Relegation

i stopped following when we (again) didn't appoint Dunc.

Not Even Arsed. In fact I think we need relegation, gives us - the club and the fans - a chance to reset. Been poison since the dodgy mosh got involved.
 
some reason I just can’t see us going down, only real reason is because we are Everton, Im clinging on to the law of averages theory that an unexpected win will pop up and we will get a few more and survive, if I give up all hope what’s the point of following football. If we go down we will all be here next season, just let’s hope we survive.
Mate, we are Everton but those clowns on the pitch just don't get it. I am really sickened by their abject performances.
 

Parachute payments means we're £40-60 million down the 1st season which is covered by selling DCL and Mina alone you imagine.

Richarlison and Pickford leave thats another what £80-90 million in the door.

Siggurdsson
Delph
Tosun
Kenny

All out of contract on top of James/Digne/Benards wages gone

Gbamin/Allan possibly gone

Not saying its ideal as obviously we are down on Cazoo/USM money also but if we recruited right in the summer we would be favourites to come back up.

I would argue paying someone like Big Samuel Alladyce to take the job on if Lampard went would have us favorities to win the league and be back up.

Its not the end of the road that some think it is - obviously its really bad timing and financially will hit us hard but providing we can wiggle around the EFL rules for this summer and bring a few lower PL quality players in to help bring us up I think we would be back rather quick unless we absolutely cocked the summer recruitment up (which isn't out the realms of possibility).
Suspect we're in for a rude awakening in terms of what we'll get for our players if they go down. Based on form, right now DCL isn't worth a bag of beans, and regardless of form, we're likely going to be selling all of these at massive discounts. It's bad.
 

but if we recruited right in the summer we would be favourites to come back up.
That half sentence alone.

Why do you think we are where we are?

When we go down , we aren't recruiting right in the summer. We couldn't recruit right 3 months ago and if we can't sign a competent premier league squad now, what chance have we actually got signing a competitive championship team?

People seem to forget that when we go down , we are left with our worst players in this squad , all our best players will leave. That isn't a good foundation to build on, that's why we would be relegated in the first place.
 
Great post. My friend Peter Farrell was devastated when we went down in 51. But he and the players rolled their sleeves up and we came back up. It took three years mind.

Shamrock Rovers were relegated because of crap ownership and an 8 points deduction. We came straight back up under fans' ownership and we are flying. 4 leagues and a Cup.

I just see nothing in this squad to see fight, passion, desire. It is like watching a loved one slowly dying. The worst thing is feeling helpless.

Nothing I can do to help this Club apart from buying merchandise and getting over for the odd match. I would love to give some of these players a piece of my Everton mind, but they would probably put it in their handbags.
Cheers fella, such a bitter pill to even think about isn't it. I was with my Dad attge weekend a few other Toffees and one or two of the other lot, collectively, even the other lot were totally baffled as to how we got to this point again, again collectively even the Red ones were saying it can't happen as it could be a fatal moment for the club.

I can't see us coming back from it, if it happens, huge total mismanagement from top down just don't have the acumen, balls etc to "manage" us back up.

I will defo get a couple if games in before season end, to try and lift them up with vocal support but at the same time, if they continue like they are I will be equally as vociferous in my criticism, most of em need to be told. I won't hold back.

You are right, the helplessness is hard to rationalise.

We will probably batter Utd now and then fail against the rest!

All the best fellow Toffee. Tomorrow's another day.
