I think there's a lot in that tbf but I reckon TGF are serious about making a success of Everton no doubt.

If there's going to be a new manager then it makes sense to keep some powder dry.

Mind you as late at the sunlun game I think it was Kinnear alluded to us not being a club who chops and changes manager in his programme notes.

Seemed like a big hint moyes had or was about to earn a new contract.

The fact we bottled getting europe means that probably changed. I think he was only ever meant as a short term fix and said as much in his first everton tv interview when coming back.

Up to chelsea game he had probably done enough to stay as we were locked in to some sort of europe from how it looked.

Something deffo went off piste after that as shown by the form of the team.

He's been his own worst enemy by a) bottling europe last season and b) acting the tit now.

We've bought well and with a few more additions we look well placed to get into europe even if it's the conference league.

Then we're back in business as that's an eminently winnable trophy meaning we'd be in the europa league.

His only real chance of staying would be if that happens so you'd think there'd be win/win scenario for everyone.

Shame he couldn't do that or win us a cup and then go and be scotland manager.
