The board have ripped the soul out of Everton and everything it stood for has gone

The lowest scorers in the entire four divisions, he references the continuing failure to replace Lukaku with the necessary Premier League quality, it still haunts us every single game to this day.

Some good may come of it as it puts the spotlight firmly on the cretins, crooks, charlatans, incompetents and ego-maniacs responsible. Even their media friends, including ex-players now calling themselves pundits, will realise the truth.

However, like the other journos he knew where his bread was buttered and said sod all against Kenwright when he knew what was going on, à la Prentice.

The lowest point was appointing Benitez and before that Allardyce. Dyche is what was available and what was needed in the circumstances.

Dale, Frank Lampard is a shite football coach. End of. He could go to City and fuck it up.
TV pundit.

Managers due to previous managers try to be too cautious and don't attack teams. Basic footballing errors are not coached out of the players who continually make the basic footballing errors of ball watching without being aware of where your opponents are.

Youth development is a joke and most promising players want to leave the club due to the club playing ageing has-beens instead of youth players.

Yes, King always gave a fair account of our games with one report standing out after we got trounced by WBA 4-0. He slaughtered the team after that game and during the week after the game he was accosted by Duncan Ferguson with a rolled up Echo containing that report, Duncan proceeded to hit him round the head with the Echo.

I used to phone Dominic up sometimes and I asked him after that game about his report. He told me his Everton mates told him to tell it like it was and he did. They didn't like it at the training ground and couldn't face the truth.

It was like the time the usually genial Joe Royle threatened Phil McNulty he'd do some damage to a certain part of Phil's body with a passing hedgehog after he wrote a not very flattering report about one of Everton's games.

McNulty laughed at Joe, I think he was barred from the training ground for a while. As was Chris Bascombe of the Echo after he wrote what he saw as the truth over a Liverpool game, Houlier (sic) the Liverpool manager banned him from Melwood.

Kenwright has been virtually untouchable by the Echo and, to be honest, most of the media up to now. I hope a lot more will come out now; it won't be news to quite a lot of us we've known for a long time what a complete phoney he was.
