    Just a change of performance would be nice. Like looking like they want it from minute one, you can be sure that Burnley will!

    Roberto Martinez is available and plays much better football, he's just one of many potential managers that could improve our fortunes.

    There are plenty of decent options out there, your claim (as with most of your claims) is utter bollocks.

    Let's see how much of a minority it is when we lose to Burnley on Boxing Day.

    We'll be two wins away by the weekend.

    We should lock Dyche in the changing room and refuse to let him out until he agrees to be our manager.

    How is Roberto Martinez available? Also I know quite a few Everton fans and by far their biggest complaint about him is the brand of turgid sideways football they played before the plan became 'punt it to Deulofeu and hope he gets it to Lukaku'.

    Haha fair enough, wouldn't fancy him either to be honest, Schalke played some complete ****e under him and their squad is twice as talented as ours.

    He's won 50% of his games as manager, very few managers that would consider us have that sort of success rate, Bruce's is 37%.

    He finished a successful campaign, it wasn't down to him completely. By that line of reasoning, he also took them to their worst league finish since they came into money and also played boring football doing it.

    Bit disingenuous to compare them though as Bruce has tended to run minnows in the leagues he's managed him and Di Matteo has managed amongst the best teams.

    I'm sure the Chelsea fans were bored ****less when they beat Spurs 5-1 at Wembley in the FA Cup semi, before beating Liverpool 2-1 to win it. Or when they knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League, before going on to beat Bayern Munich in the final.

    Like MK Dons and West Brom?

    Even at Shalke, where he didn't have a great time, he still won 42% of the games.

    I'm sure our fans were bored ****less during the FA Cup Final, or getting promoted on the last day of the season.

    If we were still playing like that, we wouldn't be bored ****less now.

    Well I'm personally not anyway, but I don't understand why you'd want to replace Bruce with somebody who historically has his teams playing **** football if that's a complaint you have.

    I would consider appointing Michael Dawson as player/manager, and bring Andy back as first team coach to assist. Just putting it out there!

    That would be because I don't accept that he plays **** football.

    When he was sacked at West Brom and Chelsea, he still had the support of the majority of fans at both clubs, how often does that happen?

    That's fair enough, we'll have to agree to disagree.
