Just for some balance here
TFG less than a year into their tenure
First summer window with a net spend higher than the previous 4/5 combined
New football leadership team yet to be fully in place - arguably could have retained previous DOF for consistency this summer but that would have been criticised
Financial stability and debt restructured
State of the art stadium always going to drive price increases - that’s part of the point - it’s a revenue generator.
Move to a bigger house, pay more in bills / council tax etc
Goodison retained (no asset stripping there)
Plenty to suggest things have changed and will continue to change for the better but we all have a decision whether we pay the price they want us to.
If anyone thought we’d flip from being systematically crap to great in one summer then you haven’t been watching!
Last night was crap. We will get turned over much worse this season as is always the case. We will ultimately improve this year though. Building takes time
I get the frustration but we shouldn’t tar the new regime with the same brush as the old. Yet.
