    well he's certainly lost the dressing room hasn't he. That interview confirms it. "You hate me, you want me gone but I know I'm not going cos no one can sack me so forget a new manager bounce".

    His words would be absolutely spot on  if he hadn't left himself in such a position where the players are thinking "shut up you arrogant fkn prick, I can't stand you or your tactics or your bullying and finger pointing".

    I repeat for the umpteenth time - the Portugal slap was the end for him. A captain taking his manager aside to actually get an apology is one thing, him smirking and making it about Patterson being a snowflake in a press conference essentially ripped up his apology and recreated a bigger gap between him and the squad. 
     

    His complete lack of self reproach is evident, zero humility at all. 

     

    I've not read it like that, tbh.

    I've read that as him laying it on a plate for the players. Most years over the last 7 or so we end up with the same thing.

    To me, he's saying he's fighting and they can too. But he's not going to get sacked because of them, like other managers have.

    Now, for me, these words would carry more meaning if we hadn't been on a shit run...

    However, I do agree there is an air of arrogance. Like...on one hand hes saying he's responsible etc etc, on the other he's on the players regards the past.

    I'm a bit bored of hearing about the off field stuff (points, owners etc). I get it has an impact, but it's his job to get the results still...not then come back and say 'look how hard this is for me...'

    It's still a results business and that long run wasn't acceptable.

    Like I've said before, judgement day at the end of the season. For now, full support and limp over the line.

    I really hope he finds his way.

    Us Evertonians forever remember players who 'did it' for us. That game he came on against Palace and absolutely smashed it means he has a place in our books.

    If we can get him, I'm all for it.

    I suspect he hasn't played more because of footy politics tbh. Which I think is a terrible position for a player.

    Ross Barkley only has a year with Luton doesn't he? Imagine.

    (Even though Barkley is still a twat...)

    That's human nature.

    the reason our club has ended up where it is is mainly due to 7th place being touted as a great season.

    how did we get there from being multiple league winners? It's dilution of expectations. 
     

    as soon as you accept less you are plotting the descent 

     

    But there has to be a sense of reality and context too, doesn't there?

    We've flirted with relegation 3 years in a row. To finish 7th next season would be a great season!

    If, as we've seen, the man who gets us 7th, then has a wobble for a period the next season, and gets sacked...we'll not see any progress.

    We were multiple league winners 40 years ago.

    We've won one cup in 30 years.

    So the 'accepting' 7th comes from being pretty shit for the vast majority of the last 30 odd years.

    I could walk into a room full of rich fuckers and pretend I drive a Ferrari. But at some point I have to accept the reality of where I am...(I only don't drive a Ferrari because the roads in Cumbria are shit 😂).

    I think, realistically, with 777, we can look forward to, at best, midtable mediocrity for time to come...which is better than relegation scraps!

    I mean, that's what we've been for most of the last 30 odd years anyway.

    I just hope there is a plan that involves reigniting the youth set up...I find it very hard to believe we don't develop players good enough for a bottom of the table scrap...and a young manager with a vision...that we, as fans, allow to develop for more than 12-18months.
