I'm very pissed off with the board but equally at those getting the privilege of walking out at Goodison in blue shirts. Their work ethic is utterly disgusting.

I don't think you've given the board a fair chance, this current board anyhow. But time will tell, if in Feb we haven't improved by a couple of players (always a tough month no matter who you are) and then next September by a significant amount I'll be on board. But you should also consider the seasons that clubs who've tried to build a team in one window have had, compared to expectation. The three that come to mind are Liverpool post Suarez, Spurs Post Bale and City post takeover. All three came nowhere near fan expectation the following season, all three binned their manager within 16 months. Other examples at a lower level would be QPR and a few years ago now but Leicester tried it, the constant theme is a failure to meet expectation. Klopp has done the exact opposite, took 8 months to buy a player (Longer than Moshiri has been here) and just overseen a positive net spend summer window, yet look at him.

Throwing money at it straight away rarely gets you the expected results.

Lukaku won't wait around for 3 seasons for us to get it right. He'll be gone this season after we struggle. And then where do we go?
