Relegation 2022/23

[Carlito]

That was in relation to the jibes at Martinez. As others pointed out the 17th place was always as worse as it was going to get that season.

Well, it took long enough, but I'm glad you've finally admitted it.

You were good value in the plotters days, but seeing you attempt to beat your chest about a club that's been cashing Premier League cheques since day one somehow avoiding last-minute relegation escapes is just sad. It also completely ignores the fact that we were perennial candidates for the drop under Smith, hence him being sacked despite Kenwright's reluctance.

I also believe we would have continued moving steadily down the table under Martinez, but there's no proving that and it doesn't really matter now.

What hurts me as a fan of over 50 years, is my own apathy. It's been coming for a while now.
I don’t back us to be able to beat any premiership club, they all seem better to me.
I think all I've seen this last six months is the last 10 minutes against Chelsea.
I watch other clubs progress and the game is in big peril, Man City, now Newcastle ploughing money into the league, we were at that also.
Realistically other clubs are "also rans".
Players making millions when many couldn't lace the boots of players 25 years ago.
It's all a bit of a shitshow now imo.

Burnley have completely overhauled their squad, it is now a million miles better than ours. McNeil who’s been one of our “better” players wouldn’t get anywhere near this current Burnley side.

You’re not wrong , They sold 3 or 4 tickets players for about £70m and then brought about 14 in and rebuilt the side . Who are we selling and who are we allowing to do this restructuring and rebuild whilst we pay the current jokers north of £140 m a year.

From a footballing perspective The future is terrifying , i’ve got news for anyone who sees relegation as a glimpse of light at the end of a tunnel . It’s a speeding train

all day it’s killed us now

just another club that used to be in the

i’m prem and we’re good years n years ago

i’m angry now

 

[paultheblue]

I agree the squad is an issue but other clubs have been able to bring in players without paying ridiculous wages and fees we have to realise we are no longer an elite club and won't be again until we get the basics right.
I think we could get funds with the following sales.
Pickford 35m
Onana 35m
Keane 10m
Holgate 2m
Gana 2m
Iwobi 10m
Maupay 3m
Gray 10m
DCL 15m
Doucoure 10m
Godfrey 5m
Then trust in the manager to get his own replacements

I forgot McNiel 8m

After watching each and every relegation team in action of that last batch of games each and every one of them has the ability to look devastating in attack apart from us. If they need to throw caution to the wind in the last few games they'll score, if we do the same we won't.

 

[Toffee-nerd]

Everyone saying there's a chance if we beat leicester. They're also in the bottom 3, it's firmly out of our hands now. Even if we did somehow put a run together, beating leicester probably means we finish 18th not 19th. Yay.

We got rid of every player with the ability to provide quality into the box or beat a man and our best finisher in Richy. The quality of recruitment since has been nothing short of appalling. I can’t think of any other team in the league with anything approaching as terrible a squad as we have. We deserve to go down unfortunately.

We need to find 3 wins I reckon. Not happening whatsoever.

 

[neil999]

Well I bet Watford and Norwich are doing well this season,so that gives us hope! An exciting play off match maybe!*checks table*

Hello darkness my old friend.....

Lol

I reckon we’re in for it down there. We’ll be selling off our ‘best’ players. God knows what sort of team we’ll be putting out come the new EFL season lol

Selling Richarlison and then Gordon with no replacements was stupid on top of stupid - what did we think was going to happen - exactly what we got last night and all season, we cant score or create unless a defender comes up with a screamer, or gets on the end of a corner, or Mc Neill scores from a corner or 30 yards out.

 

[Bluelenny1984]

Can’t wait for July when Ipswich smash us 4-0 at Goodison and we start with deducted points.

Why?? Strange comment really. No matter what Everton are I never want us to lose

i think he’s got a point about fans who clapped kenwright though , even now there’s people defending him like how much more can this fella get away with

I get it, but people are entitled to there opinions just cause it doesn't match our own doesn't make it wrong. And it certainly doesn't make it there fault that this board has driven us in to the abyss.

I get we are all hurting right now, but I'll never agree that a simple clap weather misplaced or not has got us to this point.

Pretty much this.
