MikeH on his way to a thread when he hasn’t made a Dyche snot joke in 10 minutes

Dortmund are the 2nd biggest club in Germany and have fleeting success, I don’t follow German football, But they don’t seem to be in the news for winning things lately. So arguably it doesn’t work. Yes they’re probably well off financially. And...

If he did come back I’d only want him playing 9. Don’t think he has the skill or pace for out wide.

Yes, it was best all round he left when he did. But the reality is we were helped to safety by Dyche in his first one and a half seasons, and he left us free of the relegation zone with about a 70% chance of survival this season...as it turned...

If someone is making an argument that Dyche didn’t do a good job because the three teams below us were rubbish in 24/25 ‘anyone could have kept us up’ then they can’t then make the same argument that we were definitely going down this season...

I wanted him gone at the new owners discretion as soon as the takeover was completed. It was never about Dyche, it was about the bigger picture of stability at Everton. Whilst Moshiri’s reign of utter incompetence carried on though, having a...

You’re completely ignoring context. Everton before and after the ownership change is an entirely different set of circumstances. So in January 23, 19th in the table, just been beaten 2-0 by West Ham, Gordon sold, someone offers you being a PL...

Seems like hindsight isn’t allowed when discussing this season but it’s perfectly fine for previous seasons. Bit of a double standard but we will agree to disagree.

But the deal is in Jan 23 you’re offered the chance to be sat outside the relegation zone in Jan 25 with a game in hand and new owners taking you over. You’d have 100% taken and don’t pretend you wouldn’t have. Everyone would have. I’d have given...

Would you have taken the end result if it was offered in January 23? Yes or no?

That’s changing expectations as conditions change though. Ultimately we bough him in on a 2 and a half year deal to keep the club in the PL and get us to new owners. Job done. If anyone had started mentioning football style or pushing on for...

In Jan 23 if you were offered what was ultimately delivered would you have taken it right then? Yes or no?

Ultimately after we’d lost to Bournemouth and West Ham, sold Gordon, bought no one, and were 19th in the table in Jan 23 with Arsenal next. At that exact moment, if you’d been offered to stay up that season, get 48 points the next season and...

Similar to cycling it’s probably a case that everyone at the top level is doing it to some degree. The problem comes when there’s one or two who have clearly taken it beyond what anyone else is doing thus distorting whatever level playing field...

We only stayed up because there were three worse teams - FACT. *Auto-glass repair, auto-glass replace.
