Heck, Birmingham, Leicester, Swansea, Wigan all had a better recent history.



When will it ever change, or are we still just 'stabilising' so many clubs have come up from the champ, deemed tin pot clubs and have passed Everton with ease. Well done to Villa tonight, feeling envious.

20 May 2026 22:15:32
Hey hey, be careful what you wish for.

20 May 2026 17:36:05
Abdul Fatawu striker from Leicester being linked with us, BN do you rate this guy mate?

20 May 2026 18:14:14
He's not good enough.

20 May 2026 19:11:40
He is not good enough. Maybe in 3 years, but we haven't got that time, plus George and Diblings same profile. You have to question the mentality of all Leicester players too, way to go to be bottom half yet alone relegated from Championship.

I would be looking at WHU forward Taty, think he would be perfect for us alongside big target man - possibly Delap.

{Ed025's Note - Delap would be at the bottom of my list Cookie..

20 May 2026 19:56:54
Delap of this year, yes, he's rubbish and not top of my list - Chelsea has come too soon for him. Still think he will be quality in the right team - just seems devoid of confidence at the moment and over thinking everything. He would suit Moyes and simplified instructions.

20 May 2026 20:07:41
Can he control a ball booted upfield?

20 May 2026 21:25:48
Can anyone get their head on one of our long balls is more the question?

20 May 2026 22:06:16
Delap is worse at holding the ball up than Beto and Barry.

Reading some Chelsea fans' reactions to him this season has been quite funny:

"He plays football like a pitch invader."

"He runs like he's just got out of a pool and his trunks are full of water."

I think he's dreadful personally.

Got slightly more goals (with penalties) in a team built around him than Beto has, who's only played half the games this season.

19 May 2026 19:13:35
Hey Ed do you think TFG will offer DM a new contract, surely TFG will have seen how close we got to European footy, will they support him for a couple of windows or will they look at Glasner, Pep or Iraola, three good managers who would all be available to take us forward, do you reckon they will stick with DM.

{Ed025's Note - i have heard nothing about us even being interested in changing our manager GB..unfortunately..

19 May 2026 20:38:38
You don't really think Pep would join us do you, Gb?

19 May 2026 20:43:00
Never say say never mate. 😂😂

{Ed025's Note - say never mate..

19 May 2026 20:50:35
I think never would be a fairly safe bet here, GB. Would be delighted if Iriola came in. Can only see Moyes staying as the outcome though.

{Ed025's Note - me too JB..

19 May 2026 21:42:17
Pep! It had to be Guernsey. Thanks, that made my day - never change, mate.

19 May 2026 22:20:36
JB, my response wasn't to you on the Banter page regarding Pep. Just wanted to make you aware as the post is someway down the page now.

20 May 2026 03:28:01
From The Bobbles article. TFG are *very* happy with Moyes and don't see a point in changing.

Which I assume means they looked at it and went "oh, no relegation threat this season? He must be doing great!"

20 May 2026 07:34:47
Cheers, BN. Feeling everyone's pain at the moment, the last month has felt like a huge step backwards, hasn't it? I was fully prepared to support another season for Moyes, but it's been a pretty desperate watch.

20 May 2026 13:44:47
Not sure how close we got, GB. We are 12th, which means there are eleven teams closer and only 8 below us. Our form over the last six games is relegation type, not anywhere near European football. Still, let's just keep ignoring the facts.

20 May 2026 14:33:30
I was referring to when we were higher up the table earlier when we were all ecstatic as to our position. Then it all went downhill, as for you saying ignoring the facts is like your post just plain daft mate.

20 May 2026 18:28:25
I'd love to see Pep have a go without it being the strongest team in the league. Barca, Bayern, then City. As the old saying goes, can he do it on a cold, rainy night at Stoke.

20 May 2026 19:09:45
Now that is football.

20 May 2026 20:05:23
Come on, GB, it doesn't matter a monkey's where we stood mid-term, it's the amount of points we have at the end of the season. Don't let's start calling posts daft, I could bring up a few of yours but I am too polite.

17 May 2026 16:56:15
That’s Ndiaye gone as well now.

{Ed025's Note - after the way he played today I can live with that TB.

17 May 2026 17:37:35
Only if we invest it wisely. Time to move for Iroala and poach a few from relegated sides for cheap, Bowen and Grealish on the wings for me.

17 May 2026 18:10:15
He's been poor since he came back from AFCOM, maybe ManU is on his mind Ed

{Ed025's Note - maybe GB..

