Everton Rumours

13 Dec 2024 11:36:17
TFG Freidkin Group have just received Premier League approval. takeover now expected to be completed next week! ( Sky)

13 Dec 2024 14:23:47
Dyche sacked for Xmas?

13 Dec 2024 16:28:17
I heard 22nd will be the day TFG take over. A merry Christmas on the way.

13 Dec 2024 16:32:22
Anything’s possible with the Americans, big changes ahead for sure!

10 Dec 2024 07:42:24
Dan Ashworth in the frame to become our next. DOF, if Thewell is moved on according to reports this morning.

10 Dec 2024 08:22:05
Just think it's cheap reporting by the pressure yet again.

If true be strong possibility Southgate could be in frame as our next manager, strong rumblings that Ashworth was all for Southgate at Utd before Almorims arrival.

10 Dec 2024 09:47:12
the noise right now is that Kevin Thelwell will be kept on.

10 Dec 2024 10:55:38
Thelwell with the right manager/ coach will improve us.

Dyche unfortunately is unable to get the players to play any other style than his hoofball which is holding some of our players back.

Thelwell has recruited fairly well given the constraints on him and if you also look at the players he tried to sign for us but wasn’t given the backing to get those deals through (be that manager or money) he’s got an eye for talent - Kudus, Dumfries, L Diaz, Cunha to name a few who have ended up in the pre her league and doing well.

Thelwell isn’t the problem.

10 Dec 2024 13:21:09
Time will tell.

10 Dec 2024 15:00:41
Jury's still out on Thelwell though admittedly not the main issue.

The players you mention good were linked to us prior to Thelwell arrival and certainly on the radar, was actually Marcel Brands

Luis Diaz was lined up as Richys replacement if he went to PSG in summer of 2021.

Dumfries again he snubbed us that same summer after Brands was chasing him for more than 2 years after their time together at PSV.

Same with Kudus via the Dutch league and Brands who was aware of him in his time there.

Cunha was touted to us in January transfer window 2022, Thelwell didn't come till February.

As I say Thelwell not the key issue but certainly doesn't get credit even moreso when the calibre of the players you mention isn't his doing but actually Marcel Brands, who if left to do his job and got some backing (right man, wrong time) would have done a top job imo, don't forget it was him who got us Jarrad.

Dum.

10 Dec 2024 18:41:29
KT though not perfect (anyone name a club without any flops? ) has been a vast improvement on the talented but controlled Brands and far superior to that wally from Leicester who certainly is complicit in our horrors. With a clean slate and new owner direction, he'd be lower down the list of immediate priorities to be resolved. Much of his better work. has been the shipping out on loans of some of the problem players. Now the new ownership seems imminent, the so called opinion piece journalist (there aren't any decent football journalists left these days) on socials are going to start ramping up the nonsense. I for one take it as a sign that we are finally moving forward and take the gutter pieces as a compliment. The more nonsense rumours the healthier the club will be.

10 Dec 2024 20:21:51
The DoF is not all about recruitment. It's about creating an environment and culture for all levels of the football club to perform at the highest level.
You set strategy and plan for the future recruiting the right coaches and people to execute it.
If you think the DoF is out scouting an these players then you don't understand the role. There is a recruitment team who will do the scouting and analysing bringing forward recommendations.
In terms of our youth football setup, anyone who says that Thelwell has done a bad job is just not being fair to him.
Judging him on recruitment alone is not a fair measure of his success. It's a part but only that - a part.

10 Dec 2024 21:59:23
I think he’s faired well….

12 Dec 2024 09:43:12
Curious to hear what everyone's thoughts are on the January transfer window.

Firstly, in order, what do you see as the priority positions to sort out and with a sense of realism, who would you like to be bought in for those positions?

07 Dec 2024 08:45:19
Game off.

07 Dec 2024 10:08:57
Gives us an extra break to get Broja fit for the next game.

07 Dec 2024 10:53:49
Much rather get the match on under the lights after Christmas. You’d like to think the squad will be well rested now for the Christmas run.

07 Dec 2024 10:54:40
Bunch of girls! As for Broja, Dyche has declared him a work in progress, so you know where that one is going. As others have said the side looked well balanced against Wolves (apart from Decoures decline) but it won't be the same sude the master tactician puts out next time.

07 Dec 2024 11:09:17
Shame the game is off was looking forward to it, Broja looks like he will be quite useful, safety for everyone comes first in this weather.

07 Dec 2024 11:48:41
First an foremost hope every fan that travels today or person is safe and just another question if are game has been called off then why hasn't man uniteds vs forest at 5.30.

