Good read

They're going to go full throttle so I'm assuming we just sit back and hit on the counter.

Oh I know. I just don't see us having many funds for signing on fees for the free transfers

That's the May games fucked then.

Moshiri always wanted that “rock star” name manager. Who would have thought it would be Dyche…

I'm too lazy to read through the last two pages to get caught up, can someone summarize in 3 words for me?

As you were.

He definately feels a lot of pride in being the manager of Everton FC. Not sure we can say the same of may of those have come before him, who have simply seen us as a big pay cheque or a stepping stone.

If you haven't watched the tv series Fargo, you're doing it wrong.
Finally got around to watching season 5 that came out late last year, and it is absolutely stunning. Every season (maybe with the exception of 4) has been a masterclass in storytelling, and I cannot recommend enough.

My ankles are a complete mess from repeated ligament strains playing on awful pitches and not recovering properly and strapping them up with masking tape. Any slight deviation in the pavement can have me rolling my ankle at a 90 degree angle. I had a bone spur removed 10 years ago and the surgeon said my ankle was a mess - covered in scar tissue and signs of arthritis. 
the long and short of it is every time I did my ankle I felt like spewing up..... he did a severe tear I think. To even contemplate playing on is exactly why I love him.  He was in pain, knew he done it badly yet wanted to get back out there 

He doesn't need an op, so that's fantastic news!

Be absolutely gutted for him if he misses the Euros

As far as I know the season runs from August to May, but if you want to talk about an arbitrary run of games, how about the twelve immediately before those three months? 
In those three months we had an 8-1-3 record, twenty-five points, nearly 2.1 ppg which over the season (to date) would put a team staying at that level on seventy-three points, above Liverpool.
Five games since the bad spell? Twelve points at 2.4 ppg, that over thirty-five games would put a team on eighty-four, strong title favourites.
The whole season thus far, again leaving out the thirteen game run (but including the crap start)...12-2-8, just over 1.7 ppg giving a very respectable total of sixty points with three to play (we qualified for the CL with 61), and an almost certain European place.
None of all that is particularly relevant of course, because the season takes thirty-eight games, but it's all just as relevant as the winless streak some can't make a post without referencing. 
If you want to be down in the dumps about a third of a season then fair enough, go for it, but following the same logic we should be dancing in the streets about the other two thirds
And we're not, because we're being realistic.

Haf, I see your points. I do. The general style of play for large chunks of the season has been hard to watch, he did lose the dressing room at one point, and he is stubborn to a fault a lot of the time.
However, I would count this season as a wild success. Romey just posted in the longest thread, but when you consider everything happening off the pitch and even STILL we're in 15th with 3 games to spare?
He deserves all the praise for what he's accomplished

The ginger Guardiola has done it again!! 😍

If a team loses three or four positions in the table due to PSR, lets say lost out on £10M. Can you offset that in this year's accounts? 
Or will the PL make the argurement that Everton should have forseen that PL are a bunch of corrupt fuckers! 

Why believe the vice captain when you can believe a news article with absolutely no evidence whatsoever?
Dick head.

Doesn't seem significant, but with each place higher up the league now being worth an extra £3m+ in prize money, climbing an extra place or two would be handy for the coffers.

I guess this is the part that baffles me about this point of view.
We get hit with the largest points deduction in EPL history, and yet we still secure safety with 3 games to spare and will likely finish higher than we did the previous 2 seasons.
How is that not a success?
