A moot point now, but I thought it was much too soon to start talking about relegation for Everton at that stage and said so at the time.Would never have happened (apparently), I wonder how many other teams have thought that![]()
You mean his signing?
Yeah, his signings on the main have been gash.
Well I was talking the last few years but if you want to go to history, I never thought we were too good to go down and when it happened I was not shocked.So you fully expected Utd to get relegated to lowly division 2 in the August 73.
Did you have a few bob on it?

Agreed. Sacking Koeman showed desperation not foresight or good management.A moot point now, but I thought it was much too soon to start talking about relegation for Everton at that stage and said so at the time.
A few names in this squad you might recogniseI've never seen a good side go down.
give us an example.
Everton lacked a striker but i cant think of anyone with ahem a world class striker like Rooney going down.
Which is why Fulham should be given the spot now......**** the final, just give it to FulhamPullis and Bruce showing how exciting their managerial careers are with this dull 0-0 in play offs.
Neither team had a decent shot on target. Just one long ball after after from both teams to a forward that can’t win the ball

Wow, keeper makes a save outside area with his hands... mike dean gives free kick but only books him.
Surely its a straight forward red
They obviously weren't, they went down. That is the point though, no teams are too good to go down regardless of the players.Good players but doesn’t mean they were a good side?
