Martin (68): Saint Daniel the Absent was not at Verona yesterday, although he was there in September 2020. Interestingly – laughably? – one report online says that he was ‘not in attendance because he was focusing on matters relating to his other club, Everton’.

Wonder what they might have been? He must surely be impressed that the only good thing to report on last summer’s 160 million is one more point.

Anyway, another source reports that:

‘As of May 2026, Ryan Friedkin has taken a prominent, hands-on role in shaping AS Roma’s transfer policy, holding critical meetings at the Trigoria training center with coach Gian Piero Gasperini to plan for the 2026/27 season’.

Perhaps Saint Daniel-the-Absent flew into Liverpool on Sunday and got the next flight home as there was nobody there from Everton.

How many ‘critical meetings’ have been held ‘to plan for the 2026/27 season’ for us?

Tyrique George looks like our best attacker and has rode the bench ALL SEASON!! Same for Alcaraz!.., why has Barry been coming on all season instead of Alcaraz? Moyes is being told to play Beto and Barry by the ownership (to keep their values up) and I believe this is why they won’t sack Moyes. Because they can pick the team and Davie will just accept the paycheck and do as the owners want…. A serious manager like Glasner or Ireola or Howe would tell them to kindly fuck off as they would want to pick the team themselves. No way Moyes plays Barry and Beto all season under his own accord, I just can’t believe it…. Strap in fellas. TFG is just here to make a few quid (which finishing around mid table guarantees them)…. If we bench Barry for good then we wipe around 10 million off his value and we can’t have that now can we?!… the game’s gone…. The clubs owners don’t give a rats ass about us. The owners care about Barry’s resale value more than our entertainment or happiness.
FACT…. And if I’m wrong then Dan Friedkin can you kindly please get rid of David Moyes, sell Barry asap (yes, even for a loss), and improve our defence. Thank you in advance kind sir…. Not a single person who supports Everton wants to see Barry pull on the blue jersey ever ever ever again! The boy is an embarrassment to our club and our image. He looks disinterested and is absolute DOGSHIT!! Thierno Barry, my bro, if by some chance you happen to read this comment then please leave our club right now. You are the worst player I have ever seen play for Everton. Thank you.

The “happily dissatisfied” comment has definitely undermined Kinnear’s credibility with fans. It’s timing was also poor given the collapse in form over the last 6 games.

As Mike G shares, he is building a commercial mindset across the entire club which will improve professionalism and revenue, but he needs to demonstrate he can do similar in terms of football operations. A football club stands or falls on the team on the pitch, as West Ham have just demonstrated.

You constantly bang on about your view from the stands as key to your wisdom. Is your view what one might call hindsight? Or put another way talking out of your arse?

Morning John
Posted previous post before I went to bed.
To answer your question.
I am very disappointed and as you are welll aware I was not part of the never Moyes mob. My view as stated so often was let him be judged on his record. Well his record overs the last 7 games is relegation form so I have no confidence in him leading us into next season. That being said, I am not convinced that current shouts for the long list of ”dynamic modern manager” are our best option. We saw what Frank and 250m kitty did for Spurs. We have already tried that in the past with Martinez, Silva, Koemann, Lampard and we all saw where that lead to eventually turning to seasoned relegation battlers to get us out of jail. Moyes has served his purpose and provided a season of stability and also utter frustration as to what he could have accomplished.
I have one crazy thought and that is based on having reviewed our past successful managers, all were as MK would say, from our parish. Therefore, based on that premise I think there is a case to consider something completely different and look internally for a manager to lead us to a new blue dawn. There may be other options but why not consider a combination of Baines, Coleman and/or Carsley Already preparing for the incoming flak.
