If we go down, how do you start the rebuild?

[ToffeeTim]

He's not selling us midway through a stadium build.

The club will never recover under his ownership. If he doesnt go then we will keep declining.

But he won't sell mid-stadium. Let's be real.

 

[mclint]

Start by getting the dross out and recruiting well, players who know how to get out of championship.

We will need our own Mitrovic / Ivan Toney type striker who can fire us out.

Maybe sign Gayle from Newcastle, he always scores in the championship.

 

[Thomasc]

I’d be hoping we could keep a nucleus consisting of
Patterson
Mykolenko
Godfrey
Branthwaite
Doucoure
Gray
Gordon
Simms
Townsend
Alli

I feel this would give us a chance of bouncing straight back up. Bit of youth and experience mix.

DCL - I honestly don’t think anybody would buy him after these injuries so would also start the season at Everton.

Holgate and Keane would also be decent in the championship so if they stayed then it wouldn’t be a bad thing, same with Coleman as backup to Patterson. Then there is the lad coming back from Standard Liege at left back.

I actually even think Gomes would be decent for a season in there with his experience.

Say goodbye to Kenny, Delph, Tosun, Gylfi, El Ghazi

sell Mina, Allan, Richy, Pickford

We can't even begin to rebuild while the hierarchy of the club remains the same. The chairman and the board simply have to go. No healing process can start until they have been purged from Everton Football Club. Regardless of what division we're in next season they have to go. Until Kenwright, Baxendale and the rest of the vermin are gone we'll just get more of the same.

has proved a bit tricky the last 5 years

 

[ToffeeTim]

Maybe not, but this is football. Things aren't always clear cut.

To maximise the stadium value, he needs top flight football. If we don't have that then it's very possible he'll be looking to find a way out.

 

[perth_blue]

How do we start the rebuild you ask?

 

[Connor]

Begovic
Patterson Branthwaite ?? Mykolenko
Warrington Price Davies
Gordon Simms Dobbin

Give us a battling young side that we can build an identity with

And Jobi Mcanuff off the bench, of course.

This!
If/when we go down this lot should be run out of town and torn to shreds by the media - in the same way the Glazers are daily, the same way Hicks and Gillette were but they won’t be. They’ll get away with it and blame this on unprecedented injuries, poor officiating or even Covid!! They’ll do what ever they can to deflect the blame from them. And as you say, as long as these clowns are at the top making decisions, we’ll be run like a circus.

 

[bitter-no-better]

Stay up and rebuild sounds better.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

sorry if this is a really silly question but what happens with with out profit and sustainability issues? By dropping out of the Premierleague does it reset, miss out a season assuming we're lucky enough to bounce back or does it carry out? Sorry, that's probably a really silly question.

It gets even tighter in the EFL. Basically wages would have to come down in a BIG way if we're to go down and stay out of trouble with the rules.

 

[beachy]

Kenwright and dbb immediately resign. Mosh takes a back seat role with no footballing decisions, except appointing a DOF.

 

[Bluestar]

Can they right off the bat? I'd imagine there is a sliding scale with these things. Because we will have just dropped out of a league where the rules were different?

The sliding scale is the parachute payments.
We have to comply with the EFL rules. We have been massively overspending against the PL rules. We will be catastrophically over the EPL rules. Fire-sale required or we will be hit with a points deduction.

 

[roy vernon]

Slash and burn baby, whether we stay up or go down, radical change is needed. The wage bill has to be drastically reduced, the savings on out of contract players will help, but, does not go anywhere near far enough. Billy Liar and Blondie need to go and quickly, we need a businessman, preferably with experience of running a football club and a Chairman who sees the faults at boardroom level and is prepared to make the tough decisions to address them.

I don't think we have any chance of seeing the back of Moshiri any time soon, but, he has just appointed a DOF and a manager, he needs to let them attend to the day to day running of the playing side of the club, including all recruitment, Moshiri and his grubby agent mates need to stop interfering.

This is going to be a very tough period for the club, but, if we don't take our medicine and change the whole ethos of the club, I fear Everton Football Club may be heading for oblivion.
