The Summer 2024 Reset

29/04/2024

(I’ll open with an apology to Mike Allison who also did a similar (and very good) article a few days ago.  I wrote this article a few weeks ago but wanted to wait till we were safe before publishing.)   So it looks as though we will be a Premier League outfit next season despite […]

The Right Man at the Right Time

29/04/2024

It's been a restorative week in terms of the manager’s standing with many fans and Dyche has now proved that he represents a rare and much-needed element of stability at a club still distressed by an uncertain future

Just Saying

28/04/2024

Supporting Everton for over 80 years has had its fair share of ups and downs.  The 1950s brought the greatest disappointment to me but this was soon overcome by the success of the 1960s.   Time at Goodison has been miserable of recent years.  In the city, Liverpool FC has achieved results that have been […]

Our Premier League Squad for next season

27/04/2024

We are facing a huge and difficult summer of yet more uncertainty, significant squad changes and a need to be both clever and realistic in what we can achieve in the transfer market

The other 14

26/04/2024

I’m not sure if I am alone with this opinion but I am getting fed up with the endless articles about us having to sell our best players to satisfy PSR. It feels like we have been trying to conform since Ancelotti left. Selling a world class footballer in Rodriguez was a massive blow to football […]

Goodison Lights

The team were fantastic and worked themselves into the ground. They never gave in. Even at 2-0 and when they got the opportunity, they went for the third.

Please heed the warnings, Mr Dyche — No Young and fill the midfield

22/04/2024

I will say right now this is not meant to be a personal attack on Ashley Young. It is just wanting what is best for Everton Football Club.   With that said, I cannot stress the importance of keeping Ashley Young out of the team, especially at full-back, where he is a complete and utter […]

Entertainment… or survival?

22/04/2024

What do you want for Everton? Entertainment… or survival? Sean Dyche’s tactics don’t allow for entertainment. I’ve heard a lot of that. We all have. Realistic, fair-minded people know that the squad at his disposal is… awful. Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Pickford. They’re our three all-stars. I remain of the opinion that Amadou Onana will be a […]
