. various press outlets reporting tonight that Moshiri wants Jose Mourinhio to replace the clueless one and is willing to pay his £12 million a year wages! This does add up with the way things have been panning out with what Jose has been saying these past few weeks!

I'd take pickles the dog at the moment prefer big Duncan though.

Agree1 Disagree2

17 Apr 2016 08:00:50
Are you saying you would rather have big Dunc than Jose mourinio.

Agree0 Disagree2

17 Apr 2016 20:30:37
I'd give Dunc until the end of the season just to get rid of Martinez. The players like him and he may be able to put a bit of fire in their bellies. As for Mourinho, keep him away from my club. We have a fantastic academy with U21 players knocking on the door of the senior squad. We also have players on loan earning accolades from managers and fans alike. Taking that into account, can anyone remember when Mourinho brought a junior player through? NEVER! Mourinho means the end of player progression through the club, instead we'd be bringing youngsters on only to sell them on, because the "special one" only buys off the peg.

Ed, in your opinion is there any chance of Martinez leaving before wed? Even a temporary change will give players and fans a lift.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

{Ed025's Note - no mate..

16 Apr 2016 20:25:01
Don't think he will go before the end of the season, but just watched his interview and he look like a guy clutching at straws for an excuse think he knows he must be going.

Agree2 Disagree0

16 Apr 2016 21:30:10
Ed we so poor and getting worse with every game I don't think we could win a game even if we r the only team on the pitch ed if we don't perform on Wednesday or in the semi do u think Bobby will get the sack and be replaced with david unsworth till the end of the season the only players to come out of today's match with any reason to be pleased are the 2 young lads especially Davies who actually closed players down and made tackles which isn't something we seen a lot of this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - it was a horrible performance duke and if it were up to me i would refund all the supporters money it was that bad, there is no togetherness between the players and team spirit is at an all time low but there is still no sign that bobby will go before the end of the season mate, if we are beaten in the semi then maybe it will be looked at but im not holding my breath..

16 Apr 2016 18:48:10
In your opinion ed, is there any chance Martinez will be gone before wed. Surely a change of manager, even temporary will give players and fans a lift.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - i cant see it dan, he wont be fired before the semi imo and will probably get till the end of the season at least mate..

16 Apr 2016 21:16:58
The whole thing is a nightmare and unfortunately Bill Kenwright finds himself in the middle of it, the PR has been a disaster and the Club being made a laughing stock. Mr Moshri must be wondering what the hell he has bought himself into.

Agree0 Disagree3

{Ed002's Note - The club is not a laughing stock Bill. TRy looking closer to home.}

16 Apr 2016 19:18:47
That's a shame, thanks ed.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - no problem dan..

16 Apr 2016 21:46:17
What the heck is wrong with you Ed002, normally I respect your knowledge and opinion. What part of the 138 year old home record being broken in just 3 seasons under this man do you not understand. The guy comes out week in week out with absolute rubbish in his interviews and then we have the likes of yourself having a go at the likes of myself. I give up.

Agree6 Disagree3

{Ed002's Note - Clearly Bill the Everton fans are, like many football fans, not very bright. The support of the team has gone - you have become like the latest incarnation of the Liverpool fans. The fans of old would have shrugged when the got to the bar room and would have hoped the team would have played well the following weekend. Now it has changed - the fans don't support the team, they are on the back of the team, they are upset if the team don't lose. It is a new paradigm we see with some of the "northern" English teams. Nothing to do with tradition or history - that goes with the fans wanting the team to lose in order to get the manager sacked. It is embarrassing and if any one cares enough to "laugh" at Everton, then that is teh reason why.}

16 Apr 2016 22:05:00
Like most of your ilk Ed you resort to insult when opinion does not match your own. You have no idea of my educational background, my career background, connection or knowledge of this great Club. Where in my comments have I ever said I would like my team to lose. Calling someone else not very bright, I would suggest is in all probability a reflection of your own inability to enter cohesive debate.

