Summer transfer window 2023

Little optimistic, lower I would say.

Would look a lot worse if you took out the multiple votes of Ben Killwright and Bony Tellew.

We need Moshiri and Kenwright to sod off and someone to actually start running us like a top flight club. Whilst those two massive bellends are at the helm we haven't got a chance in hell of having any kind of coherent plan.

Absolutely
I think we have to get through at least another season of them though

Nil optimism

Probably and then they'll have to sell on the cheap anyway because as things stand there's no way we'll be 3rd time lucky with this squad. It's absolutely fkin abysmal.

"They're close but I don't know how close"

One of the biggest blaggers out there. Still gets his info from teletext lol

 

[blue to the bone]

[maccavennie]

Surprise me

Close, but how close i have no idea because I've just completely made up the suggestion we are close to anything because I'm an attention seeking twitter bellend

You’re using an example from nearly 20 years ago with Moyes, football has moved on completely since then. Even then we only ever got marginally closer to winning a trophy than Brighton have now, they were in the FA Cup semis this year and are in Europe as we were under Moyes. So it’s a completely different model but with the same results. Most people accepted we’d hit the glass ceiling under Moyes as well, none of us were sat there thinking we could actually challenge at the top.

However football has or hasn’t moved on, Building your entire operating model around immediately selling any good player you have and refreshing your team on an annual basis has never worked.

Everton can massively improve how it operates without having to copy everything Brighton do. The principle of buying low and selling high isn’t something they’ve invented. We’ve not even been that bad at it ourselves as seen with Gueye Digne Richarlison Gordon. Everton’s main problems have been with managerial instability, crippling injuries, buying players with poor attitude, and falling foul of financial regs whilst building a stadium. We can fix a lot of those without redesigning the ethos of our entire club to copy Brighton.


If in a few seasons Brighton are ensconced in the CL positions with numerous trophies in their cabinet I’ll quite happily come on here and say I was wrong. If they’re back in mid table with nothing to show for it then it’s not been sustainable has it.

Was this taken before or after the Young signing?

 

[Librarian]

Oooooh you’re a miserable bunch

 

[DanB90]

Surprise me

CHEERS AL!

 

[Librarian]

We’re by far the closest team, the world has ever seen

tbf, after watching Godfrey attempt to play left back again against a 2nd division Swiss farming team, I thought to myself "Young will walk into this Everton team".

The survey is very predictable. The club know that pessimism has taken hold and they’ve done nothing whatsoever to address it. It’s making it even more difficult to sign players I imagine

A big signing on June 1st or even a professional looking board appointment or announcement of investment could have moved the dial in the right direction. Instead we just look like a club waiting to be relegated.
