Where are all the bigheads Gone? You know, the ones who were arguing if we would finish 3rd or 4th.

If you turn the paper upside down it may be right.
22 Oct 2017 17:36:49
3rd or 4th? Did not see too many saying that but I was one of the 'bigheads'.
So you are happy that is not achievable now and glad we have had a miserable start. I'm certainly not.

with you on that NBTB mate, i was one of Koemans fans at the start, will hold my hand up now as I was so wrong, and I want him out pronto.
22 Oct 2017 18:32:21
Wrong already?

Exactly GuernseyBlue. At least will put our hands up and admit it. Most won't. Blue76, we may not be wrong but it doesn't look promising does it?

Very grim mate if he stays on.

Too many players. Very difficult opening fixtures. Not sure what anyone expects a new manager to be able to do when they can't do anything until Xmas window. Do not become a terrible manager over night. Board screwed up getting 2 strikers. Unlucky with injuries. It's a lot of crap now but it will be ok.
I said in the summer the days of throwing money around and assuming success instantly have been gone a long time. 2 wins on the bounce in the league and things will look very different.
Ok it's not a nice time to be a blue but we're all used to that in the last 27 years. All the bigheads/ mouths talking like Jimmy bigballs was fun but ultimately set for a fall. Whoever is in charge would have some bumps along the way. It's going to take 3 or 4 seasons to get to where all the dreamers were expecting this season.
Yeah we spent big for us and yeah that carries an expectation. Totally get that but come on! The club was full of a lot of dead wood. Koeman clearly wanted not only 2 or 3 more in, he wanted 3 or 4 more out.
I also wonder how many chiefs are all throwing in their transfer targets? Not sure how a sought after manager can turn into a fool so quickly. The home support is dreadful. We've become too arrogant too quickly and we need to calm down. I believe RK is the man for the job but admit he is making it harder to support him. But really?
DM back in the hot seat? Pah! As for killing Big Dunc and Rhino. get your heads back in the real world. If we recover to qualify for Europe it will be incredible. Unlikely sure. Top 10 now is going to be a good finish. I have a feeling we will still bounce back to 7th.
I really believe a decent 9 in the window with a fit Bolassie and Coleman giving us width and pace along with a CB and we will be a revelation. Not sure on Mori recovery time but I can see how he would give RK the tools to play how he wants. Basically we are stuck in a rut with no obvious way out. And I think sacking this manager only adds to our woes.

Actually I am proud to say I was wrong.
Proud because as a true supporter who feels very strongly for Everton I refused to write them off before they had even kicked a ball,
Proud because even though I did not want RK as manager I was at least willing to believe in him and give him time,
Proud because even though I did not agree with all of our summer signings I did not write them all off pre-season,
Proud because even now I would welcome BK with open arms after all he has done for us,
Proud because I will not blame the board for this little hic-cup and not cry that they should all be replaced.
Proud, yes because I support Everton.

To be honest for me I was suspicious of Koeman his dour disposition reminded me so much of Moyes! But I believe we need to give the full opportunity!
So many wanted Klopp and his personality is much easier to warm to!
This may sound stupid but I hated the new kit with a vengeance and to me it does have a meaning as a player!
I could not understand how a manager and our board could not get a replacement for Lukaku! Then how we embarrassingly chased Giroud till we had no other option.
So 8 games in we are in the bottom 3 virtually out of Europe and facing a relegation dogfight!
Who there now can change this for the club and the fans?
RSVP Everton board.
