Sack him for Christ sake.
1.) 23 Nov 2024 17:27:49
Who will sack him?
2.) 23 Nov 2024 17:58:26
I will do it!
3.) 23 Nov 2024 18:12:35
I think if we all boycott the game like me they won't have much choice.
4.) 23 Nov 2024 18:25:29
Agree skylark i won't be going and i can't watch us till he gets sacked breaks my heart seeing this club in decline i have said for last 4 years including this season we will get relegated with this clown in charge.
5.) 23 Nov 2024 19:18:58
If you are season ticket holders then the only ones you will hurt are yourselves as they already have your money. Voicing your opinions in the game might well get the message over. Oh and a banner saying "No Moyes" as well ?.
{Ed025's Note - i will sign that banner Nick..
6.) 23 Nov 2024 20:49:57
Get thee behind me ?.
22 Oct 2024 17:58:18
Been reading some bad things about Friedkin some saying we are in for a bad time and it's not all going to as rosey as some think. Can any of the eds shed some light.
{Ed002's Note - It is going to be different. They will put a leadership in place and largely step back.}
1.) 22 Oct 2024 22:43:50
If it is good Leadership/ Trusted delegation then that's a good thing.
2.) 23 Oct 2024 08:59:23
If, is a very very big word.
3.) 23 Oct 2024 10:58:28
Why would anybody make a considerable outlay from their own money and set out with the intention of not wanting their investment to be successful?
Let us judge him once he is in and had some time to put his plans in place, rather than already parroting negative hearsay.
He will be hard pushed to be worse than Moshiri.
{Ed025's Note - im with you BN..
4.) 23 Oct 2024 11:36:49
Agree BlueNose time will tell.
5.) 23 Oct 2024 12:24:15
Agreed BlueNose. I swear some people on here love to believe the worst in everything that we do.
6.) 23 Oct 2024 12:29:23
I raised the same point some weeks ago. The Roma fans are certainly up in arms. Probably a lot of fog coming out of Italy. Surely we aren't jumping from the pot to the pan, are we gulp? Can anything be worse than the Moshiri era? I look forward to the new era.
{Ed025's Note - i think 777 may have been worse Nick, we dodged a bullet there mate and we just have to hope TFG are the right fit, whoever we get has to be an upgrade on Mohiri i would think..
7.) 23 Oct 2024 12:30:53
Fingers crossed lads.
I am personally optimistic. My confidence stems from not only his successful business decisions but also his personal accolades. Seems like an intelligent bloke to me. I imagine he will be aware of his limitations and not be afraid to consult and delegate with/ to industry professionals, as opposed to the illogical approach Moshiri had.
8.) 23 Oct 2024 13:00:16
I wasn't having a go, I was just saying what I've read, I just hope we all aren't being led false hopes,
9.) 23 Oct 2024 13:13:58
Unfortunately, we won't know until they rock up and take over the club, skylark. We've just got to hope that they are considerably better than what we've endured the last 8 years or so. Everything in life comes with a certain risk but I think we should all hold our tongues until they give us something to moan about! The day FM leaves is going to be a good day for the club, the start of a new era. Hopefully it is a successful era and better times are in touching distance.
10.) 23 Oct 2024 14:03:00
You’d hope they’d run us more like a business than moshiri has.
They’ve done relatively ok with Roma - since takeover 3 6th placed finishes and won the Europa Conference league which was their first silverware in quite a while.
However they had finished in the top 3 a few seasons before the takeover.
I think some of the complaints from Roma fans is the sacking of club legend De Rossi - however he had a winless start to the season and the club were 16th when he was sacked - surely an owner who makes decisions based on football results rather than sentiment is what we’ve wanted for a long time.
Not sure why anyone is worrying about the takeover though as there’s nothing we as fans can do other than get behind the team and support them.
Fingers crossed we’re finally moving in the right direction.
11.) 23 Oct 2024 14:33:04
Yes Ginger the league positions are impressive. I would be delighted if we can emulate same. Upwards and onwards. COYB.
12.) 23 Oct 2024 15:04:06
Good times ahead I’m sure.
13.) 23 Oct 2024 15:46:08
The guy isn’t through the door yet, just support the team and hope his first move is to bin Dyche and get us playing football again. That would be a start.
14.) 23 Oct 2024 18:24:17
Hallelujah to that ?.
