• The drop in form was alarming over the last seven games and the Spurs game summed up where we are at:- No evident tactics, strange team selection and formations, years without a recognised right full back. This “ on the beach “ stuff, squad size and fatigue doesn’t wash. That performance was dire.rnrnThis bunch of misfits should be broken up and some moved on, for yet another rebuild. The only improvement last season was a more comfortable league position, until the last seven games....
  Mal van Schaick in Everton's summer and the need for urgency
• Ajay, don\'t forget to add Swansea and Birmingham City to that list, those footballing giants who have all won a trophy while we stagger on season after season with mediocrity, finishing 13th on the same points as last season, minus goal difference etc, now that\'s real progress ...

• I couldn't give a flying frijole whether Dan Friedkin ever shows up for a game. (It seems kinda dumb to buy a club and not go, but he didn't ask me.) Nor do I really care that he hasn't told us his plans and ambitions. (He's not gonna do that anyway so there's no point in pining for it.) And I don't think sacking Moyes shows his commitment to the club. I think how he shows commitment is hiring the right people and supporting them. I hope he's giving James Smith the wherewithal to build the worldwide scouting network we need, like he had at City. I hope he's giving Nick Cox the resources to build the same kind of academy system he built at ManUtd. We won't know about either one. But we'll know if he's giving the manager the cash to rebuild the squad. Not just like last summer's record spend that was mostly a rescue project, but a real commitment this summer to bring in the 5 (or so) quality players we need. We will know immediately if he follows through or not. Sorry, Martin #5, b...
  Mike Gaynes in Everton's summer and the need for urgency
• Mixed emotions for me about this - super happy for Crystal Palace fans, and really depressed when you realise how far Everton have fallen when the likes of West Ham, Wigan, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Tottenham, etc have all won trophies since Everton last won anything. Moyes will not win us anything - I bet he polishes his European Conference League trophy every day, and reminisces about his glorious accomplishments. rnI don\'t think Iraola and Glasner are within reach for us anymore. Eddie Howe or Marco Silva may be our best bets, sadly. At this moment for me, ANYONE BUT MOYES!...
  Ajay Gopal in Uefa Conference League Final
• Mike/Jamie, It will be an interesting debate between what James Smith proposes and what the manager wants. Senior premier league player at a certain level or younger potential likely to increase in resale value? For right-back, do you target a 28 year old Aaron Wan-Bissaka or a 23 year old Arnau Martinez from Girona. Both a similar price. As sure as the sun rises today, Moyes will want Wan-Bissaka. ...
  Steve Brown in The Rumour Mill - Close Season Week 1
• I couldn’t watch it. It’s painful behind belief. rnWe all knew Palace would win. rnBut it’s ok. We won the stability prize. That’s more important. rnStanding still whilst others keep moving forward. rnrnFuck off Everton and f*** off Moyes. rnFuck off silent Dan and his Roma play thing as well. rnrnTime for a reset and focus on the World Cup. rnNo dour shite until August at least. rn...
