The biggest hypocrisy/problem the premier league and EFL have had is that they sign off and give the green light to these "characters" taking over UK clubs, many of them (probably all) with no connection to the club or place. They then punish the club and fans with fines and point deductions...

As much as i think there is a level of corruption stenching out the PL, the so called "brains" at the club have made absolute twonk decisions for years. Gambling on thinking you were signing top players for big money has never gone so wrong. Preferred the days when we dug out bargains - and yes...

Keep on picking Keane and expecting different outcomes. Definition of delusion

As bad as it's been for a while. Things can only get better second half, right? Everyone looks like they've been eating pigs in blankets constantly for a week - hopefully a Dyche verbal volley at HT will get rid of this lethargy. Still only 1 down, lets get something here and be able to say we...

Wasn't able to watch the game live, but just seen it back. Lots of great performances, but this guy is the real deal, absolutely brilliant performance - and if we keep him will grace the new stadium. Top man. Wouldn't be surprised if he keeps it up might get a sniff of Euro's selection

Though as Jiang Guangtai :)

Cheers for this

That may be the case, but in world of accountability to fans ( i know ) surely a rule on transfer fee transparancy is a must. Based on how much of fans from multiple clubs end up banging on about FFP. I know we all say it, but what a load of bowl licks

But why declare some transfer fees and not others

I guess its another blag for clubs to “pretend” what a great job they are doing

Why are some transfers allowed to be undisclosed and some not?

I am sure someone can explain, but how can clubs still state undeclared transfer. Especially in the days of FFP. I know we’ve done it a few times and i’m still noticing it now. Our perennial “target” sarr has just gone to Marseille on one. Anyone clued up on this?

Yeah, I've been reading about this today: "John Clarke, born in Amersham, lived in the village of Fiskerton in Nottinghamshire where he worked as a farmer. After he lost his wife Mary at a young age he moved in with his brothers and sister Elizabeth, who was licensee of the Waggon and Horses...

Recently been doing my family tree, and it turns out some of my relatives back in the day had an Everton forward lodging with them, Alex Latta - 70 goals in 148 appearances between 1889 - 1895. Seems like he was a bit of a player from what I've read, we brought him down from Dumbarton and he won...

Nearly 37 years to the day, since my first ever game. Everton v Villa 1 March 1986. Wish we had a team like that again. Lineker had bagged a hat trick against City the previous week and we were looking really good.
