Don't know if it's true but a friend of mine has just told me that some fans are thinking of bringing moyes out banners to the next game. , I hope it's just a wind up, it's the last thing we need.
{Ed025's Note - it really is you know Skylark, the decision has been made and thats the end of it, the last thing we need is this crap unsettling the manager and players mate..
1.) 12 Jan 2025 00:14:08
Then they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the ground.
2.) 12 Jan 2025 07:57:00
Hope they see sense, Everton need everyone behind them at his time, get behind the Team and manager.
3.) 12 Jan 2025 08:36:17
It’s done now so let’s get over it and so some support.
4.) 12 Jan 2025 09:29:28
That’s terribly sad news Skylark. We really need a loud and united Goodison on Weds night.
5.) 12 Jan 2025 10:10:08
Clearly some people think we can just get any manager to get us out of this mess. I feel safer with Moyes in charge than some untried manager new to the Premier and relegation battle. I think it's a different skill to battle at the bottom than it is at the top. So I'm feeling more confident now than I was last week. These idiots and their banners should be grateful he's taken the job!
6.) 12 Jan 2025 10:22:19
Embarrassing.
7.) 12 Jan 2025 11:21:42
As much as I don't want Moyes or happy he is here. We don't need that and your right big reg, very embarrassing, a lot not happy though but is what it is and hopefully a few wins and couple of new signings may go some way to sweeten the sourness.
23 Nov 2024 16:55:17
Sack him for Christ sake.
1.) 23 Nov 2024 17:27:49
Who will sack him?
2.) 23 Nov 2024 17:58:26
I will do it!
3.) 23 Nov 2024 18:12:35
I think if we all boycott the game like me they won't have much choice.
4.) 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.
5.) 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..
6.) 23 Nov 2024 20:49:57
Get thee behind me ?.
22 Oct 2024 17:58:18
Been reading some bad things about Friedkin some saying we are in for a bad time and it's not all going to as rosey as some think. Can any of the eds shed some light.
{Ed002's Note - It is going to be different. They will put a leadership in place and largely step back.}
1.) 22 Oct 2024 22:43:50
If it is good Leadership/ Trusted delegation then that's a good thing.
2.) 23 Oct 2024 08:59:23
If, is a very very big word.
3.) 23 Oct 2024 10:58:28
Why would anybody make a considerable outlay from their own money and set out with the intention of not wanting their investment to be successful?
Let us judge him once he is in and had some time to put his plans in place, rather than already parroting negative hearsay.
He will be hard pushed to be worse than Moshiri.
{Ed025's Note - im with you BN..
4.) 23 Oct 2024 11:36:49
Agree BlueNose time will tell.
5.) 23 Oct 2024 12:24:15
Agreed BlueNose. I swear some people on here love to believe the worst in everything that we do.
6.) 23 Oct 2024 12:29:23
I raised the same point some weeks ago. The Roma fans are certainly up in arms. Probably a lot of fog coming out of Italy. Surely we aren't jumping from the pot to the pan, are we gulp? Can anything be worse than the Moshiri era? I look forward to the new era.
{Ed025's Note - i think 777 may have been worse Nick, we dodged a bullet there mate and we just have to hope TFG are the right fit, whoever we get has to be an upgrade on Mohiri i would think..
7.) 23 Oct 2024 12:30:53
Fingers crossed lads.
I am personally optimistic. My confidence stems from not only his successful business decisions but also his personal accolades. Seems like an intelligent bloke to me. I imagine he will be aware of his limitations and not be afraid to consult and delegate with/ to industry professionals, as opposed to the illogical approach Moshiri had.
8.) 23 Oct 2024 13:00:16
I wasn't having a go, I was just saying what I've read, I just hope we all aren't being led false hopes,
9.) 23 Oct 2024 13:13:58
Unfortunately, we won't know until they rock up and take over the club, skylark. We've just got to hope that they are considerably better than what we've endured the last 8 years or so. Everything in life comes with a certain risk but I think we should all hold our tongues until they give us something to moan about! The day FM leaves is going to be a good day for the club, the start of a new era. Hopefully it is a successful era and better times are in touching distance.
