Well i didn't assert they didn't make any such gap up, I merely asked the question whether they had. But the important thing to note there was that the low hanging fruit to pluck was WHU...and the low hanging fruit this time is Man Utd.

Big difference in terms of how those two teams will finish off any season, dont you agree?

Was just answering mate, had no idea how much theyd made up till i looked into it anyways - just knew the finished incredibly last season

Doubt any team has a prayer of catching the top 6 whose out of it atm, unless they capitalise on them knocking each other off which would requirre turning them over ourselves - which is not too likely obviously

Saints did catch united by 6, Arsenal by 10, Spurs by 5, the rs by 9, City by 12 as well though though over those 18 games last season mate

This season looks like all 6 have real belief in them though - but will be surprised if none of them drop off the pace and all 6 keep up this form

Come on Davek. You know quite well I am not comparing them as people. I am saying that Howard didn't say anything to the press but still bought 7 players and got rid of a few. His actions are basically the same as Koemans apart from Koeman stating what he was/is going to do. The actions are still the same. They did not like what they inherited and went about change. If by saying some players have not got a future at Everton is the equal of throwing them under the bus by the shed full is correct then you have the right to think that but I certainly don't. To me he is doing a managers job by trying to make the team better and bowing to nearly all Evertonians to the ridding of deadwood. He has done nothing wrong there. But to imply that I was comparing Howard to Koeman in the terms you wrote is a low low blow.

It;s all about timing mate. The times when Koeman pipes up and throws his players to the dogs are when we've had a bad reversal and he's looking to deflect.

I cant abide that. Be a tough manager yes, but do it behind the scenes and if you do go public then hold up your hand too.

Heard enough from this feller to know he's not Everton class. Not one 'kin bit of him.

He's a cut above any one we have creatively.

hy did he not o it at Spurs? I dnt know. Why did Pienaar not do it there but did for us?

Pienaar was often played out of position from what i recall, he also didn't have a fullback close to Baines at that time playing thats side mate

You can use this season to blend players in and get them ready for next season

Maybe. But that should come secondary in our thinking to getting value for money. That hasn't been the case. Those positions should have been filled in the summer, but Koeman wouldn't wait. Well, his neck is on the chopping block if/when they go arse up.

I'd agree if he'd named names,but unless I've missed something he hasn't.
