Since Dyche took over no other team in the bottom 12 has piled more points up than Everton. Only Wolves matched us.

Even slipping off that standard a bit will eventually see us safe.

I always use the 1 point per game theory (1.00 PPG) which would obviously give us 38 points by the end of the season. We are currently 2 points behind this but a win on Monday would see us on 29 points from 29 games and back on track....

Just read that Chelsea paid £21m to buy out Potter’s Brighton contract, and then just paid £60m to sack him and his team. :eek:

Does that money factor into their FFP/P&L calculations?

Probably but they’ll make all of that back and more when they sell Pulisic, Mount, Lukaku, Ziyech, Gallagher, Aubameyang, Maatsen, Hudson-Odoi, Bakayoko and Sarr in the summer.

I'm thinking that too.
I dont know if he has it in him for a relegation scrap. He's had a tough few years and didn't fancy the job initially.

Getting shut of the manager you got in to get you out of trouble would be a massive call. It could happen still though...and I wouldn't discount it happening at Leeds either.

Indeed, he’d be an idiot to jump into a relegation battle with Leicester after Chelsea. It would be a gamble too far…..just wait, rest on a sunny beach, count your money, see what happens, get the PR lads to rebuild the reputation and then look around in the summer…

He's supposed to be 'drained' as well isn't he?

What a conman held look like if he took another job straight away.

Villa has scored more but they are the only team in the bottom 12 that has. Bournemouth has scored only 1 less point than Everton in the same time period so I wouldn't be too confident of having a comfort zone to be able to see the standard slip. Also, it is difficult to see Leicester continue their awful form, particularly now they have got rid of BR. As I said in Jan, I think Dyche is the best chance for Everton to avoid the drop but I think you need to maintain current form and can't let it drop or EFC may drop too

I think the timing of the World Cup has thrown people.

We are in April but there is still a quarter of the season left.

Yes that's probably a fair point. But as I said a while ago, I cant think of many examples where guys have come in, with 10 games to go and turned it around. I seem to remember Hodgson and a string of other Watford managers messing it up, but that may be a Watford thing.

I actually looked at Hodgson and Allardyce recently, and typically they require 6-10 games to embed methods before results then kick in, but that often also needs a transfer window.

Intuitively it feels risky to me, and all I can say is I'm glad we are not doing it.

The quarter of a season point is a reasonable one, but I do think time on the training field matters too, especially with no ability to change personnel.

The Leicester sacking I'm happy about, I felt Rodgers was very likely to keep them up, but now I'm not sure. I look at Palace getting Hodgson, and sort of think theres not a huge amount out there, and ultimately why would you risk your reputation with a relegation if you are a good young coach, when you can probably wait to the summer?

Benitez like Hodgson probably does ok somewhere though. At West Ham I think he would be a decent fit.
