1995-2020 = the longest barren spell without silverware in Everton's history

But for a new all seater stadium being built by Manchester City council in order to win the commonwealth games, and then being handed it, they probably never would have done. That attracted a country to purchase them, allowing them to spend freely. City are the exception here, not the rule.

There are plenty of “fake sheikhs” (i.e billionaire ownere - not always from that part of the world) who have bought English clubs since that time with the promise of free spending and a handful of English clubs can testify that it’s not always as it seems. If this Newcastle deal is ratified, I imagine that will fare the same.
 
Mistakes have been made.

....it'd be great if the stadium delivery could be met. I just dont think it's possible. This is just a pantomime. We certainly wont see the back of this scheme for a good 18 months though. Right to the bitter end it'll go, at which point I expect the carpetbagger to be searching for a buyer.

Lions led by donkeys. As per...

Again building a stadium on the docks isnt just somebody going to B&Q and buying a few screws.

"The carpetbagger" doesnt make a single penny profit unless a spade at least goes into the ground.

Hes almost 400m out of pocket so far, he aint selling us for anything above that unless we have something more.
 

It hurts me in a way that I have come to realise to others its probably considered irrational how much Everton - and by this, I mean Everton’s Current Board, Previous Boards, Current Owners, Past Owners, Managers and in many ways, players, Media, the wider football world - of their acceptance and general agreement to the inconsequence that our Club as a major force in this country has become. Nine times league champions, multiple breakers of transfer fee records for players, a ground befitting of a World Cup semi-final.

We are rightly proud of our history but for a generation, we have been sleep walking into insignificance. Shame on many for that. No doubt football has changed since the Premiership was formed. A move we instigated let’s not forget. What has played out since is nothing short of criminal. Acceptance of our place in the Top Division is not the standard by which this club should measure itself, but our decline has been so dramatic that we have had to accept the ignominy of celebrating this on final day season game cliffhangers. The reasons why and blame culture that persists has to be resigned to the past. We are playing catch up on a level we’re the gap has never been wider. Our progress has been too slow for many - I agree - but there is progress and we have seen recent investment of a level that has been unprecedented since the sixties, but in my view has done no more than keep us relevant, yet way short of what is really needed. It’ll take time and perhaps not in my lifetime there is future success to come - but as it stands the club is at a crossroads and the decisions and delivery this Board makes in the next five years will be the most defining of a generation.

Oh boy. That's like saying FSG are out of pocket by ponying up £300M for their Liverpool shares.

Moshiri wont lose out on his shares bought, and the club's feet will be held to the fire in order that the debt he bought is bought back off him or converted into shares for another sale.

FSG didnt buy the shares with their money Dave, they loaned the lot and made the club pay it back.

Same with the hole punch, do keep up.

Ok. You believe in Moshiri and that this BMD stadium will be secured. I dont want to argue with you on that. I just disagree.
 

I think people think its dead easy to get a club from nothing to the top, dead, dead easy.

I mean all it needs is for us to throw loads of money at things and its proper dead easy.
Thing is Kenwright n co, has taken this once great club, to Nothing in the first place !