07 Dec 2024 12:10:39
Probably because we have an amber weather warning and Manchester hasnt.

07 Dec 2024 12:57:09
Who decides what warning color to use? Load of rubbish if you ask me.

07 Dec 2024 13:11:16
VAR are still checking the man united game.

07 Dec 2024 13:19:50
Liverpool is further west, you know, where the storm is like.

07 Dec 2024 13:33:05
You never know but by the time it is rearranged, we might have a manager who can get us playing football again….

07 Dec 2024 13:33:23
Skylark is probably walking his dog on Crosby beach in speedos or looking for the biggest tree to walk under.

07 Dec 2024 14:10:18
I feel sorry for the kid who saved up and flew into Liverpool for the game. all the way from Australia.

07 Dec 2024 14:29:17
I've actually just walked my dogs and it's not that bad reg 👀.

07 Dec 2024 19:13:03
Nice one as usual from Seamus inviting the lad from Australia to Finch Farm on Monday.

05 Dec 2024 11:59:26
Derby could be called off. Danger to life weather warning for high wind Saturday.

05 Dec 2024 15:23:04
Hope not. I was really thinking after last night we might put up a good show.

05 Dec 2024 16:24:25
Course we will Nick, done it before mate 1 point minimum but 3 possible mate.

05 Dec 2024 17:59:58
Best time to play them they’re starting to get tired after all the midweek games and they don’t like 12.30s.

05 Dec 2024 18:52:21
Just been sent a video of the new ground flooding. Is this for real?

05 Dec 2024 20:00:17
Well tell Dyche to keep his gob shut.

05 Dec 2024 20:41:47
Yeah was watching that, you don’t get much for your £800 million these days eh.

05 Dec 2024 21:48:25
Unless it’s underwater, think it will be fine.

05 Dec 2024 22:44:57
By my reckoning, the stadiums not finished yet. If it leaks when completed then that’s the time to worry!

06 Dec 2024 12:50:18
But like our defence. Not finished yet and leaks 😂.

30 Nov 2024 13:43:04
Sergio Conceicao now number 1 choice to be installed as new Everton manager according to many outlets. he is Freidkins choice once the takeover goes through, talks remain ongoing as the new manager seeks assurances about transfer money being available to him before taking the job! Hope this is true, his CV is very impressive albeit in Portugal.

30 Nov 2024 14:06:42
One thing i like about him is that when he took over Porto, they had not won the league for 4 seasons, which for them is long time. That shows he came in when things weren't great and turned it around, which is exactly what we need and quick.

30 Nov 2024 21:35:52
Quality manager first one to get me excited. Would still deem. it unlikely.

01 Dec 2024 15:23:36
Upset a few here, but not the time for a fancy foreigner manager, besides the squad ain’t good enough - not even Pep would get a tune out of this lot.

Back to basics. Get Moyes in. Will steady the ship. Then look for the fancy managers in time.

Regardless MASSIVE game now Wed - we need the 3 points. Just hope Goodison isn’t a library, it’s got to rock under the lights for us to have any chance. COYB.

01 Dec 2024 15:32:45
So just keep making the same mistakes again. Get someone in who keeps us up, then watch us struggle again the next season. Need to get away from this conveyor belt of mediocre managers.

01 Dec 2024 18:19:18
Agree Brass. We shouldn’t be looking for a manager to just keep us up - we need a manager who will improve us going forward. Moyes isn’t the answer. He would be a hugely unpopular choice amongst a large portion of our fanbase and wouldn’t take long for things to become toxic toward him. Would be a huge mistake. The usual slate of mediocre, firefighter managers should not be anyway near the list of potential future bosses.

01 Dec 2024 22:30:35
It should even be that complicated. Evidence of getting results, evidence of playing a decent style of footie and developing players. Done. Everyone would get behind that.

I don't personally mind moyes but, what's the point if half the fan base hates him.

Just some clubs including ours just seem to excell in picking incompetent people. Foreign or not is irrelevant, quality is all that matters.

03 Dec 2024 13:00:02
Short memories a lot of you have, new you manager coming up with bright new ideas, didn't we do this already , problem with new manager coming up they need a half decent team to apply there new attacking football, Moyes on the other hand could make a average player play well in a team, pluck good players from lower leagues, keep us in the top 10 nearly every season, but because I will say most, are septic, can't getover he chose man United and tried to buy our player, oh dear God, he wasnt the first and he won't be again, Moyes till the end of the season, then see how it goes from there, no fancy Dan is getting anything but the sack if they join Everton now, we are as bad as any team in the top league, we need a manager who knows the league and Moyes does.

03 Dec 2024 17:04:49
I think most on here have admitted we got big headed and demanded Silvas head far to impatiently because we thought we had an open cheque book and wanted to get to the CL now now now. Think the fan base will be a little more like the Fonze this time.

03 Dec 2024 17:21:30
Never works going back. Even Howard Kendall our best manager struggled.
Will have new owners, new ground and new manager.

