WTF Happened To Everton?

[@lukelbc9534]

Everton remind me of villa years ago where they went from challenging for the top 4 to eventual relegation, years of poor running of the club & poor requirement led to it, the biggest mistake from villa in the end was selling their top goalscorer benteke & not replacing him, sounds familiar

Hopefully it will turn out well on sunday, but I´m far from sure. Relegation could be catastrophic. Staying in the PL - well, probably a new season like the last two. It´s hard to be a fan of the club, but this is what dedication is made of. Bad times, even though it´s more than just a phase. We want to see Everton in the top of the league again.

I think what we need is a consistent CAM, we’ve had Arteta, Cahill, Barkley and Sigurdsson do amazing in that position. Someone who can play like de bruyne for example.

[@MrSmith1984]

The way I see it: *Everton never properly replaced Lukaku, Stones, Deulofeu & Richarlison. *Everton didn't spend anywhere near what was actually needed (£1-2 Billion) to build a Top 4 Squad from scratch, while the money that was actually spent on Transfers was spent on players that where simply not good enough to play for a Top 6 club. *Everton has almost no CBs that could Defend over the past 6 years, all the while having only 1 Striker (Calvert-Lewin, whose has injury issues of late) that could actually finish since Lukaku left. It's no surprise then that Everton (like many a Mid-Table club on bad firm) is currently fighting a Relegation Battle. Regardless, the best advice I could give is to sell the Everton to Liverpool FC. Mainly because the former cannot seriously claim to be even the 2nd best club in Merseyside and that Liverpool itself can only really sustain 1 World Class Club.

With respect, this video doesn't make the main point explicitly. Everton's issue is that they're sitting on a pot of gold, which they're not allowed to spend. In their attempt to avoid violating FFP rules, Everton's net spend has been approximately zero since January of 2021. While the rest of the PL continues to invest, we've spent nothing this season & nothing last season. Together with an unusually high number of injuries, that's why we've struggled in 21/22 and 22/23.

Everton fan here. 100% on the board. When he came to the club, Moshiri said he wanted "A big name on the touchline" so he went for Koeman. That was the start of our problems there. You talk about a lack of forward thinking in the player signings and it was the same at manager level. Picking a manager with a long term plan (Koeman had one eye on the Barca job) and putting a good recruitment team behind him from the start should have been the way. Instead the backroom teams are an old boys club of ex-players we've given a job to. Our youth acadamy produces barely anyone of note despite the great facilities we have (Barkley, Tom Davies & Anthony Gordon in 10 years) and we seem to think hiring a manager to coach a team with players made up from 5 or 6 previous managers who aren't performing then firing the manager the second things go inevitable wrong is the way to go. Moshiri needs to get rid of the entire senior management/board-room, Kenright, Barret-Baxendale et-al need moving on. Bring in a competent team with good knowledge of how to run an actual football club from top to bottom, youth level to first team and provide that support to the DOF and Manager going forward. I'm not hopeful he has the balls to do it though.

Lampard will do better with Thelwell at his side rather Brand. Will reserve the compliment until we are safe in the league as every points count from now till end of the season onwards. Need to hit 40 points mark and we are still very far away...

Dont think you will go down... know how you feel as I'm a villa fan.. we had years of bad management and ended up being relegated, and nearly out of business... but sometimes getting relegated is like a big reset for the club... clear the decks and start a new from top to bottom, so it's not all bad.. plus the championship was great fun when you are the biggest club in it.. so chin up Everton fans, it might seem like it's all doom and gloom but it's not... villa starting on the up again now that clown Gerrard as gone.. your turn will come...

You were only saved from financial ruin due to your new owners and Grealish being amazing 2nd half half the season you were promoted, if you hadnt of been promoted that season you would have been screwed, secondly you weren't the biggest team in the championship, both Newcastle and Leeds were down there during the same time as you and both bigger clubs.