17 May 2026 19:26:02
Don't want anymore players who are used to relegation. Want players who are used to winning things. The club has to change the mindset of the team and that starts with the manager.

17 May 2026 20:01:36
That was DM reply as to why he doesn't play Dibling, Anzou etc, not ready.

17 May 2026 21:48:33
I disagree bmd, there have been some brilliant signings from relegated teams in recent years, wasn't there a fair few from that Klopp side relegated? Robertson, Wijnaldum, maybe a few more. I'd take that Diouf at left back as well. He's exactly what is needed, fast, direct and forward thinking.

18 May 2026 08:35:21
Agree to some extent with BMD, we do need to change the mentality of the players we have and bring in quality players to replace those who are clearly not up to it.
However, this all starts with the manager and, in my opinion, we have a manager who has reached his level. He will not move us any further forward than where we are now. His tactics and game management are poor, and after listening to recent interviews, I'm guessing his motivation skills are on the wane.

God knows what he said to the players at half-time yesterday for them to put in that performance.
If Moyes is still in charge next season, then expect more of the same. Mid-table, boring, safe football, with a team full of grafters.

{Ed025's Note - its always going to be square pegs in round holes with Dave im afraid Brass, play the old guard rather than giving the younger players their shot, what have Aznou and Armstrong go to do to get a chance?, all those who are happy to just be safe need to revisit our motto...Nil Satis Nisi Optimum, it does not translate to well happy with just surviving..

18 May 2026 11:09:30
I don't think that a lot of our supporters even know that we have a motto Ed025 mate. I have it tattooed on my arm, but I am very old school.
Something has to change, unfortunately thirty years of mediocrity and no silverware has had a negative effect on all of us.

I used to enjoy watching Everton now it's just a grind. Moyes and his negative tactics just doesn't help.
I was at Wembley in 1995, left the ground full of anticipation and now we are here with nothing since.

{Ed025's Note - yeah Mike im with you there mate, i used to feel really down when we got beat...now im just not arsed to be honest..

18 May 2026 12:13:08
It's not as if you could register your unhappiness by not renewing your season ticket, given there's a long queue just waiting to get a season ticket. We just have shut up, pay and put up with Moyes and his shambles.

18 May 2026 15:56:53
Do you know what Ed I had almost forgotten about Armstrong. I mean what was the point of bringing him back from his loan. Mike I'm with you. Got my tattoo back in the 70's. Motto on one arm and 100% Blue on the other. Lost count of the amount of times I have had to explain it to people.

19 May 2026 17:23:45
I don't get it, lads. Moyes is safe, but isn't that what we need after the last few years? Be careful what you wish for, because look at West Ham! All these new players, new managers, and yet football is poor, and they are going down. If you could get Iraola, I would swap Moyes out. Otherwise I am happy with consolidation and gradual improvement compared to what we have had! Plus, Moyes has had us in Europe, so why does everyone assume he can't do that again? Keep in mind, our best player this season, KDH, was a Moyes signing.

A few more like that, and he will absolutely have us battling for Europe again. This season was too soon, and we would have struggled because squad depth is poor. And, if youngsters were good enough, they would get a chance. Aznou, Harrison, Dibling aren't, otherwise other Premier League teams would be interested, and they're not! They may well be with time, but not yet. In Moyes we trust!

{Ed025's Note - some have different views than you Rich but of course you are entitled to your opinion, i suppose its what you expect of your club mate, for me we are still a big club and should be dining at the top table and Nil Satis Nisi Optimum does not mean be happy with mediocrity, if you are happy with playing 4 center halves in defence and having 2 useless lumps up front rotating even though they are both absolutely useless then good for you, you are obviously happy with the tactics of getting in front in games then sitting back and trying to hang on for dear life but i have to say im not, for me not even trying in cup competition is criminal and playing players who are just not good enough like Tarks, McNeil, Keane and making changes far too late that they have no time to change the outcome does not sit right to me, yes im a moaning old git and im glad we stayed up and Moyes did a good job of doing that i must admit, but if that is the limit of our ambitions then this is not the club i signed up for all those years ago..but each to their own..

19 May 2026 19:01:08
Plus Garner has been my player of the season.

19 May 2026 19:14:58
You have summed things up very well in my opinion Ed.
Like you I really thought we would give it a real good go in the cup games, but not to be.
Don't know why we didn't play Patterson as RB in latter part of season, when he seemed fit as the only proper RB we have, to free up OBrien to play in Central defence.

{Ed025's Note - we all have our own ideas on team selection FG, mine and yours seem similar mate but certainly not our managers..

