Is that like how Liverpool unearthed MacAllister? Pundits these days don't know a fucking thing.

I honestly think Everton are heading towards becoming the Premier League's new Sunderland. For a while, their average PL season went something like this:

Step 1: Start the season dreadfully
Step 2: It gets so bad that the fans are screaming for heads, no matter whether that be players, manager etc.
Step 3: Sack the manager, somewhere between mid-October and late-November.
Step 4: Get a slight uptick in form, that's enough to keep them in reach of survival.
Step 5: Pull out some miraculous form in the last 5-6 games, including beating at least one top 4 side, to stay up on the last day.

Maybe they get out of that rut at some point, but I think it'd be very funny if they ended up going down right as they're ready to move to their new stadium.

Really hope so! lol
 
Thing is, Everton have been dangerously close to relegation in the last few seasons and sooner or later their luck will run out, especially with their takeover problems.

Last season they (and Forest) got lucky because none of the 3 promoted teams could do enough to stay up.

Season before that they only stayed up by beating Bournemouth on the last game, with Leicester also winning their last game.

How many more lucky escapes can you get before you finally drop down.
 
Sure I read somewhere another FFP deduction was looking likely for them.

About time they met the championship. Think if they came down with the current issues in their finances they will be away from the Prem for quite a while.
 
Hope they drop, think they’re bigger than they are coz a bit of success in the 80s, we’ll take Ndiaye on the way up
 

My expert analysis is that they are a bit shit. Or rather they are like one of those really long bendy shits you sometimes really have to work at then takes several attempts to flush down the pan.

Controversial opinion but I’m not sure we need Ndiaye to come back. He was mercurial for us and one of the most gifted players I’ve seen in our team, but like so many others have said the manager relied on him too much to pull a rabbit out of the hat and do something amazing, rather than look at the squad as a whole.

I’d rather we had a balanced team with quality across the park. Obviously in an ideal world we’d have a team and a manager who could accommodate a player like Ndiaye without neglecting the rest of the squad and tactical approach, but if we were just going to back to “flick it on to Iliman and hope that he can do something unbelievable with it” I’d sooner we went without.

That’s not to say that we can’t build a squad around a player too, but that squad has to be capable of working when the player in question is misfiring or unable to play for whatever reason.

I think it’s fairly unrealistic anyway and whether Everton stay up or go down, he’ll be off to a bigger club next summer.

Ndiaye is exponentially better than O'Hare, Moore and Hamer so walks straight back into this team, playing any of their roles in this current formation and thus makes us much much better....

Think he'd be even better playing with players who are of a similar mindset. We saw how good he was once Doyle and McAtee cemented their places.

Fair enough. For me it’s less about the player himself and more about the manager and tactics. I don’t want to see us revert to being a one-man team again.

More emphasis on the word used.
What's next a Fulham thread in here as Sandra has moved there or a Hammers post for League one Wes or perhaps a Stockport reunion for Turkey teeth Norwood 🤔
