The similarities between Barnsley and Everton....

Both teams have reluctant owners in Cryne and Kenright but both love the clubs.

Moyes when he took over at Everton mid season with the club in trouble and then kept them up.

Had a relatively successful second season qualifying for Europe - OK people debate how successful Davey's second season was.

An awful start to his 3rd season which saw them bottom after 1 win from 10 games, managed to avoid relegation, just, playing dour football. Fans calling for Moyes head, lowest season ticket sales for sometime.

Then in his 4th season Everton go on and qualify for the Champions League, with record half season ticket sales.


So there's a lot to be said for a bit of patience and an owner with the club at heart.

 

ADS and Mitch Ward played for both - END OF SIMILARITIES! nt

 

they have 30k plus fans a game, we have 10k.

thats the difference

 

Both Moyes and Davey were employed by Preston North End!

 

True - but if we could become the Everton of the Championship then I'd be delighted.

 

Davey's second season wasn't a success - top half at christmas, relegation zone by april.

Can't be compared to qualifying for Europe

 

From your point of view....

However people looking in still go on about the cup run. A FA Cup semi final for a Championship club could be compared to qualifying for Europe for a Premier League club.


The comparison just made me think.

Rome wasn't built in a day and all that.

 

Bloody hell mate, that's a stretch

 

Both play in red & white

Except Everton.

 

P*ss off the lot of you then!

Jesus - last time I try and encourage you lot to be positive!

 

Jack Hackett would never have been so rude.

 

FATHER Jack Hackett to you you disrespectful grunt.</p>

ahhh that's made me laugh.

 

Carl Tiler played for both clubs

 

Moyes brother once watched a match at oakwell nt

 

they are called the Toffees and we are in a sticky predicament
