I agree its not going well -

lollollol

but my argument is who can make things any better?

You reckon we could get any worse?

Yes an Alladyce or Pulis could come in to "stabilise" us - but no one wants that 95% of our fans were made up when Alladyce went.

Calm heads and patience must prevail.

Allardyce had Gueye Rooney DCL, a decent Tom Davies, 50 million to spend, and turned out turgid football so bad he was fired after 6 months.

and some people want him back to manage these clowns? Go for it, why not, let’s go fully into Dante’s circle of hell, as if it’s not been bad enough already, let’s get Sam Allardyce and Sammy Lee back.

Amazing in game management.

Give a young striker a run out
Switch formation
Bring Delph on and push Doucoure further forward
Continuously switch the ineffective Iwobi from no.10 to winger whilst aimlessly punting the ball up field

This is why he should have never been hired.

No point in sacking him and keeping Brands, Unsworth, Ferguson etc

One of the weirdest shouts I've ever heard, for all sorts of reasons

 

[Toast]

Only Gordon and Godfrey man enough to walk within 50 yards of the away end. Says a lot about the other “men” in that squad.

There is no connection with the fans anymore.
We don’t like them, and I’d say most of them don’t like us either.

Sad, but true.

He only supports wretched kopite rats, he’d be happy for this pig to take us into championship

Benitez deserves criticism - but not as much as the players and, especially, the board.

I'd sack Benitez in the morning if it meant we were also sacking Brands, Baxendale, Kenwright, and everybody up to Moshiri. In the absence of the required clearout, I see zero point in sacking the manager. He hasn't been backed. Getting rid will solve no long-term issues in the absence of a total purge. Putting hangers-on of dubious repute in charge, such as Ferguson, Unsworth, or Baines, would be window-dressing of the lowest kind and hasten total demise. It'll make a few sentimental types feel better for a few days, but nothing will be solved in the medium term.

At this point, I don't care about relegation. I was terrified of it under Smith, Kendall, Moyes, Martinez, Koeman, and Silva. We made the changes we had to make, albeit too late, in most cases. But I've seen that avoiding relegation to simply make up the numbers and repeat the process is the very definition of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. It's the very definition of madness. An Everton that truly competes for titles and trophies is worth preserving. An Everton that just wants to make up the numbers might as well be relegated. The club needs a total reset. Relegation would, if nothing else, bring that evil day forward to finally be confronted. We could do a Sunderland or we could renew. No guarantees. But I am past caring. We've had over 30 years on life support. Pulling the plug might at least offer the faint hope of an after-life.

Disgusting sentiments throughout that abomination of a post

We're definitely at the "throw [Poor language removed] against the wall and see what sticks" phase now.

Sad, but true.

There is a total disconnection within every single aspect of the club

 

[Calvin Aldi]

Brentford could barely string 2 passes together and hoofed it every time they got the ball. Getting beat by them is embarrassing.

 

[TheBigIguana]

If we're firing him it has to be for a long term replacement. Someone with a plan and vision who will be given ample time to fix it. The club has to be open about the longer term nature of it so the fans understand why we do things like go to Chelsea and get slaughtered while trying to play and get better.

None of this will happen so Benitez stays until we're prepared to do it.

 

[DanEFC92]

Tell em Yannick.

Wonder what the goodison bum boys have got to say over on ToffeeTV. Suppose they’re still supporting this tit because they’re so far up the clubs arse they don’t want to upset the paymasters
