Unless this appeal board could give a decision which would set a preferential precedent for us then there was no point really. If we beat Sheff Utd it will be difficult for Brentford to catch us and we have no real chance of catching Palace.

That is an incredibly naive approach to the squad. Football has changed so much in the last few decades. You need a squad of at least 20 players and not everyone can play every day. The subs listed for a game are as important as those starting. I remember seasons where we had eight or nine...

Who are the four at rb ahead of Coleman?

I don't think many would be enthused about the return of Holgate and Maupay... including the players I think. If, as you suggest we did get rid of 14 players and replaced them with eight then we simply would not have a squad big enough to get us through a season. I don't know if it was luck or...

It seems to me that @LocalNative was referring to the six players that contributed to our season by either playing or by sitting on the bench. There was no need to mention Dele who did not play one single minute all season. If the six that were mentioned all leave then they have to be replaced...

Joselu , a journeyman professional who spent some time with Stoke last night scored to get Madrid into a CL final. There would have been uproar on here if we had signed him. It just shows players can do well at some clubs and not at others and also what a really good manager can get from...

It makes no sense and shows just have biased these awards are in favour of the more successful clubs. Including a 25 year old just makes it an even bigger farce.

For me the solution may lie with MSP coming in as a minority shareholder leaving 777 with a reduced majority. MSP would hold a very strong hand in negotiations and could get a very good deal to allow the taleover to move forward. I don't know if that would be good or bad for Everton but at...

In issuing this statement I wonder if they are aware that there are other genuine interested parties because if 777 are the only game in town we may be screwed if they take over but we will definitely be screwed if they don't.

I like Harry Maguire I think he is a leader in a team and with a good manager could be very good again.... But. We can't afford him in terms of fee or wages. I don't want to replace 21 year old Branthwaite with 31 year old Maguire.

It looks as if the three teams that came up are all going down again. There may be some bargains there. For those saying we should not be looking at relegated players I would say that some excellent individual players could be included in a poor team. A few weeks ago it seemed we might go down...

I think his sale fell into the accounting year 30th June 2023.

I was wondering about sales we will have to make before June 30th and I have had a look at our transfers out in this accounting year already. I was surprised to see we already have had sales of about 50m which must make a big difference to our PSR together with a reduction in wages from these...

It looks now as if Forest will probably survive after beating Sheffield at the weekend and Luton not beating us last Friday. This is a real stroke of luck for the PL as it should avoid any further legal complications which would surely have happened if Forest had gone down. I do hope Forest go...

I have said this before and agree that it is a risk. I think his reputation as a manager has taken a huge boost this season, for keeping us safe and for how he handled the entire season with a small and limited squad. It will all depend on where the club really stands financially. If he sees...