27 Nov 2024 16:02:42
So now reading there is a short list of 3 to take over from Dyche, top of the list Sergio Conceicao, and then Edin Tercic and also Graham Potter, would take any of those three any day over what we have at the mo.

27 Nov 2024 18:26:26
My choice number 2-1-3.

27 Nov 2024 18:52:58
Conceicao would be agood appointment.

27 Nov 2024 19:16:28
Conceicao seems a bit hotheaded and would probably fall out with Freidkins. Reading Tercics profile he seems a better option as he's operated in a stronger league. But what will be will be. Three new names tomorrow lol.

27 Nov 2024 19:31:39
Probably back to Moyes tomorrow mate, hope Leicester get him.

27 Nov 2024 20:59:40
All three are better options on paper at least. The bar is now that low that I’d take just about anyone else that the clueless one.

28 Nov 2024 08:47:35
ET missed out on Bundesliga to Bayern on good and got Dortmund to a CL final but lost to Los Blancos.

I will pass, think Dyche is a better fit.

28 Nov 2024 09:52:00
It's not April 1st yet BN 😁.

30 Nov 2024 09:25:10
All 3 are not better options than Moyes. It's this let's start running before healing legs attitude by supporters and sheer board incompetence that has us in this mess. The takeover group will have done most of their dilligence, I will wait for them.

02 Dec 2024 17:24:55
Moyes ha ha ha good one.

25 Nov 2024 13:52:58
Just read that Freidkin is lining up Moyes if he sacks Dyche! Please tell me it's not true. Please!

25 Nov 2024 15:56:15
Hope Leicester are lucky enough to get him mate they deserve each other.

25 Nov 2024 16:11:08
Don't get me wrong, I was one of the crowd who wanted Moyes out at the time he got linked to United. Treading water. Knife to a gunfight etc etc.

That being said. I would take Moyes over this absolute turnip any day of the week. I haven't disliked a manager more than I do Dyche.

- Whilst in the job, he would at least respect the club and the fans and not make distasteful, arrogant, sarcastic comments.
- We would win at Goodison.
- Players would show effort and commitment to the shirt.
- Slowly fight for European tours again.
- Avoid the Championship, which is where we are heading.

25 Nov 2024 17:14:10
Moyes now in his 60s need to move away from getting old men in to run the team. Need younger manager with fresh ideas.

{Ed025's Note - im with you NFM..

25 Nov 2024 18:03:01
Respect the club! Like he did when he left! Let his contract run down, tried buying players he valued cheap. I have no respect for him at all!

25 Nov 2024 18:56:51
Nor me mate.

25 Nov 2024 20:20:22
No idea why anyone is worried about this. It's a rumour that is being recirculated by everyone. I could see Moyes being wanted until the end of the season, let's face it anyone is better than SD, but can't see Moyes agreeing to a short term appointment and can't see that the new owners would want to sign Moyes to a multi-year deal.

25 Nov 2024 20:37:49
I’d take Moyes as caretaker until Summer. We need wins and I don’t see them under Dyche.

26 Nov 2024 08:26:55
As I say, I wanted the man out long before he left and I don't want him now but would I prefer him as our manager over Dyche. Absolutely 100%.

Nick, i made a point of stating "Whilst in the job" because of what happened with Felli and Baines. Man Utd were the biggest job in the world at the time, so I don't blame him for wanting to go. Could he have acted with more class around Felli and Baines, of course but he was acting in the best interests of his new team. If the shoe was on the other foot, no one would have an issue with it. It is just business.

He has only spoken well of Everton football club and the fans over the years.

He absolutely isn't the answer and who I want as manager but my point was only that I would take him over Dyche in any situation.

26 Nov 2024 08:51:38
The opinion pieces have been rerolling this story in any form possible. Considering it's all been quiet since Freidkin GRP came back to the party, it's a very very slow time for Everton rumours. The only truth spoken for 3 months is that we now have grass sprouting at the dock. Yawn.

26 Nov 2024 10:42:03
I get your point BlueNose. Hopefully this saga will end where all will be happy with the outcome.

26 Nov 2024 15:45:35
Hopefully mate and sooner rather than later. I think we have all suffered enough.

27 Nov 2024 14:01:31
Don't buy into the Moyes hate, but also agree he's nowhere near the long-term answer.
To be fair to him tho, he took us and the bubble-blowers to Europe and is more exciting than SD. and most of our other recent managers.
100 other names linked though so not putting money on it.

28 Nov 2024 09:54:11
Moyes might be 60 ish which at 62 myself don’t see your point it’s not like he’ll be putting his boots on, however would you take Don Carlo back someone else in his 60’s . It’s about ability to mould a team . I’m curious to see how SD gets on when we have more of our squad back . Interesting times ahead.

