I would take just being fully cognisant of the problems and making the effort to fix them before it’s too late tbh.

We will see how bad things are on the 1st of February and go from there. They’ve got 12 days to sign 3-4 players, otherwise we go down.

Need a full and honest assessment of why we haven’t been able to get bodies in the door, and for blame to be apportioned correctly.

The entire Brighton 11 is 2/3 the value of a Lukaku

18th of January, 2 bodies in the door, one of them Chris Wood. Needs to be better.

I want him and I don’t want to think too hard or elaborate on why. Just do it.

Zapata is an absolute chaos merchant, much more along the lines of what I wanna see

Proper Football Man. IE, talksport cretin.

Not sure we can pin it all on Staveley. It's a collective decision for a consortium to take. So far as her judgement goes, on paper it was optimistic but not ludicrous to suggest that Bruce was the major obstacle and that a highly rated Eddie Howe could come in with a plan and change things. We had been turned down by the first target and we needed to do something. What matters is being decisive should we get to february and still be on a single win. They're definitely working hard and they have done a lot already and it seems they have detailed plans for more to do. But they also need to get working on a contingency plan for what happens if we go through more winnable games and end up with no wins. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail, and time is no medicine for bad football management.

if I'm wrong I will hold my hands up and admit it and say, fair fucks mr Howe, you turned it round. However if any of you can be arsed to read what I said about Eddie Howe in the run up to him being appointed, you will see that my wild forecasts are not as insane as they appear to be at the time of writing. I'd say give him two more games. No wins, send to gulag.

I think it is way too early to be getting pissy about PIF and Stavely. BUT. Howe is absolutely fair game as he has been objectively shite and replacing him fast will be the difference between going down and staying up.

In the middle of the game people were talking him up (and slagging off ASM, our good footballer ) but I can't see it. His crosses were behind the man, he can't beat anyone, he just seems to do a bit of running around to zero effect whatsoever. Needs replaced immediately.

Regardless of anything else, Everton will now hire a manager we could have

If we had hired a good manager, he’d be here.
