How can this club be saved?

I have loyalty ultimately to Everton.

If I thought Dyche was taking us down Ild be demanding his head.

But we've been in worse positions than this much later in the season than this and got out of it under Dyche.

We just have to accept that along with his desire to keep things tight that necessitates us taking any chances we do create in games.

We can take a gamble and go more open with a different manager, but can you imagine the catastrophic defeats we'd suffer with these group of players?

Their heads would go down and Dycheball would seem like a very safe haven to be docked in.

I struggle to see a path out of this mess, the club are in. New stadium and new ownership should be more than enough for us to be optimistic, but the squad and management is so poor, that i have no words to describe how poor it is.

So blues.. What needs to happend?

Replace one of the drone lads with a reaper drone and give them a BAE operator and the coordinates of GP?

Of course that's the ideal I suppose but I don't see how that is possible though? How do you ever really make the long term changes to the club without clearing house first and being at a level whereby you don't have to spend your entire budget to keep still? And how do you ever get the fans onside while you do it.

We did go about it the wrong way, but thats because we had an owner who refused to put a penny more into the club and then he sold it to crooks for owners who stole our parachute payments. It's highly unrealistic that Everton would face anything other then a Burnley, Leeds etc. and be competitive within a season or two in the Championship. You're far too big for owt else.

Also, we might have been to the doldrums, but as a supporter I had far far more fun then had we stayed in the PL, and the club are certainly better for it. That's kind of my point.

This is one thing I can agree on - real football, real clubs and real fans.

Regarding staying up and making long term changes, this season is the defining one, really. If we stay up and get rid of Dyche, get a new, progressive manager with some decent signings (and win the lottery etc etc) we will be OK, if we go down, we are in a world of pain.

He took Burnley down when things went stale and after they sacked him results improved massively but the damage was already done. What makes you think he will actually turn things round for Everton

The answer is development of young players. Thanks to Masters and his employers at Man Utd and the rs it's now impossible to spend money on bringing in players, so the only thing we can do is keep the likes of Branthwaite and hope to uncover 4 or 5 more of them. The immediate future is to employ a manager with more modern ideas so we can stabilise the club.

This isn't really a route these days. If someone like City sees a good player in our academy they just ask them how much and snap them up

I'm talking about 18 year olds from lower leagues here and abroad, rather than home grown although it would be great if we could. We bought Branthwaite for £1 million, Stones for £2 million.

We're not actually in the relegation zone we're two places off it.

Let's not run away with any idea a massive turnaround has to happen to any team that's been beaten only 3 times in 14 games.

To listen to some of you you'd think we're on a losing streak of about 10 games.

It's all about fractions.

If we match last season - will will have to wait 3 months for our next win.....
Imagine that - April before another 3 points ?
No, neither can I
He's heading into what has been our poorest stage of the last four seasons January to Easter - with 3 wins !!!
It's indefensible.

This was meant to be the season we were going to enjoy ourselves as a farewell to Goodison. Without the points deduction we would have finished around 12th last season. Therefore most of us expected a similar performance but instead we got a massive deterioration in play and results. Each match was going to be a mini farewell. Now I'm dreading the final game at GP. We'll be playing an already relegated Southampton, who will have nothing to play for, whilst we'll be desperate for a win in the hope of staying up.
