I'm honestly not sure. Perhaps my judgement is clouded, but I'm genuinely terrified by what I'm seeing on the pitch. Absolutely terrified. If we lost 4 or 5 on the bounce looking awful in an otherwise ok season, you'd say things will be alright but I wouldn't lay any money on us staying up at the moment. We have been absolute total turd all season, and there is enough of it gone to come to at least some conclusions.
I fully agree that Allardyce hauls us back to an era we thought we had left behind, but by God I'm worried. I have no huge desire to see him appointed, but he talked sense with Andy Gray and for me, he is the best placed to get us of of this. I'm barely thinking past the next game, let alone into next season.
We don't know if Tuchel is interested in the job, or if we are in him. If I had to wager on it, my answers would be no and yes. Agree completely with you and your intimation that we have no leadership at board level and from Moshiri. That is the fundamental problem, and being in a position where Allardyce and Dyche seem to be the leading candidates is symptomatic of the disease, not the disease itself.
If Walsh, Elstone, Kenwright, and the whole cabal can not put a structure in place for an orderly transition post-Allardyce (if it comes to it), then this is again the club/boards issue. Allardyce gets a 2 or 3 year contract, and in reality, thats the remit over which he would be paid to have influence and be responsible for results/performances.
All very fair points mate. I understand people think we are so much in the soft and smelly we have no choice.
I won't get on board with Sam. In truth if fella like Unsworth, Royle, Ebbrell and Duncan are shown the door for his entourage I'm rally not sure what I'd do. It would break my heart. It would be about the most un-Everton thing I'd seen. I won't make any big statements about never watching again, as you always find a way back, but I can't get on board with it.
