Mantis Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 1 minute ago, bobzy said: Over-hyped in what way? You get all kinds of comments about how you need "hardened pros" and "sluggers" in the Championship - as if it's some Sunday League kick-in-the-shins fest. It's just not at all. Quite a lot of recently promoted teams - Swansea, Southampton, Bournemouth, Watford, Leicester, Crystal Palace, and even Burnley and Reading to an extent - played really good stuff in getting promoted and staying in the Premier League in some cases. No-one believes the league is "in Europe's elite" - but I reckon it's probably at a very similar standard to the Eredivisie or Primeria Liga, withholding a couple of notable teams in the latter, and probably has more money involved in it overall. I think the physicality is over-hyped and people often describe it as the hardest league to get out of, which seems a bit ridiculous to me. I see what you're saying about teams playing good football there and I wouldn't disagree but I think when pundits talk about needing "hardened pros" they're referring to this myth of the Championship being filled with ultra-fit, ultra-strong hardmen.

It is NOT a roller coaster supporting Villa. Not at all. you need as many highs as lows for that to be the case and all we get is low after low with the very occasional high. (Which turns out to be a low in the end) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 1 hour ago, bobzy said: Everton notoriously spend very little money compared to others clubs (certainly under Kenwright). Moyes took them to 6th and moved on - they've gone backwards since he left. Mental if Everton fans think the club should be top 4. You do realise under Martinez, the first season after Moyes left, Everton actually managed to get their highest points tally in the premier league. Yes I know it was downhill after that, but still - someone else came in lost their best player in Fellaini but still managed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They replaced Fellaini and Anichebe with Barry and Lukaku (initially on loan). That's what money gets you dawg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. The best football teams tend to win leagues. Drop any decent premier league outfit into the championship and they would walk it because they'd be too good for everyone, including those "hardened pros" and "scrappers' everyone talks about. We need to build a better team that plays at a premier league level in the championship, that, with some team spirit and desire to fight, is the best way out of that league IMO.

It's Your Round Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well this is depressing. Just in from work, thought I'd have a little look at when Moyes is likely to be announced and find out he's not. Id like to say I never wanted him anyway but that's just not true. Ah well, I'd rather someone that wants to be here than someone we have to beg. I'm just a bit fed up that that pool is shrinking all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most important thing about our next appointment is to unite the fans and give us reason to feel optimistic, Pearson would NOT unite the fans. Have you read this thread? Good luck with finding a candidate that unites the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted May 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2016 If Moyes doesn't want the job that is his choice. Just like it will be Tony's choice in six year's time to tell him to jog on when we are looking to replace Guardiola for failing to retain the Champions League ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