15 May 2026 19:39:23
Ndiaye being heavily linked with Man U, and we seem to have a replacement in Dario Osorio, a Chilean forward. Never heard of him. I hope BN can give us some insight into this player, cheers in advance mate.

15 May 2026 23:55:48
Thought Ndiaye said he was happy at Everton. Plus after the Branthwaite saga with Man it'd offering well below asking price, I can't see them agreeing to what we would want for him.

16 May 2026 09:23:57
He may be happy, but we've seen it many times before, haven't we? Not many turn down playing for Utd. We'll do well to hang on to him, unfortunately.

16 May 2026 11:18:26
Ndiaye seems to be a bit off his best form in recent weeks, mayb his mind is already made up.

16 May 2026 11:39:43
Manu are billions in debt, Old Trafford's falling down, not an attractive club anymore, haven't won anything in years, can't see him going there.

16 May 2026 13:13:30
Is that what Cunha and Sesko thought?

16 May 2026 13:33:33
Simple, money. Utd will throw stupid wages his way. That's why players go there and that's why Cunja and Sesko went there.

16 May 2026 14:00:51
That's part of the reason, yes. But, whether we like it or not, Utd are still a huge, globally recognised sports team. If we offered a player the same wages, there'd still be a good chance they'd go to Utd.

16 May 2026 15:37:34
Plus, the ages they are, they probably supported Utd growing and it's always been their dream to play for them. 😆 🤣 Love that old chestnut. 🌰

16 May 2026 22:12:00
Skiliman grew up in France. I very much doubt he grew up supporting Manu, more like PSG. If he was to leave, I'd put money on him going to PSG.

17 May 2026 08:10:20
I'd sell him if the money's right, he's skillful and all, but players like Bowen have a lot better numbers. We need to be more like Bournemouth, buy at a low price and make big profits. I'd do the same with Braithwaite.

17 May 2026 10:18:14
What's this obsession with buying young players who we can make a profit on. We are no longer little old Everton, who have to sell players to survive. We are now in a position where we can bring in players to improve us for the future and the now, and have us competing for trophies again, and not so we can hopefully make a few quid.
We have been stuck in a financial rut for too many years, and now supporters have seen it as the norm.

Well not anymore, this club is changing rapidly under the new leadership we have and I get the feeling they are not going to accept average mid table finishes. They are money men, and the most money is at the top table, and that is where they will want to be. You don't do that by buying then selling your best players, unless that is, you have a better player lined up.
Changes are coming, people, you may not like them all, but they are coming.

17 May 2026 10:54:38
Well, changes have been made, mainly from a financial viewpoint. Debt has been consolidated and is now manageable. A management team seems to be in place, and we have achieved at least mid-table stability. We are in a new stadium, with the potential to use it for more money-creating operations.


The big question is, what is the second phase? Maybe it's too soon for radical change and another year of slow progress under Moyes, or maybe the owners want to see us move faster. It's going to be an interesting period.

17 May 2026 21:49:17
They've just finished 3rd, have UCL and are his childhood club, of course he wants to go there.

18 May 2026 08:39:47
Strange how many footballers suddenly have an infinity with a club who offer them silly wages. Wouldn't it be refreshing if they just came out and said they offered me twice as much money. I mean, wouldn't we all do the same. Think about it, if you were offered a chance to double your money, then what would you do?

15 May 2026 13:38:01
Big thank you to Seamus true Blue and you wish all the best for your future, best £60,000 ever spent.

15 May 2026 13:20:21
While we rebuild the team and with a difficult summer window with the World Cup going on, would qualifying for European football be the best outcome? Under this new system we get something like 80% limit on turnover, but under UEFA laws that’s limited to 70%, so effectively we’re allowed to spend less on new players. Certainly, the Conference income wouldn’t make that worthwhile.

Europa a possibility we’d reap the benefits, but both of those streams would probably be added to next year’s spend allowance. The other option that we’d be in a Champions League place, whilst unlikely, with the best will in the world we’re not ready to compete at that level. Don’t get me wrong, as a fan I’d love European football, but financially is it the best option while we rebuild?

15 May 2026 14:56:10
Agree Big C, as happy I am to be challenging, it's not the end of the world if we don't. We can see with United the difference no mid-week games can have - I bet the difference in prize money finishing 6 league places higher is more than reaching final of ECL.

17 May 2026 10:24:37
Think the big change with Utd was in getting rid of Amorin. The club are running a massive debt and simply cannot afford to be out of European football.
If we really have aspirations to be a success, then qualifying for European football has to be seen as a minimum requirement, otherwise the club is just standing still.