15.) 23 Oct 2024 21:14:20
As long as we start paying players what they are worth and we aren’t hamstrung by PSR due to the way we are financed, it will be a vast improvement.
Get in some people who know how to actually run a club and it would be ideal.
Finally deliver some football that has us challenging in matches and competitions and it would be exactly what we want.
This is Everton though. We will likely lose our best assets and end up in administration and striped for parts….
16.) 23 Oct 2024 23:03:29
The only hope is that we avoid ridiculously inept management of this club and a sensible transfer policy with an eye on re-establishing our status as a solid EPL side. I don't think we can compare the gripes that Roma fans have. They are after all a relatively successful club that is used to contesting at the higher end of their championship and domestic and Euro cups. We are a disaster on fire and sinking into obscurity. If they can clear the debt, give us a moderate transfer kitty and steady the ship for the next 5 years, that's a massive success. They'll then be into phase 2 of the restructure and they either sell us on for a healthy profit or they then have a relatively good foundation to push us on to where us fan demand to be.
Not being tipped by a super computer to be relegated and or to be fighting for survival to the wire would be a massive improvement. Oh and no more shady mismanagement resulting in legal cases and point deductions would also be refreshing. If they get us in the top 10 year after year then we would be attractive to further investment or someone with more ambitions would be sniffing about to either launch a buyout or invest. This stadium is going to be FMs greatest achievement and in the coming 10 years will be beyond comprehension how it's going to change our future. We may even forgive the era and thank him for what he did? Ok too soon but the money will start to roll and do to the better times. Sadly as a man in his late 40s I can't see how we ever win the title (ever again) but it'd be nice to watch us in the CL before I'm in my late 60s and maybe finally win that league cup? Its not that much to ask is it?
17.) 24 Oct 2024 07:47:51
the thing with the Roma discontent, is that it's only very recent
& that's because they sacked club legend De Rossi very early this season, rightly or wrongly
before that they were regarded as one of the most liked ownerships in Italy, but since as you can see it's gone wrong
for us though i think it's still quite positive, shows a ruthlessness we maybe haven't had even towards club icons.
{Ed001's Note - that's not true, they hired Mourinho to quell discontent among the fans and the sacking of him caused it to rise up again. De Rossi just added to it mate.}
18.) 24 Oct 2024 15:10:09
What do you think of them Ed01? Liverpool have had some good times under American ownership….
{Ed001's Note - I don't know much about them to be honest. Only that Roma fans were annoyed with them, but they are scum who think stabbing people from behind is a good way to greet visiting away fans, so them not liking Friedkin makes me more inclined to like him!}
19.) 25 Oct 2024 17:29:25
It will be a stepping stone for both parties. Everton will improve under them and will become a more prospective buying option. The Friedkins will move on and it might just get us into the thinking for the new super league which is inevitable.
20.) 25 Oct 2024 23:16:55
Some funny stuff. There’s nothing to report but they still have to and they’re trying negative angles. It’s not like we’re being passed from one paedo uncle to another, this uncle hopefully has some morals.
04 Apr 2024 21:15:04
So rumors have it some players are turning on SD, they won't name names but the rebellion is starting, apparently it's been over heard.
1.) 04 Apr 2024 22:03:01
Probably by Doris the tea lady Skylark ?. However, I can imagine it as players start fighting for their EPL futures.
2.) 05 Apr 2024 00:48:01
I'm turning on him also Skylark.
3.) 05 Apr 2024 10:09:54
I think most of us are at the moment let’s hope a win against Burnley can start to change things.
4.) 05 Apr 2024 10:12:41
Everyone loves a rumour.
Mark my words, it will be the players with stiff necks.
31 Mar 2024 18:22:20
Ed who is in charge at the club at the moment?, who would have the final say on SD as this run he is on surly cannot carry on.
{Ed002's Note - Farhad Moshiri remains in charge until, hopefully he can get the takeover done with 777 Partners.
1.) 31 Mar 2024 21:52:18
Thanks ed.
2.) 01 Apr 2024 00:46:13
Out of interest ed002. I doubt it would happen as there is always someone who will buy a football club. But, in the event 777 fell through, and FM could not get a buyer, he would be stuck with us. What would his options be and, where would it leave us?
