I'll go for a 2-1 win to us, well.. purely because its pure Everton that. Nothing ever makes sense in this bizarro-land, so why should this be any different

The online reviews don't paint them in a positive light, but they've drawn this on themselves and need to suffer the consequences

Running at a loss of 20M per month.. it can only get worse, unless all significant player assets are sold early this summer.

Probably explains why the PL is so keen on that loan being paid back for 777 to take over. In effect they wouldn't be taking over if that loan is defaulted on. It also reflects the near worthlessness in value of a partially built stadium. Even if completed, if it ends up being owned by someone...

I'm no financial guru, but I have doubts this is correct. If 777 take over and then default, an administrator takes over rather than the creditors. And the worst case in all scenarios is bankruptcy. Creditors holding security and with precedence of payment will always want full payment, and...

I think it wishful thinking that his shareholder loans are not repayable just because they don't have a specific pay back date. My assumption would be that there's a clause in there like the MSP and R&M loans that they're repayable if/when the club changes ownership. Only the documentation for...

Maybe its just me, but I don't see these new conditions as especially onerous. The money to get us to the end of season is obvious, it makes no sense to take us over and then immediately plunge us into administration. The 150M converted to equity has been pretty mooted since the news of the...

If we look at their other businesses they're hemorrhaging money, so they need something that generates money for the longer term. I don't think just doubling their money does that. Plus if things start going wrong, they've relegated Genoa and Hertha and not sold up, so I'm guessing a setback...

I'm struggling to think of an example of a footballing childhood prodigy, who massively failed to breakthrough as expected, but later made the breakthrough at another club. In all the cases I can think of offhand, they nearly always continue in the game but at a pretty mediocre level. I can see...

Who's next up? A North Korean crypto billionaire? A Syrian chemicals trillionaire?

Both Trafford and Bazanu came from the City Academy and clubs thinking that players from there are almost automatically going to be superstars. Truth is young keepers are nearly always awful bar once in a generation players like Buffon. In time I think both Trafford and Bazanu will be decent to...

I think there's some merit in buying players from relegated teams. Its not like they suddenly don't fear relegation any more, if anything having gone through the process once, they're going to do whatever it takes to not go through it again. Players that are good enough, will prosper in a decent...

Will almost certainly be seen quickly at BMD. Once LoR are informed there's no more money for payments, they'll have people and equipment removed within hours. Whether there will be any money for the players to get to end of season is a question. If they're not paid, they could claim breach of...

With Ashley Young out wide supplying the ammunition to them by beating the full back with pace

You forgetting Holgate or just not counting him because he's out on loan?

I've still to figure out in my head if playing three out of the four at home is a help or a hindrance

If we're depending on people who get punched to the head for a living to be our advocates, we're pretty doomed.

This x 1000 for me. Football has moved on, largely due to the likes of Guardiola. Moyes, Dyche and the FSW are all dinosaurs of the past that haven't adapted tactics or methodologies. Until this changes, the on-field results will continue to mirror whats happening off-field too.

I actually think he'll stay, because there's only so many teams that can afford him, but they don't really need him at the moment. The RS will probably want another season out of cripple Van Dijk, then bring Quansah through to replace him. City have Gvardiol and Ake and so seem covered for now...

Pretty much, except with the reduced costs of transfers and wages in the last year or two, its probably not sufficient to trigger FFP3. The bigger issue I'd guess is that we know 777 aren't great with cashflow. So to have pumped in 150M, they'll want that back pretty quickly if they're denied...
