Cisk

Dream signing for me. This would be an absolute first choice.

Think we all need to recalibrate here... how often have we been here and got giddy with the thoughts of the new man coming in and how hes perfect for us, and that on reflection a real asset.
 
I don’t see it with Lampard based on his past achievements in management, his links to Chelsea or that he has no links to EFC. He is a gamble, a roll of the dice.
 
I'm happy he’s been chosen from that shortlist (if the list was true) but just shows much of a let down and reality check the status our club is in with that being our shortlist of managers to appoint. We’re back to the Smith to Moyes era. Moyes worked out well and so certainly hope Frank will too (when confirmed), but it’s a roll of a dice time and Moyes could have balls it up too. Let’s hope Frank works out like Moyes.
 
Another cross roads moment and these are happening all too frequently 

I'll take that sadly - never get close on these

New signings not even on the bench typical Everton 

Given that he's shit too.

Apologies if this has been started / touched on already somewhere but I could not see any discussions when scanning through.
Been switched off a bit to all that has been going on and the results etc... in the last couple of months. It was only going one way!
Now with the mess, some say crisis, in place I'm switched back on again.
We have to get this next phase in our chapter seriously right and the board need to seriously wake up and smell the coffee!
Not sure any of us really know the state the club is in but from what seems to have happened in the last month or two is a complete desperation trust in a Benitez set-up which has ended up with egg on faces. We have no DoF (although what Brands did or was allowed to do, is highly debateable) to advise on footballing matters, we have no scouting structure, we have no medical team, we have sever restrictions due to FFP - we have little to no funds for recruitment, we've now got to pay out again against FFP to pay off Benitez and his chosen men, we have moved along a quality player (Digne) for an average fee and replace him with a gamble that has to work as there are no other LB choices at the club, we also have a board performing strategic reviews of the club / business - but making no progressive steps, we also have zero comms coming out from the club to fans, we potential could lose our young stars again on frees due to their lack of use.
Much as I am excited about our new stadium being built - I dont want to see another drone footage update of it for some good PR for the club.
How worried should we be and how desperate are the board now?

If only we kept Digne to teach him the ropes until the summer.....

May as well close down this thread.....our business is done for this window I would think.

He's improving - I think he'll come good and score an important goal or two this season when needed. Think his role is going to be a super sub for us.

Keep checking the official site but I can’t see it being any different than for the Burnley game.
There'll be spot checks (I’m yet to see one actually happen tbh) where you’ll either have to show proof of vaccination or proof of a negative result withinthe previous 48 hours if not vaccinated. 

Burnley look to have done some good business. I'd have been all over Conor Roberts as RB for 2.5m

We've got 3 keepers though so we'll be fine 🤪

Yes, fully agree. I was not in the sign Rafa camp bit to be fair I'm starting to think he is absolutely the person we need at the moment.
 
I know it's only 3 games in....but seriously, I have some positivity coming back.

We have given him absolutely nothing to work with as well. Credit to him.

Phew....Got over the line there and gave some good minutes to replacements - not a bad outcome!

Moise Kean is a joke

And just like that, Moise Kean has played his last Everton match
