Chico, I have great respect for you.
If you study the history of the split, most of it was driven by Houlding's Toryism, his sectarianism and his greed. The directors who voted him out were mostly Liberal, non sectarian and quite teetotal.
The group of directors that moved to Goodison were open and welcoming of all.
The RS were founded by Houlding and for many years they seem to have continued his views of the world.
Btw I live in Ireland so my politics are irrelevant to the UK. However please understand that I will tolerate anyone's genuine beliefs as long as they do not encourage hatred of anyone. That includes Tories, Unionists and the Monster Raving Looney Party.

I said before the window shut, the only way Lampard roots out the Bullens Road Bolsheviks is by getting McCarthy in.
No, not that McCarthy.

Derby scraped into the play-offs on the last day and finished 6th, 20 points behind Norwich. They would not have even made it in to the play-offs if Bristol City hadn't fallen apart winning only one of their last 5 games. Derby then faced a Leeds side who had a similar collapse. Taking only one point from their last four games and who were in terrible form.
At Chelsea he inherited an excellent defence that was averaging mid-thirty League goals per season. He dismantled the five at the back, dropped the likes of Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen and Alonso. Not only that he changed from a solid five to a wide open back four. Dropping Rudiger and replacing him with Zouma was bizarre. They went from conceding mid-thirties to mid-fifties in terms of League goals conceded.
Then we come to his Champions League record, I would hardly call losing 7-1 on aggregate in the round of 16 impressive. The bit I don't get is expecting him to be bold and innovative. His tactics are woefully outdated. Teams now look to press high up the pitch. Lampard's answer is to knock it around at the back to give them as much opportunity to win the ball as possible.
Before and after Lampard's tenure Jorginho was the most influential player in Chelsea's team. Week in week out, Jorginho was getting the most touches and was starting attacks. Lampard dropped him and looked to knock it around at the back with Thiago Silva then becoming the dominant player in possesion.
Lampard gets sacked and Jorginho is on the shortlist for the Ballon D'or. Lampard got the Derby job because his uncle Harry was a consultant at Derby. He then gets the Chelsea job after finishing 6th with Derby because rightly so he is a playing legend at Chelsea.
Lampard has done nothing as a manager to even show he is good enough for a job in the Championship, never mind managing a giant like Everton. Far from being a serial winner as a manager, he has won nothing. Benitez was a terrible appointment but Lampard has the potential to be far worse.
Fixed.

Over here we had a civil war from 1922 to 1923. My side were seriously involved, with my mother's uncle being executed by the Free State. My grandfather was a founding member of Fianna Fáil.
My wife's background is totally opposite with all sides supporting the Free State. We have stuck together for 32 years nonetheless.
Politics should not interfere with a loving relationship and that includes Everton.
Keane is a liability, you said "Keane was a disaster" in the Brentford game when he wasn't and he was actually solid in the game.

Presser just cut off. Sums the club up, even the AV department is an utter shambles.
