WallisFrizz Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Am I right in thinking Tarkowski turned us down so he could join Everton and get relegated twice in two seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have went bust. Hell of a lot easier for an Everton, Newcastle or Aston Villa to attract interest than a Blackpool or a Milwall though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight I wonder if we would have been better sticking with someone of the players that took us down rather then spending dozens of millions of Championship players. Then again a lot of then were idiots , and the place just stank of stale and losing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think we were right to sell the squad, what we were then wrong to do is buy a group of players with the sole design of getting us out of the championship We should have been looking at the best 21 year olds in the country for £12-15m in the hope that as they got better we got better and their upward trajectory carried them through to the PL Instead we bought old boys who had to drop out of the PL and players with champion shop ceilings Go down or stay up Everton's priority number 1 has to be overhaul the recruitment, top to bottom their transfer dealings over the last decade really have stunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 They may very well stumble across the points they need to stay up but the Dyche appointment has not (yet) turned out like they thought it would. They are 17th in form table over 10 games and 18th (ahead of Chelsea ) over the last 6. If Dyche wasn't a new appointment he'd likely be facing the sack. 13 points from 13 games and 10-22 in GD ain't great. Squad isn't great but that goes for most of the clubs down there.

Mark Albrighton Posted April 29, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2023 We did keep a fair few of that relegation squad, at least for a while in the first season in the Championship. How much we wanted to keep them no doubt varied from player to player. Gabby, Grealish, Ayew, Gardner, Westwood, Bacuna, Amavi, Baker, Hutton, Cissokho, Gestede, Bunn, Richards. I think Kozak was still knocking about too. They didn’t all feature every week, but most of those listed clocked up ten or more appearances in that first year down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 The Leicester V Everton match is so open. It could be 8-6 as neither team can defend. Good for the neutral though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Good game but some of those misses and saves. Why maddison took the pen I don't know, it was terrible. Thought vardy or iheanacho took them when he played ? Nasty looking injury to colman too, he will be lucky if he hasn't snapped his leg looking at those replays.

Main reason Villa fans want them down is pride. They have more PL games than we do because of our relegation and that still bugs people I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a long standing grievance that I’ve missed? I have never heard of this as a reason for wanting Everton to go down. And you think there’s a sense of pride that people would gain from Villa having more PL games than Everton? It would be laughable if that is the case, but I haven’t seen anything to suggest it’s true. There’s a sense that they’ve been circling the drain for a while and that they’ve been fortunate once or twice in escaping (Hans Segers springs to mind). But that was also true of Sunderland before they finally dropped. I don’t think the sentiment is based relative to us. For the record, I don’t care if they stay up or go down. If they stay up, great - they’re normally good for 4-6 points a season in our campaign. If they go down it’ll be interesting to see what happens to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
