The Everton board couldn’t go to the match today due to a credible threat to their safety. One way to keep your job.
Stay classy, Scousers. A few players had young kids in the back of their cars apparently.V.O. said:The poor lad has played all of a few
Absolute meltdown at Goodison. Some proper nutters there.
Not the main problem. But he’s pretty crap.The manager isn't the main problem with Everton.
It’a a myth that Everton are a very big club. I see this peddled by the media all of the time.I think Everton signing Dele Alli for 40m kind of epitomises where the club is right now. A complete and utter waste of money for a guy who clearly has completely lost the appetite for football. That was evident long before he left Spurs.
It will be an epic failure given the amount of money they've spent if they go down. Random question though; If they did go down, would you see a full on capitulation like Portsmouth/Sunderland over the next few years, or sort themselves out and bounce straight back?
United spent loads of money under Woodward yet I don’t think you would argue he didn’t deserve criticism.Everton fans are a disgrace. Chasing players down the street, spitting at directors and putting them in a headlock.
This is a club that has spent massive amounts of money.

A series of football managers have raised fresh questions over the ownership of Everton FC after claiming they were interviewed for the top job in the presence of the now-sanctioned oligarch Alisher Usmanov.
The multibillionaire is understood to have attended a sequence of meetings dating from current owner Farhad Moshiri’s initial acquisition of an Everton stake in 2016, until before Usmanov was sanctioned last year, when assets of “Putin associates” were frozen after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The interesting thing is that the Everton story is pretty much the same as United. Rotten ownership, bad recruitment, poor manager selection, no real on-field plan or identity... sounds familiar, right?I’ve posted before and it’s popping up in other threads but over the past 3 or so years we have decided to get rid of all the players in our squad that score goals or create chances and that’s on the club. Digne, Rodriguez and Richarlison were all let go by the club for different reasons. The former two were sanctioned by a manager that should never have been at the club and the latter is a result of poor financial performance and transfer dealings. This has led us to rely on one man who is a crock (DCL) to be our saviour. Our other main creator was let go because of things we can’t talk about.
The failure to replace these players by the club is an absolute huge factor in terms of the performance of the squad in attack. It still disturbs me a lot that we allowed Digne to leave because of Benitez and then sacked him a couple of weeks later. Just an absolutely shite club and we deserve to be in the Championship.
It’s depressing as I’m not even angry. I’m just disappointed and upset that my club is dying in front of me.
Yeah. The crazy thing about it all is people saw how badly we f'd up, then decided to do the same thing at Everton and now at Chelsea.The interesting thing is that the Everton story is pretty much the same as United. Rotten ownership, bad recruitment, poor manager selection, no real on-field plan or identity... sounds familiar, right?
Only difference is our 20 point drop off from our successful days has brought us Europa League football, but it's dragged Everton into relegation scraps.
I like Toffee TV, they always have level headed opinions.
A good video. Baz is a good guy.
Why is investing money automatically good? The money he has invested has been absolutely terribly done, some of which by his hand personally and obviously by those he has employed too. It's not helped us. It's put us in a position where if we are relegated we are financially in a terrible state. It's quite disturbing seeing fans of other clubs defending Moshiri.No owner has personally invested more in a club than Moshiri.
Owning a middling club is a thankless task. You keep throwing good money after bad on the club and get abused by room temperature IQ knuckleheads.

Wasn’t a ceo put in a headlock?Everton's board smearing their fans is next level scumbaggery
Police said there were no complaints and they waited 11 days to the matchday of fan protests to 'release' this informationWasn’t a ceo put in a headlock?
We've reached wwf attitude times.Wasn’t a ceo put in a headlock?
One of the great Caf lines.Wasn’t a ceo put in a headlock?
I think it is a weird twitter thing. They are obsessed with Sunderland and hate Pickford due to that and I think both clubs being a 'sleeping giant' so to speak and having the fan base to become a big club again if the right owner came in has led to there being a random twitter rivalry about stuff.We've reached wwf attitude times.
Anyway, RIP everton football club. You had a good run.
The owner to me is incompetent rather than vindictive. He's spent a fortune. Although, not sacking Lampard is heading towards the vindictive.
All the owner had to do over these past few years was appointment the right manager. If he does that, everton are 6th or 7th in the league and all that fan anger mostly goes away. But he couldn't do it. He kept appointing the wrong man time after time.
And this all accumulated in Lampard getting the job. And he is, without doubt, the worst manager in the history of the football club. And for some reason, the owner won't sack him. It's likely to be too late by the time he does.
The club might well go bust without PL money. It really could be all over.
Also, I don't use social media for sport much, so yesterday was the first I found out about the apparent online rivalry between newcastle and everton fans. @SilentWitness do you know what that is all about? I don't remember issues between the clubs in the past.
Allegedly but it is a weird situation. They didn't report it to police and didn't tell anyone about it until a statement just before the game on Southampton. I don't really understand why you'd do that because if something as serious as that happened then 99% of the fanbase would be horrified and want to help in catching the person who did it. Not only that but a lot of fans wouldn't risk going if there are nutters who are happy to put females in headlocks.Wasn’t a ceo put in a headlock?
It started at the end of the 2011/12 before the final match of the season between the two at Goodison, when Pardew was our manager. Because we were still gunning for 4th, he made a remark that we’d moved ahead in the pecking order to get a higher quality of player or something to that effect. This was obviously picked up on Twitter, and I believe that despite the manager making the comment, it was seen as a sign of Newcastle fan arrogance. So it’s been 11 years of ridiculous baiting from both sides because of Alan fecking Pardew.We've reached wwf attitude times.
