imagine how much we'd be paying to the owner - 50% of gate money plus all the extras for them to make a "return" on their investment.
We'd have been better Rebuilding Goodison 30 years ago.
...we're fighting a losing battle on all fronts - as a fan base, as a squad, as a "management team" at the club - with every single one of us, completely hamstrung by the situation (i.e. the void) at the very top of the club - both in terms of the "headline issues" of the ownership/leadership of the club and the points deductions - although it's death by a thousand cuts in lots of others ways too.
It just seems that everything is out of our hands and that EVERYONE below Moshiri at the club, from the (interim) CEO, the Director of Football, the Manager, the players, the staff at the club, and us the fans - we're all just in limbo while the club is slowing dying in front of our eyes. The chickens of Kenwright's disastrous reign coming home to roost in the most hideous fashion.
By the time Sunday comes around (or maybe even by this evening!), I'm sure I'll be up for the fight again, but this morning - like a lot of other Blues it seems - I find myself just asking "What's the fucking point?!"
...it's really an impossible job for anyone right now. Yes I'm sure a better coach could do better with these players after a year or so in charge, but we're not an attractive proposition for a better coach and weren't a year ago, let alone have the money.
No doubt Dyche having Burnley stable was aided by off-field stability.
With the predicament we are in, and everyone knowing that the likes of Onana and Braithwaite will probably have to be sold to enable us to avoid future PSR-related points deductions is hardly conducive to a cohesive team environment.
Dyche is not the main problem at Everton, it's years and years of awful decision making coming home to roost, most of it long-mooted by many fans.
...because there is no money to sack him.
Watching it all unravel is a pitiful sight. Players wandering around with no energy, no clue and no confidence and three beaten men on the sideline huddling together to point at things but basically knowing they are out of ideas (and probably wishing they could just be sacked so they can get on with their lives).
A new manager probably wouldn't turn the form around, but the current set up DEFINITELY won't.
