But that win % would have gone drastically down if he had continued. He benefited from having one of the league's top goalscorers at his disposal last season and his failure to replace Lukaku even with a couple of 10-15 goal a season strikers was ridiculous and glaringly obvious that it would make us a far worse team.

He has made mistake after mistake all season.

As @dixonsafc has said above, I still believe we have the quality for a top 10 finish at worst, and by strengthening the striker situation in January would see us have a chance of 7th again. This season we were supposed to be pushing on to challenge those above us and if he had strengthened better then I feel we could possibly have fought it out with Arsenal and Liverpool for 5th/6th.

Been consistently excellent over a number of seasons, given the prices this summer it wasnt a crazy fee....Jordan went for £30 million and he had only played a few games.
 
Koeman made no effort to connect with the club or it's supporters whatsoever. Now that's probably just the nature of the fella and that doesn't particulary bother me so much as long as the team/squad isn't regressing under his tenure. But it is.

Last season wasn't great, the football played was 'efficient' and he alienated pretty much every flair player.

As for this season make no mistake, he hasn't been sacked cos we never replaced Lukaku, he's been sacked due to his total inability to get anything out of the squad he does have.
 
Always a chance that this season would be awkward for Everton. Tough start and nee real striker. Sapped confidence and so on.

Mistake we all make is to think that if a team looks decent and finishes seventh as Everton did, and then signs a few good players, we kind of "add them on" to the team.

But as we all know it's not like that. You have to take that decent team apart and hope that the one made with all those shiny new players is at least as good, or better than the old one. It often doesn't happen, and hardly ever does when you sell the goalscorer and don't replace him.

It was coming.
 
Dyche early favourite, I think he would take it given the opportunity, probably unsettle him and the team just in time for the mags to play them a week today, more luck for the skunks
