Only our fanbase could throw so much criticism at new owners weeks into their time in charge, who have taken decisive action with a flailing manager who had checked out, and seemingly have a replacement and plan in place in advance, and have an idea of what they want to do longer term.

Now, you can feel underwhelmed with it, and disappointed its not more ambitious (I am), but without knowing what alternatives there were immediately available and wanting to come - probably very few, possibly none - it's a decisive plan that has been executed pretty swiftly.

I think you perhaps misunderstood me a bit or I'm misunderstanding you. I am in fact agreeing with you here, ha.

I went on ad nauseam yesterday essentially in support of a move like this to get us through the rest of this season. I am not underwhelmed with that. I argued until I couldn't take it any more that the people who were freaking out over them not bringing in some genius, up-and-coming wunderkind in January who could then lead us to the promised land over the next multiple seasons were extremely misguided at best, because that just almost certainly wasn't possible - no matter who the owner is. The over-the-top criticism of a group who's been in control for less than a month (talk of this being worse than anything Moshiri did, etc. etc.) was quite nonsensical to me.

But I did take that stance with the expectation that they had bigger plans for after this season. That now seems to be in question. That's the part I'm saying would be something of a disappointment.

I'd just about accept it for 6 months, after that no I wouldn't take it because we are going nowhere with Moyes as manager. We need to enter the modern football age, get a top class DOF in and appoint a progressive coach. That's the only way we are going to get any success. We are wasting the next 2 years with Moyes as manager if he's on a 2.5 year contract.

You’d “just about accept” European finishes at Everton for 6 months? What kinda entitled fan are you 😂
 

we were a mess before moyes the first time and he sorted us out and left us in a great position to move on from. martinez 1st season aside we didnt kick on. we are a mess again now so lets hope he similarly stabilises us and this time we can move to another level with the right up and coming manager after him

In some ways yes but we are 1 point above the relegation zone at the minute. The objective this season will purely be stay in the league which I know it shouldn’t be, but that’s where we are after a manger that has won us 3 games all season and 8 in a 12 month period.

I agree with your last sentence, I just disagree that you need one man for the first objective, staying in the league, and a different one for the more long term goals. Not if you have competent people running a football club. The question is, do we?

Someone new, with fresh ideas. Not a sixty one year old former manager who will manage slightly less defensively than Sean Dyche for a minimum 18 months. New owners and a new stadium was supposed to be the start of a new era. Doesn't feel like a new era, Matty.

it doesn’t mate and i ageee new era new start etc - and we haven’t got the exotic sexy manager who plays footy better then pep

the plans had to change so the original plan TFG had has had to
 

His WH teams scored a bunch and couldn't defend a lick. For the time being this would be totally fine. For the love of gawd I just want to see an Everton goal again.