10.) 23 Oct 2024 14:03:00
You’d hope they’d run us more like a business than moshiri has.
They’ve done relatively ok with Roma - since takeover 3 6th placed finishes and won the Europa Conference league which was their first silverware in quite a while.
However they had finished in the top 3 a few seasons before the takeover.
I think some of the complaints from Roma fans is the sacking of club legend De Rossi - however he had a winless start to the season and the club were 16th when he was sacked - surely an owner who makes decisions based on football results rather than sentiment is what we’ve wanted for a long time.
Not sure why anyone is worrying about the takeover though as there’s nothing we as fans can do other than get behind the team and support them.
Fingers crossed we’re finally moving in the right direction.
11.) 23 Oct 2024 14:33:04
Yes Ginger the league positions are impressive. I would be delighted if we can emulate same. Upwards and onwards. COYB.
12.) 23 Oct 2024 15:04:06
Good times ahead I’m sure.
13.) 23 Oct 2024 15:46:08
The guy isn’t through the door yet, just support the team and hope his first move is to bin Dyche and get us playing football again. That would be a start.
14.) 23 Oct 2024 18:24:17
Hallelujah to that ?.
15.) 23 Oct 2024 21:14:20
As long as we start paying players what they are worth and we aren’t hamstrung by PSR due to the way we are financed, it will be a vast improvement.
Get in some people who know how to actually run a club and it would be ideal.
Finally deliver some football that has us challenging in matches and competitions and it would be exactly what we want.
This is Everton though. We will likely lose our best assets and end up in administration and striped for parts….
16.) 23 Oct 2024 23:03:29
The only hope is that we avoid ridiculously inept management of this club and a sensible transfer policy with an eye on re-establishing our status as a solid EPL side. I don't think we can compare the gripes that Roma fans have. They are after all a relatively successful club that is used to contesting at the higher end of their championship and domestic and Euro cups. We are a disaster on fire and sinking into obscurity. If they can clear the debt, give us a moderate transfer kitty and steady the ship for the next 5 years, that's a massive success. They'll then be into phase 2 of the restructure and they either sell us on for a healthy profit or they then have a relatively good foundation to push us on to where us fan demand to be.
Not being tipped by a super computer to be relegated and or to be fighting for survival to the wire would be a massive improvement. Oh and no more shady mismanagement resulting in legal cases and point deductions would also be refreshing. If they get us in the top 10 year after year then we would be attractive to further investment or someone with more ambitions would be sniffing about to either launch a buyout or invest. This stadium is going to be FMs greatest achievement and in the coming 10 years will be beyond comprehension how it's going to change our future. We may even forgive the era and thank him for what he did? Ok too soon but the money will start to roll and do to the better times. Sadly as a man in his late 40s I can't see how we ever win the title (ever again) but it'd be nice to watch us in the CL before I'm in my late 60s and maybe finally win that league cup? Its not that much to ask is it?
17.) 24 Oct 2024 07:47:51
the thing with the Roma discontent, is that it's only very recent
& that's because they sacked club legend De Rossi very early this season, rightly or wrongly
before that they were regarded as one of the most liked ownerships in Italy, but since as you can see it's gone wrong
for us though i think it's still quite positive, shows a ruthlessness we maybe haven't had even towards club icons.
{Ed001's Note - that's not true, they hired Mourinho to quell discontent among the fans and the sacking of him caused it to rise up again. De Rossi just added to it mate.}
18.) 24 Oct 2024 15:10:09
What do you think of them Ed01? Liverpool have had some good times under American ownership….
{Ed001's Note - I don't know much about them to be honest. Only that Roma fans were annoyed with them, but they are scum who think stabbing people from behind is a good way to greet visiting away fans, so them not liking Friedkin makes me more inclined to like him!}
19.) 25 Oct 2024 17:29:25
It will be a stepping stone for both parties. Everton will improve under them and will become a more prospective buying option. The Friedkins will move on and it might just get us into the thinking for the new super league which is inevitable.
20.) 25 Oct 2024 23:16:55
Some funny stuff. There’s nothing to report but they still have to and they’re trying negative angles. It’s not like we’re being passed from one paedo uncle to another, this uncle hopefully has some morals.
