Everton Fucked?

I work with a translator/steward who does all the Liverpool and Everton home games, she said at the weekend it really sunk home. Richarlson was pissing around with his socks for much of the game, only running when the ball came his way, no tracking back (compared to Salah/Mane), the whole team lacks any fight or leadership and genuine match winning quality, especially since DCL went off the boil.
They're in a bad way, not surprising given the constant managerial changes, money issue, stadium concerns, the whole Gilfi story. They're in trouble and when you're relying on "big time Charlie's" like Dele Alli, you're heading nowhere with a player who's as unprofessional as half of Evans' squad was.

However bad a choice Rafa was, Lampard was infinitely worse.

Remember how Salah once advised Harvey to quit eating toast with jam/snacks or something like that, if he wanted to play to the best of his abilities ?
Those are the extra miles and fine margins that separate mediocrity and excellence. It’s the same in life really.
And then there’s Everton, which belong to neither.

Sounds like Welsh village
Exactly. Big name players will probably have some weird relegation clause in too.
Two press stories this morning.
Firstly that Everton are trying to raise finance / equity funds (and not a great deal of appetite out there).
Second that they’ve reached agreement with the PL to consult on future signings and new contracts (which basically means they’ve breached profit and sustainability rules and are now in enhanced monitoring under PL rule E15). Bear in mind that the PL will have seen their 2021 accounts privately (clubs have to submit them by 1 March, even if they are not published publicly). Their 2021 numbers are going to look really ugly.

Rule E15 for anyone who’s interested:
E.15.
The powers referred to in Rule E.14 are:
E.15.1. to require the Club to submit, agree and adhere to a budget which shall include, but not be limited to, the matters set out in Rule H.1.1 to H.1.3;
E.15.2. to require the Club to provide such further information as the Board shall determine and for such period as it shall determine; and
E.15.3. to refuse any application by that Club to register any Player or any new contract of an existing Player of that Club if the Board reasonably deems that this is necessary in order to ensure that the Club complies with its obligations listed in Rule E.14.7.

I love this. I’ve always dreamed of them going down and petering out of existence
We had a new coach join a rowing club I was part of a few years ago who did something like this. He banned everyone from bringing in their own food for between sessions, insisted that it was porridge only and then put himself in charge of who could have seconds!!
Isn't it a little too harsh? They are a historic club after all – I would like them to continue to exist, just not be so bitter if possible.
I'd most enjoy them popping down to the Championship for a season or two before returning. Derby games are great, but watching The Ev go down is a must-see.
I would hate to think that they might just go bust overnight.
I’d much rather see them suffer a slow and painful death.
The only way they will become less bitter is if they win something, at which point the bitterness will be replaced by misplaced smugness.
I don't actually want to see any club go bust (well, apart from Man United perhaps). Would rather the clubs I don't like scrape along in the lower divisions or at least mid-table PL mediocrity.
Fuck them and their Lonsdale wearing Neanderthal fans.
Rowing club? Posh bastard.
No wonder he’s on here so much
It won't even be misplaced smugness, we'll just get more years of "we would have won more if it wasn't for the redshite getting us booted out of Europe". So same old.
As for the prospect of them going down, even if they don't this season, there's a very real possibility they could be in bigger trouble next season. What good players they have will leave in the Summer.
Tbf, VAR robbed them of a D ...so one L should be L*
Will being in the championship qualify them to enter the Sherpa Van trophy, or do the need to go down another division for that?