{Ed002's Note - Moshiri would need to obtain funding to keep the club running - there are loans secured against Goodison Park, there is money owed to MSP, Metro Bank and of course the money loaned by 777 Partners to pay wages etc..}
3.) 01 Apr 2024 12:41:02
To put it bluntly we are in an absolute mess. Moshiri seems to have disappeared when it matters . Are 777 the answer? Not for me when you look at the other clubs they own . They are not happy. Are they hanging on in the hope that they get the club at a reduced cost?
Probably! Since Usmanov has gone it has turned into a s$%t show.
4.) 01 Apr 2024 12:53:18
They've already bought half of it.
01 Dec 2023 16:55:20
Reports Beto is leaving.
1.) 01 Dec 2023 18:10:00
Who is buying him?
2.) 01 Dec 2023 18:11:16
Wow mate where did you read that.
3.) 01 Dec 2023 18:40:12
On a news feed. Milan I think it said.
4.) 01 Dec 2023 18:40:38
AC Milan.
5.) 02 Dec 2023 12:58:40
Well he's not getting a chance. He looks sharp when he comes on but who's going to be happy with 2 or 3 minutes a game every week?
6.) 02 Dec 2023 13:34:08
Now saying Godfrey is also leaving.
7.) 02 Dec 2023 13:49:07
Let’s be honest, his goal record isn’t great wherever he’s been and he’s nowhere near as good as DCL so if we get the money back on him I say sell. We only need a cheap and decent backup Beto at his price needed to be a starter and he isn’t upto it so unless we sell DCL unfortunately we can’t afford to have a £30m striker on the bench!
8.) 02 Dec 2023 14:10:46
Who’s the cheap and decent back up?
9.) 02 Dec 2023 15:47:15
DCL goal scoring record isn't that good either.
10.) 02 Dec 2023 21:00:19
Previous posted concerns about Beto and from what I’ve seen he will never cut it in the premiership.
Very little pace, not very good in the air and poor ball control skills.
If we can shift him in January it will save us having to fork out the transfer fee the end of next year because the guy is worse than Tosan.
{Ed025's Note - a bit harsh that Fancy imo, he was poor today i agree but he has not had a run in the side yet and it seems a pit premature to write him off just yet mate..
11.) 02 Dec 2023 21:26:29
Ed, if a player has anything about him it is obvious in his balance and movement, I haven’t seen anything that would suggest Beto could be a force in the EPL.
Chermiti, although raw, shows signs of developing into a player and for me should have been introduced earlier today.
Also, why Sean continues to select Young against wingers with pace and ball skill is beyond me.
{Ed025's Note - i agree on Young Fancy and cant believe he is a regular starter myself, but im giving Beto the benefit of the doubt at the minute mate, we might just need him more than we think..
12.) 02 Dec 2023 21:35:14
Let's not forget Dom's injury record before we go someone cheap and cheerful. Beto has not been given a chance. The prem is a hard place to come, very very few hit the ground running.
{Ed025's Note - im with you Chris..
13.) 03 Dec 2023 00:30:06
He has been managed very poorly imo. When he first came, albeit against Doncaster, he changed that game for us and showed a great finish. He was unlucky not to score against Sheffield and caused them bother the whole time he was on the game. He had a great assist when he came on against Burnley for Young's goal.
To say he has no pace and is crap in the air is just b*ll*cks. Even if he hasn't had the chance to prove it concretely for Everton yet, go and watch him for Udinese where he actually got a decent run in the side for a season.
It is hard luck for him that DCL has been fit for a run of games for the first time in years, in which time DCL has performed poorly himself.
Comparing the lad to Tosun is even more b*ll*cks. He has had the end of matches to come on and try and build some confidence. Yes the lad snatched at some chances today but that is because he is so desperate to make an impact for us. Had he been given some backing since he has been here, things would likely be a lot different.
As JB said, who is this mythical cheap backup . Maupay?
14.) 03 Dec 2023 08:55:28
The backup can be anyone. Sheff utd signed Cameron archer for half the price who has scored 3 prem goals and has bags of potential. We will see how he turns out but I’m with fancy the last is pants and his scoring record at udinese proves it. Typical of our scouts to think £30m on 10 goals in a season in one of the slowest leagues in Europe makes him a good fit for the prem!
15.) 03 Dec 2023 16:46:16
Sorry but backup can’t be anyone. It has to be someone who is going to push to compete for the place. Not just be there as a fill in.
16.) 03 Dec 2023 19:49:26
Agree worburn. Can't just buy bench warmers or back ups. Need players who push for places, not to sit on bench til 89th minutes. Will never push forward as a club doing that.
