ed002 has stated are easy to understand.
The top four sides in the Premiership go into the Champions League next season. If the season ended today they would be Chelsea, Spurs, Manchester City and Arsenal.
The fifth team in the league plus the winners of the FA cup and the League cup would enter the Europa league next season. If the winners of both the FA cup or League Cup are ineligible by being in the Champions League or they are already in by being in the fifth spot in the league then the 6th and 7th places in the league would quality.
As it stands today Liverpool are in fifth spot and United have won the League Cup so they would be in. The winner of the upcoming FA cup would join them providing it was not one of the teams in the top five at the end of the season or Manchester United.
If Huddersfield go on to win the FA cup for example then the seventh spot does not get a Europa cup spot.
The only way the seventh team gets into Europe is if the FA cup is won by either the top four clubs who are in the Champions League or by the fifth placed team or by Manchester United providing United stay in the top seven spots.
If United drop to seventh place and either they or one of the top five clubs wins the FA cup then the sixth place team gets the FA cup Europa cup spot.
As ed002 has said if United drop to 8th place or lower and either they or one of the top four clubs wins the FA cup then United and the fifth and sixth placed teams would be in the Europa cup.
Hopefully I have got all this right otherwise ed002 will be after me.

Sounds a lot like what I said Mike.
I agree this issue does not need to be mentioned anymore. When we have played the 38 games then we can look at the table and plan a European excursion or not.
Whatever happens come 5pm on 21st may (which is very late btw) , I feel this season has been a massively positive step up from last season. All credit to Mr moshiri, to and his staff, all the players and the fans
Very excited for the next few years.
5.) 01 Mar 2017 07:45:17
Yes I agree Geoff, did not see your reply when I posted my comment. Lot of games left so anything can happen but regardless we are moving in the right direction.

I put a sarcastic comment on yesterday sort of taking the micky out of ourselves and questioning Ed002 but they didn't print it. Yes it is confusing, but come on lads get a grip. Ed002 has explained it a 1000 times now and every day I see another hypothetical question about if Norway starts selling bacon on bank holidays and if Mary Poppins jumps off the cliffs of Dover, does that mean 6th will play 8th for the etc. getting bored now. just like I am with people asking the same questions over and over again. and I don't even have to answer them. just for you Ed002.do you think they should simplify the Europa League qualification system so you don't have to repeatedly answer stupid questions? Over to you.
{Ed002's Note - I didn't see the post yesterday so one of the 'evil-minded' Eds would have deleted it. I would like to see the Fair Play League place re-introduced for Europa - or bring back the Inter Toto Cup.}
7.) 01 Mar 2017 12:52:30
Yeah right. if only for your sanity no doubt!
8.) 01 Mar 2017 12:58:44
Ed. Go the whole hog and bring back the anglo-Italian cup from early 90's, I think.
Always wanted to see Bristol rivers play juve stabia.
Wow.
9.) 01 Mar 2017 19:20:40
What about the Zenith Data Systems Cup for the teams that finish 14th and 15th?
20 Sep 2016 11:37:40
Highlights of all the cup games on channel 5 on wed about 10.30.

I don't know if it's just me but now the chase is over does anybody else feel life has no meaning anymore and it all feels a bit pointless.
1.) 14 Jun 2016 12:48:30
On the contrary Rod it's the start of a new day with fresh hope for me . . . Oh yeah WOO effin HOO :)
14 Jun 2016 09:38:01
Yabadabadoo!

so at last phil mitchell has arrived wonder if he brings grant with him.
02 Oct 2016 12:35:55
We could have in the answer under our nose once McCarthy is fit. Can see him providing the missing drive on right of midfield.
