You're surely forgetting the genius of changing the left back

Always been a fan of Squier's work, although his now attitude to NUFC is becoming predictable and boring but his latest work hits the nail on the head.

Work?

An opinion, a moderate ability to draw and a compliant media outlet to deliver his mediocre overtly political views about football.

[ewerk 30620]

I enjoyed his overtly political views about football until they were about us.

[Rayvin 5223]

I lost interest in Squires a bit over time but I honestly do think he's consistent with his views so I don't take issue with him pointing the finger at us. His skill IMO is managing to keep on top of all the various micro-developments that occur across the week's football news and fitting them into his comic. I agree he's not the best artist.

Fucking hell, I didn't see that one coming. Given that their owners don't seem to have a pot to piss in they're obviously shit scared of going down.

[Sonatine 11391]

Didn't the new owners use some sort of leverage buyout to get the club in the first place?

I assume he's been prepping the team all week for Sundays game too. This decision will probably relegate them, and then do them out of a manager that could get them promoted next season

New manager bounce, watchout Frankie

I think the timing can only mean that they have someone else lined up ready to go.

The Dyche Man goeth.

They've been using the club's money to pay off the debt that they got themselves into to buy it too.

 

They're in a proper state by the sound of it, having been run really responsibly for years.

[strawb 4266]

I would like to see what Dyche could do at a club with some money 

[Craig 6682]

Utterly mental for them to sack him at this late stage. Can't see it doing anything but giving Everton an advantage.

[Gemmill 44900]

Depends if they get a bounce. I mean he's led the team all season and they're in the bottom 3 so it's not like he's been crushing it. 

[Sonatine 11391]

 

[Rayvin 5223]

That is staggering tbh. Burnley looked even now like they'd make a decent fist of it. Hard to think of anything other than relegation for them now, no matter who they get in.

I get your point, but I think they're a day late and a dollar short.

 

When we drafted Benitez in I think it was early March and Shearer was announced on April 1st ("8 games and 8 games only.") and both those were too late for the bounce. 

I might be wrong, but I reckon Everton will view these events with a wry smile rather than any form of fear. 

[Howay 12496]

Agreed, feels like a desperate gamble by the new owners who’ve sadly fucked the clubs finances. 
 

They’ve done shite this season but from the outside it looks like the lack of investment finally caught up with them. 

[Dr Gloom 21924]

Dyche did an unbelievable job there. Deserved to leave on his own terms. Burnley may sink like a stone now 

[Gemmill 44900]

I don't understand everyone saying that's them fucked now. They've won 4 games all season, they were more than likely fucked anyway and we're quite comfortably beaten by bottom team Norwich. He'd been there ten years, maybe it's just time for a change. 

[wykikitoon 20156]

Mad decision now like.