04 Apr 2024 21:15:04
So rumors have it some players are turning on SD, they won't name names but the rebellion is starting, apparently it's been over heard.
1.) 04 Apr 2024 22:03:01
Probably by Doris the tea lady Skylark ?. However, I can imagine it as players start fighting for their EPL futures.
2.) 05 Apr 2024 00:48:01
I'm turning on him also Skylark.
3.) 05 Apr 2024 10:09:54
I think most of us are at the moment let’s hope a win against Burnley can start to change things.
4.) 05 Apr 2024 10:12:41
Everyone loves a rumour.
Mark my words, it will be the players with stiff necks.
31 Mar 2024 18:22:20
Ed who is in charge at the club at the moment?, who would have the final say on SD as this run he is on surly cannot carry on.
{Ed002's Note - Farhad Moshiri remains in charge until, hopefully he can get the takeover done with 777 Partners.
1.) 31 Mar 2024 21:52:18
Thanks ed.
2.) 01 Apr 2024 00:46:13
Out of interest ed002. I doubt it would happen as there is always someone who will buy a football club. But, in the event 777 fell through, and FM could not get a buyer, he would be stuck with us. What would his options be and, where would it leave us?
{Ed002's Note - Moshiri would need to obtain funding to keep the club running - there are loans secured against Goodison Park, there is money owed to MSP, Metro Bank and of course the money loaned by 777 Partners to pay wages etc..}
3.) 01 Apr 2024 12:41:02
To put it bluntly we are in an absolute mess. Moshiri seems to have disappeared when it matters . Are 777 the answer? Not for me when you look at the other clubs they own . They are not happy. Are they hanging on in the hope that they get the club at a reduced cost?
Probably! Since Usmanov has gone it has turned into a s$%t show.
4.) 01 Apr 2024 12:53:18
They've already bought half of it.

What a lovely horrible day.
{Ed025's Note - a great day with the sun shining down on us, a little bit sad but it will be a celebration rather than a wake Skylark..
17 May 2025 21:41:19
People getting all angry with the name of the new stadium, you only have to look at the names of most stadiums world wide and nearly all are nothing special, look at anfield, old Trafford, two of the biggest teams in the UK and the names are nothing special, it's just that we get used to hearing and saying the names. I mean if you had a stadium would you call it anfield or old Trafford? They are not not exactly exciting names
I don't really care what they call it, we got a very good deal and in time the fans will have there own name for it as it will probably change name again in ten years, it's just the way football is run now. But it will be our stadium and the fans will find a name.
{Ed025's Note - it will always be BMD to me Skylark..
1.) 17 May 2025 22:14:19
I'm with you on that skylark, a lot of fuss over nothing really. As ed says, most of us will be calling it BMD anyway so I'm happy to take the cash for the next 10 years until the contract expires. As others have eluded to on these pages, most of us say we're going the match rather than name the stadium anyway mate.
2.) 17 May 2025 22:47:39
I just call it the everton paradise arena works for me.
3.) 17 May 2025 23:56:37
Goodison 2.
4.) 18 May 2025 07:18:33
I think for me it dosent matter it will allways be BMD. To sum up the luck of relevance to the official name i would like to think my football knowledge is reasonable it was only when looking at similar namin right deals that i found Barcelona had renamed the camp nou back in 2001 to spotify camp nou i had no clue ita allways been camp nou so I don't think the sponsor is that big to the average football fan it has to be about the best deal and isn't worth getting would up by something that is totally insignificant.
5.) 18 May 2025 16:33:12
The ''Dixie'' is my favourite atm.
03 May 2025 16:54:57
Anyone who thinks the Moyes appointment was the right move, give your heads a wobble, one of the worst decisions th club has ever made bringing him back.
1.) 03 May 2025 17:36:32
??????????.
2.) 03 May 2025 17:47:15
I will give it a little wobble as I think it was the right decision short term. Not sure who could get a tune out of that team as we have a number of players not good enough to be competitive in the prem.
In my opinion, bringing in a manager who plays the attractive football we all want to see, needs to have the right tools to do the job.
