The club would of been criticised either way. We are having no luck with the gambles we take. We need something to come off & give us a bit of a spark

Catch 22. If we put a clause in to return imjured player then we probably would of fronted the cost of the loan while injured when he arrived. Gamble thats back fired

Till that takeover is signed sealed & delivered then survival is the height of our ambition. Once the takeover is completed the PSR noose around our necks will loosen & actually allow us to compete instead of being slowly suffocated by the EPL
December 15, 2024 at 12:47 AM
Its all opinions but sometimes people over simplify issues. We have been forced to stand still due to PSR. If you’re standing still, you’re regressing. We have no means to improve things. Of course SD could be braver in certain games but if we stay up thats all that matters. Huge summer ahead
December 15, 2024 at 12:41 AM
Bit of an exaggeration. Unfortunately our aim is too stay up. If he keeps us up then job done. New owners, new stadium, new manager with hopefully the potential to actually improve the squad with genuine quality
December 15, 2024 at 12:35 AM
Its not “he” its “we” live by. Thats the position we are in. Maintaining PL survival. Nothing more nothing less. If you are in the bottom 3 for net spend regularly guess where you will end up eventually?
December 15, 2024 at 12:24 AM
Hes partly responsible but he has very little means to change things from subs or buying players. Our midfield & forward line is poor in the attacking sense. How often do you see our CM give cheap possession away?
If you play attacking football with our MF we will have a lot more worse days
December 15, 2024 at 12:20 AM
If you can’t buy quality & technical players then you will struggle. We can’t score goals & don’t create enough. We don’t have the money to improve that area. If we do find a player like an Onana they will quickly be moved on to balance the books. Back at square 1. Everything rests on the takeover
December 15, 2024 at 12:06 AM
Everyone wants better for our club but we dont have the £ to do better. We have been hampered by PSR which has literally killed us. Essentially we are in survival mode till next season.
December 14, 2024 at 11:57 PM
The argument has been we can’t afford to sack him till the takeover is completed. Thats the reality we face. Everyone agrees SD is not the way forward but he was brought in to keep us up & he’s done that. IMO SD will see his contract out barring disaster.

Mostly down to lack of money
December 12, 2024 at 2:22 PM
For that to happen the structure needs to be there. We dont have a functioning board. AWOL owner. PSR restrictions. A manager that can work within DOF framework.
With new ownership & management then KT can begin to do his job properly without all these restrictions
December 12, 2024 at 9:38 AM
But thats down to the structure rather than KT. If the manager continually over rules his judgement then the issues lays with the manager. KT has been harshly judged IMO. He’s worked under extremely difficult circumstances & has identified talent for what ever reason haven’t been able to sign.
December 12, 2024 at 9:26 AM
The issue isn’t KT but the structure. Replacing KT with another DOF isn’t going to solve it. We’ve seen this with Walsh, Brands now Thelwell. We need a manager who can work within the DOF framework or scrap the DOF role, which in todays game is not the way forward.

It is. UTFT

Hopefully new ownership- new beginnings
November 30, 2024 at 11:12 PM
Ye just realised it was you who wrote it 🙈😂
Totally agree with everything you said. As fans we need to play our role. Not call for the managers/ DOF head at the 1st sign of trouble. Nothing will be achieved if your changing every 18 months like we have recently
November 30, 2024 at 10:45 PM
Sadly football has totally changed & as fans we need to change. We need to stop living in the past & create a new Everton.
November 30, 2024 at 10:35 PM
IMO the owner takes the blame. Hes the 1 who signed the checks, done the hiring & firing. Got involved when not needed. Created chaos with no plan. Just all reactionary to fans feelings
November 30, 2024 at 10:18 PM
There has been a financial squeeze on us. We have to sell our better players & replace them with lesser quality. Its been a slow & painful decline. We dont score enough goals so stats like coming from behind to win are more evident
November 30, 2024 at 10:11 PM
Thats been an issue for years not just a Dyche issue
November 30, 2024 at 10:02 PM
