"I don't know if a club like Everton can make big huge strides, but we have seen how the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford are doing so there is no reason we all shouldn't have those ambitions to try and at least match those clubs and how they go about it."
This is a quote from our manager when asked about his aims for the club.
To try and at least match Bournemouth and Brentford?
Not exactly inspiring words for supporters to hear, and what does a club like Everton mean exactly?
{Ed025's Note - im not surprised at all Brass..

Well, we have sure had that in the past, no reason not to expect it again, mate.
20 Jun 2026 12:35:57
Hardly inspiring words, GB. I would hope our aim would be to get back to the top where we belong. It will take time, of course, but aiming at Bournemouth and Brentford?
20 Jun 2026 12:56:24
Ok JB, read that post wrong. We need to aim above them, would be an achievement to get in the top eight, mate.
20 Jun 2026 13:03:55
Top 6 would be an achievement and a step in the right direction. The only way to break into the next level is regular European football.
20 Jun 2026 13:28:46
Top six is mighty high. Will have to be an excellent window for us, good few first teamers will have to be moved on, mate.
{Ed025's Note - just 4 little words GB...Nil Satis Nisi Optimum mate.. that does not translate to lets try and get 8th..
20 Jun 2026 13:44:37
We had a decent team in those days, mate. Shame this lot can't emulate them.
20 Jun 2026 15:41:04
What worries me is if that is the extent of the manager's ambition, is he reflecting the goal of the owners.
If so, we are in deep s*** and can forget " Nil Satis Nisi Optimum."

Would have bitten your hand off if you offered me a move well away from relegation at the start of last season.
The run in was horrendous and largely down to the starting selection and tactics. Despite finishing well away from relegation, it feels like an opportunity missed to finish much higher.
20 Jun 2026 17:02:51
Them words don't fill me with much hope. I feel like he's not the man to take us forward.
{Ed025's Note - it stinks of stagnation to me Bretto..

Just goes to show that he hasn't changed. Overstayed his welcome first time, and should never have been brought back and should only have been given a contract until the end of the season. Let's be honest, anyone barring Dyche would've kept us up.
Surely TFG can't be happy with this attitude, and how can they trust anyone with this lack of ambition with our transfer budget? How can we attract top talent or potential if this is the height of our manager's ambition? It really does feel like a kick in the teeth.

Sorry, I was that annoyed typing my previous post that I meant to add when is Moyes going to realise that we are a massive club and act accordingly rather than saying that we should try to emulate 2 small clubs that have done well.
Sooner he's gone the better.
20 Jun 2026 21:06:22
Get him out ASAP. Dithering stagnated years ago.
20 Jun 2026 22:28:08
Ye agree ed feel like he basically asking for sack.
21 Jun 2026 07:58:56
What he is doing is setting the bar low so anything above halfway in the league looks good. What it really does is show his lack of ambition and what level of manager he is. Don't expect anything to change next season with this man in charge, and if you're happy with mid table then Moyes is your man.

Why are we a huge club? Not won anything in 30+ years, not finished in Europe for 10+. You can't cling onto what happened under Kendall. Thanks to PSR, any club outside the so called big 6 cannot progress. Look at Villa. In the Champions League, they will likely have to sell their best player so they don't breach. It's all set up to stop any other team progressing.
It's not a lack of ambition from Moyes, it's reality, and trying to stop fans getting carried away and being unrealistic. I would love us to be at the top of the tree, but until PSR is removed, no one will ever break into the big 6 again. It's a closed shop, and bordering on disgrace and stopping competition. Clubs need to vote to remove it, and then maybe we can be ambitious.
{Ed025's Note - lets not blame PSR for playing out of form players and not giving youngsters a chance though Chris..and for poor tactics mate..
