Great game today, was a typical example of us versus weaker opposition from past seasons, no messing around passing it round the back, just straight forward. Been a few years since we've seen a game like that. Nearly every time we've played supposedly weaker teams the last few years we've made a meal of it. Tom Davies looks some player as well.

It is also frustrating when we see that sort of game to know what might have been this season. If only Roberto's ego would have allowed flexibility when managing games he would still be in a job. As it is it has taken Wigan the same 3 years RM was at our Club just to get back to the Championship, that could have been us the season after next.

I apologise for my last post to everyone, still slightly fragile from the Martinez era, onwards and upwards, what was done was done and all that. Listening to Unsy on our youngsters the future is bright. COYB.

I wouldn’t all get to carried away at the moment with everton having a new investor and now are manager has left the club we all need to still be a bit worried as to who is going to be the next manager until that happens I'm still on the fence.

15 May 2016 21:15:35
What are you on?

{Ed033's Note - "still on the fence" ?

Ha ha didn't come quite the way it was ment bloody predicted text but I'm sure you get the point.

A comment from the Newcastle Spurs match was very poignant and extremely relevant to our wonderful Club and its potential given the talent available. 'Imagine the finishing result if Newcastle had been given their heads and freedom to play and adapt from the beginning of the season'. I am sorry to say that unless Roberto is willing to adapt and accept (as we all do, whatever our discipline) that his Philosophy does need tweeking and adapting, his next position will result the same way as Wigan and our great Club under his jurisdiction.

Sorry but could you explain that, not a clue mate.

. I have to say on reflection of what we saw today maybe Jose isn't the right fit for our club. don't get me wrong - I'd dance to high noon if he got the efc job. but what we saw today in Davies, Dowell, Pennington and Kenny was some great youngsters coming through and could you really see any of these guys getting a chance under Jose? If you look at what Koeman has done at Southampton with the young ones like Ward-Prowse etc there and what De Boer has done with the young ones from the Ajax academy I think it would be common sense to assume that De Boer or Koeman are probably a better fit for where our club is right now. I was particularly impressed with 17 yr old Davies who reminds me of a young Peter Reid and I think him and Dowell should def. be at the very least in the 1st team squad from the start of next season. so my thoughts have today changed and after one of the most refreshing and encouraging days at Goodison in a long year I just think now that a Koeman or a De Boer would be a better fit for our club where we are right now!

I like the fact we have brought youngsters through and continue to do so in the future but kids don't win you trophies and if you take wenger's reign out of the acquisition the average length of a prem manager is apparently 1year 7 months so it shows our managers can't look to much at the youth side of things, that's the world we live in today, so yea mourinho may not be the best choice to bring youngsters in but mourinho would bring success, he is my first without a doubt and until he is unavailable he should be the only target.

15 May 2016 20:43:53
A person after my own heart Soli. Posted exactly the same as you above on another part of this board (unfortunately/ fortunately it has been a rather should we say celebratory day today, hence my inability to adhere to correct grammar) Tea and biscuits anyone?

16 May 2016 00:18:39
Koeman before Mourinho yes. De Boer before Mourinho not so sure. Would be happy with De Boer but no premier experience still leaves doubt over how it would go. Don't get me wrong he could potentially be fantastic. My fav is Koeman followed by Mourinho. Either would be fantastic and add enormously to our bright future.

De Boer good appointment too but on the risky side compared to other 2. Have a feeling this time we're going to get a decent manager whoever it is.

15 May 2016 17:28:54
Well done Dowell, Davies, Kenny and Pennington. Showed a bit of desire today, also Super Kev looked up for it today. could of saved Martinez from the sack if he played Kev more. Good final game of the season.

15 May 2016 16:56:21
Can't see koeman coming now, benitez or mourinho if club looking for champions league.

15 May 2016 17:07:59
Koeman is very unlikely.
Benitez will probably stay with Newcastle - especially if he gets full control of transfers.
Mourinho is surely hanging on for the ManUtd job.
But what the heck do I - or any other fan come to that - know about the managerial situation?

15 May 2016 17:24:25
This is what I think will happen regarding Mourinho, Manchester United will wait until after the Cup final then if he wins it he will get his last year if he doesn't then they will give the job to Jose.

so if Utd win cup I would expect us to get Mourinho as he wants to stay in England and we would be the closest he would get to being able to fulfil his ambitions. course I could be completely wrong :) just my opinion.

{Ed033's Note - That sounds logical, but logic and football management don't tend to go together.

Just read RM's statement released through the league managers association. Fair play to him. Nothing but good things to say about the club, players and fans. He seems like a great guy.

Pity it didn't work out here for him but onwards and upwards.

15 May 2016 12:53:27
I hope manager gets in soon as we need him to steady the boat, let's show the big names being linked with a move away we have ambition and that the new manager means business.
Get him in early to meet players before they go on hols, and he can look at strengthening the squad.
I haven't looked forward to the new season before like this.

15 May 2016 14:20:22
Can someone actually tell me what they disagree with haha.

{Ed002's Note - I imagine the idea of rushing a knee jerk decision rather than taking the time to ensure that the right person is appointed.}

15 May 2016 15:08:50
I would actually feel we should take our time, explore every avenue before making a decision. The players will be off in their holidays in a week or off the the euros so the ship can't be steadied before they return for pre season training anyway. May as well take the time and try and make the right appointment, I wouldn't mind if it took a couple of months to get someone in as long as it's the right candidate.

15 May 2016 16:06:32
Well said Ed, it was partly due to the fans (and media to be fair) pressurising for a fast appointment that led to the knee jerk for Roberto and look how that turned out. Also am I the only one that thinks Mourino would not be a good fit for Everton, to be honest the way he has started I would rather have Unsy. The Team look an awful lot happier and the fans are also up for it.

15 May 2016 12:21:55
Is Niasse in the squad today?

15 May 2016 11:19:02
we will win 5-0 today yesss we are back.

15 May 2016 10:50:45
Just a thought why are we thinking about moyes been there done that we a new face in de boar 4 me class act don't think jose will come even think rafa will be a good shout.

15 May 2016 10:46:40
I wish unsworth sour have been given a few games in charge c what he could do as I think he would be a great manager for us.

15 May 2016 08:06:38
Optimistic feeling about the match for first time in ages. Really looking forward to team selection and especially formation.

15 May 2016 09:35:35
Not looked forward to a match for a while now, let's start again today. COYB.

15 May 2016 09:55:11
I agree Blues, can't remember last time I was excited about a game.
