As the league with the highest exposure rate, the Premier League is never short of topics. The Premier League has just passed the halfway mark, and several head coaches have already been sacked, including Manchester United's Ten Hag, Leicester City's Cooper, Wolves' O'Neill, Southampton's Martin, West Ham's Lopetegui, and Everton's Dyche. Every time a head coach is sacked, the media and fans call for Mourinho to return, but recently, Mourinho has no intention of returning. Everton suffered five winless rounds, and Dyche was sacked. However, regardless of the game, Everton's opponents were all top seven teams. During this period, Everton drew 0-0 with Arsenal, drew 0-0 with Chelsea, and drew 1-1 with Manchester City, which is not a bad result. Unfortunately, Dyche encountered a new boss who loves to change coaches, namely the Roma owner Friedkin Group. Roma first fired Mourinho, sweeping out the meritorious coach Mourinho who helped Roma win the Europa Conference League championship and the Europa League runner-up. For the stingy Friedkin Group, investing in the team is too expensive, and changing coaches is the cheapest approach. Looking at it this way, Dyche's experience is not surprising at all. There are reports that Mourinho is expected to take over Everton, but this is just wishful thinking from the media and fans. Mourinho will not leave Fenerbahce casually, let alone accept an invitation from the Friedkin Group. Therefore, Everton brought back the meritorious coach Moyes to continue their previous relationship. Last time, Moyes coached Everton for 11 years, and it is unknown if he can last more than…

In the summer of 2002, following China's participation in the World Cup, a significant news story emerged: Li Tie and Li Weifeng joined Everton. Although not a top Premier League team, Everton is an established club, and the acquisition of two Chinese players was seen as a direct result of the World Cup effect. Sponsorship by Kejian Kejian Company bought out Everton's chest advertising for two years at a cost of 2 million pounds, with an additional clause stipulating the introduction of a Chinese player (or two, one being a starter). This clause seemed unusual, but Everton had limited options. As a mid-to-lower table Premier League team, Everton's strength and commercial value fell short of their local rivals, Liverpool. Manager David Moyes already had plans to select cost-effective Asian players, so there was no conflict between his intentions and the sponsorship deal. Moyes himself scouted during the group stage of the World Cup, evaluating players. While Kejian provided the key to Everton, it cannot be said that Li Tie and Li Weifeng's move to the Premier League was solely due to Kejian's influence. Selection Criteria From a pool of over twenty Chinese national team players, Moyes would not choose veterans or newcomers; he preferred players in their prime. This meant that experienced players like Fan Zhiyi and Zhang Enhua, who had previously played abroad, were not top choices due to their age. The selection narrowed down to players like Li Tie, Zhao Junzhe, and Xu Yunlong. Moyes urgently needed a defensive midfielder to partner with Thomas Gravesen, making Li Tie…

David Moyes, 61, officially returns to Everton after a 12-year absence, replacing the sacked Dyche as the new manager to lead the team through the remainder of the Premier League season. The contract is set for two and a half years.‌ During his previous tenure from 2002 to 2013, Moyes managed Everton for 518 games, achieving 221 wins, 134 draws, and 163 losses. Under his leadership, the team entered the top ten in the Premier League nine times, qualified for the UEFA Champions League in 2005 by surpassing rivals Liverpool, and reached the FA Cup final in 2009.‌ In 2013, Moyes left Everton and was handpicked by Sir Alex Ferguson to become the new manager of Manchester United. Unfortunately, he was dismissed after only ten months. Following this, Moyes went on to manage Real Sociedad, Sunderland, and West Ham United, leading the latter to win the Europa Conference League title in the 2022-23 season before stepping down in June 2024.‌ After a 12-year hiatus, Moyes has returned to Goodison Park to reunite with Everton. Currently, Everton stands at 16th place in the Premier League with three wins, eight draws, and eight losses in 19 matches, just one point above the relegation zone. Upcoming fixtures include Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton & Hove Albion, presenting Moyes with significant challenges to avoid relegation.‌

First Major Transfer of the Winter! The €80 Million Man Reaches an Agreement The collective braking of military vehicles has given City the opportunity to catch up. Although Manchester City has only won 3 out of their last 11 games, with a record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 6 losses from round 10 to round 18, they are only 2 points away from the top four. This season, the departure of Alvarez has exacerbated the problem of Haaland's lack of substitutes and the homogenization of forwards, and the issue of weak attack must be resolved. Manchester City's midfield and backline are facing problems of aging and injuries, especially after Rodri's injury absence, the team lacks a leader, and the midfield is almost paralyzed. Since there is still hope for the top four, Manchester City will strengthen the front, middle, and back lines this winter. Now Manchester City has secured a striker and a defender first. Meeting the €80 million asking price! According to Sky Germany, Manchester City and Marmoush have reached a comprehensive verbal agreement on personal terms. On January 10th, Sky Germany reporter Pleitenberg and Patrick Berger reported that Manchester City and Marmoush have reached a comprehensive verbal agreement, and the personal terms have been agreed upon. He hopes to transfer immediately, and his teammates already know that Marmoush wants to join Manchester City, and Frankfurt is ready to let the player go, with an asking price of €80 million for Marmoush. But by the summer window, Frankfurt will significantly reduce the asking price. Currently, Manchester City is…

