He's a fat cnt. And revoltingly greasy.

On a serious note, putting aside coiffures, Moyes would be a regressive appointment and I can't see it happening. Worse still he is ex Everton.

Oh the cruelty!

I trust Les is combing through the shortlist, trimming the crop of candidates shorter...

We've got to appoint someone with a fancy foreign name and coiffure. No way would I accept a 'Howe' or a 'Moyes', it would condemn us to lower mid table obscurity or worse.

I have just unfollowed Ron on Twitter. That'll show him.

I laughed out loud...great post.

I'd laugh my face off if we got Emery...

Agree. Let's pray.

I'd consider suicide if Hughes or Moyes come here. Howe doesn't excite either.

And that 1.7 billion won't be cash - most will be tied up in assets and holdings

I wouldn't want another owner. I love the way we pull a rabbit out of the hat every season and defy the pundits after a summer of evisceration. We have always been a plucky underdog, kicking big clubs arses since '76. Long may it continue.

Dontcha just love this time of year? The hilarious entertainment surpasses the actual playing season.

Jesus wept, I can't believe the writer forgot VVD and Ryan...

Thank you - good point!

This is not a good day for me to have a lot of deadlines work wise.

Ok next please, #wemarchon Next be Emery please

Absolutely

Everton need 6-8 new players. So on their budget they are buying in the £20M bracket. That is a dangerous bracket full of puffed up rubbish if you haven't got a black box. To match their apparent ambitions they need to be buying £40M+ players. They will come unstuck imo. Poisoned chalice for a manager.

[quote=Le Goddard;2345638The reason for our slump before xmas. one. This is something about which I would be interested in knowing the inside story. It meant a good season wasn't' stellar.

Fly by night dodgy owner syndrome

"Getting Everton back into the top four" ...As if they were once regular inhabitants.

If they have got Ron then he will be the object of much merriment and schadenfreude on the Defectors Watch thread for a year or so. Everton are a failing club and will be more of a mess than Iraq and for longer. Dinosaur club with serious structural problems. A decade to turn them around.
