Greenridge

Before or after the challenge?

He doesn’t seem to have any positive attributes whatsoever. Get Lavia on for him.

Who was it that signed for Villa(?) for one day, got cold feet, and went back to his former club?

Relegation clause in contracts is commonplace now. Of course there are no guarantees. It's not fantasy football. Well done for repeating your point though...

Not in goal he wasn't, no.

In the scheme of staying in the league? Almost irrelevant. Let's hope SR aren't trying to be too 'clever' in our pursuit for goals.

I keep seeing Spence's name bought up. Doesn't he have an issue with his attitude?

He's better than we've got and certainly appears higher calibre than anyone else linked so far. We are up against the clock. We need someone to hit the ground running and he's likely to do just that. Proven scorer in this league. No risks, other than his injury record of course. An inexpensive punt.

I bet the Everton forum is in absolute meltdown

Players seem to be playing for him and certainly appeared to be happy for/with him at the end. No sign of hoofball.

He should be good at cross-field passes with those eyes.

A glass act?

I was commenting on his writing style.

11 Followers Luke sounds like an angry fan rather than a professional sports journalist.

You can’t play hoofball with this team. We need Michael Bentine as manager. Unfortunately, we are fvked. Poor Owners. Poor Management Team. Poor Manager. Poor Players. We’re gone and it’s going to be a long way back. If ever.

Anything But Ralph though, yes?

Jones seems to be a fan of Puel’s tombola team selection system.

It’s the forum MO. Those not playing are our best players.

Was it not Anyone but Ralph though, right?

There was hardly any challenge there. Hardly clumsy. It's a contact sport. You can't just let the oppo run free. Poor referring that was not helped by a lack of VAR involvement. There's probably some quirky VAR law that says it cannot be reviewed if the player is left-handed.

Ings would be the difference from bottom 3 to mid-table for us.

While it's fair to say there have been several threads on the topic of the Manager, to have only 3 pages of comments against the official announcement sums up the generally underwhelming appointment.

I reckon that’s 3 at the back. Might explain why Payne is not involved.

But at least Ralph has gone.

Looks like a Liz Truss kind of appointment. The real manager can take over in a few months time.
