Everton Summer transfers 2021

[ForeverBlue92]

Doesn't matter how the club is run providing the manager and recruitment is right.

West Ham are run shockingly bad yet no one in the media says a peep these days as Moyes has them going strong whereas under Pellegrini it was "clubs sold its soul for an athletics ground" "dildo brothers oot"

Utd was the same - invasions at Old Trafford and now Ronaldo signing later its all smiles and hopes of title challenges.

football is fickle - give Benitez time and money and we'll push forward under the Mosh Man no doubt in my mind

Poor commercial deals. We're still missing a sleeve sponsor for a start.

Suggest Playtex .....Need all the support we can get

With our debt of 100 plus million - RB was hampered by too much deadwood on high wages no other club wanted -

Ancelotti created this havoc.

Benitez replaced him and soon made it clear he was happy for James to leave, but it could so easily have been any of the other managers Everton were interested in, who came to the same conclusion.

Especially when they took one look at a wage bill which is fit to burst.

A wage bill that, right now, has no room in it for new players.

When any new manager realised that Rodriguez took up around £200,000-a-week, then they would find it impossible to, at the very least, not weigh up his future and look to see if the money could be spent better elsewhere.

Talent vs cost. Fitness record vs wages. Pay James vs paying two new players. One manager's views vs another. There was always going to be questions asked.

That's not a slight on Rodriguez, far from it, but the reality is that the 29-year-old Colombian is never going to be every manager's cup of tea, at this stage of his career and on the wage he commands.

This also applies to players signed in the past not good enough to attract any selling on fee - on long lucrative contracts -

RB had to offload at least 3 top wage earners - to buy anyone decent ..... so we have shopped in Aldi ... & let younger players go ...on loan or with a view to buy in the future sad but true.... since we have had a DOF new position we have wasted far too much money - end of -

The fact we also building our new ground - monies will be put aside for that too....

 

[Bluestar]

He would have to totally mis manage us to get fired it's a two year project

I agree. If ever there was a time when the club needs some boring stability it is now.

 

[windymiller]

When does the USA window close? I could easily see him ripping it up in the MLS.

Doesn't their season run on a calendar year? Might see him move there this winter.

It's not the positivity I care about mate. That's not a journalist's job, regardless of what team they support. I'd rather get it reported as it is. And I honestly think Brands has deserved this public stick because frankly he seems crap at a big part of his role.

But, it's the tone of it all and I just know that that info has not gone to Joyce from the club. It's from Benitez's camp.

No surprise is it that Joyce has suddenly started coming back into the fold with info since Rafael was appointed.

what info do you mean? the fact that Rafael secured the players we signed? thats hardly top secret.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Weird, defensive take.

What else could he be getting at mate. Brexit, leaving the EU, Blues, Everton fans, the lad couldn't get a work permit because the work permit have changed because we have now left the EU.

What do you think he was referring to?

So Ancelotti has thrown Brands under a bus by getting James in and then leaving then.

It's hardly an investigative journalist masterpiece on the back of a whistleblower to say we haven't been well run in the last 5 years - it's there for all to see in our finances.

Finding the right guy and trusting him is running the club well. It took West Ham awhile to get there but they're there now.

Its just an example of what happens when you purchase either dud players or sign older players who have no sell on value - they are quite happy to stay on massive wages - Rodrigues is just been highlighted here as he is probably on the most income - It does mention others you know who they are - we found it hard to give them away on their wage structure..... in their contracts they have been given with us..... also some are injury prone .....

Well yeah, obviously referring to Brexit. He said so.

It was weird you getting so defensive.

I think we are there now too - hence why the fans need to grow up and give the bloke chance to build solid foundations that have been none existent since Martinez's first season.

 

[BlueToff]

Not that.

It's the level of detail and the quotes he's got in from 'a senior staff member'. Also how he goes into detail on Brands' targets etc (and how he failed to land any of them)

Look, I'm not losing my head over it. My issue is I feel it sets a precedent of what is to come. There's one source, in my mind, of most of the info in that story.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Nah it's been 3 games. And I'd still like to have a proper DOF in. Managers lasting 3 years in abnormal.

I think we are more than happy to give him a chance. We'd have liked him to have been backed more if anything.

We just also don't want the baby throwing out with the bathwater.
