Agreed, but if we can keep Delph fit then it means we can keep almost anyone fit which would be a huge step forward from where we’ve been recently.

Donachie leaving honestly lads me to believe this man will be here for awhile. As long as he keeps us up, he will be here until he is given money to spend and if he fails there, he will be gone. We might not like it but this is the reality.
It is absolutely the reality.
Taking hardnose decisions on the back room staff is also the start of actually fixing our structural problems.

Sorry?
So he has removed a member of the medical team (who he is directly responsible for) and this is a sign that he is immune to poor results?

Donachie got fired for trying to get calvert lewin into a spandex jump suit. He got injured and benitez went mad
The under Performance of this club goes back way before his arrival.
The medical team are part of the structural problem. A never ending injury list that never clears.
I don’t blame him at all for where we are. We have a squad that has no depth, a catastrophic injury list, no transfer budget and an academy that has failed to produce enough first team players. After eleven games, none of that is his fault.
Silk purse, sows ear etc.

Hopefully Donachie is the first of, the happy to be here clique, to go, they’ve got too used to the good life at Finch Farm without giving any thought to the consequences of Everton FC, maybe one or two removables from the top end of the boardroom will follow.

Pretty bleak that the expectation of the manager is reduced to "just keep us up"
not even totally his fault but grim none the less

It does but they ignore it, which shows how weak the argument against Rafael is, the previous 18 months was some of the worst football and results we have seen in the last 15 years, he has come in off the back of that to a club that has little going on behind the scenes and a vast histoty of medical probems too.

His remit surely must be to improve our performance and get us to consistently challenge for silverware and obtain European football.
Can he realistically do that this season? With all the first team fit, I'd be looking at qualifying for Europe as a minimum. If he is missing players then this will be difficult but mid-table and clear signs of improvement throughout the squad and in the overall club organisation would be acceptable for me; and then next year he'd have to deliver something substantial.
My expectations and I hope most Evertonians are not just to stay up. If he is fighting relegation battles then even with our current injuries, he should be gone.

That's not the argument though is it?
People don't like him because he is a Liverpool legend. That's all it is, that's all it needs to be.

Correct, which is pathetic, just like worshiping a Chelsea legend, even though he was terrible for us. All that should count is Everton, our club and our future.

Can he realistically do that this season? no, not a chance, and nobody but a fool would expect him to do so with our squad and the 1.7m budget to spend. This season is a transitional season, its about Rafael setting himself up for the next 3 years, we need stability, the chopping and changing of managers for a mid table team can not work, its ok Chelsea doing it with a CL squad but not us.

That should be the way anyhow. You don't hire someone frivolously and then fire them 11 games in while we are midtable costing us what, 10 million?
We are not Watford and whether people like him or not he should be given a fair crack at the job. If you have someone who is unquestionably a step up waiting in the wings like Spurs did that might be a different thing but we've seen from Villa the pool of managers that we would be looking at and that isn't inspiring to say the least.

Imagine if we were stupid enough to sack him and pay him off 10 million, the pay off would be 5x more then the summer budget haha
some of the people who think his job isnt rock solid safe understand nothing about the business and money side of football
