Regrets?

[CielosGrises]

There are plenty of Kenwright haters around but the club felt quite lean and focused when him and Moyes were running the show - now it is quite flabby and a bit lazy - throw money around for mediocrity. It felt that way from the minute we spent £25m on Bolasie - an unimaginitive, overpriced signing - suddenly the money was there but we weren't spending on better players.

I regret that Moyes left at the wrong time, I think if he had dovetailed with Moshiris money we'd be doing better.

If we get BMD it will be worth it though, so no regrets.

We are in a worse place than when he took over and have been consistently in that worse place since the Iranian clown walked through the door.

No wonder he was sidelined and laughed at while at arsenal.

He's a car crash and is destroying the club.

I regret him ever even considering buying us.

Martinez should have had another season, remember Moyes finishing 17th then 4th.

No, no he shouldn’t

I'm so beyond caring about the modern game it counts for nothing. I'm past the point where my happiness relies on things out of my control, revolving around a bunch of millionaire mercenaries hoofing a bladder around a rectangle slightly less well than another bunch if millionaire mercenaries.

The only regret I have can be traced back to the rebranding into the Premier league and then Sky's involvement. I lost my sport in those days. Now I simply follow a business out of sentimentality as I embrace Taoism.

I'm much the same. I follow Everton because you stick with your team, but I'm not sure I'd encourage my child to support them if I had one.

Realistically without Moshiri we'd be relegated by now. Yes we've made some major errors (in hindsight) but you also have to look at the other teams surrounded by cash in the Premier League.

No regrets.

We'd finished fifth a couple of years before he arrived. Why would we have been relegated?

The way the players effectively downed tools on him was disgraceful.

 

[dead_soft]

Is this the season the sack the board banners come back?

I really, really, hope so. And all the cap doffers shuffle out of the ground

He was sidelined because Kroenke is a control freak, same reason why he’s knocked back a 2bn offer to buy the club from the Spotify guy

He’s not destroying the club at all, that’s ridiculously overdramatic. If he was we’d be doing flash sales on the squad right about now and have a debt bill the size of Barca’s

We are in a much better place than we were before Moshiri arrived...my only regrets are around the money wasted on crap players......

The entire league has changed since then, money is far more valuable than what it was back then. We finished 5th when it was a top 4, not a top 7. We've went backwards with money, imagine where we'd be without it.

Regrets possibly. The new stadium is very important for the progression of Everton and it looks like it has been done in the correct way. So Moshiri deserves credit for that.

Football wise it has been a disaster and there has been some mad crazy decisions being made. Everton undoubtedly has lost its identity playing wise and are now seen as a soft touch. Evertonian prided its itself on being a hard side to beat, aggressive and Goodison a very difficult play to go. Some up and at em football mixed with good attractive positive football. It was the right mix for the club and the fans at goodison. A great challenge was applauded as much as a great piece of play. Both appreciated.

That's gone. And the managers who moshiri brought in did not suit that style. None if them. That's his downfall. Martinez spoke about changing the playing mentality of Everton to possession football. It wont work for Everton. It's not about going direct but play needs to be of a high intensity on and off the ball. That's where the club has failed and will continue to do so until they bring in someone who demands his set of players to up their intensity on a weekly basis especially at home. Evertonians will accept slightly different tactics away from home but and aggressive goodison is our identity and that needs to be brought into the new stadium.

Five and a half years on from Moshiri taking over Everton we are at a stage where a despised ex Liverpool manager who called us a small club is to take over a squad with overpaid players signed by five different managers, while the team remains mid table.

The overwhelming narrative from fans was that Everton just need investment from a wealthy owner and success would follow, instead some say it has been a toxicity brought into the club alienating the players further from the fans. The same fans that others are saying are the tail that wags the Everton dog into making rash decisions.

After Allardyce representing the club and Sammy Lee on the touch line I wonder if this latest humiliation makes some feel regret.

Is this the same set of fans who are seemingly willing to put aside their principles and hire a man who openly mocked us while managing our illustrious rivals?

The same set of fans who are putting their faith in a man who hasn’t managed outside of China since 2019, took Newcastle down to the Championship, and has since been bettered by Steve Bruce?

This is worse than the Allardyce for the simple fact that large sections of the fans actually want Benitez.

 

[Kaiser Soysauce]

When Moshiri arrived - Haha Billionaires lad!!

Steve Walsh - He won the premier league title by himself for Leicester

Koeman - Yeah , he is a superstar.

Brands - He takes what he wants

We have acted like bells so the football GOD's are punishing us.

We need to repent and take our medicine.

@chicoazul you heard rumours about Brands walking from your source?

It certainly is a strange one. Our neighbours have been bells for decades and the football gods have graced them with CL trophies and a PL trophy!!

 

[mahermi1]

No regrets as long as he builds the stadium, the stadium we were never, ever going to get under Bill. Desperately need our actual footballing fortunes to improve drastically though, can't blame Moshiri's for lack of investment or backing his managers, that's the problem, too many managers, too many wrong choices.

Do you feel a strong connection to your fellow Evertonians these days?
