What? They activated a buy-back clause; there was literally nothing we as a club could do about it.
Yes just swap Unsworth for flathead and give it a go before we end up in a relegation battle!
Thought this for a while and if you look at the appointment of Koeman in this light, it makes perfect sense. An average manager who looks comfortable dealing with sell to buy and still producing a good league finish. A new version of Kenwright's David Moyes.
That's why this international break has come at a great time for Koeman, the dust settles, we beat Brighton, everyone forgets what they were fuming about, until we lose again that is.....then we fume all over again.
And this is what the EPL has become.
A cash cow for fourteen owners and thirteen sets of fans.
Sadly I am having now to subscribe to this "top six" theory.
They are now in a league of their own.
The fourteen other owners are accepting of this and their only aim is to stay in the top flight.
Most of them do not even want to finish 7th in case they get into the Europa League and screw up their survival chances the following season.
The fans of thirteen of these clubs are totally cool with this idea.
The Stokies, the Baggies, the Sainties, the Barcodies and the rest of them are four square with owners for whom merely staying in the EPL is the ends in itself.
"Oh how spiffing.....I can go down Vicarage Road this afternoon and buy a half and half scarf because Man. Utd./ Arsenal/ Chelsea is in town....I hope we can keep the score respectable, eh wot".
And then there is us.
The good old Evertonians whom steadfastly refuse to accept second class status and will continue to rail against the complacency and downright apathy at the rotten core of our beloved club.
Every last one of us on here, be they grizzled old unreconstructed Blues from the 60s and 70s, children of the glittering 80s, survivors of Wimbledon Day and grateful to Gareth Farrelly or just plain old innocent Millennials whom were brainwashed by family members like me to become part of our footballing family........we ain't having it.
We will never willingly accept the glass ceiling nor will we sit and mildly applaud the absolute dross we are supposed to gratefully receive

On this season's performances well be lucky to get a draw at Brighton .We are really that bad mate.
Don't think anyone should doubt this Lou.
But the one thing I won't 'entirely' blame RK for is the striker.
That's massively down to the board and Walsh imo. Koeman asked (publicly and clearly privately) ever since May for that issue to be addressed.
But we don't create clear chances anyway, so not sure what good it would do.
what if the coach who has no senior experience doesn't improve us Joey? What then?

A lot of the papers saying today he's one or two games away from the sack?
What do you reckon?

The issue is not whether we sack him now or at Christmas....the issue is who is available to replace him. And the fact of the matter is Ancelotti has just become available. It would be another massive mess up if they sack Koeman later on only for Ancelotti to have got a job elsewhere.

What's Ancelotti's record like with clubs not filled with superstar players, I've never really rated him myself.
No chance mate. Just my opinion like, but he'll be given till at least Christmas to try and turn it round.

It isn't a lack of money that is holding us back.
And the reason why Spurs are so far ahead of us isn't because they've spent so much more than us. It'd have been an even more ridiculous orgy of fume on here all summer if we'd had the same transfer window they just had.
