@Benjwinst "Hi, David. It's Dan. Thanks for your efforts but we've decided to go in a different direction. Someone from HQ will be in touch to finalise our contractual obligations to each other. Best of luck, bye"

@theesk @markthablue38 Superb. Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff fom @markthablue38 youtu.be/ZIyXlTI2uNM?si…

@MattJFootball The point you were making re recruitment and Iriola. @hltco suggests that one of the carrots offered to him is basically the keys to the transfer kitty. Thanks for the byline over the season. #moyesout

For the sickos #EFC

So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.

@ALANMYERSMEDIA A progressive manager for starters.

What is it going to take for Everton to win a cup again? everton.news/alan-myers-lay…

@TheAthleticFC As usual with Moyes at Everton, whenever a prize is within his grasp he absolutely shits the bed. I already know what next season brings if he stays. Just get it done.

After the resounding 3-0 win against Chelsea in late March, Everton had registered 46 points from 31 games. David Moyes’ side would have only needed eight points from their final seven matches to achieve qualification for the Europa League and possibly seven (depending on goal difference) for the Conference League. Had they kept pace with their points-per-game total (1.48) up to that point, a place in Europe would have been theirs. But instead they took a meagre three (at 0.43 ppg), conceding a series of debilitating late goals and faltering at just the wrong moment. There will be much focus on Moyes’ future, with the Scot heading into the final year of his deal this summer. All the indications so far suggest that The Friedkin Group admires the job the 63-year-old has done until now and believes him to be a steadying influence. The main focus from TFG has been on incremental growth over time, with the club having budgeted for a 12th-placed finish. @Paddy_Boyland on how Everton’s European hopes evaporated — free to read: bit.ly/4uZxhNy

@GavinBuckland1 @JezClein @efctruth20802 So by that measure, Moyes has shit the bed. Again.

@JezClein @efctruth20802 Said at time that history will show Dyche's spell here (and Thelwell's) in a very good light, considering the circumstances.

Last 5 games Dyche 3 points Moyes 2 points Last 10 Dyche 8 points Moyes 9 points Last 15 Dyche 17 points Moyes 16 points Last 19 Dyche 17 points Moyes 21 points

Maybe the reason West Ham fell apart after Moyes left was because he built the squad on the now, not the future with no interest in forward planning, fast forward to this season and how hes used young players and talk on summer transfers.. be warned Everton..

Everton’s red flags are obvious. A split recruitment model between committee and manager, no clear football authority, limited youth integration, and performance metrics that still haven’t improved despite a £140m+ summer under TFG. That’s drift, not direction.

@friedkingroup The price of a season ticket has risen sharply. Zero entertainment. If you produced a boring, predictable movie we've all seen before , would you expect rave reviews and a box office smash? No chance. Same old @Everton Some old Moyes.

@joe_thomas18 When he answers your questions in such a petulant manner, are you ever just a teeny bit tempted to say "Oh, do fuck off, David!" If no, you're a far better man than I! Enjoy your summer.

‘There has to be an awareness within Everton, at all levels, the past 7 weeks have been a calamity and that must drive a serious effort to demand more’ Piece from Spurs, where a season that promised so much ended with a whimper ⬇️ liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football… liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football…

@philmcnulty Yet quite a few of your colleagues in the media praise Moyes as the default setting. He's petulant, stubborn and has one way: his way. (fair enough if he wins stuff!) Unfortunately, It's earned him one trophy in over 1000 games as a manager. He's average on his very best day.

As for Everton, offered next to nothing today and only troubled (and that's stretching it) Spurs when it was too late. Tyler Dibling nowhere to be seen again. Same position, 13th, as last season with one more point, 49.

@Benjwinst @78Blue18 Add tk that, just over 3 seasons ago Sunderland were league one. Everton have made hardly any on pitch progress. It's embarrassing that people try to convince us otherwise.

@78Blue18 Disagree been stable for 3 years with 48 points. Issue is I wouldn’t be recruiting for a manager whose contract is up next summer. It’s scatter gun again.

TFG, Angus Kinnear and co need to set high standards and genuinely show some ambition now. Stagnation and treading water won’t take our club to where the fans want us to be. Pragmatic forward thinking approach, proactive not reactive planning. Over to you now to set the tone 🔵

@TheGaryLambert The TV image of him slumped back in tbe chair chatting to Irvine mid way through the 2nd half suggested managing the game was an inconvenience. FC Sentiment has to die. Get. Him. Gone.

For all the managers we’ve sacked over the last fifteen years, none of the sackings have looked proactive. Fans have been comfortably aware that each one had passed the point of no return a couple of months earlier. You just smell it as Dyche would say. Yesterday felt that.

I don’t think Moyes will be sacked, even if I think it is the right call to make. If he is in situ, what do you think he, as himself, needs to do? For me, he needs to connect with the fans again not just rely on nostalgia and what if. It has to be on and off the pitch unity.

Sunderland, Bournemouth and Brighton are in Europe. Bournemouth and Brighton nearly went extinct from the football league in this century. Sunderland, Bournemouth and Brighton spent time in league one since we last got to an FA Cup Final.

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF

Spent the day in Liverpool, and I have to say: I am seriously impressed by that city. I lived there for a year more than a decade ago, but it has changed in all sorts of subtle ways since I was last there. The university campus is more or less the same, complete with hilariously dishevelled towers like the Roxby Building. But the city centre is now absolutely buzzing. It is immaculately clean and packed with some of the best places in the North to eat and drink. If you like Chinese food, as I do, it is close to perfect. There is also much more of an artsy-fartsy atmosphere now, but I actually prefer it to places in London like Camden Town or Shoreditch. It feels less self-conscious and more relaxed. Another thing that really struck me was just how clean everything is. Not just the streets, but the shops and cafés themselves. It is a total contrast to London, which increasingly feels a bit grubby by comparison. Liverpool is also incredibly pedestrian-friendly. Everything is compact and walkable, so you barely need public transport at all. I genuinely cannot recommend the city highly enough.

@TheGaryLambert @John_B58 @CharlieBarnicle @PatricRidge Quite* ffs.

@TheGaryLambert @John_B58 @CharlieBarnicle @PatricRidge Quote a few are in the "give him time" camp. It's really rather odd. Give him time to do what? Fall short..... Again?

Totally understandable to be frustrated with Moyes as of late. Also totally acceptable to direct frustration at TFG (or perhaps particularly, the ‘local team’ they have in place at Everton) that they failed to see what an opportunity there was this season, back in January.
