Drico
Player Valuation: £50m
The majority never had much ability to begin with and were hired by a Dutchman who either wasn't allowed to do his job or wasn't up to doing his job - most likely a combination of both. Andre Gomes, for example, was considered by some as the worst player ever to play for Barcelona. It was quite clear that he suffered some form of debilitating crisis there - but we bought him. Alex Iwobi was considered a disaster by many at Arsenal - but we bought him for a small fortune. Amazingly, some vaguely competent performances at the end of this season have some calling for a contract extension. Absolute madness.What ability is that then? Not just happened this year. What has their ability given us these past 4-5 years. Zilch. We have to be very clear on this. The majority need to go and go from May 23rd onwards. It is the only way our club will move forward. Please do not muddy the waters.
But things change quickly at Everton. If we go down, a lot of the more sentimental talk about players, management, and board will turn to something a little more hard-edged. We need a purge come Monday. A huge, unsentimental, ruthless gulag-shaped purge. Without one, the forgiving types that are currently knocking around will have us plunged back into the same nightmare come August.
