Everton Thread - 2022/23

The verdict on Frank

We are getting relegated. I can see no way how it will improve.

I love my club, but jeeez, we are gash.

This season looks very similar to last year's- think we have 2 choices -
a - get rid of most of the squad
b- get rid of the manager.

Relegation might not be the end of the world for Everton, it'll give them a chance for a proper clear-out and reset as well as the chance to build up some momentum and form in the championship.
Villa, West Ham, Newcastle, ourselves all arguably benefited long term from relegation.

We seemed to get a few of their cast-offs who were well past their best :-

Neil "Dissa" Pointon
John Gidman
Adrian Heath
Peter Reid

Harper and Clarke

Never agreed going down can benefit a club. Best to sell players at a loss and recruit properly. Just look how Newcastle have rebuilt since the takeover and copy them. The most important team is the team you get in off the pitch - the head of recruitment and so forth. Proper football people with the cv to match is what you need. The rest should just fall into place.

Fully agree. Something at our club is rotten and has been for over 20 years. Kenwright needs booting out. In fact, we need a full clear out.

I was against changing managers so soon again, but I think Frank has no idea at times. However, who will replace him? Maybe we are best putting up with him.

We need a striker, one who can hold a ball up. Maupay is not a footballer. I would play the youngsters, may as well let them have a go for they will at least give it some effort.

Doesn't always work out though as if you don't bounce back at the first attempt 3 other teams coming down are in a better position.

Sunderland & Wolves went straight through into League 1, other teams like Forest took 23 years to get back, some *cough* are still looking to get back (and are a million miles away ;)

Very true, but I think Everton would bounce straight back, much like Newcastle, Villa and City at the time they're far better than they're showing at the moment whereas the other clubs you've mentioned were either in complete stagnation or were probably punching slightly above their weight being in the PL in the first place.

Harper and Clarke

Harper did a half-decent job for us, whereas Clarke, just like Heath, was a waste of time and space.
