• Tony @ 615, I think we should twist and make the change this summer. Progress for me is not sitting in 10th this season after 100 million plus in squad investment. As I have said before, I do not think that TFG's football strategy to build the playing squad around young talent and the academy matches the manager's modus operandi. But of course, results will decide TFG's next move. It is highly unusual that so much managerial talent is available, including young managers, progressive managers and serial trophy winners - Iraola, Glasner, Maresca, Alonso, Pocchettino, Terzic, Frank, Marco Silva, Low, Deschamps, Valverde and Zidane. We cannot take the risk to stick in this scenario. Moyes can move upstairs to a senior executive role at the club, as Ranieri did at Roma...
  Steve Brown in "No shame in how we performed": David Moyes gives verdict on loss to Liverpool
• Anneka #23, for once I agree with you. Emery for me for what he's done at Villa. Might be difficult to pry away but he never seems to last long at any club so he might feel like having a change. Or if you want some fun attacking football and don't care about results? Dick Shreuder. ...
  Eric Myles in What we learned from another heartbreaking derby defeat for Everton
• Mike @601; sadly, Mike I think you're right. Tony@603; we're neither, we're an investment they bought for 10p on the pound and I would say that we'll be sold on within 5 yrs...The Esk, notwithstanding, I reckons a mid range PL Club with a new ground will go for about £1.5Billion...or more. The are not white Knights, living the Ted Lasso / Wrexham dream. They don't need to come to 'the plant' turn over is up, Moyes and The 3 Amigos have it ticking over nicely...apart from Davy's Derby Day Debacles....
  Derek Thomas in "No shame in how we performed": David Moyes gives verdict on loss to Liverpool
• I know I'm repeating myself re our club's very disturbing record on injuries to our star players but at the turn of the last century I attended Stoke's horrible ground for a 3rd FA Cup tie, perennially at the time under Walter "always disappointed" Smith. I was there as a guest of my lifelong friend (still) who was then Stoke's medical officer. He and I has access to the dressing rooms pre-match. Accordingly he/we met up with the very recently departed Stoke physio who'd just taken a job with Everton. He, the physio, berated the medical amateurism of Everton in comparison to Stoke, a bog standard second tier team. He personally cited Kevin Campbell and our Italian-born useless left back as taking the piss out of us all in fantasising alleged injuries to live the high life at our expense whilst "injured". They were presumably under the sway of our gross regularly unavailable nonentity "legend" Ferguson, due to alleged injury or deliberate by him, selective suspensio...
  Don Alexander in David Moyes “worried about” Jarrad Branthwaite after Merseyside Derby
• Worth noting that Dixon's start was only his second of the league season -- his first was three days earlier in a win at AFC Wimbledon -- after seeing little of the pitch for months. He has been recovering from a severe ankle injury and hadn't played the full 90 in a full year. Doing it twice in a week represents quite a milestone for the young man's comeback. ...
  Mike Gaynes in Everton Loan Watch — Matchweek 33
• Mark ‘I go to every match home and away like’ (repeat ad infinitum) Steers (616): ‘Sometimes you have to say it as it is’.Gosh, you’re a hero lad. The problem for you, however, is that you are spewing utter unadulterated crap, and if you’re lucky you might get enough posters that we could count on the fingers of one hand who might express some level of backing from timid tepid to unsure warm.Coleman, the worst right-back in our history 😂😂😂😂😂 Question: answer it: who has been the first-, second-, and third-best right-backs in your ‘I go to every match home and away like’ opinion?...
