Give it a few more matches.

This board is already labeling signings we haven't made yet as failures, Peter - much less Cenk Tosun who's time is clearly up here and Klaassen, the dinosaur who has been stealing a wage from us for the better part of a decade

Huddy likely need points in the coming 5 or 6 matches given their last four. Southampton look absolutely dire and Palace are slipping.

This would've been an entirely different season if we had landed him.

Very much yes.

Dear God.

You've confused awesome and awful.

As much as I think he and others have failed to deliver a coherent transfer plan and make good acquisitions with the entirety of the squad in mind, whoever fills his position should be a long term appointment. A club like us won't survive, much less thrive, if we become a club that sacks its manager every 8 months and its sporting director every 2 seasons.

I bet Pete also thinks Jags was really poor today - just teasing

You seem to really enjoy justify treating others like shit just because they make a lot of money. I don't think that trait serves you well.

Dunc, do you not see how great it will be? Yeah, we'll be in League Two playing the likes Cheltenham and Forest Green Rovers, but we'll be managed by someone who says "we" and not "Everton", someone who gets us, one of us....I'm sure at that level of competition, we can fill the entire starting 11 from our academy who will put it all out for the 5,000 capacity crowd at Prenton Park for the big derby! Then, after we smash Tranmere, we can go fight their fans in the carpark afterwords, because we're Evertonians and we're hard.

In an act of God, Zaha will be out - confirmed by Roy Hodgson.

People will always see through rose tinted glasses at those who love them. David Unsworth loves Everton and some of the fans are wearing the glasses.

It would appear the PE teacher doesn't fancy a chance since he just turned down Oxford.

Dear God I hope he's better than that. To another point, I love how he's already being labelled a failure - it takes time to adapt.

This.

I know they have been on a bad run, but why? Jeez. Have they replaced one lunatic Italian chairman with another?

Everton 1 Palace 11. I'll be rooting for a 12th.

How many goals do we lose to these shithouses by? Fuck our players, fuck our manager.

Niko Kovac at Eintracht Frankfurt is doing an excellent job - has them in 6th, and I don't believe they usually fight for Europe in the division - Managed Croatia and also comes from the RB Salzburg set up, a place renowned for developing youth talent. Lots of talented coaches in Germany.

This. I'm not at all impressed with Allardyce and hope he's off in the summer, but we are on manager number 3. So many of these lads just don't put in extra challenges, don't chase down lost causes, don't go for 50/50s and most importantly, none of them seem to want to play with any intensity and pace and just go directly at the opponent. Our entire team looks at each other waiting for someone else to play a forward pass, someone else to take a shot on... I'm afraid unless we change a lot of the composition of the squad or see a change in attitude in a lot of them, no manager is going to get much out of this squad. Under Moyes, our squad was much smaller, but there was a core group of players who set the expectation that maximum effort and workrate was the expectation of the club (Neville, Cahill, Arteta, Baines in example). Now, I think the squad is much bigger and there is no core leadership to rally the squad together and set a standard that all must abide by.

Okay, so you would honestly sack him right now if you were running the club? If so, what message does that send whoever you'd be targeting to take over?

Doubt it. I think we'll only need 36-38 to survive. Even we can get a few wins.

Bournemouth look to be clear of the mess - Huge win for Southampton today, didn't see that coming. West Brom could get cut adrift if they don't pick up a win or two soon, and Huddersfield are sinking faster than the titanic. Also a massive win for Brighton
