So that sequence under Moyes you would class as failure indicating a trend toward disaster?

Under Martinez you seem to me to try to pass it off as some sort of progression?

Forgive me if i`m struggling with the logic of that...

No it wasn't a trend toward disaster under Moyes...not any season past the 2003/04 season. We haven't been in that sort of trouble since and we won't be for the foreseeable either.

Didn't have to relegate us mate. He ballsed it up that much he had a player rebellion on his hands that if he hadn't bent the knee to he'd have had a squad completely unmotivated for the following season, and that would have been fatal for us at the time.

And he still managed to finish 4th after all that, wow what a manager

I dont think that has much bearing on attitudes if we reach Wembley.

If we go further in this cup and keep the New Year form up - where we've only lost 4 times in 14 games - then it's easily enough to settle things down.

Next season: start with a new keeper and strengthen that defence further and we're in business. There's not an awful lot wrong here. the football can be superb and we're scoring bucket loads.

Why would a manager who obviously doesn't know or care how to defend worry about defensive improvements?

We just need more goals

39 goals conceded in the first season he had here....oh aye, sorry, that was with the aid of spreading Moyes' magic defensive beans over the 18 yard box at Goodison wasn't it?

Disagree. I have been a regualr attendee supporting some absolutely garbage teams over here. When things aren't going well in a game that's when the fans are suppose to try to help lift the team...not lift the opponent.

Which games ? Who ? perhaps its a different game where you are - here it works both ways - the crowd give the players vocal support but they get frustrated at games being lost or drawn when we patently should have won..can I ask a question in good faith? are you an exiled Blue or are you a guy/gal who fell in love with EFC ? Ta xx
 

Leicester- Ranieri
West Ham- Bilic
Newcastle- Benitez

Us- Donk the clown

And we wonder why we are falling behind the middle pack now, if we don't cut our losses soon we'll be another Villa, they kept Paul Lambert years too many and the slide began there.

This thread's going as planned after one day then...

Here's a scenario I've just made up (bit of fun, fume at it if you have to).

The Everton board are rocked by the 14/15 season. They have huge talents like Barkley and Stones and the premier league is finally in a state of open turmoil after Ferguson's resignation and Ciry keeping a big side out the top 4 every year. Despite this we are in a relegation battle and finish bottom half. Kenwright has watched Moyes control everything for 11 years on a low bet spend, now suddenly players aren't happy and are making it vocal, 30 mill was spent on a striker and we went backwards.

Kenwright being the man he is though decides to give Roberto the benefit of the doubt. The 15/16 season starts but the old habits creep in. There's fan discontent at the board that Roberto's failings are antagonising, there's fan discontent at the manager in unprecedented never before seen levels, we're still bottom half despite a number of new players coming in. The defence is getting worse and player unrest is in the air again.

Kenwright is watching all this in shock but is also working on the investment deal with Moshiri. Can he really hand over Everton to this new combo of manager and owner?

Not knowing what to do he puts in a phonecall to his best friend in football. They never stopped talking. 'David what do I do?'. Suddenly Moyes is available though. The job at Villa, turned down. West Ham, turned down. Swansea, turned down. Sunderland, turned down. Newcastle, turned down. Moyes openly admits though that he's turning down offers from Europe as he eyes a return to the premier league, but at what club? Baines Jags Mirallas are on the phone to him 'what's happened to our form gaffer'. And then in a few rare to interviews he starts dropping subtle references 'Everton would be a great club to go back to'.

Moshiri wants a manager popular with the fans to cement his new ownership and restore solid league form. He's no expert in managerial hiring from his time at Arsenal so leaves it to Bill.

He makes one final call on the last day of the 15/16 season after an embarassing finish of 13th. 'Please come home David', 'Aye Chairman'.

Think about it. Think about it. It could happen.

It's confirmed. You're off your rocker.
