Relegation 2022/23

[FOXINPEACE]

You have played well recently. You actually create chances and should have won at Leeds if Vardy could keep onside.

Maddison is a Champions League level player, Barnes too. Even Soyuncu looks like he might have started to play well again. You will be fine.

We could've won but we also could've lost it if Bamford could score from 2 yards out. I think it's easy to look at other sides and not see their flaws when your own team is struggling. We've played better but that's only because we couldn't really get much worse. This will come down to mentality and that's what worries me.

We do have more game winners I agree but will they turn up?

Hope we both somehow stay up

Back to needing other results going our way. Leeds and Forest to lose against Bournemouth and Brentford.

Then down to us on Monday.

The last sentence there is the really scary one.

It's better getting it over with this season as if we stay up we are down next season anyway. Start the reset early and maybe start bmd with a feel good factor if we get promotedv

There’s more important things in this fight than a typo. Get a life. We are on the cusp of going into administration, but yeah get the name of a player in that bunch of cheats right. Weird looking mercenary is that Harpland

It was very much tongue in cheek Gordon. Chill your bad England beans pal. Administration you say

 

[Drico]

The club needs burning down. Business as usual will not survive relegation, so that's a comfort - because we have been living a delusion since the start of the Premier League era.

Bill Kenwright was the fourth member of Electronic: He's been "Getting Away With It" all his life. But not anymore...

 

[Bluelenny1984]

The basic facts are simple, we can't score and we can't defend with 5 games to go we are where we are supposed to be. New manager bounce was brief and ineffective, and Dyche has run out of ideas. If we stay up it won't be because we dug ourselves out, purely down to other teams failing worse than we have.

It's been said on this board many times in the last 24 hours, if we don't go down this year it will only be next. This squad needs an overhaul (AGAIN!!!) and with little money that isn't going to happen.

The board are to blame, sending us in to the season after selling our only goal scoring players in Richarlson and Gordon without replacement is criminal!! We are reaping what they sowed!

Shocking performance again last night.
It's a pity that the powers that be didn't apply themselves to the last transfer window as they did to arranging banners, fireworks and coach welcome last night. Up until last night I thought there was hope, now I have none. We are doomed to relegation. Apart from all our other deficiencies we simply can't score enough goals to stay up.
Truly

I’m just curious as to what people have witnessed in the last 5 games that thought we could either get something out of Newcastle or stay up

The squad is absolute dross and the manager is a one dimensional, favourite picking, hoofball manager

I was just riding high on vibes

….I just feel so sad for our fans. They have been badly let down by those who have grossly mismanaged our club.

The fans will still be here next season and seasons after, we should do all we can to ensure Moshiri, Kenwright, the Board and Thelwell are not.

Good luck all, you deserve so much better.

I understand the sentiment, but some of the fans had their own part to play in this. Those among us who clapped Kenwright on the Jumbotron as Barry Horne waxed lyrical were the harbingers of low standards, pious complacency ("that's Kopite behaviour"), and fellow-travellers of managed decline.

And that's before we talk about those who were wildly off the mark in hyping up players (and some managers) who were incredibly out of their depth - and demonstrably so over time.

As I said, we can all wash our hands, but the club - all of us - needs to take a good look in the mirror. This has been coming for a while.

There's no way we'll get promoted out of the Championship with this shower. Mid table at best. We could be down there for many years.

This was my argument for him being the wrong manager

Again, extremely short sightedness from the board that are unable to read the room and see the mess we are in

 

[Bluelenny1984]

Its the hope

It's the hope that kills you mate!!

I think if we are all honest with ourselves, nobody is really surprised. Never mind the last 5 games mate this has been years in the making and clear to see for at least the last 2 years.

But this club means alot to people, it's not just a club it's family, people can't just believe it's fallen the way it has weather it was clear to see or not.

It’s comparing chalk and cheese when you talk about Ipswich and everton though…I feel the very fabric of this club is identifiable with being in the top league and our fanbase is enormous.

Saying that - the premier league is a miserable place to be in when you are hampered by lack of money and it feels we have always been one season away from potential chaos for a while.

If you could tell me, we will get in a new progressive manager, we will have a long term identity and have a squad full of hungry young players with a bit of quality, we will gut these dreadful cowards from the club (on and off pitch) then I’d swallow my pride and take relegation on the chin. No one has a divine right to stay in any league and we certainly deserve to go down.

The problem lies in the prospect of everton being in such a dire financial situation that we go into administration/cease to exist as a functioning football club…all with a massive new stadium being built…and the likelihood is that the board don’t go and keep moving from one bad short term decision to another.

This. This. This.

You are not wrong or bad for wanting to see your team win games and have something you can identify with.

This current charade that Is Everton isn't the one anyone of us fell in love with is it.

There won´t be a BM if we get relegated.
