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

A striker - not sold on Brereton Diaz, don't really have an alternative to offer.

Diaz is banging them in at that level for a Blackburn side who are midtable. Relatively young. To ensure we come straight back up its vital we get a striker who we know scores at that level, even if it means flogging him after one year

The last accounts wage bill would have also included:
Hamaz 220
Digne 150
Bolasie 60?
Walcott 100
King 60?
Besic 30?

Plus Carlo was on around 12m a year.

Although it still doesn't touch the sides and that is nearly all the top earners off the books. We must be missing something because I'm not sure how we get to 180m, if I'm honest?

And it also didnt include.

Dele 100k
Myko 40k
Patterson 40k
Gray 80k
Townsend 80k
Rondon 80k
Begovic 60k
El Ghazi 50k
VDB 80k

Plus wages for 2 managers.

People seem to think we have made wages savings the last year, IMO, we havent.

Of course this summer we shed a LOT of wages, but that only helps our balance sheet next summer and some of the players we release this Summer we will need replacing.
 

I want us to sell them all, Richarlison, Calvert lewen, pickford, Mina, the whole lot of them. There is no point in building around the possibility of one or two good players staying here and maintaining the status quo. Whether we go down or stay up, i want a complete culture change at the club, new faces, new way of playing, new philosophy. No good player in our squad would want to stay beyond this season anyway, if they do then there is something worrying about that. Go back to moyes style of transfers, bring in championship players (if we stay up) to replace overpaid under performing ones. Just build a squad who have a point to prove on the pitch rather than sign players to improve us, there is no foundation to improve on as we can clearly see.
 

1. Keep Lampard. We need continuity and I'd like him to stay on.
2. Entrust all football matters to Thelwell, and Lampard working with him for the first-team squad.
3. Kenwright and DBB should resign - they are responsible for oversight and have failed.
4. We cannot simply sell everyone - we need a core of squad - but sell as many as possible.
5. We are then looking at a mix of cheaper prospects + reliable Championship journeymen to give us the nucleus of a squad that will be competitive.
6. The cups are not going to be relevant so its 46 games to focus on to maximise the points totals and see where we are with 10 games remaining.
7. Implement a post-Unsworth overhaul of Academy/U-23's - the core of our focus has to be on developing our own players.
8. Spend only what we can afford, obvious but worth saying and not like we will have a choice anyway. There will have to be a cost control and value for money aspect to absolutely everything that we do.
9. If possible, continue with the stadium development but only if its feasible. It would remain the one thing we could positively point to and a big incentive to go back up asap.
10. Recognise the trauma caused by this and let the dust settle, hopefully by building a team and squad that are reliable and consistent with a high work ethic. Relegation will indeed be a seismic event. The club has to commit to understanding why it happened, learning from it, and ensuring glaring mistakes are not repeated.

all of this!!
if the worst happens it needs to be seen as a chance to reset the club. Not just the playing squad but the entire inner workings.
I've said it for years this perception of Everton - the Grand Old Team that does things the old fashioned way needs to change. This could be a chance to completely re-invent the club so if/when we get back into the premier league (again, if the worst happens) it's a new, more modern and smarter Everton.

Hard to disagree with any of this, keeping Lampard being the most important one. There are big decisions to be made about which players to keep / let go so we need someone who has seen them up close, even for a short while, and knows who will be up for the fight in the championship. A new manager and another clean slate for these players is the last thing we need.

I agree with most of this, but do you think they are going to pull out of the stadium after dredging the Mersey for 3 months and building the corners?

Not going to just down tools and pack up lol
