Pickford takes top playing honours at 'Dixies'

We have made a good few mistakes in the transfer market last year but at least Jordan was a bargain.

Other awards were

Invisible Man Award - Klassen.
Absent Friend Award = Lookman.
Should Have Gone To Spec Savers Award - Walsh
Ego of the Season - Mirallas
Nothing to do with me - Ferguson
Square Peg In Round Hole - Martina
Can;t be arsed - Sliderin
Boy Doing A mans job - JJ Kenny ( thats a serious one )
Me and I - FS

there are others but I'm sure you can all make them up for yourselves.

Apparently the evening ended with FS doing Right Said Freds I'm too Sexy for EFC.

Delighted for the young man.

Lots more to come from him yet.

That made me laugh and perfectly sums up this shambles of a season.

Steve: I agree this event was a complete embarrassment and shouldn't have gone ahead.
Nevertheless, it did and the only serious contender for Player of the Year won it, so congratulations to Pickford.

I spent last week scanning ToffeeWeb every few hours in the hope of reading Allardyce had been dispensed with but now the hope is he has just the final two games left.

This club sucks the energy and enthusiasm out of you!

Calvert-Lewin should have been in for a shout for Young Player of the Year.

Gueye has had another consistent season, especially with the confidence drop of the team.

Sigurdsson was the only one really competing with Pickford, until his injury.

Coleman was a huge influence on his return, so too Baines. Jags deserves a mention too for great end to the season.

Niasse should've won an “impact player of the year” award. He's been so good in his limited time. He might not be technical or neat, but he gets he job done & has the best attitude on the park.

Walcott has also had a huge influence since his arrival.

Jordan deserves his awards. A great confidence boost in a position where confidence is huge.

I might change my mind on awards if Sam gets manager of the month though.

It hasn't been a good season, but without that young man, it would have been a whole lot worse. I'll be proud to cheer him on at the World Cup.

Let's see what happens after West Ham, but hopefully there's another x2 wins to be made.

I'm sensing there will be no changes on the coaching staff..

Almost every sports media outlet in the country has it that the club is urgently searching for a new manager, indeed “close” to appointing one. So again, even by our standards the Moshiri row back from his unspoken support for Allardyce staying, albeit delivered by the manager himself, would be both ruthless in the extreme and although clearly popular, a bit embarrassing. Why go to such lengths to meet him in London and give him another season ? Unless Sam has made it all up ? Meanwhile any managerial targets seem busy distancing themselves from the non vacancy at the club. Maybe all inside the club know Sam and team are off to West Brom?

Then there are the rumours about Bill Kenwright's departure who to be honest has allowed himself to be over influenced by the whole Tom Evans situation. Alfie's parents did what they did for their boy, which is what you'd expect up to a point, fair enough, and the lads death is so sad. But what went on at Alder Hey and the treatment of some incredibly dedicated professionals leaves a very bad taste in the mouth as far as I'm concerned and I don't think drawing further attention to the situation with a “Dixie” award was the right thing to do. Meanwhile, is Bill leaving ? The words again suggest no.

The much maligned and in my personal view poorly treated by the fans Robert Elstone looks set to leave, butvwhy the silence ? Why not announce it and be done? What's the reason for the secrecy or is that too more nonsense ?

Is Brands on his way ? Is Walsh staying ? Do we have a right to know ? Sigh. I understand there's a raft of complexity around such an appointment but frankly if Walsh stays then that qualifies as bizare as the utter failure of the clubs transfer Mgt.

In a very poor year Pickford stood out of course. But how Bill can announce that Sandro and Klassen are being given another chance and at the same time suggest Keane did well is beyond me. Keane has, thsnks to an excellent end of season showing by Jags, taken a breath and picked up, a bit. Just enough to suggest that he could stay, but only as a third centre back joining not one but two new, quality, experienced defenders. Sandro started ok on his loan but I see he's struggled again and now even the idiot who bought him has come clean on the disasterous mess that is poor Davy Klassen. I would love them both to come good next season but these words from the Chairman feel more about the fact that nobody will pay anything like their purchase price in the summer, than us being canny.

All a bit weird, bizare Everton but then we are apparently the most depressing team to support. Normally I'd laugh that off but being honest, it really feels that way right now.

