Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Just looking at their fixtures... They are in some trouble but reliant on those below them in the table to stay where they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Feel for them. Rafa was a disaster. I think this was the job Deano should have held out for rather than jumping in at Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Always liked Everton. Feel they are a similar club to us in terms of history and size. Don't enjoy seeing them struggle like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid word removed. Randy Lerner MK II It's played out exactly like it did for us under McLeish only they sacked him four months earlier. Sign up incredibly un popular manager associated with rivals despite every single warning from fans- tick Have a suprisingly good start to season- tick. Didn't we start the McLeish season 10 games unbeaten or something but in reality we played mostly bottom half teams and most of them were draws. Everton started the season playing likes of Southampton, Burnley and Norwich at home so was always a flattering look to results. Spend half the season playing awful, turgid football with past it experienced players like Seamus Coleman still as regulars. Just like us hoping likes of Dunne, Collins and Warnock would rol back to 09/10 season but it just didn't happen. They'll still stay up due to Richarlison and Calvert Lewin but Everton's just got an uninspiring feel about it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 look at it this way, we managed to steal Digne off them before they got rid of Agent Rafa and realised their huge mistake..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I wonder if they would get Dyche. I think he is majorly pissed off that Woods has been sold. Burnley look doomed to relegation, might be better to side step it and avoid having it on your CV. Doesn't look like that the new owners are spending a lot. I am sure he is settled in the area and it would be a major upgrade in club size, even if they are a mess at the moment.

Keyblade Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Nuno would do worse than Rafa. Last few managers: Koeman Ancelotti Silva Rafa All highly rated when they joined (maybe not so much Rafa). Who can they get that can turn this around? The problem is their recruitment.

Hank Scorpio Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 They did what we did before we went down. Thing that may save them is they still have a few decent players and there are 3 worse teams. A very clear reminder to everyone at villa at the moment that throwing money after money at it isn't the be all and end all. Let's not repeat history again!

His Name Is Death Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Oh great, just in time for our game. Hope they don't suddenly rediscover a good run of form under Big Dunc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Their major problem is at the top of the club. The Owner interferes with the footballing side of affairs, and for all that we can tell, the manager was able to overrule the DoF Brands on transfers (until he resigned). They need an actual good structure but who knows if it will actually come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyche be an interesting choice and could do OK But he has no say if Wood stays or goes based on his release clause Edited January 16, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case Dyche should be fuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I think we should put in a cheeky bid for DCL at the end of the season, he might not like the idea of playing in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 They're a bit like us when we went down, or like Sunderland when they did. There's clearly some deep rooted problem at the club. They have money, they've had decent managers, but it doesn't matter. Something else is wrong there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
