Well that's it, been reading Sean has been given up the next internationals to sort out our dismal start to this season or he is out the door, lucky for him he's been given so long.

13 Sep 2024 15:58:42
We are stuck with him till we get new owners I reckon. he will get a few results so if we then sack him everyone will say that's harsh but they don't watch the dross we have to. but who is around that would want to come to everton at the minutePotter I ain't sure about him another mike walker in my eyes should of stayed at Brighton. Moyes no thankyou. carsley will get the England job. so keep this dinosaur as much as I hate to say it. iam not a fan but he will keep us up. get a new owner new ground nxt season which will make us more appealing to managers and give them the pre season to shape the players and style of play. Its hard but can only get better WE are in it for the long haul Eddie howe would be my choice but we shall see .3 points tomorrow COYB'S ???.

13 Sep 2024 16:19:22
Hope so mate no reason we can’t get any points,3 would be nice but would take a draw.

13 Sep 2024 19:09:32
I’m going to avoid all football related media until Sunday evening then will check how bad we were. I’m praying for a win but worry it could be another 4-0 like last season.

Waiting for the day I don’t dread getting to the weekend and knowing we are playing. It’s been quite nice having the international break last week; I didn’t watch any footy and we didn’t lose.

13 Sep 2024 21:43:59
No BR we didn't lose but we didn't win either which means that we are still rock bottom with no points. I watch with trepidation the team he picks, Young, Keane and Doucoure and I will be watching golf.

12 Sep 2024 18:07:33
The pantomime that is Everton FC continues.
Farcical statements at the press conference.

12 Sep 2024 19:37:47
It would be a challenge for even the best script writers. I've given up reading stuff now.

11 Sep 2024 15:42:00
Just seen that Man Utd have made a loss of £257.4M in the last three years, but may not face sanctions:

“Despite the results, United are not expected to breach the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules because not all spending goes against their calculations and clubs can claim allowances known as 'add backs”

I know we’ve been able to offset the stadium costs and covid, but their losses do seem a bit high to then be able to bring it back under the 105M loss limit.

11 Sep 2024 21:42:16
I wouldn't think about the finances of football clubs mate, most of us fans will never fully understand it, things are not always what they look like from the outside, it's way to complicated for most.

11 Sep 2024 04:38:36
If an owner is deemed to be a hazard to the existence of a team, can the EPL force a sale?

And does administration help Moshiri get Usmanov’s, err I mean his own money back?

{Ed002's Note - No, No.}

? - class reply.

11 Sep 2024 13:22:47
Thank you, Ed 002.

10 Sep 2024 18:48:17
Did Dom play well against Bournemouth. Yes. I don't think he was outstanding though, just better than he normally is. He did his job but still left a lot to be desired for me.

Still can't get on board with the fact that some people say we don't create chances for him. The amount of balls that get played between the defence and the keeper, along that 6 yard box is criminal. Sometimes he isn't even anywhere near it or even ware it's going in there.

I saw an interesting article for big chances created and McNeil makes this list amongst some big names. I imagine 13/ 14 of these would have been played into Dom. Would be interesting to see the conversion rate ?

Player > Big Chances Created 2023/ 2024

Mohamed Salah > 22
Kevin De Bruyne > 21
Bruno Fernandes > 21
Son Heung-min > 20
Trent Alexander-Arnold > 17
Dwight McNeil > 17
Cole Palmer > 17
Martin Odegaard > 17.

10 Sep 2024 20:45:25
Struggling to remember all those chances, but your making the assumption that DCL is always in the middle. Dyche has him running all over the bloody place . Ancelotti told him to stay in and around the six yard box, and low and behold he scored goals.
Dyche likes a loan striker to cover the "hard yards", not one to hold a position in the centre. Agree he's not perfect, but nobody would be playing this formation and employing this managers tactics.

11 Sep 2024 09:25:40
As we saw against Bournemouth, if SD allows the wingers to play higher up the pitch, Dom stays in the middle and causes problems. Not rocket science.

11 Sep 2024 13:43:30
It might be rocket science to Mr D.

11 Sep 2024 15:53:36
Not even rocket science, it's common sense which SD seems to lack also.

12 Sep 2024 03:46:28
BB nails it with his reply there. SD gets the lad covering the entire final third, keep him in the box.