Agree1 Disagree3

{Ed002's Note - No, you are simply rubbish looking for Everton to lose so you can celebrate when the manager gets sacked. Completely hopeless.}

16 Apr 2016 22:13:32
Laugh all you want Ed002. You obviously have a vendetta against Everton fans. You seem to think you know it all with the vast majority of your comments on this 'Everton' page.

How do you know how bright the Everton supporters are? You don't know the first thing about 99.9% of Everton supporters. Your tarring of groups of people shows your intelligence. You obviously know your stuff about the football end of things.

Doesn't mean you know everything about everything which you seem to think you do. Your the only poster on here who continually write annoying and negative put down comments on an extremely regular bases.

O yea, but its all the Everton supporters fault not yours. Your getting as bad Bobby brown shoes. Don't give a toss if you don't put this up. Your replies to my fellow blues on here go way over the line, way too much of the time.

Ed025 on the other is the best down to earth Ed on here. Ed033 came out last year and said we would get nowhere under this manager and he or she (don't know the first thing about Ed033 and won't assume to) is completely right.

Yet we are supposed to put with it, say nothing and support the team.

Agree0 Disagree4

{Ed002's Note - You are very low grade football supporters who are obsessed with the team losing such that all of this new monety can be spent by Mourinho when he arrives. Zip, understanding of the game and how it works, Zip understanding about the business. Zip support for the club. Maybe when Mourinho arrives he could attract some decent fans? You probably don't know, but those that support the club and the players and want to see the team win.}

16 Apr 2016 23:12:51
Ed002 great post. New to posting but follow the site regularly. Fans are far too quick to fall on the side of negativity. Even Koeman was aware of this in his pre match comments. I am no fan of Martinez but until he is sacked I for one will continue to support the team. It's bills fault, it's Martinez fault, I told you so. It's all that's on here lately and we are a week from a FA cup semi final.

This is a rumour/ gossip site for entertainment. People have dreams so let them dream.

16 Apr 2016 22:31:36
Ed you can be a little blunt on times, but I agree with you 100%. I get frustrated reading the same negative posts on here as I do watching us underachieving. It's embarrassing being an Everton fan not because of our league position but how a lot of our fans turn as soon as a player makes a mistake. I don't even think a new manager would stop the jeers : (

Ed002: it is quite interesting to consider the psychology of modern football "fans" - as individuals and as members of a group. There have always been times of hope, expectation, disappointment, joy, etc., for supporters when following their favourites, but these days there seems to be a feeling of entitlement - that we "deserve" success by right, and it's simple to achieve, and that those deemed responsible for any "perceived" failure must be incompetent, crooked, uncaring and lazy for not waving the magic wand, spending the mega-bucks, and delivering success. Having, (and expressing) opinions - whether thought-through or knee-jerk - is fine, but the idea that an ordinary average fan has any real comprehension of what it really takes to run a modern football club is - in my humble (and, I concede, also relatively uniformed) opinion - just mind staggeringly daft. By the same token, that doesn't mean that the fans expressing an opinion aren't bright or are insincere or should be laughed at. I think it's the modern era of instant gratification, worshiping of celebrity, overhyping of players, and the mass-market pressure on fans to expect, demand - and pay for - their regular fix of "therapy" when attending a match - whether that's by enjoying the football or revelling in the schadenfreude of others failing or wallowing in the self-pitying self-deluding despair of perceived under-achievement. Don't get me wrong - aspiring for success, wanting to win, enjoying attractive footbal are all fine things, but the expectation that it's easy to achieve and that we're being denied our destiny by evil forces is madness - sheer madness. It's good craic, but it ain't reality. A sound strategic plan - covering ALL aspects of the club both on and off the field - that is intelligently executed by owners, directors, staff, players to the best of their abilities - and that is supported by the fans wholeheartedly (but not without justifiable criticism when appropriate) seems to me the way forward. It's tough for the ordinary fan (like me) to be patient and understanding, but until I'm in a position to buy a controlling interest in the club, then I have to trust those who are the current custodians. All I can do is support the players on the field and encourage them to play well and without fear - I'm sure they know when they've not done their jobs.
Oh, it's such a hard life being an addicted football fan - any fan, but especially an Evertonian ;-)

