Well where do you start on last Thursday's debacle? Let's be brutally honest, it was not a good performance as our Davey suggests by a very very long margin. I have read many, many articles over the last couple of months and Moysey is either lauded up as the chosen one or slated and we want his head on a silver platter.

I personally think on the whole in 6 years he has done a good job considering the clowns upstairs running the club but, there comes a time for change and I think we can go either 1 of 3 ways:

  1. A mighty rich billionaire comes in, uses Everton as his play thing for several years to promote dozens of other interests, keeps David and Bill at the helm. Moysey spends hideous amounts of money in a very short time and we do absolutely nothing for another 2/3 years and he eventually gets the boot after mediocre seasons reaching cup semis, another top four finish and a flirtation in the Champions League / Uefa cup. OR
  2. A mighty rich billionaire comes in with a new broom and clears out everyone (in approx 12 months); all the clowns upstairs, Bill and David included, brings in a quality foreign coach, buys half of Liverpool to put us where we belong in a swanky new stadium costing £500 million and sticks two fingers up at Liverpoo. We go on for the next 3 years employing countless coaches/managers until we hit the jackpot and bring in loads of trophies!
  3. No billionaire ever comes in Moysey gets sick to the back teeth with no money and walks. Form goes out the window, our best assets on the field get picked off, we continue to argue and pursue a ground move that will NEVER come off and we do a Sheffield Wednesday / Leeds Utd.

Now, back to last week. Like I said earlier, it was NOT a good performance, by Neville, Cahill, Osman, Baines, Hibbert, Saha, etc, etc, for example. These guys could not even put their foot on the ball and pick a decent searching pass inside the opposition's half. You could see after 20 minutes the balance wasn't right and why the hell is Cahill playing when he looks seriously out of shape?

Davey Boy's body language summed it all up that night and all we hear from him last Thursday was his moaning about the supposed red card and penalty decision. David, you make your own luck when playing with the elite and Thursday night we did not deserve a thing never mind a gift from Espinoza.

I never laughed as much when Pat Nevin came on after the game saying tactically "David is spot on, when there's a decision to be made he goes and does it quickly. He made several decisions tonight when the balance was not quite right in the 1st half in midfield."

Nevin, you must have rose tinted spectacles, mate. From where I was watching, David's team selection was baffling to say the least!

I for one would like to see David come out and say, "enough's enough. I will leave at the end of the season after my contract's up and get my dream move to Celtic or United. I have taken you as far as I am tactically able and thanks for some fabulous years. COYB

I can just see Moyes, standing in front of a mirror, practising, in his own inimitable style, your last paragraph Simon.

Ain?t gonna happen. No doubt he will sign his contract, enable EFC to get worse and then be sacked at great and wasted cost to the club. He should go NOW

Davey’s new contract is merely a devise for Bill to ensure his ’best mate’gets a massive pay-out from whoever takes over the club.If Kenwright was staying even he would see it’s time for a change for whatever Moyes has done in the past he’s now yesterday’s man

The offer of the new contract should be withdrawn until the so-called takeover is resolved. The new owners can then make their minds up wether to offer a contract or not. Also, there is sometime to run on the existing one and the way things are going he is being paid enough already.

Sorry, lads, but unless you haven?t noticed there is a global financial crisis happening due, mostly, to a lack of money in the system. As a result, nobody but a bleeding idiot (certainly not a saviour) would be putting money into any football club much less one that is in as much debt as Everton.
