He’ll have to be good to replace Mykolenko as a starter. I know Myko gets a lot of hate on here for his attacking but he’s absolutely solid defensively, positionally sound, great one on one, doesn’t make mistakes. I think this lad will have to be...
Would be good to have options, play Mykolenko a more defensive, experienced fullback against the likes of Liverpool and this lad against the likes of Burnley. Also what happens if Mykolenko gets injured there is no one else to take his place, no...
That's a tough call to make. Shouldn't come to that choice though if you have savvy negotiators with great contacts in the corporate world. We obviously dont.
On a related matter: I think it's clear now that the sponsor's name/logo is being used...
I wouldn't say great embarrassment but it's certainly not an easy pill to swallow considering the lack of Everton branding so far. Hopefully this changes for the better.
I will admit to being a little underwhelmed too at first glance. The kid in me didn't like the word Dick either. Exposure, yeah a world household name would have had more impact for sure.
As for needing cash, we have no idea what was on the table...
We needed to get cash + exposure from a sponsorship deal. We got cash...and really the 'details' on that look far fetched.

Hard for a mere mortal like myself to know how big they are in thier world or how big they can get but if they feel they can afford it then fair play to them. We can all argue until the cows come home over is it really 10 mill or actually half...
I think their numbers are actually quite impressive, they have a turnover of circa £150m but a profit of circa £50m (around 30% profit), they can easily splaff £10m of that profit on some great advertising.
I work for a multi billion pound...
I'm not sure fighting cases for hospital trusts against patients and against health care unions is a feather in their cap, tbh.
But it was the size of the business I was referring to in any case and the incongruent tie up with us in terms of...
I know Dave but it's an unwinnable argument. They are either for the NHS or for the patient. Either way someone is on the wrong end of it & the NHS need to have legal representation. It's hardly the biggest face palm we could make as a sponsor...
When Dave went missing for those few months a while back I was genuinely concerned for a guy I have never met. Made him more human to me. Don't get me wrong I fully understand where most of the forum are coming from & get it but we're all just...
