Everton need someone to bring back stability and togetherness - how about Joey Barton?

Considering the offence?
The majority of which were for flares, telling uefa to go f**k themselves and the flying of Palestinian flags.
There have a few pitch invasions alongside those, but they're few and far between.

Unsworth caretaker.
After that, the betting says Dyche. However, if Moshiri has been burnt by paying out Koeman's contract, I sense Allardyce, or possibly Moyes.
I always feel a little bit sorry for a manager getting the sack, but my goodness, Everton looked shockingly bad yesterday.
The only light relief in any of that was Cech getting all cocky in front of Oumar.
I'm intrigued; while I certainly don't condone fireworks/flares and personally don't see why some of the banners were produced (i.e. Rodgers at Work against Linfield was really daft), do you really think Celtic should be fined for the fans flying a Palestine flag?!
I'm well aware that a minority of our fans are clowns - i.e. those setting off flares and fireworks, but waving a flag?

Isn't it a FIFA rule that bans political banners at football grounds?
Or something along those lines?

The next Barcelona match could be interesting...
Not that I'm aware of, I think uefa had at one stage. Most clubs throughout Europe would have flags on show in the crowd during CL/EL games. What makes one flag more political than another?

You extract the urine surely....everyone else is
Moyes was a great appointment at the time, but he is a managerial has been now. Worryingly, he is among the bookies' favourites.
To be honest, I've no idea what UEFA's rules are - I'd guess that they probably just apply them to suit themselves to be honest

From UEFA, a rule that forbids:
"gestures, words, objects or any other means to transmit any message that is not fit for a sports event, particularly messages that are of a political, ideological, religious, offensive or provocative nature."
Pretty obvious why they got fined for waving Palestinian flags playing an Israeli team.

Since the City game, the team has been shockingly bad in every game. Some fans were saying they were okay on Thursday against Lyon, but personally I thought Lyon were much better than us.
The bookies no doubt react to what the punters are punting on, it has fluctuated between Unsworth, Moyes and Dyche in the past couple of hours. I don't want Moyes, Dyche would be okay for me, but my choice would be Marco Silva, if he was available. Why would they leave their present clubs though? This might get me shot down in flames in certain places, but if we end up with Big Sam, I wouldn't mind too much, he would steady the quickly sinking ship, and I don't think his football is as bad as some make out - it can't be any worse than what we have suffered so far this season.
Why'd they get fined for flying it against an Icelandic team a couple of years before? Why did UEFA try (did they succeed?) to fine Barcelona fans for flying a Catalonian flag?