ED 25, I know the return of Moyes, is about as popular with you, as it is with the majority of supporters, myself included, but, if the clueless one does finally get his long over due p45, do you see this as the most likey appointment?

Believable1 Unbelievable4

{Ed025's Note - personally no jcw, i know hes a good friend of bills and he admires him but it would be a backward step and i dont think moshiri would sanction it mate..

16 Apr 2016 15:00:51
I would welcome Moyes back although not my first choice.

Agree3 Disagree3

{Ed025's Note - he would be my last choice mate..

16 Apr 2016 19:39:19
On Moyes I disagree Ed so forgive me, I would have him back in a heartbeat, just step back and compare him with this fella. On Martinez this is getting ridiculous now, most would have said that the guy is a nice person but personally I am beginning to think it is a cover for his inadequacies. A person would have to be made of stone, ignorant to the point of bigotry (the definition of my opinion is the only one that matters) or just plain stupid (and Mr Martinez is not stupid) not to realise that either his methods or his choice of staff are the cause of this Great Clubs lack of progress. I hope to NAAFI break that even our illustrious Chairman is now seeing the light.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Apr 2016 23:20:34
Lets put these Moyes back post to bed now please.
An interesting stat on the radio this evening if Martinez gets to the FA cup final he will have won more points in 1 season than Moyes did and will have equalled or bettered everything he did in the cups in 3 years compared to Moyes tenure of however many years.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2016 07:30:50
RM inherited a much better side, a side that was moving forwards. Whoever takes over has got a re-building job to do because RM has taken us back 12 years. So many useless stats in football. You have just come up with more.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - he did inherit a good side nick and in the first season improved us, sadly that looks like a flash in the pan as this team has crumbled since and it looks like confidence is at an all time low mate..

17 Apr 2016 08:19:50
Going back to the original post, I personally believe that Moyes will be a back up in case they don't land preferred targets. Then again who says we are even looking for a new manager?

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Apr 2016 10:29:51
That's what I mean ed. you can't compare RMs finishing positions, points tally etc to moyes' and say Martinez is a better manager as sidutton has tried to above when RM inherited a far better side than moyes did. If he stays we will get relegated next year. I'm as desperate as any blue to win a trophy and hope we win the fa cup but something is telling me it could be the worst thing to happen in the clubs history. Lukaku would still leave and would you trust RM to spend 200mil? Not a chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i dont compare the 2 nick, moyes got us out of a hole and done a good job, but in the end was not good enough to take us any further and we played dire football to achieve that aim, in martinez we have a media friendly guy who has great attacking ideas but the team has spiraled downwards with him at the helm and defensively we are a complete mess..also not good enough mate..

I've heard Tony Bellew fight at Goodison Park to be announced at today's game. If true seems new owner and marketing team already having a positive impact.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

16 Apr 2016 10:16:23
It would be a positive impact if the put RM in the ring with him mate, LOL.

Agree4 Disagree0

16 Apr 2016 10:41:33
Ha deffo, just hope Bellew doesn't go into a corner as he won't have practiced how to defend himself.

Agree3 Disagree0

16 Apr 2016 10:41:36
Haha is rite stig that's a shout that mate I'd be looking for some ringside seats for that after all Bobby is middleweight champion of the world (in bull)

Agree1 Disagree1

16 Apr 2016 11:44:31
I think the ball was rolling on bellews fight at goodison Park long before the new owner so I'm not too sure he had much say in it anyway.

Agree1 Disagree1