This season we appear to have blown that chance now, and I would think the new owners would be looking at that and asking why this has happened. Think we all have our own opinions on that question.

12 May 2026 13:05:02
Heard again this morning from a trusted source that McTominay is Moyes top summer target. He also wants striker Bowen from West Ham. Reports about Delap are wide of the mark.

12 May 2026 13:22:16
Would like that.

12 May 2026 19:11:32
I rate both players, but Bowen is gonna cost £40 to £50 million and is 29. I'm unsure, because if we did sign him that's Dibling's career over with us. He can't get in over Mcneil, so no chance with Bowen in front of him. And now Rohl, who isn't a winger. Would love Mctominey, who is in his prime, 27, and a scoring midfielder as well.

Let's be honest, Moyes would buy them, he ain't arsed about youngsters who, if are still at club, will benefit the nxt manager, ie Harrison, Graham, Anzou, Dibling, George, who I can't see us keeping. Just wish he would give Alcaraz more minutes as well.

13 May 2026 18:39:58
I think Dibling will be shot out on loan next season. Aznou will be sold, I reckon. Shame, as he had 1 game as sub and was our best player on the pitch. I think some promising youngsters will be loaned out. If we can resurrect the McNeil deal, then I'd spend it on Azeez from Millwall.

I just hope our 1st 2 signings aren't 30yr old + goalkeepers. We seem to collect keepers like they're going out of fashion. Let's be honest, they aren't knocking Pickford from No1 spot. They don't even get a cup game to play in.

14 May 2026 14:16:51
40 million for Bowen is a bargain, 10 million a season.

16 May 2026 08:25:55
He's 29. Why would you offer him a four year contract?

02 May 2026 15:46:53
I’m hearing that Moyes wants McTominay, he’s top of Moyes with list in the summer apparently, £40 million being quoted.

02 May 2026 16:37:21
Would definitely have him but can't see him leaving Napoli.

02 May 2026 18:00:17
Player is keen on a Premier League rerun and is a big fan of Moyes apparently.

02 May 2026 18:22:18
Would be a good signing for us that.

03 May 2026 11:51:35
Garner, KDH & McTominay would be a fairly formidable midfield trio.

03 May 2026 13:05:31
And the lad can score goals as well. I would be well chuffed with them 3 in the middle with Armstrong as back up.

03 May 2026 20:53:03
Although he would improve us, I'd like to see us try getting a younger player for that type of money. If they don't get promoted through the play offs, then Hayden Hackney is a lad I'd go all out for.

04 May 2026 09:46:23
We have a younger player of that type. He's called Harrison Armstrong.

09 May 2026 02:57:23
100% BMD.

29 Apr 2026 17:31:23
Reading, we're being linked with both Nathan Ake and John McGinn - could be lies, but both fit Moyes' Mo, but I would be annoyed to see us bring in even more 30+ year olds.

It's like Moyes has no interest in building anything for the future.

29 Apr 2026 18:47:25
David Strelec Middlesbrough striker, anyone seen him play? I do like McGinn, gives his all, clever player but seems to get a few injuries now so hope it's just a rumour.

29 Apr 2026 21:07:57
Weren't we linked with at Middlesbrough midfielder who was 23 - Hackney or something? I have a feeling Moyes rates him and tried to get him last summer.

Think we will be linked with many players over the next few months. It's working out which ones have legs is the problem.

Moyes can't only recruit players aged 30+ and we already have mums with Grealish.

I think the older signings will be back up for anyone leaving or positions we need bodies in.

Best to dot back and say nothing and watch out all happen. However, I'm not like that so I'm likely to be checking whatever websites I can to find some sort of information!

30 Apr 2026 01:05:40
Yeah, Hackney just got Championship player of the season and Forest are wanting him to replace Anderson when he moves in the summer. Suppose a lot will also depend on if Middlesbrough get promoted. Their forward doesn't ring any bells for me though. Hasn't stood out the odd time I have watched them.

30 Apr 2026 21:22:14
Tommy Conway is a good player. Striker for Middlesbrough. Hackney is really good. Could make the step up easily.

01 May 2026 13:59:50
30 year olds give you 5-6 good years at this level.

02 May 2026 17:02:31
Think, sadly, we were so desperate for strikers, we accepted two lads who have a horrendous first touch and missed finishing school. (At least, Beto had heart) Parrot and Jackson would, for me, offer something different. Be very interesting to see how good we could be with quality up front.
