I said that the other day: we may very well see some deals before the Roma game. I don't know if the owners are in town for that, but if they are I'd imagine they'd like to be greeted as conquering heroes rather than by @davek 's pitchfork mob...

I hope I am. All I'll say is these new owners haven't been massively impressive up to now. I didn't think it would be an easy summer, but it's been a lot slower than even I thought it'd be. We've all been happily distracted by the stadium etc...

They sacked De Rossi at Roma - a club legend - after four matches of a season. I very much hope to be very wide of the mark here.

That's generally how mad capitalist types work, yes.

Bet you’d love that to happen.

Not at all. He's been shafted at the moment. I'd add another year to his contract right now, because he hasn't been backed at all.

If they're as good at sacking managers as they are with transfers, I'd leave well enough alone if I were them... But, I agree. Moyes will be bulleted by this shower if he has a slow start - especially if they eventually deliver the players...

Moyes is seething in that interview but knows can’t blow his top in public. No way behind the scenes he isn’t demanding players asap and is f’cking furious. That bench was awful today as well. If anyone believes after that interview its...

And this, children, is why Everton Football Club has been in terminal decline for 35 years.

It's straight out of the Moshiri playbook: "Judge us when the window closes". We're sailing close to "Watch this space" territory now.

The tournament was agreed in Feb/March i’d imagine Moyes & owners would have thought we’d have signed more by now to have made a good go at it. Well likely lose to West Ham and united. If ppl weren’t worried they will be when west ham put 4...

Nah, don't agree. Everybody needs time to adjust to a new environment, patterns of play, tactics, team-mates, way of life, etc. It's obviously an advantage for teams to have played together and understand each other.

Yes, I meant before we got replacements but we're finding now that we can't get replacements, not yet anyway.

But I don't think we were in a position to ask them to stay until, say, August 7, when we'll replace you. I'm sure this will be sorted, it's just that this temporary "gap" in the squad size is taking a little longer than surely anybody would...

Yes, I was pleased to hear that too. Standards.
