'Fans are sick of just plodding along'
The Paddock Blues podcast's Paul Brown says he's "conflicted" about the future of Everton boss David Moyes, but he understands fans are "sick of the same old" every season. The Toffees looked in pole position to secure a European spot not long ago, but six games without a win has left them once again on the outside looking in as others leapfrog them. Brown told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I'm very conflicted.
I'm a very big fan of Moyes. Up until Chelsea , I thought we were on the right track, but we fell off a cliff massively. "Fans are sick of just plodding along.
We were terrified of relegation battles, we don't want to go back there again. I did say at the beginning of the season if you gave us a mid-table finish with no threat of relegation, I'd take it, but the carrot was dangling with Europe. And we were told at the start of the season that this team wants Europe.
We had it in our hands and we threw it away. "I think people want a change. You have to be careful what you wish for, but people are sick of the same old, same old.
"We need better players. We need another summer of big recruitment. Everton genuinely needs to go out and buy a lot of players and let a lot of players go as well.
