Relegation 2022/23

[knowing your history]

Thirwell's connections stop at Wolverhampton. But I agree Dyche will look at cheaper players to fit his system.

Still won't mean we come back up.

There's also the FFP rules we've broken and the threat of going bankrupt too

Will have to see how that all plays out. Do the premier league just pass on the charge to football league in even of relegation or will any punishment be a suspended one until promotion back to premier league?

Last thing needed is a points deduction in FL and they tend to be sharper on it once clubs mess up as Wigan and Reading have found out recently which will mean relegations for both.

Everton's been a big part of my life, being born within earshot of the ground and me and my Nan going mad in the back yard when we heard a goal go in lol

My first match my dad took me to is still with me as though it was yesterday, and my first season ticket was the best pressie I've ever had, I used it every week too, even though I hated the enclosure for the reserve gameslol

Never has the whole club stunk as much as this, it's not Everton any more for me. We're a shadow of the club we were even in the darkest days of the past. The last 5 or 6 years have been sickening to see, epitomised by today, getting battered by Fulham and we turn to the likes of Davies, Simms and Patterson to steady the ship. Not their fault though, they shouldn't be here, as should neither of about 6 of today's starting 11.

I've been through the "cash strapped Everton days" but there was always hope, there's none here now because of how the club has been run over the last 6 years and how it seems it'll be continued it's run this way.
I'm glad in a way I feel like this now because it's not bad luck we're in the drop zone, it's because we're a joke of a club with an horrific premiership squad.
If we go down we go down and we'll have deserved it. I feel as though the weight has been lifted and really just want this season over with.

BMD is all well and good but I'd rather have Goodison and a proper Everton team and board any day of the week. I can't imagine the implications for us if we do drop, it'll be catastrophic. Glass half full up until now but boy it's grim, and I don't just mean because we're 17th.

I concur with everything you have said here, especially, for me, the dark days of the 90s. There was always hope in those days. The team dug in at the right time to lift us out of the doo doo! I think the premier league is harder nowadays and a fair amount of corruption taints the waters which makes it harder for certain clubs. I think you have to be a really well-run entity to keep your nose clean nowadays. It's becoming fairly apparent some fatal errors of judgment have occurred within the hierarchy of Everton during the Moshiri era. It's hard to see a way out of it for now, for sure. It's frustrating because that stadium looks mighty impressive. Gives you goosebumps when you drive past it.

My worry, as it has been since that week before the World Cup, is that the fans don't have the energy to do what they did last year. And without the fans, this team would have been relegated 12 months ago.

Manager can't have another day like today. Set us up wrong, got a couple of personnel decisions wrong, and then took an age to make some progressive (that's being polite) subs. The latter is habit of his and it's costing us points I'm afraid.

All we need is a new owner and 22 new players and we'll be fine.

This is brilliant

It’s come down to the Leicester game for me…………lose it, we’re done………win it, we’re still in with a chance

Almost certainly means we will stay down. There hasn't been a team come up playing crap football in years. Has probably contributed to why we have slipped down the table so much.

The useless ppl up there were ditching. If they sacked Lampard before WC and hired Dyche we would be safe by now.

 

[blue to the bone]

Can’t just be writing off 7 games. There’s still time to get out of this. The players have to fight though like they were before. Unforgivable to just be sleepwalking through games.

Agreed . Plenty left to fight for . Last season showed that. The worry though is how bad our last 2 performances have been

Draw it !

The only VERY faint glimmer of hope that I cling to is that - assuming Forest lose to Man U - Everton still control their own fate. And that's at least...something.

We get relegated...any punishment would get implemented if we got back into the premiership.

The EFL will be licking their lips if we go down

This

Begović

Coleman Keane Tarkowski Mykolenko

McNeil Doucouré Gana Garner Gray

Gyökeres

That team would finish about 13th down there.

Not a fan of "playing good football" for the sake of it. It's about winning games.

Nice one. Agree about BMD too, it's incredible.
Just a shame we couldn't build a team as good as we could build a stadium.
The future of BMD is now on shakey ground for not getting it right on the pitch, squandering hundreds of millions on crap whilst also falling foul of FFP.
We've also got rid of our best players and went in to this season a weaker squad than last. What did the Richarlison and Digne money buy us? It's unfathomable.
