[Shogun]

Took over in Feb 2016

Best game: Everton 4-0 Manchester City
Worst game: Everton 2-5 Watford
Best signing: Pickford
Worst signing: Klaassen (at least Gbamin had an excuse)
Craziest moment: DCL v Palace (Headlock a close second)
Best manager: Ancelotti
Worst manager: Lampard

[Gash]

Best Game. Beating Liverpool at Anfield, you could probably put beating Palace to stay up a close second. Both a poor reflection on where we are these days under Moshiri
Worst Game. Recency bias perhaps but 2-3 Bournmouth this season, still shocks me that one.
Best Signing. People probably want to say Rodriguez but I'd probably say Gueye both times, total spend is about £7m on him.
Worst Signing. Where the fuck do you start but pound for pound probably Sigurdsson but the list is long.
Craziest Moment. From a purely Moshiri point of view constant phoning in to chat shite with Jim White on Talksport
Best Manager. Ancelotti I suppose, even if he didn't actually achieve much. Unpopular opinion but I'd also rank Dyche up there just for what he has guided us through.
Worst Manager. Bit like the worst player, the list is long but I'll go Benitez.

[Goaljira]

Best game: 4-0 at home to City
Worst game: Losing to Norwich at home. Losing 5-2 to Watford at home. Losing to Wolves at home 3 times on the bounce. Actually, pretty much 80% of games outside of the COVID season.
Best signing: James Rodriguez.
Worst signing: Probably Tosun because he was shite and expensive, where as a lot of the others have been either shite or expensive, or completely forgettable.
Craziest moment: Us being affected by the Ukraine war probably more than actual teams from Ukraine.
Best manager: Carlo
Worst manager: Anyone who wasn't Carlo.

[Lazarou II]

Best game: 0-2 vs Shitemen
Worst game: Too many, recently 2-3 to Bournemouth
Best signing: James Rodriquez was like a Covid fever dream
Worst signing: Delph
Craziest moment: Gangster/Jordan Belfort vibes meeting prospective managers on Yachts
Best manager: Ancelotti was like a Covid fever dream
Worst manager: Alladyce or Benitez in a tie, I can't seperate them for different reasons.

[AjaxAndy]

My memory is shot to pieces so I can't even remember most of the Moshiri reign but I'll give it a go:

Best game - Beating Brighton 5-1
Worst game - Probably the Bournemouth one
Best Signing - Pickford for longevity / James for those 6 fun games.
Worst signing - Beto
Craziest moment - Nearly being sold to a Ponzi scheme
Best manager - Ancelotti
Worst manager - Benitez

[Shogun]

I forgot how bad it actually was. Peak Michael Keane in this one.

[Gash]

Christ, Josh King, another in a long list of shite strikers we've given a paycheck to.

[Shogun]

Twatting United under Silva 4-0 is up there as well for best game tbf

[Raptor]

Best game - Palace, 3-2 win
Worst game - Bournemouth - that can't happen
Best Signing - Probably Branthwaite, although James was amazing
Worst signing - Either Brands or Gbamin, but special mention for El Ghazi
Craziest moment - a few, the realisation Carlo was happening and then James was joining were positives, but on the flip side the likes of Big Dunc getting interviewed for the role - madness
Best manager - Ancelotti
Worst manager - Benitez

[Dchans]

Best game - city 4-0
Worst game - quite a few to choose from but to lose three goals in 10 minutes takes some beating!
Best signing - Pickford or Gana
Worst signing - tosun
Crazy moment - the infamous fab 4 quote
Worse manager - Rafa
Best manager - Carlo

[Blueomar]

Best game - The Palace comeback
Worst game - The Bournemouth capitulation
Best signing - James
Worst signing - Siggy
Crazy moment - The headlock
Worse manager - Rafa
Best manager - Carlo

[TheRam]

Best game- Beating the reds last season. My favourite night at Goodison ever

Worst game- Burnley 3-2. The feeling I had after that game was sickening. Thought we were gone.

Best signing- Pickford. The reason we’re still a premier league team. Huge for us in every run in.

Worst signing- Sigurdsson. £50m down the drain, that was the point I knew we didn’t have a clue

Craziest moment- Moshiri saying lukakus mum did some sort of voodoo that told him not to sign a new deal.

Best manager- Silva. The only manager who looked like he was building something. Let down by the club massively.

Worst manager- Koeman. Started the rot and had us on the backfoot ever since.

If Ancelotti wasn't ancelotti his 10th and 11th wouldn't make him best manager. We are so incredibly desperate to be fancy again

Given the list of managers though I'm not sure anyone was actually better. I really wanted Silva to work out but he unfortunately didn't, everyone else was either absolutely shit or had some issues that eventually ruined any good will they'd built up.
