Hardly a marquee tie.

They should appoint Kevin Keegan if they need attacking football and winning/success is down that list of priorities.

I do like the idea of a home game before the season starts, so fair play. That being said, even allowing for them finishing in the top half of Serie A, they likely will be disappointed by the attendance I suspect if (as per the fans forum) they are anointing it as a "marquee" friendly. Id be surprised if the gate topped 5k.

Do you think he could achieve something? I don't but I would like to see teams at our level appoint poor managers so I am all for that.

What changes?

You was pretty strong in thinking that prices were fair until recently.

The concern is more that if he becomes a really important member of the side, that if history repeats itself, he may then miss gametime that we dont want him to miss. Plymouth fans are pretty universal in questioning his injury record. That doesn't seem to come from bitterness as otherwise they have been incredibly positive about his ability, they seem to rate him much higher as an all round striker than Hardie who scored more goals. You look at the 38 league appearances and think, what are they talking about, but it seems that he only finished 3 or 4 games that he started, he had 19 sub appearances and he only played 44% of league minutes available. Lets hope that isnt the case here as with no money, I suspect that there will be a big onus on him considering the alternative is Gallagher who is very average and himself quite prone to injury.

I was just suggesting things that people may want to be bettered as part of the overall package, whether it is food, drinks etc. It doesn't have a major effect like price etc so don't get too hung up on that part. My point is that Venkys clearly don't either see Waggott as doing a poor job or care enough to be monitoring it properly. Either way, they haven't sacked him so a huge worry.

Apparently Ennis made 38 appearances but only completed 90 minutes 3 times. He often was taken off and regularly had little niggles.

Pretty simple. Ticket sales are piss poor, mainly down to price, but also not helped by advertising, matchday experience etc. Waggott continues in his job. Either Venkys think he is doing a good job, or don't care enough to get rid. Either is a worry.

Its irrelevant to be honest what is said. Why hasnt he been sacked considering how low our attendances are? No questions asked. Why can you only have a whinge if you attend a meeting about chronic failings of the club? Surely you more than anyone can testify that what we say means nothing. You went to regular meetings for over a year with Waggott, bigging him up, saying things will change albeit everything was cryptic. And now youve finally seen through it.

And seemingly never questioned by the owners so god knows how long he will stay and even then, probably replaced by someone with the same attitude.

I am not defending him, he is doing a terrible job. But the owners must either be totally disinterested or think he is doing a good job to let him continue. Both are hugely worrying and will lead to further damage.

Compared to the owners he is. Those owners dont seem to think he has done anything wrong for a start. No doubting that he needs to go ASAP.

Of course, he is accountable and not fit for purpose. Says a lot that he seemingly isn't seen that way by the owners. Everyone needs to be accountable, including the managers and players. But the owners are by far the biggest problem.

The owners, somehow. Everything pales into insignificance whilst they continue to mismanage us, even the CEO. If we assume that the question is after the owners have left, then replace Waggott and a total re think of pricing. @Miller11 is right too on the attitude.

No I am not certain, no one is, but surely they are just common practice and it would be a big mistake even if one or two dont.

You can shave a big fraction off going forward for relegation wage drops. And a number of those will be attractive to new clubs so it will come massively down and be supplemented by parachute money.

Those wages are not verified so might be wrong (Klich has left for a start) and likely will include relegation % reduction clauses to be fair. And most of the top earners will likely be the ones that potentially will be taken by other clubs.

Even if Ennis does the business, too late to rectify last season. Not sure I get Graham vibes from Ennis either. Graham had scored goals at Premier League level and was a veteran target man, no pace, good in the air, master of using his brain. Ennis seems like a quick, youngish poacher who runs in behind but I dont think scored a single header. Chalk and cheese.

Everton would definitely be better off keeping Dyche, he is a good manager tarnished by unfair labels. He took them over in 19th and has such a imbalanced, injury squad on his hands. They might have a challenge on their hands again next season to avoid the drop assuming they again have no money. Maybe Pickford will be on the chopping block, will potentially generate an over inflated fee due to being England's number 1 but nothing special. Onana is their main asset and would leave a big hole and if they can get any fee for Calvert-Lewin then they may aswell take it as he is useless always injured. Unsure what to make of the relegated sides, all likely to have massively different squads and new managers. Russell Martin would be a poor appointment for Southampton who will likely lose Ward Prowse, Lavia and a few others will get attention including Salisu and Walker Peters. Leicester need a reset, a new manager and will inevitably lose Maddison, Barnes and of course Tielmans and Soyuncu. Unsure what to make of Leeds, again they need a new manager but I am not sure that they have that many assets that could be sold for good money.

Im not sure the O'Brien deal is as objective as that. But either way, hard luck stories aside, he had a task to get a striker and he didnt get a striker. It is as simple as that.

Dean Smith isnt a particularly good manager and wouldnt be a good appointment. They dont need stability on what has taken them down, they need a reboot.

Even amidst a relegation decider 😂

Broughton didn't ruin anything by nearly signing players? Aye, ok then.
