    Behind the scenes this club must be a cauldren of stress and anxiety at the moment. It is effectievly rudderless at the very top with lot of very seriouse stuff going on - 3/4 the way thought a new stadium build with massive cheques needing to be signed weekly, point deducutions and appeals going on over the whole season (the results of which could make the difference between us going down and staying up), possible new owners who everybody knows are not without there own risks (we are NOT getting a Middle East consortium with effectively endless resourses), we are effectively searching down the back of the sofa for any spare £1M at this moment in time to try and fund our new stadium and intrest payment that come with it.
    This is not a great place to be a manager at the moment - anybody with a ounce sence would steer clear for the next 18months until the dust has well and truly settled. I am pretty sure if Dyche had crystal ball and had known what was likley to be the working conditions at the club when he was offered the job, he may very well have passed and waited for a more normal job to come along, one that was simply about the football on the pitch!! .
    If the club paniked and got rid, who of the calibre needed would be queing up to take on the Everton manager roles and be better placed than Dyche to get us over the line in the next 11 games.
    I think Dyche has been very supportive of the players who are going on the pitch week in week out. It's obviouse for all to see that players ARE missing chance after chance, he can only say some many time - they have the 'freedom to miss chances'. We all know; players included, they are going to have to start put a few more of them away at sometime. He is far from throwing players under the bus.
    I and others are a long way from thinking Dyche is perfect, but he is a fairly good fit for this club at the moment. He is a manager who does not go around crying about the situation the clubs in, he rolls his sleeves up and deals with it, and he is getting players to do the same. There are plenty of things going on at this club where a managers or players could be quite easily thinking "what's the f8cking point' its a circus around this place, I'll probably be better off somewhere else come the summer!!". I don't feel this at all from Dyche and the squad.  
    None of us were expecting miracles this season, we all though mid table mediocrity would be plenty acceptable this season given upheaval and resources at the club, just keeping away from a third relegation battle. If we take away the point deductions, then that is pretty much where we are as a footballing side (and maybe this is what Dyche is as a manager). But at this very moment in time I am more than satisfied with mediocrity, I am very weary of trying to change things up on the management side, as another minor slip in this department would see us relegated. Premiership is a very unforgiving league and given o
    A time to stick not twist.

    Looking at our remaining games this season I think our season could rest on whether we beat Forest at home, with the real chance that we could both be deducted 6 points a piece before the season ends, that in my view would put Luton in the clear and leave us and Forest to battle it out for 17th spot, and one of us will then survive on possibly the lowest points scored to remain in the league. 
    And if we can achieve that with a total 12 points deduction for the season, and a paper thin squad, that would be a huge accolade to all involved in the team, and imo it should go down as our miracle season with all that’s been happening in the background just to make things that little bit harder.

    I must admit I am on Josh Wander side in this case, really not sure what Josimar Football credentials are and now much they ARE in the know or just think they are in the know with a handfull of fact. These articles, if not properly balanced, can end up divisive and harmful. It is interesting that Wander has used the term libelous about what is being wrote.
    777 Partner (and their backers) are already putting lots of money in to the club, so 777 Partner at the moment deserve the benefit of the doubt. These significant sums of money will not be getting invested by fools, some people seem to have faith in 777 Partners and there ability to make Everton a better club.
    We all know our main problem has been that we have be very poorly run in a modern footballing world environment, it's that simple. It's fuck all to do with not having a wealth investor. If 777 simply have talented people lined up to run us like a proper sports franchise business, then we are going to be in an infinately better position than we are in now. 
    Just getting our boardroom lto a proffessional level and making Everton a better run club will see the value of us as an asset go up.