12 Sep 2024 09:33:39
I am not making an assumption that he is always in the middle Brass. That is my exact point. He isn't. Look at the Bournemouth game and the Brighton game. Crosses flashed across between the 6 yard box and the penalty spot and he is nowhere near it. That isn't because he was out of position after having won the ball out on the flanks or deep. It was because he has no instinct. Just the usual jogging about aimlessly on the edge of the box.

Even if he were to be in the right positions, not sure why people think its a given that he scores. Go and look back at some of his misses over the years. Newcastle, Leicester spring to mind as absolute howlers.

It is also a myth that he runs himself into the ground and is always harassing defenders in the channels - he doesn't His work rate is average. Granted he does well when the ball is played to him in the air because he has a great leap and is physical. Other than that, he offers little.

One of the most overrated players in the league imo.

10 Sep 2024 13:51:47
With Red Bull becoming our main drinks sponsor what are the odds on us becoming Red Bull Everton?

{Ed002's Note - Zero. They are already part owners of another English side.}

10 Sep 2024 20:39:42
Shame, they could have given us some wing (er) s….

{Ed025's Note - love it BR..

10 Sep 2024 20:46:22
None, and that was made pretty clear in their first interview.

10 Sep 2024 12:20:08
Don't agree with the couple of negative posts below re it's going to hurt and I dread the weekend blah blah, I
agree with Ed 025 on how we played our last game, for 87 minutes that's the best we have played in ages so many chances from players from all over the pitch and we were the better Team by a country mile up and totally outplayed them with them not even getting a shot in until the final minutes, when we caved in and poor substitutions, Villa won't be fancying this game, I'm with RON MAC a win for us it will be, on another point I see John Textor has come out and said there is no truth in the rumour he is looking to get rid of Sean, just the usual bull xxxx from the rags, COYB.

{Ed025's Note - im expecting a decent performance at the weekend as well GB, now im not expecting a win but i think a draw is possible mate..

10 Sep 2024 14:49:37
I hope you are correct GB, but can't get my head around Young at right-back and Keane at center-back and Dacoure chosen to play. If SD starts to integrate some of the new players and starts to trust Dixon we may have a chance. What about O'Brien and Lindstrom? I believe that we have a stronger squad but only if we play our best players not SD's favorites.
By the way the French left-back looked pretty good against Belgium!

10 Sep 2024 15:23:25
Sorry GB disagree, of course Villa will fancy this game and why wouldn't they? Villa are a top team full of pace up top and movement with a exceptional manager not forgetting they are a strong team at home. To say "expect to win" is stretching it pal come on, we are capable of Dyche has somehow lifted the team after the Bournemouth debacle. Would take a point all day long, but also fearful of Villa turning up on the day and doing a number on us as they are more than capable. Let's hope we can surprise.

10 Sep 2024 15:57:33
I think Villa back themselves against anyone at home these days. We all know we played well for 87 minutes. Can we ignore shipping 10 goals in 3 games? Hope I'm wrong, expecting a loss I'm afraid.

10 Sep 2024 12:48:40
Exactly Ed for 95% of that last game we were excellent, they will be up for Saturdays game mate.

{Ed025's Note - i hope so GB, the next few games are massive for the club and Sean Dyche in particular, unless we get a couple of decent results mate i think he will be out the door..and rightfully so..

10 Sep 2024 18:24:12
I agree with you there Ed. We will see if Dyche has the players backing. Yes we dominated 95% of the game and should of won no debatable but reality is we didn't and no doubt the players will have been massively down and rightly so, can Dyche galvanise them, let's hope so! . We are playing Villa away GB not Bournemouth at home mate, Villa are a lot better and stronger team they didn't finish 4th for no reason, at our best it's a very tough game and a point would be a great result.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Mocker, a draw would be a great result mate but even though Villa are a decent side a big loss would be unacceptable, our season starts here now and we have to start getting some points on the board..

10 Sep 2024 18:25:43
Agree Ed I reckon he has 2 games left to keep his job mate.

{Ed025's Note - im thinking a couple more that that GB, Villa away is a tough one even for a decent side to get a result mate, but after this one we need to get results or its all over for him..

10 Sep 2024 19:48:29
Agree Ed, think they will give him till next international break which is October, we have 4 games till then.