"One night, I had a show opening at the Haymarket and I sat in the back stalls, listening to Bolton v Tottenham on my Walkman. That season, I felt 33,000 pairs of eyes turning on me whenever Tony Cottee missed a goal. I want 33,000 pairs of eyes turning on me and saying 'What a great bloke'. I want to be a hero here."

We only know and fear the worst as is second nature after decades of neglect, decline and bullshit. I don't see anything changing with this board. It looks like another mirage...

It would be nice to think all was well but it ain't, it's rank at the moment.

I wouldn't really even call us unpredictable, crap yes but unpredictable no!

I could have predicted last summer that Everton wouldn't win a derby home or away and wouldn't beat any of the top 6 away from home ( something you can quite confidently predict at the start of every season and virtually always get right).

Unpredictable would have been supporting Leicester in say 2016 or to lesser examples a club like Bournemouth who are generally finishing in crap league positions but then go and win 3-0 at Chelsea .

For me one of the blandest boring things about supporting Everton over this last decade or more is how predictable we have actually become.

It's also good to be informed that Wayne took a substantial pay-cut for the privilege of playing for his boyhood club and that many of the bad signings the club paid an extortianate amount for last summer, will remain on the gravy train for another twelve months. Thanks for that Bill, where would be without you and your theatrical overseeing of Everton FC?

Besides, didn't you note just yesterday that the agreement keeping Bill on as chairman expires in August? That seems to me to be much more significant than whether he departs the club entirely.

Whether the story about his agreement with Moshiri to move aside after two years has any truth to it, who knows? Even if it were true, I'm sure Bill could convince Moshiri he's still the best man for the job.

He stated publicly last night that no players who have recently signed would be leaving; that doesn't exactly give me any hope he's going to take a back seat anytime soon:

“I am part of the team that brings them in and gives them the Everton talk and all of those players, every single one of them who signed for us last summer, were determined, determined to wear that blue jersey with pride and become, hopefully, legendary Evertonians."

Regarding the truth of the August agreement, I researched my media databases after you brought it up yesterday, and I found so many media outlets that have stated it as fact (no qualifiers like "reportedly"), that I feel confident it's true.

After tonight the devil's club will probably be in there 8th European Cup final, that's the reality of where we are at, and we have a gobshite of a chairman latching on to the Alfie Evans story – how the father wanted him to be Rooney... You couldn't make this shit up.

Sad to say that the shadow of the RS is greater now than for some time. But at the end of the day all we want is to see EFC set up in the right way, and what happens in the boardroom would reflect outcomes on the pitch and any stadium plans.

I've said 'rank' and it is the pits... The media published fans survey undertaken about the worst teams to follow may be wrong ranking EFC at 10th.

The definitions of this survey I don't know, but it could be it's worse than that, and it feels worse.

Let's hope this isn't the case but if so, then, I think the current manager and his team is here for next season.

However, I would be very, very surprised if Moshiri waited until August to make whatever moves he plans. As I've predicted here before, I think it all starts with Sam's sacking a week from Monday.

I'm usually pretty proud of the amazing things we do and recognise from our community. This wasn't needed.

The little mite is lying there in his Everton top fighting for his life, Maybe it would have been better if his Dad had put a Sunderland or RS top on him!!!!

By far the biggest mistake Mr Moshiri made since becoming majority shareholder was to allow Kenwright to remain as Chairman; even if Allardyce departs in the next week or so, we can expect no revival in the fortunes of our club with the wretched Blue Bill still in a position of power.

Every couple of seasons, them lot across the park seem to unearth a player who slots right in to their ethos , their DNA, and becomes a legendary figure with a trophy held aloft. Sad as it is Alan Ball was the last trophy-winning proper legend we had at Everyone. The 1980s team were fantastic but hardly legends.

Meanwhile the low life who abused those same staff, as well as the parents of other kids, inflated a bouncy castle outside a fucking kid's hospital for their own feral brood while smoking weed and getting pissed on cider.

Now that's crass!

I get the others were not at the superstar level, but Big Nev was a legend if ever I saw one.

And going back to between Dean and Ball, what about Tommy Lawton, he's a Bona Fide legend, and he won the league here before achieving more plaudits for arsenal.
