Everton Thread - 2022/23

It all reminds me so much of the Swales era.

I said exactly that to Mrs Vienna on Saturday.

It just goes to show with everton, that spending money is the easy bit. Theyve spent a hell of a lot of money on utter pap

People go on about city just spending, and how easy it is when you can buy anyone u like.
But actually, spending is easy peasy, its buying the right players (right in many ways) thats the very hard bit

I can still clearly remember so-called experts questioning whether Bobby could manage "all those egos" of the expensive players City bought, though I don’t recall any of them admitting that they’d got it wrong, and we’d spent the money well.

Had some one say to me the other day (a red obviously) “oh pep will just go out and buy a few more players”. Its as though its as easy as that!

Watching whats happening is making me re-live what happened at City all those years ago

I see thus ending only one way

With players taking the ball to the corner flag when they actually need a goal? ;)

I expected Everton to get relegated last year but to their credit they didn't. Unfortunately I haven't seen any improvement this season, if anything they've regressed. If they are still down there at the end of the season with it still in their own hands and some favourable home games, I think they may scrape it again. A rabid Goodison can be pretty intimidating for the opposition

Ironically, I think Everton will get the chosen one sacked on Saturday.

Or, winning 5-2 on the last day*, and still getting relegated?


*To a fellow relegated club?

Be more likely Moyes gets Lampard the sack.

Agreed. Can't see Everton down there.

 

[Gingers Dad]

John Maddocks anybody?

Everton is a famous old football club

Maybe a little time in the lower divisions will give them the opportunity to reflect on the fact that Manchester City is also a famous old football club?

Sad as it is I doubt he'd leave Burnley for us under the current regime. There's a lot more to come out about them, lots of things don't add up and they can only contain the positivity in the media for so long

Yeah, I like Vinny and I'd be happy to have him but he's doing such a good job at Burnley, I doubt he'd want to leave.

I think Vincent has higher ambitions than Burnley.

I also think that Vincent has higher ambitions than Everton.

Well, I hope he does.

A chairman who hasnt a clue, has stayed long after he shouldve gone.
Big money wasted time after time on dross
A crumbling stadium.
Players that seemingly dont care
Bad managerial appointments , one after the other

I see thus ending only one way

Me too. Being bought out by Dubai.

If they had any sense.

Frank will soon be heading down south permanently.

 

[Vienna_70]

Frank will soon be heading down south permanently.

I think so, too.

And that's the worrying thing for Everton fans. They know there's more shit being covered up but haven't a clue what it might be.

I think as a club we are not geared up in any way for relegation. For other clubs they are kind of acclimatised towards it and will bounce back in a few seasons. With this current squad and manager we are going down and if that happens the players that would be left would struggle to get out of the championship
It's almost like the owner and board have accepted this and already looking to deflect blame - onto the fans. We are recalling loan players and only incoming players look like loan deals also.

Yep from the outside it looks like that and why I’m baffled they haven’t sacked Lampard who is still very young in his managerial career! They should be sacking him and bringing in someone like Dyche who has vast experience to improve the results, saying that 20 game left is still a lot

 

[Asa's left peg]

Vinny may consider that he and Burnley may be waving at Everton as they pass each other at the end of the season.
I'm sure he would want to manage Burnley in the Premier league than Everton in the Championship.