Villa (a) Leicester (a) Palace (h) Newcastle (h) not of which are easy, need be getting 5 points minimum.

All feels deja vu doesn't it and we may well be looking back at these 4 games and praising Dyche and co a la last season.

{Ed025's Note - hopefully thats the case Mocker, the Leicester game is massive for me as i see them as one of the possibles to to go down, Palace and Newcastle are about our level i feel and we should know more about our prospects after this run of games mate..

10 Sep 2024 19:57:51
Agree to disagree Ed mate, when we win on Sat I will remind you lol.

{Ed025's Note - i will be more than happy to accept any stick coming my way GB if
that happens mate..

10 Sep 2024 20:51:39
Sorry but I can't see us getting anything from the Villa game. Can easily see it being another Spurs result. Especially if he plays Dacoure, Young and Keane.

{Ed025's Note - hopefully none of them will be involved brass..

11 Sep 2024 01:41:55
We will get a result on Saturday and he will keep tredding water getting them here and there making it hard to sack him. What with all his pal's in the media saying what a great job he is doing and we are lucky to have him with what is going on at the club and that he has nothing to spend. i thought we had a decent window SD just won't play them.

06 Sep 2024 14:36:49
Reading all your opinions and comments regarding previous managers, thought I'd take a look at how they compare to each other during their EFC tenures.

Martinez
P140, W60, D39, L41, %4.

04 Sep 2024 20:17:03
With the FA policy on transgender players, and the situation at Sutton United, what are people's thoughts on allowing a transgender player? Could you see this happening in the Premiership? It's certainly a moot point. I have mixed feelings on it myself.

{Ed025's Note - can of worms right there imo Nick..

04 Sep 2024 21:31:21
Not a chance!

04 Sep 2024 23:36:46
Is that said with authority Mocker? Where there's a rule, some will challenge and some will exploit. Unless the FA change the ruling, I think we can expect plenty to force the issue.

05 Sep 2024 08:14:03
Not a chance Nick a women transitioning into a man will be allowed to play high level professional football for so many reasons, clearly a man transitioning into a woman is more likely. But for me both are unfair and wrong all for people living their lifes but morally, physically it is wrong and prevents the path of a young child who has worked for their dreams.

Each to their own.

05 Sep 2024 16:06:42
Let’s just stick to our own misery without getting mixed up in this madness.

06 Sep 2024 11:11:54
Mocker you appear quite determined in your response that this will never happen, so what do you think are the reasons it won’t happen?

The way things are going regarding equal rights for all, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was to happen, however I’m not sure there would be many individuals who would have the physical attributes to step up to the top level.

The major issue would be if there was some ruling brought in by a governing body to appease those wanting this to happen.

As Ed says, could be a massive can of worms.

06 Sep 2024 15:07:52
I just can't see it ever happening or certainly anytime soon good for number of reasons, firstly having someone who has the physical attributes and skill level to transition into the men's game, the amount of money involved in the with sponsorship and far east money be key factor too, not to mention the no doubt fan outcry wether we like it or not, any talk of it for me needs to be quashed, all for people living their own life's in their own skin but society is imo going ott, call it old skool maybe, perhaps the future generations will see this has as you rightly say they are pushing and pushing all this now, nothing against them setting up a separate trans section of football but just leave the male and female as they are.

06 Sep 2024 16:08:42
Got to agree with mocker, just can't see this happening any time soon. If anything, we will have transitioned men playing in the women's game rather than the other way round. For the same reasons that you have mentioned above, women just don't have the same physical strength etc. All for them having their own teams and leagues but some things should just be left well alone.

06 Sep 2024 18:09:50
Carry on like this and there will be no such thing as a woman in the future.

07 Sep 2024 09:31:33
Whilst I agree with the majority of the things you say mocker, unfortunately not one of those things you mention would be able to be argued in a legal sense to prevent it happening.

There will always be one that wants to challenge the status quo and I imagine if a trans player wants to push to have the chance to play at the top table there’ll some legal experts willing to fight that for them regardless of the things you mention.

The way things are going it wouldn’t surprise me if a discrimination case gets brought in the next few years to challenge the status quo - it’s already happening in other sports.

07 Sep 2024 12:28:07
The fact this is even a debate nowadays is a very sad state of affairs for society Gingerdan imo. Maybe it will be speed up quicker than I expect but I won't for one support it. It's morally wrong and a man transitioning into a woman and being in same shower/ changing rooms is and should never be allowed.

