• “Happily dissatisfied”, Kinnear will regret that one for a long time. We hoped for great executive leadership after the TFG takeover, however we now appear to have a mini David Brent as our CEO. rnrnIt is good to deliver financial restructuring and and instill a commercial mindset, but TFG are inconsistent in delivering the key footballing priorities they set out when they took over:rnrn(1) Strengthening the men’s first-team squad through thoughtful and strategic investment.rn(2) Cultivating home-grown superstars through Everton’s Academy.rnrnSigning Dibling, Aznou, George, Barry, Rohl and Alcaraz aligns with priority (1), as does giving Iroegbunam and Armstrong regular first-team action. It doesn’t work if you then retain a short-termist manager who refuses to pick any of them. Equally, who can look at Moyes’s career over the last 25 years and say he the man to develop home-grown talent from the Academy?rnrnLook at Arsenal, they set out a long-term plan i...
  Steve Brown in Cut the soundbites: It's time Kinnear and TFG show they mean business at Everton
• Neil # 121 - I agree with everything you said. To put it in a nutshell our current manager needs to be replaced with one who goes out to win every game and most importantly, be backed in the transfer market with the type of players he needs.rnrnThat is what is required and as you said at the end of your post they should be planning it now. rnrnThe question is do TFG have the ambition or appetite for it or will they be quite happy to chug along raking in £136 million for a twelfth place finish for another 3 or 4 seasons then sell us at a handsome profit.rnrnIf the latter it needs to be TFG out and replaced with someone with the level of ambition Usmanov had....

• The game against Brighton will live with me for the rest of my days. rnIt was on my birthday, it was Bank Holiday the next day so we\'d booked a hotel for the night. The Titanic, directly across the road (KDH was staying there as well).rnrnThe Blues won, I got \'home\' in minutes and enjoyed a lovely night out with my fiancé. We ended the night in the rooftop bar directly opposite our new home, I remember staring at the illuminated stadium and dreaming of the success we will experience in the future in our new home. A great day. rnrnI\'m seriously pissed off after Sunday, but I still believe all this pain and suffering will have a happy ending. ...

• John @97. Suppose 40 odd thousand would have stayed behind last Sunday. What message would that have conveyed to the club ? How about, “ look at these idiots, we turn out a super shit show like that and they still stay behind. They’ll accept any old crap, theses supporters “. ...

• I knew Arsenal were champions, within ten minutes of putting that game on around the twenty five minute, mark last night.rnrnFuck Arsenal, f*** City, f*** everyone but it was clear to me that City’s players were physically and mentally shattered (except Haarland) and you don’t win anything with tired players.rnrnEverton, don’t owe anyone anything but remembering the effort that both Palace and Bournemouth, put into the games against us that could have sent us down, then I just hope Moyes, picks our freshest players on Sunday....