3.) 03 May 2025 17:59:25
It's been a lot better than the last one skylark, we were only heading in one direction under dyche. I think it's the right appointment and there will be no head wobbling from my end.
There's a frailty with some of this squad, luckily a lot of them won't be here after the next few games. I'll judge the manager once he gets to bring in his own players and removes the soft underbelly of this current crop.
I get you don't like DM but even you have got to admit the future is more exciting than it's been in a long time. It's always been about getting through this season and starting the next in a new stadium, in the premier league. We are almost there mate.
4.) 03 May 2025 18:30:23
Think we’ve made worse decisions than that.
Dyche would have lost that 0-2.
5.) 03 May 2025 19:11:14
Go to bed big reg.
6.) 03 May 2025 20:52:20
Sky nark more like.
7.) 04 May 2025 13:09:31
Give Moyes a seating the boardroom, he can then dispense his " wisdom" to whoever is having trouble with insomnia, and let a really dinamic manager get on with the job.
PS, for god's sake do it before he signs Harrison.
27 Apr 2025 09:19:35
Why do some on here bang on about DM having an eye for great players and finding a bargain, I thought he was a manager and not a scout, the likes of Coleman was was introduced to him by Willie McStay, moyes didn't actually go out and find him, wish people would stop saying let's see who Moyes brings in, Moyes doesn't do the buying and never has, h.
1.) 27 Apr 2025 13:02:06
Have an holiday son.
2.) 27 Apr 2025 14:25:07
You too son.
3.) 28 Apr 2025 07:47:28
But who sent them to watch him, who gives the ok let's sign him, probably Moyes.
4.) 28 Apr 2025 11:53:20
That’s the same as pretty much every premier league manager. Every team has their own scouts. The manager gets the final say.
5.) 28 Apr 2025 15:13:00
We've had nearly 10 years of recruitment that, by and large, has been as underwhelming as much as it has been costly. Mainly because we had too many people wanting different players, each with differing ideas. It hasn't really worked out too well for us on the whole. DM is old school in the sense that he served his early managerial years watching numerous games per week, casting his eye on hundreds of players. That did work out quite well for us at that time.
Obviously, the game has changed considerably and so has the way clubs recruit. Instead of a manager, his assistant and scouting network, we now have analysts, DoF etc that cover the majority of the recruitment process. For me, the manager still has to have final say on a player being bought as it's them that have to integrate them into their team and system. In the past, despite having some strong characters as manager, there has been an obvious disconnect when it comes to transfers. I heard that DM took the job under the condition that he had a lot of say in who comes and goes. I'm happy with that as, although he hasn't got it right every time, he has a good track record in the transfer market. He also knows what type of character fits in with the ethos of this club, more so than the likes of Rafa for example.
We know you don't like him, you haven't wanted any manager that we've had since I've been on these pages which begs the question, who would be your ideal man to lead us into a new stadium and a new era?
6.) 28 Apr 2025 16:03:27
Your correct bluepotato I haven't wanted any of the appointments that we have made since DM left the appointments have been shocking, I wish I had the answer to who we should have asked but I haven't and maybe it wouldn't have mattered who we had as manager as the owner would still have messed it up . we are now in a better place with our new owners and I just think the appointment of DM is just a backward step but thanks for the grownup reply mate unlike some .
7.) 28 Apr 2025 18:51:05
It's not been too bad so far, skylark, especially when we think of how we started this season. There will be enforced changes for next season with 13 players out of contract so I suppose that will bring more challenges for the club to overcome. Integrating almost half a squad in one go could be quite tough, players needing to get used to each other etc, we seen that with Forest the other year when they brought in practically an entire new squad. I think, for that reason, DM could be the right man for the next few seasons but not so much long term. He's a very disciplined and organised manager and I think that's exactly what we need right now with all these changes.
I didn't want Moyes a few years ago but, after the likes of Rafa, Lampard and Dyche, the club wore me down and I was happy that it was a safe pair of hands to steady the ship. It's never easy for a manager going back to an old haunting ground, most don't work out for one reason or another, but he's had a good start with the players that the previous manager couldn't get a tune out of. Just hope it continues mate as going the game is no longer a chore as it was the first few months.
