Love how this extremely underwhelming appointment has been even more drab because we've known about it for over a week before confirmation.

Walsall, Shrewsbury, Port Vale not a million miles away.

Usually it's "brave"

A lot of it is self-deprecating but then you get the obnoxious people like Jim White and Shebahn Aherne who we would rather do without.

It rarely, if ever, happens outside of overseas, money-spinning friendlies. I cannot get away from the conclusion that people organising this aren't fully aware exactly who we are playing next season.

You can see why our brains trust were so keen to hire him.

Thought we could have a separate thread for the commentators and pundits. Good, bad and the rest. You saw how much better Ally McCoist is with a proper commentator and away from the godawful Fletch.

Will always be my favourite player.

Scenes when we win the friendly and lose the league match.

English people react to seeing American pundits for the first time

TURN THE MUSIC UP LADS

Dermot Gallagher will be busy for the next six weeks.

Hopefully Leroy Rosenior will join soon to cast his eye over Vardy's answers with Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes reading out your texts and e-mails!

Most managers I can take or leave, usually give them a real chance but this offers nothing for me. He just appears an extreme version of the crap football philosophy.

Couldn't beat two of our worst ever teams.

Is this the longest Roy Keane has stayed at a World Cup?

We didn't breach the rules in that season.

Decent enough. Can't seeing it having a very long run but watchable.

How did they get on with the checklist? Awful spelling Factually incorrect "Go and follow another club!" Heart emojis Back the lads Love the owner Missed "Supported us for 40+ years" out.

Look at you lot with your torrade of abuse. So out of order tiwards the people who brought us all the trophies!!!

Given his recent episode, would have been a bold move to drop Stokes for this and promote Brook.

How could a points deduction have been administered in 21/22 as Everton technically hadn't breached during the season when the accounting period is through to June?

The success of the club in the 90s, plus the growth of football, grew the fanbase levels. All the trips to Wembley helped and it meant that after leaving Filbert St we added an average of 10k to our crowds for a couple of years. Then a decade of 20-24k mainly before 2014 and a full house decade. The next few years will be interesting because we were a Premier League club 13 months ago and if we are promoted I would expect crowds to remain high. But a top flight absence will be a test. A lot of younger fans is good but no generation has grown up with regular third tier football.

They have done very well to portray themselves as a liberal, left leaning group.

Doesn't the club have a few England regulars? The booing of Ayew will be fantastic.
