Tried that with Unsworth but bottled it and had to bring in Allardyce as interim until they could get Silva. I don't suppose we'll know anytime soon - seems we sacked Silva without knowing who would replace him.

Big bonus points if he was influential in bringing in Ancelotti. But then I do worry we sacked Silva and was scrambling around seemingly without an idea when Ancelotti was still in a job.

Hindsight is of course wonderful. This was my view before the season really got started and my concern with our midfield, particularly fitness. Gomes - Injury prone, before leg break. Gbamin - Always needed time to adjust, according to the manager on day one. Delph - Injury prone; How much...

How much has he already spent on our midfield? Gomes, Iwobi, Gbamin, Delph... Must be about 80-90 million?

Also took Davis from Fleetwood. I mean, Fleetwood.

If only we got Monchi instead of Steve Walsh... My opinion on Brands is the same as day one. Meh. There's just something about the Dutch league... To be fair to him there's very valid restrictions on him but then I look at the players he has spent money on and I'm not convinced. It seems a...

Disagree with all of that mate. Speculation occurs in absence of facts. Inside the club obviously have those facts, we don't. If it's not clear who is responsible for anything at Everton, then you could say the same about every football club. The majority shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, opted...

Any transfer who comes in is on Brands. Of course it is. You can't start to portion credit and blame according to your preference. "Richarlison? Oh that was Marco Silva..." "Iwobi? Moshiri, that - Arsenal innit" Come off it.

Agents etc ruin that theory. I do think Ancelotti's endorsement counts for a lot though. "Oh Ancelotti wants him?"...

The survey is shared across all out platforms. In fact, less than 10% come from the lazy gits on this forum lol Most come from email and social media. [Edit] The fickleness works both ways. Last summer Marco Silva had a 96.7% approval rating, higher than Ancelotti on the back of a strong...

That last summer window really showing...

Appreciate it's an attempt of a joke mate but we don't welcome even jokes of that nature on here.

I think early days given he needed to shift a lot of players. He's also had one managerial appointment, and that was Carlo Ancelotti. [EDIT] Although that said, he persevered for well too long with Silva and ended up sacking him, without a clue either given Ancelotti was still in a job at that...

That was the moment for me. I was unsure on his appointment given his Eredivisie background. But I got right behind him, every benefit of doubt but after Iwobi - big alarm bells. If it was Iwobi or nobody, nobody was the answer. I said it at the time on here. Still, early days so we shouldn't...

Early days but looking at the £100m+ he spent in the last window... Makes my eyes bleed.

Mina is consolidated into the bad column now.

The whole point of a DoF is players are bought to fit the club, not the manager. That means when you spend a small fortune on Iwobi, he won't be obsolete a few months later under another manager.

We spent over £100m in the last window, and I don't think any of them will be in Ancelotti's preferred plans. Iwobi? Kean? Gbamin? Delph? Sidibe? Gomes? Maybe Gomes?

He's signed too many midfielders who have proven records of being unable to score or assist.

Iwobi though...