Folks, today I have to share with you the juicy scoop about the Everton managerial position, which is more dramatic than a TV series! Can you believe it? Mourinho has become the hot favorite to replace Sean Dyche as Everton's manager! Keep in mind that Everton's owner previously fired Mourinho, so this "plot twist" is truly jaw-dropping! The prediction companies are all betting on Mourinho taking over from Dyche, and this matter is becoming increasingly intriguing. It's said that Everton's new owners, the Friedkin Group, are ready to say goodbye to Dyche as early as next week. The "Special One" Mourinho is highly likely to head to Merseyside to embark on a new coaching journey. Dyche himself also hinted before tonight's FA Cup third-round match against Peterborough United that if the new owners don't consider changing managers, it would be a dereliction of duty. These new American owners are indeed working diligently. What's even more interesting is that former manager David Moyes is rumored to plan a return next summer and bring the team to their new home at Bramley-Moore Dock. This series of moves is truly unpredictable. If Mourinho really takes over Everton, it would be big news. After all, just a year ago, billionaire boss Dan Friedkin of the Friedkin Group (also owner of Roma) had just fired him. This Portuguese man has had his fair share of challenges, having been sacked at Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan. He even mentioned that being fired by Friedkin was the most heartbreaking for him. Last summer, he…

If the worst-case scenario unfolds, Manchester United faces the risk of losing their lucrative partnership with Adidas, should the club be relegated from the Premier League this season. Such a dreadful fall from grace seemed unimaginable until Ruben Amorim admitted that, following a string of dreadful results, the club was "clearly" embroiled in a relegation battle. United have lost five of their last six Premier League games and are only seven points above the third-bottom spot at the halfway point of the season. This is a far cry from the brief honeymoon period under Amorim when they defeated Everton at Old Trafford, being just six points off second place. The club's kit deal with Adidas was renewed 18 months ago, set to commence in 2025, marking the second decade-long run for the pair after initially reuniting ten years ago. The figures attached increased from £750m to a reported £900m, making it the most valuable such deal in world football overall. However, there are contract clauses that protect Adidas from pouring money into a lame duck, and these clauses have now surfaced given the turmoil on the field. In the accounts published by United for the 2023/24 season, the new Adidas deal was announced, confirming the following: "If the men's first team does not participate in the Premier League in any year, Adidas may reduce the applicable payment for that year by 50%. "Furthermore, if the men's first team is relegated from the Premier League, or if it is determined that the men's first team will not participate in the Premier…

How difficult is it to never be relegated in the Premier League? Only 6 teams have achieved it, including Everton, while even a strong team like Manchester City has not accomplished it. The Premier League, one of the most watched leagues in European football, has attracted the attention of fans worldwide since its inception in 1992. The league has developed for over 30 years, gradually improving and seeing an increase in the strength of its teams. Some weaker teams in the league have been relegated, with some perhaps returning to the Premier League and others possibly falling into obscurity. So, in the more than 30-year history of the Premier League, which teams have never been relegated? Let's take a look today. Everton - Best Result: Fourth Place Although Everton has never won the Premier League title, the Toffees have never been relegated in their 33-year history in the Premier League. In the inaugural season of the Premier League, Everton finished 13th with 53 points, successfully remaining in the top flight. In subsequent seasons, despite not having any standout performances, Everton managed to stay in the Premier League, continuing to compete at the highest level of English football. The 2004-05 season saw Everton achieve their best result in the Premier League to date, finishing fourth with 61 points from 18 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses. Everton also finished fifth in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, maintaining a mid-table position in subsequent seasons. In the 2022-23 season, Everton narrowly avoided relegation by finishing fourth from bottom. In the 2023-24 season, Everton…

Nottingham Forest has climbed to second place in the Premier League after a 2-0 away victory over Everton, evoking memories of their past glory as European champions. The first goal was assisted by Anthony Elanga, who joined from Manchester United, with a header relay and one-two pass with striker Chris Wood, culminating in Wood's lobbed shot into the net. Elanga also played a part in the second goal, again teaming up with Wood, this time through a foot-pass, with Wood assisting Gibbs-White to secure the win. In his last four games, Elanga has contributed three goals and one assist, including scoring in three consecutive matches, playing a crucial role in Nottingham Forest's rise to the top four of the league table. Since leaving Manchester United for Forest, the 22-year-old winger has been involved in 20 goals in the Premier League, with a record of eight goals and 12 assists in 55 games and 3484 minutes, averaging a goal contribution every 174 minutes. Erik ten Hag sold Elanga to Nottingham Forest after bringing in his favorite player, Antony, who has scored and assisted fewer goals than Elanga in the same period. This is not to say that Elanga is superior to Antony, but rather to illustrate how well a player can perform after leaving Manchester United. So why couldn't he achieve the same at United? At Manchester United, Elanga played 39 Premier League games, mainly under interim manager Ralph Rangnick, with only three goals and three assists in 1791 minutes, contributing to a goal every 298 minutes, far less impressive than…

In the 18th round of the 24-25 Premier League season, a focus match was held at the Etihad Stadium, with Manchester City hosting Everton. Despite creating numerous scoring opportunities, Manchester City could only manage a 1-1 draw with their opponents, failing to secure all three points. After the game, Manchester City defender Akanki expressed his dissatisfaction with the result in an interview with Amazon, believing that the draw was not fair. In this game, Manchester City showed a strong desire to attack from the opening stages. In the 3rd minute, Manchester City won a tactical corner kick opportunity, with Foden making a precise cross from the left, and Gvardiol heading for goal, but unfortunately the ball hit the post and bounced out, failing to give Manchester City the lead. However, just 11 minutes later, Manchester City broke the deadlock. Doku faced two defenders on the left flank and showed off his excellent individual ability. He cleverly broke through and sent a slanted pass, with B seat rushing in front of Bransvit and shoveling the ball, which flew into the far corner after a deflection, giving Manchester City a 1-0 lead over Everton. Guardiola celebrated with a fist pump on the sidelines, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory. However, football matches are often full of variables. In the 36th minute, Everton got a great counter-attack opportunity. Doucoure crossed diagonally at a 45-degree angle to the back post, where Akanki missed his clearance and Lewis leaked a man at the back post. Ndoye took advantage of this opportunity…
