Everton have had significant deductions this season and will finish well clear of the bottom three. If we get the business right then we could be absolutely fine. There’s a lot of shit in the premier league…. I’d say we’re better now than the bottom 4 teams, so that’s a starter for ten. We just need to get the summer right, plus Forest staying up could help us the talk is they’re getting points back, which would aid both us and Everton V the Pl. Right now I am bullish we can stay up. A bit of clever recruitment and a solid preseason and i think we can go in with some confidence. Also, if we can keep the deductions down to 3 points i think we stand a chance. We will be losing a lot of matches, and people are going to need to reset their expectations around that. IMHO all the talk of Pep and Champagne players needs to stop. We need enough to survive, and as Sheff Utd / Luton / Forest / Brentford have shown that a variety of styles don't magically fix problems. 1
Koke Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 Congrats to Ipswich and big up McKenna. But a cautionary tale, because Southampton and Norwich were the last two clubs to do it, managed by Nigel Adkins and Paul Lambert. Adkins was immediately ditched for Poch, rightfully so, and is currently managing Tranmere in League Two. Paul Lambert bounced around 6 clubs since Norwich and they all hate him, most recently Ipswich. I'm not saying McKenna is a bad coach but sometimes the momentum just carries you through the leagues.

I think Enzo’s idea will be better suited to the premier league, but we need the players to execute it. We are going to have to be savvy in the market, we’ve managed it before which gives me hope. I know I lost my head when we were wobbling, but now the season is done, and my sanity has returned, it’s clear that there’s a strong bond between the players and Enzo, they clearly big into him, and this will stand us in good stead next season.

5waller5 Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 Everton really are in the mire. These guys also own some of Saville so hopefully that puts Enzo off any interest they show https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cprgxj4zlneo
Super_horns Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 Maybe time for Everton to look at alternative buyers ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cprgxj4zlneo
MattFox Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 Villa getting Champions League with a side worse than the one we had that finished 5th twice annoys me irrationally 1

Bazly Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 (edited) The top 3 Championship teams that were promoted last year won 78 games in the league between them, a win ratio of 57%. They are the bottom 3 teams in the EPL as things stand today with 14 wins between them, a win ratio of 12%. It feels like the winning ticket is a return ticket. I'd expect all three promoted teams this year to repeat the feat achieved by the three teams promoted last season seeing none of these teams has dominated throughout the season and will without much doubt get picked apart with great ease in the Premiership. The coming season may be best watched while wearing a blindfold. Vardy, our number one goal scorer by a long way with 20 goals only managed 3 in the sides last EPL season. I'm expecting a weekly horror show so it can only be bettered or battered each week. Edited 5 May 2024 by Bazly

No-one was quoting this sort of stuff the years before when the likes of Forest, Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham etc were staying up. One season of 3 low-budget, small wage bill teams dropping out and suddenly the gap is huge and no-one getting promoted can stay up. 6
Popular Post Muzzy_no7 Posted 5 May 2024 Popular Post Posted 5 May 2024 Don’t get the fuss or what people are moaning about. Us, Ipswich and any club in the play offs offer a hell of a lot more to the PL than Burnley, Luton and Sheff utd. 6

Our team is no worse than any of those current sides, i’d argue were better than them already. Ourselves, leeds and southampton are all foundationaally stronger than those sides and our issue isn’t the gap but the financial situation we’ve put ourselves in. If we had a clean slate and the usual money to spend of a promoted club I would back us to comfortably avoid relegation. But that is our own doing and nothing to with the gap you’re talking about.
