He's already been there as CEO. Would be a great rehire for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I joked last season was their 11/12 given they appointed hated manager of rivals. This season funnily enough was very similar to our 12/13. Started off the season o.k albeit with lots of low scoring draws before horrible run over xmas (although they avoided an 8-0 defeat) before they rallied and got enough wins and draws in final 10 games like we did. From what I remember 13/14 was a reasonably comfortable mid season for us bar a poor end which dropped us to about 16th so think Everton will be similar. No frills but will have a Palace type season. So they're still a good three years away from bring relegated given our path from regular top half finishes to imploding completely, that took six years. I do wonder what impact the new ground will have on their results as they always seem to be able to grind out 1-0s and draws at Goodison at crunch points in the season and plenty of opposition don't like grounds with fans basically on top of you. Think Arsenal have lost their last four now at Everton so I assume Bramley Moor will be much further away with a much wider pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Everton not paying the 4 mill to make Connor Coady permanent which seemed a formality when previously announced. Not good enough for the 17th best team in the Premier league says it all. But good enough for England right Gareth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATEOTD he's quite good in a back 3 and there's quite a lot of doubt over him in a back 4, and Dyche favours the latter. I don't think it's necessarily a comment on his overall ability (though tbc I agree he's not good enough to have the number of England call-ups he has).

rodders0223 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Coady is a system player and has been a good PL player and done well for England the rarity he has played Again VTs obsession with certain players , one being Coady is bizarre. Maybe it's a Mings thing. Apparently Callum Wilson is shit now and his 19 league goals lol Edit : my bad just the 18 Edited June 1, 2023 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Steve Round, was assistant manager to Moyes for years, we made him director of football, sacked him when Xia's gamble failed, but he is now assistant manager for Arteta at Arsenal so he was a football man at least. Wyness was just a spoofer who liked to outsource things to ensure that clubs end up broke in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've had the last laugh with that one. Ironic that they're actually really good mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkiller1981 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Just seeing a piece about Everton being under pressure to sell onana who I would say is about their only decent player. Anyone know the reasons why? I’m assuming it’s because they have no money and need to balance the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been getting rid of players without signing anyone expensive for around 2 years now. FFP 3 year cycle must be almost clear for them.

punkiller1981 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Not being an Everton fan so therefore not being that close to it I am amazed they haven’t sighed any players yet given a few have left at the end of contracts. The team they would be able to put out currently is relegation material all over it and I’m not seeing anyone linked to signing for them although to be fair the isn’t much to appeal to players there at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 They settled out of court with Ancelloti yesterday, a case of him not getting Usmanov bonus money owed and them not wanting that brought up in court. They should be penalised for the dodgy ownership situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 So many echoes of our downfall. Hovering above the drop zone for a couple of seasons. Old players on huge salaries that can't be shifted and mean you can't spend on anyone new. An ownership that doesn't want to spend anymore. A squad with zero morale or leadership. They've got to be not far above Luton for odds to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
