Despite some of the early wins, I wasn't too convinced with some of the performances.
When the wins started to turn to draws I will admit I was getting concerned especially with some of the team changes and substitutions being made.
But, as the season progressed, I feel he started to get the best out of what he had available, and lets be honest, after last season the players fitness levels and morale must have taken a hit.
He didn't panic and most of his buys have proved to be successful (I know some fans don't rate Willaims, but it was a big step up for him and personally I don't think he is as bad as some fans make out.
He is not afraid of making decisions that many fans don't agree with (eg. Gerard out on loan etc)
He now knows what he has available and hopefully who he wants to bring in, whether we get them only time will tell.
If this was a school report, I would probably give him 7.5 out of 10 with a "Could do better" comment (or is that me being impatient!!!)
Like a lot of fans, I think next season will be massive for him and the club. Will the board back him, will the players he want join Everton, will he stay, will he take the cups serious
