As Carlo flies off to Madrid Rodger is joined by Cameron from The Mighty Blues and Rose to reflect on the end of a(nother) dream.

• Has this been brewing for a while?
• Will some players follow him out the door (and not Gylfi or Gomes or Delph)?
• Where do we look for a new Manager?
• Or do we need more of a Coach?
• Whose choice will that be?

After the season ended with a comprehensive defeat at the home of the Champions, Rodger is joined by Mike Prenton.

Everton proved to be the perfect party guests with no hint of spoiling any celebrations, even obligingly missing a penalty, and then providing a “guard of honour” for the departing hero Aguero to bag a brace.

Where next for Everton? Do we have a plan?

After a frustrating, lacklustre performance at Villa Park yielding just one point Rodger talks to Mike from the Unholy Trinity Podcast to discuss where that leaves our European hopes.

With a maximum of three attack-minded players on the pitch, a goalless draw was hardly a big surprise, but did we need to set up so defensively?

After an 8th (EIGHTH) defeat at home Rodger and Matt Robinson have some strong words for Carlo, the players and indeed the Board at EFC.

FC Cosy has merged with FC Complacent to produce a “style” of football lacking energy, pace and commitment along with the hard graft, professional pride and confidence required to win games of football at any level.
