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 👍💙
#TFG has bought a club with History…A passionate Loyal Educated fan base…travel in the numbers any day anywhere…What TFG has inherited…a club with no direction…a failing academy…years of poor leadership and accountability…Managers such as Dyche-Allardyce-Benitez actually given the honour to lead this club…I don’t believe we should bring a past manager in…didn’t work with HK and they will have all their excuses ready for the blame game…But What #TFG has…is an opportunity to showcase their knowledge and understanding the opportunity they have…don’t follow suit like previous ownership…you get this club right and you will be rewarded so much more than you may think…@Everton
Been a backer of Dyche but enough is enough….if Everton want to be playing in the Premier League in the new stadium, the time has come for change + a new manager before it’s too late 💙 #EFC
I've sat through Walter Smith, the bad Moyes days, Allardyce and Benitez amongst others. The football we are playing is up there with the worst of it. The most basic, alehouse stuff. You can turn a blind eye when it gets results, but we've won 5 games in our last 26 league games
Hold on a minute.
#ManUtd have been let off of £70m+ of losses due to “exceptional circumstances” when #efc & #nffc get the book thrown at them, whilst #nufc have to sell players to avoid a breach!?
This reeks. #EPL is corrupt to the core
Everyone at Everton is deeply saddened by the death of our former striker Kevin Campbell at the age of just 54.
Not just a true Goodison Park hero and icon of the English game, but an incredible person as well - as anyone who ever met him will know.
RIP, Super Kev. 💙
Made up for @Everton
Yet again the #EFC fans carrying them over the line.
An immense job done by Sean Dyche with no budget, a limited squad and more issues than any other EPL manager.
All with respect, dignity & nod to the fans.
Now let’s find a worthy owner!
Our Chair @cj_dinenage has written to Richard Masters, Chief Executive of the @premierleague, to give the organisation an opportunity to set out its concerns about the Government's Football Regulation Bill.
I've written to Richard Masters, CEO of the Premier League, to express my concern at the process that led to two points being deducted from @Everton.
I want to secure a meeting at the earliest opportunity - we need to ensure all clubs are being treated fairly and transparently.