23 Nov 2024 19:43:56
Just been reading that Jordan was screaming at Dyche to make a change in the second half of this game using some juicy expletives, if this is true looks like he is starting to lose the players, hopefully this was Dyche s last game, really hope so.

23 Nov 2024 21:56:43
He's certainly lost the fans.

23 Nov 2024 22:00:09
Pickford for manager 👀.

23 Nov 2024 23:34:53
A reminder, as if any of us needed one, that he is completely inept, and lacks any courage or passion for winning games. Takes zero risks and reaps zero reward.

24 Nov 2024 11:03:58
It's obvious to me Nick that he has lost the dressing room too mate, tick-tock. . .

24 Nov 2024 11:45:18
Nothing will happen until the takeover is completed. We just have to hope that we don’t lose many games between now and probably January when hopefully Mauricio Sarri will come to the club.

24 Nov 2024 13:04:47
Sarri is not the answer.

24 Nov 2024 13:40:35
Mystic DFS. What are Wednesdays lottery numbers?

24 Nov 2024 13:40:42
OK so who is?

24 Nov 2024 14:12:41
Sarri, Moyes neither famed for open expansive footy but both way more astute than this donkey. Nobody is going to be welcomed by all us fans. Whoever we get will be under pressure from a ownership that demands results. Get used to a revolving door. I see no problem with either getting the gig. They either over perform and keep the job or they don't. Can't be any worse.

25 Nov 2024 08:58:24
How is it obvious he has lost the dressing room? Certainly some but not all of the fans but I can't see any indication he has lost the dressing room other than gossip.

25 Nov 2024 11:09:14
Sa90 I posted obvious to ''me''
Do they (players) look like they hang on to his every word?
How many fans do you that is ''you'' know for a fact still have faith in him?
If you enjoy his style, then that's you. . . but don't try and tell me that you are in a massive majority because you are not!

26 Nov 2024 16:17:46
Well if I was an Everton first team player the first thing I would be worried about is keeping my job and my huge salary and that would be Rule 1. Consequently at the moment I would have to do whatever SD wants me to do, I might not like it but remember Rule 1! If SD is fired and a new Manager is installed I would have to change my game to the new man's tactics, according to Rule 1!

23 Nov 2024 19:08:38
Samuel Chukwueze - reported we are interested - 1 goal in 11 this season do he shouldn't take any time to settle in with the rest of our forwards.

23 Nov 2024 19:44:24
Watford number 8 would be perfect for us. Not sure on the name but Georgian.

23 Nov 2024 16:55:17
Sack him for Christ sake.

23 Nov 2024 17:27:49
Who will sack him?

23 Nov 2024 17:58:26
I will do it!

23 Nov 2024 18:12:35
I think if we all boycott the game like me they won't have much choice.

23 Nov 2024 18:25:29
Agree skylark i won't be going and i can't watch us till he gets sacked breaks my heart seeing this club in decline i have said for last 4 years including this season we will get relegated with this clown in charge.

23 Nov 2024 19:18:58
If you are season ticket holders then the only ones you will hurt are yourselves as they already have your money. Voicing your opinions in the game might well get the message over. Oh and a banner saying "No Moyes" as well 😁.

{Ed025's Note - i will sign that banner Nick..

23 Nov 2024 20:49:57
Get thee behind me 😁.

21 Nov 2024 10:39:23
Brian Bobby from Ajax for £42 million a replacement for DCL, rumour this morning hmmmm.

21 Nov 2024 14:32:16
I’d take anybobby over DCL at the moment!

21 Nov 2024 16:39:56
Hopefully Broja is fit this weekend.

21 Nov 2024 16:46:57
Not for 42m. Won't happen at that price.

21 Nov 2024 19:32:32
Broja playing under 21 match on Monday i read so won't be playing against brentford sorry GB.

21 Nov 2024 20:18:23
Cheers RON MAC I’ve lost all confidence in DCLhope we find a decent striker in the January window mate.

21 Nov 2024 23:51:58
Zero in ten this season in the Dutch league. No ta.

22 Nov 2024 02:18:40
Would be nice but realistically who would we all want? And that would want to come to us. DCL has had his headturned and is going I reckon Beto is on his way back to Italy either permanently or more likely on loan which leaves us broja and chermiti who aren't fit. there must be a Saha Rideout or Campbell out there that we can get in January to score the goals 👍👍👍.

22 Nov 2024 20:55:40
If DCL has had his head turned then you'd expect him to be busting a gut every game. I know he's leading the line on his own but I don't think he's giving it 100%. I think he's fed up with dyches tactics.

23 Nov 2024 07:40:35
I think everyone is fed up with this dinosaurs tactics. He served his purpose and best he leaves because it's getting toxic now what with he comes out with week after week.
