I stayed calm for most of the summer, I suppose I had blind faith that we would get it right this time, and no doubt I stupidly believed a lot of the absolute garbage that was posted on here and on Twitter. More fool me.
Time to get behind the players and manager now, we are still stronger than we finished the season IMHO, and I just hope that Koeman isn't as annoyed today as some of us are. There's no way we have delivered on what we would have promised him.

We won't get relegated but we won't be troubling the European places. And you're right 16 weeks then another 20 and after that another 16 and on and on until one of me or you dies. I hope to see us compete again before I go, not sure you're even arsed.

Yawn.

As one window has dictated the next few years hasn't it.

As for not troubling the European places, we'll see. How did the mighty Soton get on last season again mate?
 

In Greece at the moment and stayed up to watch all of that unfold

"Nothing will be the same" - Sorry, that felt exactly the same as a number of deadline days from our relatively recent past.

Happy with the business we did up to the deadline, but Koeman saying he wanted another 3 or 4 in and then us signing Enner effing Valencia on loan and a kid for the U23s screams "we chuffed up"

OK, the players we were going for may have been more expensive and higher profile than ones we may have been in for in recent times, but the way Everything collapsed was typical Everton of Kenwright and Elstone.

Koeman said he would be "disappointed" if we didn't get players in. I wonder how he feels today.

We were an Enner Valencia loan signing short of a "we'll go with what we've got" or "Niasse could be like a new signing" statement this morning.

Don't let Everton spin it - we've done ok in the window leading up to yesterday but we ended up miles and miles short of what Koeman asked for. And that's the danger of letting things drag out until the last minute - if everything falls apart, you're left with nowhere to go except on the phone to The Porn Kings, begging them to let us borrow their 4th choice striker

I honestly, truly believed we were past all this

You have to look at who the common denominators are in all this and if it is Kenwright and Elstone who have led the negotiations, they need to be put out to grass before they can be allowed to cock up the next window - and if we do want players, let's get things arranged long before 31st Jan, eh?

For the first time, I don't think finances were a problem - we were (allegedly) bidding £30m+ for at least a couple of players so I'm guessing the problems are elsewhere.

Still, I expect Koeman to get much more out of this squad than Spanish Bob did, so perhaps next summer players will look at us as something else other than the team who finished 11th two years on the bounce.

Everton, effing Everton
 
Still fuming. Disgrace that we left it till the last day. We should of got the players we needed in early like UTD, City, RD ect.... We sold stones to fund big wagers that we didn't even need.
 

Now come January we are in a mess. First there's the STCC. If we dont hugely increase our wage bill in that window then the stones money is lost, gone, and into BKs pocket.

Then there's our financial problem. January is notoriously hard to get players in. The ones that are available are extremely overpriced and tend to have fallen out of favour at their respective clubs. These clubs will know our desperation and this will make deals far harder than this summer.

Then there's our reputation amongst agents and prospective players. We've been shown to be naive in the extreme and amateurish. We've been used by players and agents to get bigger deals elsewhere on numerous occasions and this will continue to be the case. We are not taken seriously and are easily left looking royally shafted. Not something an everton board will be able to overcome.

In short it's a heck of a challenge and once January again does not meet expectations, we will repeat this process all over again next summer only this time Lukaku will need replaced on top of our other deficiencies. And some will claim it's essential for wage purposes. It's all very murky and we are not in safe hands. If it weren't for Koeman it would be a dire situation.
 
One word sums it up...

Embarrassing.

Well in Everton and all those responsible for yet another shambles (Kenwrights name all over this).

Ronald will need to earn his corn now. That's if he sticks around.

One last thing, can we really trust these idiots with delivering a new stadium? I'm starting to have cold sweats just at the thought of yet another fiasco.
 
We've all been here before lads haven't we. the money men at our club are pathetic. Season ticket holders should be given a refund as they were sold under false pretences. We can only laugh otherwise we'd all be crying.
