Im a supporter of Everton, not any one individual. I support by going to games and buying merchandise.
You don’t get to decide if I’m a ‘supporter’ or a ‘follower’
Tell me why im not allowed an opinion by you?
Do I swear at you in the first instance? No I do not. You’re the one who tells me to ‘fuck off’ whenever I post anything.
I’ve been ‘supporting ‘ Barry all season when most have been slagging him off. Previous Message
So I’m certainly not drunk.
It’s ironic that our stable position last season was down to Moyes. Not that you acknowledge that.
We all want to be in Europe and winning trophies.
But to slag off Moyes constantly is ridiculous.
You’re not a supporter. You’re a follower. And a negative one at that. Previous Message
Then maybe get it right rather than some drunken reply to anything I say.
Maybe look at your posts of 15 March and 24 February too. Previous Message
‘We’ve been pretty stable for 3 seasons now’
Really? Mind blowing how you can actually think that.

Stability would come from the ownership for me and a manager like glasner who knows how to win in different countries in Europe. Getting into a European competition is probably our best chance of winning a trophy again and I would personally like to see a manager who has won competitions in Europe.
We’ve been pretty stable position wise for three seasons now. I don’t see what glasner couldn’t do what Moyes has done with more potential upside.
Our turbulence came from the ownership under moshiri and Kenwright than any particular bad manager. Previous Message
Yeah, I can live with that.
I completely understand why people may feel we need to gamble at some stage and that based on his and our history that Moyes may have a ceiling. Based on that same shared history, we're nowhere near reaching that point yet, and if history is our only guide, then we are pretty much guaranteed a few more seasons of gradual improvement amongst the stability.
What I can't understand, is the need some have to gamble right now. After seasons of upheaval where we begged for some stability, why are people so keen to throw the dice and gamble again so soon? There's a time and a place to gamble - and it's when you can afford to lose. Do it from a strong position; that way if you have to go back to go forwards you don't end up in a relegation battle or coach-sacking death spiral again. We're in a better position than we have been, but I reckon we'll be much stronger in 2-3 years. We've just enjoyed the longest period of steady improvement we've known since at least Ancelotti' departure in 2021, although I would argue probably since summer 2014. In that context, queuing up to put the boot into the fella who has achieved that seems rash at best to me. It's a no-brainer in my view to give him another 3 years. At that stage I suspect he and we would be ready to move on, but that gives us 3 years to sort a smooth succession plan as well.
Like I say, I can understand people want us to leap forward RIGHT NOW in a way that is unlikely with Moyes, but bear in mind our squad remains hugely unbalanced with key deficits, with which few managers have proved themselves capable of dealing. I also think we'll have much better options to twist in 3 years than we do now, and in the meantime I'd take the very likely scenario of calm, gradual returning of the ship to an even keel ready to give the next fella a really good starting point.
