@Piprob1962@richardajkeys Absolute nonsense to suggest Everton would have gone down. Was already stated there was no sporting advantage gained. That Everton team was dreadful, as bad as it gets. Any team that finished below them very much deserved relegation.
If fans want Ndiaye sold because of drop off in form then David Moyes protecting youngsters from all you fucking loon balls was certainly a good decision.
Billionaires don’t have bank accounts like you and me. They have art collections, Yachts,Mansions,Stocks. None of it gets taxed until they sell it. So they just never sell it. They borrow against it instead. Live off the loans. Pay almost nothing. Then when they die, their kids inherit it all tax-free. The wealth never gets taxed, It just gets passed down. And we wonder why the gap keeps getting wider.
@Everton By unnecessarily whacking 10% increases on your season tickets, all the while throwing away millions in prize money by giving up on the pitch weeks ago.
The interviews both last week and yesterday sum David Moyes up. He’s done well to steady the ship, but let’s be honest the ship was only sinking because Dyche had thrown in the towel. We finish the season behind Brentford, Bournemouth, Sunderland and Fulham only 5 points above Forest. In terms of ability, no one will convince me that some of our players are indeed footballers. But most of the players are good enough to compete and take us above those teams. In terms of a culture, things need change. The business is (now) thriving, the stadium is world class. This season I’ve been to more games than I have for a long time. Every home game and most away, missing just a handful. I won’t have it that we’re not ready yet and that we should stay in our lane. With that attitude and never believing in investing in younger players, we never will be. And that’s Moyes all over. It was like this first time around - set up not to lose, use your stalwarts - the same now. The club is in a much healthier place now than it was back then. We don’t need safe and we don’t need stability; we need progress, we need creativity and we need innovation. We’ve seen none of that. It’ll be another 30 years before silverware if we stick with this philosophy. Little old Everton perpetually underperforming, staying in lane and suffering imposter syndrome when the ‘big teams’ turn up to play us….. here’s the thing, there’s not a single team I’ve seen us play this season who we couldn’t have beaten. Not one. The business model is sound but the football mentality is rotten - and that needs to change.
Roma securing champions league while Everton are ‘knowing our place’ and letting the big boys walk all over us, because that’s the philosophy that’s now acceptable.
NSNO…. I don’t think so.
Time for a real change.
Have a nice summer all, enjoy the World Cup 👍💙
@Everton Make no mistake, that’s a really poor season, culminating in a dreadful run of results, where the only tactical change we made throughout was a starting to use a pathetic rugby-style kick off routine.
