😂 I do enjoy Sports Witness I must admit. Charles Stevo and Toffee Transfers have nothing on them.

Unai Emery in advanced talks over new Aston Villa deal in blow to Man Utd #avfc
This has always felt like how it would turn out and what a boost for Villa. Best manager in the Premier League IMO

🇪🇸🗣️ Roberto Martinez: "My time at Everton? We had to sell Fellaini, Anichebe, and we brought James McCarthy, Gareth Barry, Romelu Lukaku. I think we were just one transfer window away to be able to win silverware." 🏆
"But I accept as well that we needed more. There are many games that we lost from small details, that if we would have won, I'm sure I would've had more time. Looking back, I'm very, very proud of what we achieved. Some of the football that we played in those 3 seasons was of the highest level." 🔵✨ (@GOAL)

Quite a bit of Everton and Moyes v Dyche focus on this.
I'm not sure it's a basis to completely bash Moyes's record vs Dyche. It is, of course only a selected time period and not Moyes entire Premier League record.
- Since 22/23 their records are similar.
- Since 2015 there is more of a gap, but could argue Dyche was at a club unable to match the clubs Moyes was at.
- Third chart plots the changes over time which does show for Moyes things are trending the wrong way.
- Fourth chart shows results which show Moyes again declining, but now only down to the Dyche level having set the bar a little higher.

As teams put floodlights in the late 1950s special competitions were set up to take advantage and make money. Football league took control of this to organise League Cup. Top division teams didn't take part till 1970 with UEFA cup place offered and Wembley 1 match final
A common tweet in recent times but a weird one nonetheless.
I’m personally glad we haven’t been relegated and then “celebrated” promotion 🥴
Everton the only English team across the English Pyramid not to be relegated, promoted or win a Trophy this millennium.
Surely their fans want them to go full strength against Newcastle United tonight?!
Surely more hope in Football 😅

💰🗣️ Brentford owner Matthew Benham: "We could have signed Eberechi Eze for £4m in 2019. We could also have signed Omar Marmoush on a free about three years ago."
"We could have signed both for about £4m combined. The summer we got promoted to the Premier League, there was actually two players that scouted amazingly, amazingly well... one was Mudryk which was maybe a bit complicated if we signed, although we were quite close to signing him for a low fee, for about €20m. Eventually, he went for more like €80m."
"Then Michael Olise, his scouting was unbelievable, out of this world but we just got promoted and we weren't used to the crazy agent fees in the Premier League at the time."
"The agent fee for that one was so insanely high that we stepped away, even though there was part of us thinking 'well, if you combine the agent fee and the transfer fee, it's kind of not too bad,' but the agent fee on its own was just so insane that we stepped away. There's always going to be ones you miss out on."
