Eggs, no you didn't. That was shown as a lie years ago.

…..what an odd post, not sure why anybody would lie about such a thing and no idea how something 100% true could be ‘proven as a lie’. He was a fine player Ray Wilkins, sad he’s no longer with us but happy to have shared a footy pitch when we were youngsters.

Never mind.

Probably petty minded jealousy Eggs.

The bad outweighs the good.
I thought he done ok with some of the OUTS but in the main, the INS have been terrible.
I think the DOF model has failed too often at Everton.

I think it has ultimately failed because far too often we have had a model where the DoF and Manager aren't aligned at all. The places where you see success with the model are where they are aligned, mostly because the footballing structure is in a place where the manager just plays the style that the club and DoF dictate, with the players they sign for you.

If you do the maths in your head, its quite literally impossible that the chart is correct.

Is this based on you still thinking that Beto and Chermiti cost us £0?

Well they didnt so...no?

Oh is this one of those amazingly funny Dele type jokes @MikeH72 ?

The "Dele is on loan" hilarity...

 

[Bob Elstone]

Get him gone. Need a fresh start. Man thought Beto and maupay were good options.

What even are those numbers?

What is the period? A season, a calendar year?

If it's all of 2024, we've apparently spent £685.1m for our 31 points.

Just a nonsense of a chart.

Yes mate.

Not saying he’s done an amazing job but I think binning him and Dyche off at the same time would be a tad risky. That’s a whole lot of change in one go.

I think its unfair to look only at the in's, and ignore the players that we have been strongly linked with, especially those that we know went close. That is also the same with Brands.

Quite clearly there has been two issues, firstly the lack of funds, and secondly the internal meddling stopping him having full control over his job.

Clearly he will have made mistakes along the way, but you can't attribute all off those to him, especially when we've got that desperate over the last few years we've needed any heads just to bulk up the squad.

I think at the end of January, we should have a clearer view, assuming funds are available and he has full control over how those funds are spent.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Based off the players supposedly identified and that we were ‘in for’ I think he might be able to do a good job at a club that can spend a modest amount of money like every other premier league club

He hasn’t done a good job though. Buying Maupay is the real wtf moment for me because there was clearly no plan on how to use him in the team… he’s not a terrible player as seen everywhere else he’s played but he never fit any managers plans at all.

I think the big Tim Iroegbunam and N’Diaye deals are superb given the position we’ve been in and also Beto would get goals if he was played instead of dcl so I’m not blaming him for that either.

Dyche and PSR have been the bigger issues for me
