• out of that little lot, there's only been two seasons when relegation was not a concern. Marco's first season, when he lashed out loads after the loads spent by Koeman,. and Carlo's second season, when he lashed out further insane amounts on top of the spending of Koeman and Silva. ...

• Steve Sam Allardyce recruited cos of fears of relegation, and spent sixty million quid, Yes terrible season. Marco. Spent a fortune to finish mid table then sacked the following year cos we were starting to lose heavily.. Carlo, spent a fortune to finish mid table twice. Lampard the two seasons need no explanation. ditto Dyche. We may have finished higher than I recalled in Marco's first season, and in Carlo and. Sam's but in view of the money spent they were all pretty terrible. And none of them took over the bag of shit which was our squad last year, with two goals in ten games, and stuffed with free transfers after five years of no spending. Are you really saying the last ten years, was ok and on any sort of par with now? Wow, the depths you will plunge to remain locked in a permanent sulk. ...

• In my opinion TFG are running the club as a business, they want to invest in potential, earn returns on player investments in the longer term, whether that be with Everton or by sale elsewhere. We are therefore unlikely to see the return of an ageing injury prone John Stones or Richarlison in my view. Richarlison has a bit more hope value in that he is 29, a proven PL goalscorer at a time when they are scarce, would be welcomed by most fans I think, if a financially sound deal could be agreed. We would be unlikely to put a lot of money at risk with Richarlison. ...

• We’ve been terrible for a decade. 2015/16 - 11th 2016/17 - 7th 2017/18 - 8th 2018/19 - 8th 2019/20 - 12th 2020/21 - 10th 2021/22 - 16th 2022/23 - 17th 2023/24 - 15th (12th without the PSR points deduction) 2024/25 - 13th. So the average finishing postion is 12th, which is where we might finish this season. 2016-2021, the average finishing position was 9th. With the run of games coming up, we’ll all be happy with 9th at the end of the season given our home form. ...

• "So what I wrote is actually what you meant ?" Unfortunately not. it was another point which sailed high over your head. I wont labour it because last time I tried to explain something to you I lost the will to live. It took me a dozen posts to get you to understand Grealish signed until the end of the season and not on a 12 month contract Perhaps If I spoke the language of ill-informed stats ??? BTW: FYI Travers 4.5m Aznou 8.5m Alcaraz 15m Dewsbuy-Hall 28.5m Barry 30m Dibling 40m Grealish12.m Total 138.5m I was happy to inform you earlier in the thread that Grealish was a loan. Not a signing. Unfortunately the 12m + bonus's he signed for still counts as part of Moyes's net spend. Stats in the wrong hands can be annoying, but stats in the hands of somebody as numerically challenged as you can be comedy gold. ...