We have 2 separate gender sports categories for a reason let's as a society please not confuse the youth of the future is my opinion.

07 Sep 2024 17:45:41
Well said Mocker ??.
PS the internet police are probably on their way round mate ??.

10 Sep 2024 12:36:15
I think the vast majority of us agree with the thoughts mentioned in this thread but the people that don't agree are just far more vocal. I think that the precedent set by not allowing people like Lia Thomas to compete in women's swimming will help. There was the New Zealand Powerlifter who took the place of a woman who trained to compete in the Olympics a few years a go. Hopefully we do not see it again or it will be the end of women's sports. But then again there are a fair amount of idiots saying there is not physical difference between men and women and that sports should not have the categories anymore.

I have a daughter and she will not be competing against men. Nor will she be forced to change in front of them.

01 Sep 2024 20:20:32
While I'm never advocating for a manager to be sacked I've had my fill of this fella. Passing the blame most of the time and saying this was happening before his time. While it may be true it just happened on his watch now. He needs a serious look in the mirror and do a bit more than just wear a tracksuit and hope for the best.
If I had to choose a manager, personally I'd try and get Ralf rangnick in. I understand he's with Austria now however he has premier league experience, will play an attractive bad of football and his teams and usually defensively sound. I don't think he'll be hiding behind players haven't got premier league experience unlike mr Dyche. If the worst was to happen and I don't think it will, I'd much prefer to watch us playing attractive football than the negative stuff we play and still get beat l
I wouldn't read too much into his time in Manchester as he wasn't the only one who couldn't get a tune out of that lot.
But I'm sure many wouldn't agree and that's why football is great, everyone has an opinion worth listening to or reading.
I believe we have decent players who can play football if we have a manager that will allow them. Going to be a long few weeks to stomach yesterday's result. Hoping for brighter days ahead. again.

01 Sep 2024 22:27:24
I read before Kerry that Rang nick was lined up by Friedkin to take over if takeover went ahead. Agree ne a good appointment, not sure how much truth in it and like yourself and many others can't be doing with Dyches excuses anymore, players need look at themselves for not seeing that out yesterday but ultimately fresh legs in key areas which we had on the bench would have seen us see that game out.

Positives were Tim and Ndiaye DCL back on goal trail and for 87 mins a very good performance, not sure Dyche can move us forward anymore he just can't get any consistency going at all with results or performances and Villa away next is not going to be easy.

01 Sep 2024 14:28:49
If we was to sack Dyche, who would you like to bring in as his replacement?
There are not many current managers available who would really consider coming to us!

01 Sep 2024 15:08:08
As lots on here have said. Someone new, young, ambitious, with new ideas. Other clubs have found them why can't we. No Moyes, Allardyce, Dyche types. Let's go in the direction we want to and not try to rekindle the past.

01 Sep 2024 15:28:05
Massimiliano Allegri previously had 2 runs at Juventus and before that was at AC Milan

Edin Terzic had 2 runs of management at Dortmund with a decent points per game ratio and was a former assistant manager at West Ham

David Wagner previously at Norwich

Graham Potter has been at 3 English teams (Chelsea, Brighton and Swansea) and has Premier League experience.

01 Sep 2024 18:23:05
Potter for me mate.

01 Sep 2024 18:30:32
Ten Hag will be available soon.

01 Sep 2024 19:09:07
Ten Hag talks as much waffle as Dyche.

01 Sep 2024 19:34:58
Ten Hag is Dyche’s foreign cousin.

01 Sep 2024 19:48:36
Potter for me too GB.

01 Sep 2024 19:57:21
That west brom manager ain't bad. He'll surely be managing prem team soon enough.

02 Sep 2024 06:33:20
I honestly couldn’t decide Optimum. We’ve had so many dud managers I’ve given up choosing. The other annoying thing is these managers have done well elsewhere so we could get a world class manager in but we would still manage to ruin whoever we get… may as well appoint Dorris the Tea Lady for all I care nowadays.

02 Sep 2024 14:55:51
Stoke have a young upcoming manager.

03 Sep 2024 08:49:48
Cant see SD moving on until a new owner is found, so its a mater of sucking it up until then.

{Ed025's Note - it certainly looks that way sa..
