Argue the merits of this all you like but you can't get away from the fact that this is how we are now percieved and with good reason.
Here's an extract taken from another newspaper article.
Six top-eight placings in the last seven years is a fine record.
This will be the target for Moyes yet again this season, yet with each passing year it is becoming harder and harder to repeat his magic act.
Manchester City have joined Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal as the new big four.
Just beneath that elite, Liverpool and Tottenham have invested heavily in trying to get back into the Champions League.
The challenge from below Everton is also increasing, with Stoke and Sunderland snapping up players to improve their squads.
Yet Moyes doesn't even have the cash to land free signings.
He fancied Miroslav Klose to solve his goalscoring problem, but could not compete with Lazio when it came to offering the German personal terms.
Wes Brown and Charles N'Zogbia were two more names on his wish-list, but he has been reduced to the role of a passive bystander because of his lack of cash.
It now seems he is even losing out to Championship clubs in terms of what he can offer players.

The bit about not even having the money to land free signings is worrying as I'd imagine the club would have made some by now to quell the unrest.
Everton outbid by Championship side

Outbid by Leeds, for a player our third choice keeper Turner replaced?
I am glad that is not the quality we are looking at!

Romania,take your point H&G were the best thing that happened for us for a long time.
Unfortunately they ended up spending £100 million.

LOL, we were looking at him given Mucha's supposed unrest, now we've still got Mucha & he appears to be staying, we don't need him. The lad himself has now gone to be a first choice t a lower league club & all of this translates (in the world of Crispy) to us being 'outbid' by a lesser light in the football pyramid.
Hilarious in it's total idiocy.

I didn't say it was 100% true although that is possible I simply said it's how we are now percieved.We have become a laughing stock and with good reason.

I could give a flying toss how this non story is perceived by some hack, who couldn't even be rsed to check out the facts surrounding the story.
Yeah we're skint, we know it, everyone knows it, but only in your tiny mind does that equate to us being a 'laughing stock'
How any Evertonian can create a thread with the intent of portraying us as such, is beyond me.
Maybe if you actually went to the match, you'd have more of a passion for club rather than the politics.

You don't half get shirty when you've been made to look a fool.What's up don't the mods pull the articles on here for you like they used to on the other 606 when you'd took a pasting ?

Oh I wish we had signed a third choice keeper who was replaced by Turner.
Moyes you plank sort it out, we need three international GK's at the club!

Shirty? Hardly, just passing comment on what I think of you & your value as an Evertonian.
I must have missed you making a fool out of me, as I'd say on this thread that cap is definitely yours Andy
