Will next season be a write off?

[tommye]

Like every one of the last 25 or so years have been?

I ain't seen anything yet to convince me otherwise

 

[overkill]

No. I'm probably in the minority, but I don't think our squad is as bad as everyone makes out.

Getting manager sorted with new captain, proper fitness and training regime + 3 - 4 new players (right back, wide right, centre mid) would make big difference.

I think out team is worse than people make out.

You have the likes of Davies, Sigurdsson, Gomes, Delph are all similar players who are not very mobile and don't really affect games.

We have garbage like Iwobi, Bernard, Holgate, Keane Coleman (Everton icon but currently not at the level we need)

I've just named 9 players from our squad who would struggle to get into any other teams starting 11 in the premier League.

What should the expectations be as is currently?

I thought every blue that has been following Everton for at least 10 years would be conditioned not to expect anything.

It always seems best that way.

 

[faddy the blue]

This whole club's a write off since 2014.

 

[Frenk]

It depends on when the new manager is brought in and who it is. A successful top manager will want to hit the ground running, a top prospect will be more cautious and assess things.

The second iceberg steps onto a pitch the seasons effectively over

I cannot wait until he is no longer associated with the club, it feels like he’s been torturing me Clockwork Orange style for half my life.

 

[billyblue80]

Not necessarily but we have to move decisively. If anything when there is less expectation we seem to do better

I just hope loads of Blues will have been watching the Masked Dancer/Singer.
A slight tweek of the show's catchphrase directed to him "Get him off"

 

[Carlito]

If there needs to be yet another period of assessment for a new manager, it just goes to show that Brands's role is completely pointless.

We don't want anyone who doesn't already have a suitably low opinion of the players we all hate. It's that simple.

 

[GoSoccerToffees]

If we get rid of Bernard, Iwobi, Holgate and Gomes and replace them with four or five motivated players of quality coupled with the appointment of a top manager, then I certainly hope not.

If that doesn't come to pass then we're just treading water for another year with no purpose.

Cup competitions?
FA cup starts in January so it's not out of the equation

 

[ToffeeTim]

It could be very bad unfortunately

 

[argietoffee]

We will finish between 7th and 15th, probably 10th.

We will fume.

We will work thru this together on Grand Old Team.

We will all be a year older.

We wont be a year wiser.

It is the Everton Way.

Almost certainly.

It won't be terrible but Villa will finish above us leading to a lot of fume on here
