• Our lack of success is down to the overall quality of the squad now and in the past, to keep blaming managers alone is futile, no manager can succeed without the right players. There no doubt its hard to find and then to persuade top quality players to sign for us. We do find the odd gem like Ndieye and Branthwaite- although what the future holds with Jarrad must be in doubt. On the whole we have failed badly signing players, its definitely the one area where we need and can do a lot better....

• I think a lot of people are overlooking that to get top 6 you not only need skill and application from the players but you also need synergy, confidence motivation. Moyes is doing a good job at the moment with his hands tied behind his back but like one or two I would like him to stabilize the club and pass the reins over to a more progressive manager. Our biggest weakness right now is the weakness of the squad with only a handful of what I would call "Premiership quality" players.

Years of running down the club by "The greatest Evertonian" have decimated the club but we shall prevail....

• The whole "it's going fine" mentality is why we have done f*** all for 30 years apart from sit nicely in mid to bottom as part of the furniture. We are what Coventry were between 1971 and 2001, a perennial mid table team with frequent relegation scrapes and the odd top 7 finish, that's us in the last 30 years. The club is never trying to elevate expectations just constantly downplaying what it should be achieving. As for panic buys in January? There is no such thing as panic buys in January. These so-called scouts that are on a kings ransom are working all year around to identify players available, it's not a case of someone opening a PVC window and everyone looking in and seeing what's available, Jesus Christ, pardon my blasphemy but it makes you...