8.) 28 Apr 2025 19:31:19
100% agree with everything you say. But two years tops for me then hope he moves on,
9.) 28 Apr 2025 20:40:52
Can I have a holiday to?
10.) 28 Apr 2025 20:55:38
Think he will get 3 minimum mate, obviously results and a sense of progression will play a part in him staying or going. Time will tell mate eh.
19 Apr 2025 16:56:12
Whatever you say don't say anything bad about DM.
{Ed025's Note - hes done well Skylark, but the honeymoon period is nearly over now and we will see what he has to offer when he gets new players in, i have to be honest im still on the fence mate..
1.) 19 Apr 2025 17:09:15
I agree, but I just get the feeling that he thinks he walks on water at our club.
2.) 19 Apr 2025 17:12:11
I didn't want Moyes back but applaud the fact he has got us safe with lots of games still to play. But how excited is Skylark at us getting beat. Couldn't wait to have a pop. Unbelievable.
3.) 19 Apr 2025 17:14:27
Does divorce not come after honeymoon? It did for me.
{Ed025's Note - not always Nick..

Yeah sorry to hear that, Hope all goes well mate have missed your posts.
8.) 19 Apr 2025 20:07:18
Give him a summer transfer window before we start throwing shade at him, he’s worked miracles with the crap we’ve got if dyche was still here we’d be below Southampton.
9.) 20 Apr 2025 00:35:50
I suppose it's fair to hold your own views as I did from day 1 with SD. Seems a little harsh to me though and I'm not sure what more he can do to please but like I said, if you hate him consistently from day 1, well 1 day when he gets sacked you'd be proven right. I enjoyed SDs demise but he isn't a patch on DM. I obviously wished SD to prove me wrong but seems like DM has to win the league and even then you'll be in his case.
10.) 20 Apr 2025 11:20:14
Easy to say now, but think if Moyes had moved O’Nrien into the centre and left Keane on the bench, then we might have still got a result. It’s little things like this that will give the anti Moyes brigade fuel for the fire.
11.) 20 Apr 2025 12:53:17
Firstly, welcome back nick. Sorry to hear about your loss and I hope your scan is clear mate ??
BMD, totally agree with you mate, think that substitute was one of the few mistakes DM has made since coming back to us. Hopefully be one of his last as we ship out players such as JH and MK and recruit better players in the next window.
Skylark trolling again ? only being able to have a pop when we lose must have been killing you since he came back! I think we can all agree that we have looked a lot better under this regime than we have in years, and with much the same squad. I think your head is going to burst if we recruit well. and have a decent team in our new ground. Just roll with it and enjoy the fact that we aren't looking over our shoulder at this stage of the season for once.
26 Apr 2025 17:58:03
Get used to it, I wouldn't expect much to change next season under DM.
22 Jan 2025 08:02:37
Panic buying days are over I think.
10 Jan 2025 20:36:36
I get the moyes appointment but two years for me if true is to long I would like 6 months but what I don't like is talk of Rooney and or Ferguson, with us being half way through a season and we need to stay in the premier I totally understand why the club would appoint moyes, he is out of work he is cheap and he is the best of a bad bunch that would come in sort term, there you have it potato.
10 Jan 2025 17:17:07
If he Comes I go, moyes is bad enough, could probably put up with him for 6 months but if Rooney is here with him as well that will be it for me.
10 Jan 2025 16:16:02
Rooney is an idiot.
{Ed025's Note - hear hear..
20 May 2025 10:52:24
He has more bad games than good, time to move on.
19 May 2025 21:10:06
It was very special mate, us blues are very unique.
{Ed025's Note - we are Skylark and i would just like to thank John for that really wonderful emotive post he sent there..
18 May 2025 16:41:35
Lineker turning up was the only downside of a wonderful day, who invited that plonker.
17 May 2025 20:00:06
Not sure now it's staying for woman's football, it's a bit like splitting up with the wife without a divorce and moving in with a new girl.
17 May 2025 19:56:39
How did the keeper get away with not being sent off.! , VAR terrible again
But well done palace, played well.