{Ed025's Note - the thing is guys that better players cost more and want assurances about game time, its a very delicate balance and we may have to go fishing in the lower leagues to get hungry up and coming players on our budget..
17.) 03 Dec 2023 21:04:23
Do you envisage a lot of sales again to balance the books Ed25?
{Ed025's Note - not necessarily BR, i think there is a chance one of our better players may have to be sacrificed and that could mean either DCL or Onana i think, the main issue will be bringing players in and im thinking we will be looking in the loan market in January, and that could even be the case in the summer actually..
18.) 04 Dec 2023 17:26:34
I think the lad just needs a goal to build his confidence, you saw what his assist meant to him. The good thing is he’s getting in the positions to score, albeit he’s missing them currently, at least he’s getting in those positions and suits our style, the team plays better with him than a Maupay. A goal and some confidence hopefully he’ll become more clinical. I’d give him at least until the end of the season.
19.) 04 Dec 2023 20:22:33
Dyche seems to favour a settled first 11, and we can see some benefits of that. No doubt there’ll have to be more rotation in December. Surprised we’ve seen so little of Danjuma. Can we loan more players in January?
20.) 05 Dec 2023 04:19:13
It would be suicidal to let DCL go, ed25. I'd rather it was Onana out of the two, providing we don't get our pants pulled down over any deal.
Regarding Beto, I think we have found another dud. Might be a tad harsh but I've seen absolutely nothing to suggest he can cut it in the prem. Granted, he hasn't been given much of a go but his touch, heading and shooting haven't inspired confidence. I hope he turns it around but I think time is ticking for him already. Reminds be of the Strac with slightly less ability.
{Ed025's Note - i dont think anyone wants DCL or any of our top players to go bp, but the fact is books have to be balanced because we dont want any more penalties for finance breaches mate, now i dont know how the sums are adding up at the moment but with our recent history we have to be very careful, there is also the scenario where the players themselves may want to leave of course?, in the end they are just transient employees and transfers happen all the time, i agree though that if Dom, Jarrad, Jordan or Amadou were to leave it would be a massive blow..
21.) 05 Dec 2023 13:31:17
That's understandable ed25 if we really need to get rid of a player to balance the books. I just think Onana is the one we wouldn't miss too much out of those you mentioned. We've done OK without him the last month or so and he has so. e resale value. With DCL, even if he doesn't score he occupies defenders and makes space for others. We need him more than onana I reckon mate. Hopefully we're not forced to sell anyone unless it's through choice.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely bp, my biggest worry would be Jarrad mate, he is forging a great reputation for himself and i know a lot of the big boys are interested in him, he has just signed a new 4 year deal but is that to keep him or to maximize his sell on value?, i really hope we dont sell any of our better players of course but in the end money talks..
22.) 06 Dec 2023 15:09:07
I think lots of foreign players need at least a season in the Premier league to settle down, new surroundings new home etc. They just need to find their feet etc I think Beto will come good. I think we'll not see the best of him this season though.
23.) 07 Dec 2023 12:49:43
Agree, ed025, I'd like to keep him for another few seasons but I suppose it all depends on our finances. It's going to be an interesting window when it opens mate.
TT, I hope you're right mate and he will come good but he isn't inspiring me with confidence whenever he plays. Maybe a goal will start the ball rolling for him? At the moment, he just reminds me of Strac and Niasse, nice fellas who work hard but just aren't at the required level. I hope I'm wrong.
24.) 07 Dec 2023 21:52:37
Let’s hope that goal kick starts a fine run for him.
25.) 07 Dec 2023 22:28:31
Definitely, BR23. Really hope he kicks on from here.

But if wind and a game of football is called off, nany state strikes again.
1.) 07 Dec 2024 11:33:06
It's the correct decision, it's absolutely treacherous outside. The safety of the fans is paramount and that can't be guaranteed in this weather.
2.) 07 Dec 2024 12:19:07
Wasn't a problem back in the day. We went the game in worse conditions
Let's just agree to disagree.
3.) 07 Dec 2024 13:19:28
Mate, this isn't safe for thousands of people to be walking around. There's been plenty of games, back in the day, that have fallen foul of such weather as well. Ridiculous OP really but, hey ho, let's agree to disagree.
4.) 07 Dec 2024 13:20:34
Let’s bring everything back from ‘back in the day’ then?
