They may have played more than once, but these spring to mind from the late 80s/90s: Steve Holden Pat O'Toole Pat Gavin David Puttnam Grant Brown Jon Stevenson Paul Bedder - did he make the bench once, but didn't get on.

He's been great so far, but today I felt he got it wrong. I was sure he would have taken Casedei off at half-time and bought Choudhery or even Praet on, just someone either a little more defensive or more experienced. They could have tucked in and broke from the right, and we'd still have had an outlet with Mavididi. As it was, we didn't offer any threat after h/t. Disappointing, but it's only one game.

I'd imagine you are trolling, either that or you have no idea about the FA/league rules at each of these periods you refer to.

Yeah, I know but it's still a business and if we were to implode this season, an extra £5-10 million could be a lifesaver. We've got to insure ourselves against not going up and the parachute payments drifting away.

It would perfect sense for them not to appeal. The Prem this year has 3-4 terrible teams in it and Everton will probably only need about 33 (43) points to stay up. It makes you think though, if we hadn't have reined in our spending so much and stayed up, we'd be financially a lot better off. Everton will probably only lose 2-3 places of TV money (£5m-ish). We might as well try and sue them for a few million pound. It won't change anything but might pay for a player or two's wages.

The count has started.... 15 wins from 36 games = 45+27= 72pts That's 45 pts from 36 games, bottom half form. That would probably get us a play-off place. 20 wins from 36 games = 60+27=87pts 60 pts from 36 games, that would probably be enough for a top-2 spot. Every game we win makes it look a little bit easier!
