I think it's time everybody got real with things. we are NOT a big club at the moment - the only thing big about us is the problems and unrealistic expectations.
How typical that our period of big money investment has resulted in chaos, disappointment and ridicule and courting managers of the level who we have been linked with. Wholesale changes from the top down is the only way we will progress. time to say goodbye to the so called "legends" and get some real modern football people into the club or else the demise will only continue.

Said that for ages Nev7611 but been slapped down (metaphorically) for it, Mr Kenwright saved us etc! I get that and eternally grateful but as you quite rightly indicate times change and we must change with it. There is a reason Mr Moshri was only allowed 49.9 percent and I believe it was a selfish reason.

The reason he’s only got 49% is because that’s all he needs to have a majority as there are about 3% of shares out there that were lost in the war because the certificates were destroyed in the blitz. So 49% will go unchallenged because it’s impossible for anyone to hold more than him. He’s a billionaire for a reason and not buying a penny more than he needs is one of them. Mathematically in this case 49% is equivalent to a controlling steak.

Total agree about a lot of unreal expectations would like to know what the demise continuing statement is about though the last time we won anything was 22yrs ago since then we have seen dross seen a lot of mediocre stuff and occasionally a bit of good stuff. I don't think this season will be any different from the last 10. Top 8 finish if we can get a bit of form back into the team.

Toffee do not disagree with any of that, but would like the theoretical control to be factual. Are you telling me that Bill does not have any shares or enough to deny Moshri 50.1. Bill should be an honoury Chairman and let go of his toy it really is that simple, while he refrains the Club has no chance of meaningful progression.
