We are still appointing people in recruiting positions...I don't think we have anything planned on the player front yet, just doesn't make any sense.

We absolutely will have mate. Whether or not they are the right players is a different matter.

These appointments are for the longer term. Two of them probably aren't starting their roles for another few months.

The people put in place to run this club is impressive, Everton & TFG have identified the best people for these positions and gone for them, they`ve also been able to attract them from clubs like Man City and Man Utd. These appointments have been taken notice of by a lot of the clubs in the Premier League... I feel optimistic that long term these guys can get us going in the right directon.

I think this committee will want to get off to a great start and TFG will want to set the club on the right course, their 1st season at Roma they spent about £100m. I don`t expect like most Evertonians to se much action before 1st July and I`m sure we will go in to transfer deadline day needing a few but with these guys in charge I think we will come out better than we have been for many seasons.

I couldn`t wait for the season to end last season but now I`m chomping at the bit for Everton to be back... UTFT
I think they're doing a great job and I wish they did something similar 5 years ago when they took us over.

Building a working, smart, deep, knowledgeable sporting sector is the key in today's football business. There's nothing else that matters. Really nothing else. If you have the best brain, you'll have higher efficiency in resource management and you'll outsmart others while growing.

Money with no brain leads to failure. Think of manchester united.

People often think like children and dream of big players, but today football is an industry, and you succeed only if you have the right people at the right place.
Especially if you have a big fan base, global reach, a new stadium. You have everything I mentioned and I really hope these moves will bring you good results.

The problem with Roma has been that TFG didn't know how to operate in football. We've been a sort of crash test for them. Initially they didn't care much about management, they thought signing "big names" was the answer. They still achieved something, but there's been no organic and steady growth.

Something has changed - and I hope will keep changing - when they met Ranieri. That's been a turning point. And I'm sure his vision has affected how they handled Everton too, because in your case they started off with a very very solid managerial structure.

I wrote it here months ago, but Ranieri said Dan Friedkin told him when they first met: "I've spent a lot of money, yet I didn't achieve much. What's the issue?"

And Ranieri has taught him something about football management.

It's with people like him that you build something valuable. Experts who have spent more years on the field than at home. Moyes is surely a man of similar experience.

I hope they've finally understood that they need to invest in management, they need to bring in the best professionals, they need to have the best brain.

When you build a sporting management and fill it with experts, you have a treasure of competence that will surely yield profits. When you manage a football club the same way you manage your Hollywood firm, there's something wrong. That's the lesson to learn. And seeing what they're doing at Everton reassures me.

They have enough people in place to get some work done now. Patrick Boyland is reporting that Moyes has final say. We already have Howarth and the purchase of his analytics company to provide "bespoke data" on the players they're considering, and Hammond in place to handle negotiations. They'll no doubt do more as time goes on, especially on finding the hidden gems, but they have a lot to bring in and doubtless already have proven players high on the board.
 


Oh @Bungle , I do worry about your search history & what you type into AI, however it's a thing of beauty & I'm more surprised that it hasn't got a raging birdy hard on 🤣

Dont! Its already like playing Russian roulette opening one of Bungles posts! Don’t goad him into being even more pervy!
 
It does though.

You have a valid point regarding amortization on contracts - but the brass reality is that from July 1st we enter a new financial year and a new PSR period.
No it doesn't. Do you think we are so close to PSR breach that a few hundred thousand will do it?
