New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Bilko]

I'm going to be critical of the faithful here . Very brave I know, or stupid !.
the polls and comments on social media suggest a huge proportion of the fans want the man gone, that doesn't seem to translate at the game ?. I hear boos at the end, but no actual cal l s for him to go.
Is it not time for the fans to express their feelings towards the board ?.

 

[Billy Dean]

These owners won’t be at the beck and call of the fans like Moshiri was, sacking the manager when there was any kind of protest. They’ll do what they want when they see fit whether the fans like it or not.

I hope so

Personally think it’s a mixture of a few things that contributed to the lack of discontent at the game.
The main one being, the fans are just mentally and physically drained with it all. It feels like these last 3-4 years have all been 1 big long no stop season of stress, anger and misery.
The next one is, as much as we hate this current team and the manager we will support them at the game none stop.
And lastly, the ground been half empty at least 4-5 times this season with 10 mins to go, should be more than enough indication that the majority of the fan base are fed up with this manager.
The one thing I will add though is, I never get why fans applaud the players when they walk around the pitch after serving up those displays. I respect their right and opinion but personally don’t get it.

Because of Forest's league position they were never going to fire him today. Bournemouth perhaps could be it with a crap display, they may stretch to Villa to give one more chance at home against a side with patchy form.

I'm assuming we beat Peterborough in that statement. 3 PL defeats in a row/no win in 6 must be the end.

A dereliction of duty to go into these critical games with Dyche. We’re playing with fire. All it takes is for us to miss the chance to reset in January, Leicester get a surprise win or two, and we’re looking into an April of death where even Dycheball draws against the big boys won’t suffice.

Playing with fire.

Echo this. The previous four results have added a veneer of competence to the managerial set-up however this is entirely superficial. The table does not lie, we are one weekend's sequence of results from being directly in the relegation mix once again.

And before anyone mentions a game in hand, look at that lots results over the same period. Write that game off. Friedkins need to act and act now.

We've had experience changing mangers in the last few days in Jan and surviving, I think the club will want to show it gave him every chance and like it or not those 3 draws bought him that bit extra time. We have to keep our heads and remember we could be less than a week from sacking him, still with half a season to go.

We got away with it in the past at the cost of dysfunctional and damaging transfer policy. We signed and sold players under one manager only to boot him out for another. We ended up signing Dele Ali the same day as appointing Lampard. And people are surprised neither move worked out.

If we wait to the end of January to remove Dyche, we will have wasted the transfer window and blown the chance to conduct joined-up transfer policy.

The Friedkins were far from flawless at Roma. The next few weeks will give us the first opportunity to see what they are actually made of.

First loss since they took over, isn’t it? We’re not in the relegation zone.

I’m looking forward to a change of manager, just can’t see TFG making the call at this point.

They been watching the club for months, not use the last 2 weeks

Maybe, just maybe, the ambition of these owners isn’t simply to be “not in the relegation zone”

We’ll soon find out, Mike.

 

[Curtis]

We have an FA cup tie against lower league opponents soon. Any other manager would be giving younger players a go. But not ours.

To be fair to dyche's warped logic he is likely playing 31 year old Keane opposed to 40 year ashley young so in his mind he's giving a younger player an opportunity on the pitch

At roma it seemed their intent was to win trophies and be in Europe I know this season at roma has been chaotic but wasn't the plan . It's very easy but yes they need to take action beyond the flowery words

 

[Curtis]

From looking at how they operated st roma and their French club it seems they have ambitious designs for their Clubs and maybe they don't want to make seismic changes due to certain trepidations but they need to realize how loathed the previous owners were and why , also how it has fostered deep seeded distrust rightfully from the fanbase and the friedkins will be required to alleviate those concerns despite not being the previous regime

That goes without saying. The point I’ve made is that they will want as much time as possible before having to make a big call. No idea why that is such a controversial take.

They'll have been looking for at least four months.

Either they're vision impaired or they simply want an outward show of being responsibly cautious before hoofing the mongrel into outer space.
