• Great stat John.rnrnOK, I think this will be my last post on TW for some considerable time as I\'m just a broken record, and a broken football fan. What\'s the point in posting, I can\'t influence anything and it\'s just not enjoyable anymore. rnrnI have been advocating a move for Glasner all season. He\'s won 3 trophies in 12 months, more than Moyes entire career.rnrnIn his time at Palace he has beaten Liverpool 4 times I think and never lost I also think. Moyes? Meh.rnrnMost importantly, he knows football is about winning things, not simply existing. He can\'t win the league with Palace, but he can certainly give the fans something else to have a party over.rnrnAnyway, I\'ll be back when Moyes has gone, but for now I wish every blue all the best and a relaxing summer. ...

• Martin @4, rnrnNice rant... heavy on invective... but a little light on facts, sadly.rnrnA shit academy that\'s been relegated to the lowest tier of the academy league. rnrnOh dear... such a bizarrely false statement renders the rest of your post moot.rnrnFirstly, in general terms, Everton\'s Academy is a Category 1, so the highest tier, not the lowest tier of the Professional Development League under Engish football\'s Elite Player Performance Plan.rnrnThe Academy has multiple teams: rnrnEverton U18s finished 4th out of 14 in the U18 Premier League (North) . Not too shabby.rnrnEverton U21s finished a less creditable 18th in the composite ...

• John (54) that strikes me as the sort of stat which gets thrown out on the internet all the time. Impressive-sounding but vague in detail (the \'92 clubs\' for example are not static), and virtually incapable of proof. Does \'involved in promotion\' mean actually achieving it (which is at least measurable) or just being part of the group coming close but not getting over the line? If the latter, since you can\'t get promoted from the Premiership then you have to use a proxy eg finishing in the top 4.rnrnThe general point - that we are pathetic non-achievers - is beyond dispute. But that sort of \'statistic\' adds nothing to the discussion....
  Brian Denton in Uefa Conference League Final
• I agree that our club has been stabilised financially and is in a much sounder place than the cliff edge basket case of recent years. TFG are due credit for this although due to Moshiri’s naivety and global circumstances they did pick up Everton FC on the cheap. Their way, of non communication with shareholders and customer base, is their style of management. I find it discourteous personally but that’s their choice. Stability was needed but it doesn’t have to be our go to objective for the rest of our days. Following stability should come transformation and that’s where we should be heading now. It may not be instant, but it can be relatively quick ( ask Aston Villa, Sunderland, the list goes on). To transform we will need good management, good recruitment.. are our current team good enough to deliver? Personally I’m not convinced....
