It's weird, though, nearly twenty years ago the World's Greatest Living Evertonian (self-appointed) told us that Goodison wouldn't get a safety certificate and that we had to move to a Halfords in Kirkby and yet here we are in the distant future looking forward to decades more football. Funny...

He had a better team in front of him than Pickford, though. Tim was a perfectly serviceable Premier League keeper but he doesn't come close to some of our other keepers and I'm not sure he could ever have been described as "elite".

That's what I meant, really. Plus he seemed a little more warm to the club than in some other interviews, although given the nature of this interview that's perhaps unsurprising.

Agreed. It's a bit of a surprise that that hasn't started happening yet, given we've secured our top flight status. Maybe fewer contracts will be renewed than many of us are thinking?

Said the same thing on another thread. "Selling" Goodison to the women's team before the 30th June could effectively give us a clean slate. Get it done, Dan!

Beto's a lot cheaper too.

I worry that we're going to end up keeping both.

He was fine, no better. Seems a top bloke but he wasn't underrated.

Excellent news. Delighted for the women's team and delighted that Goodison Park will remain a fixture in L4. Great for the club and good news for the area.

Interesting change of tone

It's the hope that kills us, Rich! We never learn!

Maybe. Eventually, though, I assume the costs of maintaining a structure that isn't used will surely become an albatross in its own right. I would imagine they'd take them down gradually, probably starting with the Bullens, but who knows?

It'd be amazing if we can make that transaction before the end of this PSR cycle, effectively giving us a clean slate from July onwards.

I honestly have no idea where we stand in 24/25 from a PSR perspective but it seems logical to me to push any major expenditure into 25/26 when our income will take a big jump upwards. I might be adding two and two and getting five, though, so feel free to ignore my musings!

They will reduce the capacity eventually but I suspect they'll take their time with it.
