Moyes transfer black spot is in the range of the £250,000 to £1.5M price range in which he's dallied extensively and from which players hardly ever bears fruit. He must have wasted a few quid here over the years.

Yeah, would have wasted a bit, but I reckon he covers it when they do come off and some, like Cahill, Coleman etc do. Others are a waste of space granted. I guess it's like chucking 20p in the fruit machine when the bloke next to you is chucking in a pound a go, our gambles are a lot smaller fry.

They're usually younger players. It's confusing: we're being told that our youth system/academy is very strong, but there's still the obsession he has with bringing in players from other club's academies even when he's not prepared to blood many of our (superior imo) academy players. That's a waste of resources.

It worries me how few players come through our academy ranks to be honest, there has not been a lot and the best ones we've nearly let slip only to sign them back up! Another side to that could be that young promising kids aren't coming to us anymore, there's no chance of silverware really, and if they make it they'll only be sold on anyways. Perhaps we just aren't attracting them and they are choosing the likes of Man City instead now, I don't really know stats or anything, just a gut feeling.

There's always a song and dance about and great claims made for our academy. Truth of the matter is we probably produce about as many first teamers from that source as any other club outside the CL contending clubs in the PL.
 
Be it David Moyes, or a new manager, it will be a case of shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic.

The serious problem is with Bill and his merry men of spurs supporters.

George Green.
 
The vast pool of out of contract players and loanees throughout europe these days makes managing a club like Everton a great opportunity, how many more are there with ability like Drenthe?

Forget tactics that's the noddy stuff taking up 1% of a coaches thinking it's about man management the ability to motivate, inspire - do the difficult thing of turning a talent like Drenthe around rather than fighting with 'em.

Clough made his reputation creating teams including cast off trouble makers like Kenny Roberts and Larry Lloyd he took latent talent like John Robertson and Tony Woodcock and brought it out.

Then again he was his own man with vision, the sort who told his players not to drink the tea at anfield because "the bastards have probably drugged it".

Couldn't see our man having that bristling "fook 'em" attitude.