    I think in normal circumstances Dyche might be going through a run of games where questions might start to be rasied about the team and how it's progressing results wise and playing wise under his management. 
    However, we are so far removed from normal circumstances as a club could be.  Dyche is working under the most unusual circumstances we could really imagine at a football club. The points you have won being taken off you based on things that went on before your arrival and then with the spectre of even more points being taken away from you hanging over you. You add to this the madness of how the ownership and board situation is at this club, the long standing Chairman passing away. All these signficant things happening off the pitch over 2/3's of a season is quite astounding really.
    All this has to negatively affect the players and football management side of the club.
    The biggest thing that is really going against Dyche and the wider team at the moment seems to be a bit of luck - Performance wise easily half of our defeats/draws could have quite easily have turned out as wins on a different day. I don't beleive he as lost the players or dressing room at all, in fact they all seem to be working together to try and change the results. 
    I imagine he would have loved to have been in the position 10 games ago to try and take on games a little more going in to them as a mid table team. However, he has had the tractor beam of the points deduction that is keeping us (and will do now for the rest of the season) pulled toward the bottom three - that in itself brings a nervouseness to the players and fans alike. 
    Everton are at what I feel is a very delecate tipping point at the moment -  Until the points deductions and ownership issues are sorted out, the last thing we should do is be trying to change manager again. Especailly as Dyches main downfall to me has been that he's been very unlucky this season - both on and off the pitch.
    If this had been a 'normal' season, just about football - I could quite easily see this team having a two or three more wins under their belt and now being safe on between 35-40 points. 
    I would actually like to see Dyche manage in to next season, with hopefully points deduction behind us and a new owner and board in place - to me he has and is showing enough to suggest he deserves a normal season.

    Like any manager on a shite run, deserves his scrutiny.
    But fair play to him in his post match interview, he wasn't hiding and acknowledged he was tired of saying the same old same around converting chances etc.
    He knows, and owned, that it's up to him and his coaches.

    We are a considerably better team under Dyche, than we have been the past couple of years. Our performances are much more competative and consistently so.
    1t has simply been down to poor finishing at the final moment. 
    the irony is we have all be so hoping for DCL to get fit for best part of 2 season, and when he does he just can't score. Dyche has given him massive support on starting him.
    Even thoigh DCL a better player I think Beto now needs a run of games.

    Oh shit yeah, the passing.
    It's fuckin woeful. I agree.
    We look a shit tonne better when we play with pace with more straight forward balls...on the floor!
    When We try to slow it down, play short balls, we do it too slowly and quickly get closed down.
    We don't have players with an abundance of skill to get out of tight closed down spaces.
    Go back to the first few months of the season...we were playing with pace. It worked and was good to watch.

    100% yeah. I've no doubt DCL will know its unacceptable for him to be 20 or so games without a goal.
    The defenders are doing their part. We've something like the 4th or so best defence in the league.
    Problem is, like any position, there'll be games when they're not as on it. If the attackers aren't doing their part, we're fucked.
    Scoring has been our achilles heel for a good few years now.

    We don’t trust the premier league to look after PSR and our points deduction, we think they are against us. 
    But we think the delay in approving our new owners is because they are doing a thorough job of looking into them?
    The FA and the FSA were both satisfied they had all of the correct information immediately. 777 claimed all parties had everything up front. But the one party who’s been fucking us over all year are doing this one properly?
    Ive no issue with 777, if they get the club I’ll judge them after that. Lots of speculation about them, but our current owner is a shadow investor for a man who has been sanctioned by the western world for ties to an illegal war. The one before him was an egomaniac who borrowed money from his dodgy mates to keep hold of the club for as long as he could, so he could call himself “Mr Chairman”.
    We aren’t getting a John Moores type of owner ever again.
    The same reason we got Dyche, because the club was fucked, is why we’re getting some opportunists like 777. They admit they are opportunists too, only buying clubs who are in crisis to try to fix them. If we weren’t in the shit they wouldn’t be looking at us in the first place. 
     
    If we don’t get 777 we won’t see the back of Moshiri for another 12 months, if we’re lucky. We are a rudderless ship, we need a captain. ASAP!

    I agree that not converting our chances this season has been our downfall, but equally they way we consistently surrender possession with the worst passing I’ve ever seen from an Everton team in my 57 years of watching them is as equally as bad as our finishing. 
    Something has to change we are on a spiral that I don’t know if Dyche can stop, we have already accepted we have no money to spend on players to change it, the January transfer window was proof of that, so let’s say we again manage to stay up by the skin of our teeth again, and come the summer we still haven’t got money for signings, how are we going to try and change the narrative, imo we have no choice but to change the manager because to do nothing is just burying your head in the sand.

    There is much work to do for him and the staff. 
    While we can’t spend any money, and we don’t really have an owner or a board, I’m not sure what should be our expectations. 
    It’s not fun watching Everton though.
