I reckon Ole has done enough, and well enough go, to move upstairs.

 

He can be the old wisened head to guide young Davey.

 

Both on lifetime, unbreakable contracts to show how much faith they have in them.

No sniggering at the back part two. The long view? Twenty six years and counting.

It must hurt for you to be in this league forever and immediatley be outshone by two newly promoted similiar sized teams in Villa and Leeds.

Villa are showing tremendous ambition unlike you. I would not be surprised if Everton become the next Newcastle or even worse, Sunderland.

….you see this all the time. Remember Sheffield United doing well, Wolves more recently & even the likes of Middlesborough at one stage.

Everton have been in the top flight of English football more than any other side in the country, even the scab Big 6. We don’t take anything for granted but we tend to see them off and we remain true to the values of the game as we were over 130 years ago when we were founder members in England.

Its tough being an Evertonian but it’s better than supporting a club who hate any other that competes with them.

Blah, blah, blah blah...we are mid-table mediocrity.

Once you accept it, you feel better.

….we are at the moment but things change. I’m very old, United, City, Chelsea, The Reds have all spent seasons out of the top flight in my life. At points they’d have wished they were mid table mediocracy.

True. I think I was 12 before the Reds got promoted to the top flight having been relegated when I was 3!

Modesty and taking the long view are the order of the day at present IMO.

Oh my aching sides. You don't have to be a winner ....

 

 

Any talk of moyes having a glass ceiling is absolute nonsense talk and this myth about him not being able to win trophies.

 

Of course he had a glass ceiling when he was last here. The big 4 at the time were on a different planet with their budget and he constantly had to sell his best players year on year so the gap between us and the big 4 at the time was like that of the Premier league and championship. He effectively won the league for us 3 or 4 times in what was realistic by finishing 5th multiple times and 4th once.

Just been thinking of the time they announced Lucas Neill as, "The man who turned liverpool down."

So staying true to the value of the game and floating around mid table in the premiership are the marks of success. Well I guess if you're everton then it is, the bar is very low. 

 

You have to wonder why they want Uncle Uzzi to jet in and throw his billions around then, surely that wouldn't be 'staying true to the value of the game.' If just existing in the top flight is enough to celebrate then why search for a top manager, why crave some oligarch's billions. 

 

Of course they're just trying to make the best of the shit sandwich that is their club, which is why we have a champions wall and they have a list of firsts that have nothing to do with trophies or success in football. 

 

The most famous thing about them, is us.

Shrodingers Evertonian - they can hold two opposing views at the same with ease! There are people suffering from split personality disorder who are less contradictory than those fuckers! 

 

The Peoples club owned by a billionaire is perfectly compatible in the Evertonian mind. 

[Josef Svejk]

They're upholding the Persian and Central Asian values of the game...

Did he have to sell his best players year on year, or did those best players just want to leave as soon as a better club came calling? Because the two are not the same thing.

Palace on the verge of announcing Nunos as their new manager after he interviewed with everton, allegedly.

 

BS will spin it he wasnt good enough for them if he does go to Palace!

He must have heard about Calvert Lewin joining Palace...

[aws]

Hope he goes there. I don't want to end up disliking him. 

[Anubis]

New narrative - they never offered him a job, decided against him, etc. Potter now becoming more favourable. Some reckon they may have to fight Spurs for a manager. At least it’s proving entertaining!

[El Dangerous]

Wolves we’re fucking turd last season. He definitely jumped before he was pushed. I appreciate they will find goals hard to come by with their star striker out but they could at least try to score. Even so I thought his stock would be higher than Palace. Maybe Evspansyol could appoint Woy.

That's a fucking belting "come and get me" plea. I wonder if spurs would use some of the kane money on him? 

 

As for the Moyes/Martinez stuff,  obviously we'd all love Moyes, but I didn't think Bobby brown shoes was that bad for them. In fact I think they did pretty well at times. I'm sure he was before the moshiri money wasn't he? 

Yeah he did pretty well, but the fan base had got it into their heads that they could do better. 

Finished 5th his first season, his second season got to the semis in both domestic cups, but went on a shit run in the league ending up about 11th, instead of taking that as a positive and using the bad run as an anomaly, or thinking its because they had some European football to get used to, they decided to get cocky and go for some greener grass. 

 

They want instant success, and aren't willing to give a manager the time to build their own team, so now their squad is just a bastard amalgamation of 5 different managers signings.

He was unfortunate to lose Jiminez for half the season but yeah they fell well below where I'd expect them to have.

yeah - but we made that exact call when FSG bombed kenny (well except we made 2 finalsm won one and finished higher than everton!). we had an inevitable drop off that season after qualifying for europe by winning the league cup and that defeat to arsenal made top 4 a struggle and we focussed on the fa cup. to be fair, i didn't agree with sacking kenny either, but i don't think everton's call to bomb bobby brown shoes was that much out of line with how other teams operate, ourselves included.

and they had the double blow of selling jota too. it was a tough season and they were pretty awful to watch, but he kept them out of trouble all year.

Moysie's team wasn't sold off though. Rooney went to Utd, Jelavic went to Real Madrid or Hull, I can't remember anyone leaving. That team grew old together.
