What on earth were you expecting? A run at the title?

Weirdly enough, yes!! That's what happens when you have two promotions and started supporting in the days of Brian Clough and Bobby Robson.

 

[knowing your history]

Yeah, useless last season was he when he was getting this club out of a hole they'd made for themselves with the connivance of the PL and shouldered two points deductions and all the disruption that went with them?

Short memory.

Dyche will be turbo-driven motivation wise to get into Leicester and keep them up. I wouldn't blame him either.

If Leicester have any sense they'll be beating a path to Dyche's door at the moment.

And if that happens we are in some trouble.

Better pray WBA seal a deal for Dyche.

Mowbray is already West Brom manager so he isn't going there.

If Leicester aren't interested I reckon he pops up at Leeds at some point in next 12 months.

I'm telling you right now: if we get beat tomorrow the wheels will start to buckle on this club.

There'll be panic because most will think that's our fate: to be wedded to Moyes and we dont have the chance to twist again on a manager.

Well that better not be the attitude of the Texans.. They have to be ready to pull the trigger on Moyes and shift to someone else. And they better be shortlisting managers even now ready to go.

They've got how much tied up in Everton? If it were me I'd have two more games in mind and if we're in the relegation zone I'd get shut of Moyes and go again.

I wouldn't;t care what it looked like...then again, I wouldn't have been the clueless gets these Texans are in the first place to have hired the washed up Moyes.

Tony Mowbray is the new WBA manager so its time for us to start shaking in our boots.
Lucky leicester.

 

[Blue peter]

Dyche will arrive at Leicester soon enough.

It depends on whether he’s got the energy for it. His time with us may have burnt him out

 

[Goat]

Why? We're we in the relegation zone when he came here? What would be miraculous in keeping us where we were when he arrived here?

When Lampard was sacked we were a point off the drop with 19 games played.
When Dyche was sacked we were a point off the drop with 19 games played.

People said Dyche keeping us up was a miracle, so im asking, if Moyes does the same, is it not a miracle?

Yes, better quake.

Dyche will be Leicester's target for sure and he'll get theme safe...just as he would have done for us for the third time.

You are demanding a manager be sacked after 1 game.

This isnt normal.

 

[Drico]

Never underestimate the power of being associated with "Monshestunihed" when it comes to getting moves you are simply not cut out for.

I said it the day he was appointed: Van Horsehead was an act of self harm.

Yet, are we really that confident we will beat them at Goodison in a few weeks' time? I'm not. They've lost seven in a row, yet we still only find ourselves three points above them. This is why Dyche was rightly sacked - but the new fella needs to show why he was appointed, and pronto!

He'll be motivated beyond belief.

What a chance to get at the owners of Everton who concocted some bollocks story about him walking away from Everton.

If I were Dyche I'd do the Leicester job for nothing.

Normal for him though

 

[Tony’s Carp]

We genuinely still may go bust if we go down (though now that FFP and the new ground are allegedly all resolved and ready, surviving may present a clean slate for us).

It’s very much the opposite of good fun when you consider those consequences.

For us, the frustrations comes from a decade of abysmal recruitment and management. Seeing clubs pass us that used to be easy pickings just hones what a dreadful job the merry go round of dreadful DOFs and managers have done.

It's still not pleasant to contemplate but I think the threat of armageddon has passed with the debt restructured and much of the wage bill slashed or to be slashed in the summer. Plus a revenue bump from the stadium that to some extent would compensate for the TV money drop. In reality we are now in no different shape to any normally run club that gets relegated like say Leeds or Leicester, who have had to make changes and sell players, but have been in no existential peril.

Bear in mind the rest of the EFL are up in arms because they feel parachute payments make things TOO easy for relegated clubs.

CLASSIC DAVEK!

Vintage stuff.

Jeez, I thought I hated Everton, but you take it to extreme levels.
