Everton Thread - 2022/23

Your ownership/board are amateurs. What was Denise Barrett-Baxendale's experience before becoming CEO? She ran a charity (which some might see as appropriate). What does Graeme Sharp bring to the board? It's like us during the Wardle chairmanship, run by a bunch of second-rate people.

As you say, needs a full clear out.

To be fair to Denise she made Everton rosettes as a kid and had a poster of Bob Latchford on her bedroom wall. Which in the eyes of Kenwright makes her fully qualified to be CEO of the club !

Kenwright is your Peter Swales (although he clearly is a fan). But he needs to step down and let someone more hard-headed run the club.

I haven't seen a great deal of Everton, but from what I have seen I wouldn't say they are a bad team. Some of their defeats have been down to sheer bad luck as opposed to someone not doing their jobs properly. The defence occasionally goes missing in action, and I've always thought Pickford is suspect anyway, but overall I think they'll be okay - mainly because the others in the relegation zone are absolutely dreadful.

I would say they are a dreadful team.

They have no identity, no goals in the team, second-rate wingers and centre-backs, an error prone keeper and beyond that, I can’t name you another player off the top of my head.

Oh yeah, Gordon. The “wonder kid” with 7 career goals.

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.

City going down in 1983 by a tiny margin on the last day killed the club for ten years. It is just a myth that clubs can re-group. We struggled for decades afterwards.

Am sure that I read somewhere that the team that played wolves the other day had scored less than 30 goals between them in their whole everton careers.

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.

with hindsight our double relegation was a blessing even if it seemed far from it at the time, it allowed us to clear out the deadwood, paved the way for the red scouse Cnut to put the club up for sale. League one was brilliant after a miserable couple of years but only because we got out at first attempt.
Having said that, being relegated this season would be a complete disaster for us.

I’m surprised that Everton didn’t sack frank at the start of the World Cup break really so a new manager would have a mini preseason.

Even though I've had a couple of my scariest moments at Goodison, quarter final in 81 and about 85/86 night game when Linekar scored an hatrick.
I've got a bit of a soft spot for them, in many ways there like us before our takeover.
We've both got a predominantly local working class support, we've both got arseholes for neighbours and it doesn't matter how successful they were or in our case we are now, we will never be given the respect or recognition we deserve.
I hope they survive and prosper, but as long as Kenwright is at the wheel it won't happen ( he's there Swales as someone else pointed out)
There new stadium is taking shape, they can't afford to be relegated with the lost revenue and sponsorship opportunities.
I loved that video when there murdering neighbours were arriving at the station and they got dogs abuse from the waiting Evertonians, all chanting you nearly won the league, pure hatred, loved it.

Dave Makin was a blue at least.
John Wardle was a rag when he was younger

I'd that true? I thought they were both City I think I bought training shoes off them from Oasis.
