Because of the scouts we have? Isn't one of the basic principles of the multi-club model to share certain resources such as scouting and so on? So basically, he will be rocking up with a floppy disk and a scrap book at least, you'd think, of players looked at by Roma. As well as being able to...

What's this got to do with anything Dave? So are you saying you'd on;y be happy with an American if they are a democrat with Green party policies/beliefs?

Yes, but re people forgetting that if clubs are allowed to spend what they want then it won't be a top 6, It will be a top 2, owned by 2 countries, with relatively bottomless pits of money. Compare Abramovich v Saudi for example. Abramovich's net worth is £9 billion. Saudi? 1.4 trillion. People...

City's legal bills must me massive. Does it affect PSR?

They're not Kenwright though, are they? They're actual businessmen, one worth £300m+ and one worth £500m. They are clearly on a different plane to Kenwright as businessmen, who only got anywhere near that level of net worth through clinging on to Everton, but even then his lack of acumen meant...

Had this convo loads of times. Why would you knock back 5 years money for 3 years money? Suarez signed a new contract six months before he left Liverpool.

I've spent the best part of an hour or two reading through. Shed a tear when I caught up. Even missed my supper, but went through 4 giant lolly-pops.

I take your point on the interest payments, but debt can be restructured by new owners. If anybody does buy us, I'd imagine they would be borrowing the money anyway, and that would then become the debt. My only point was any prospective buyers won't be looking at books (projected or...

No chance we are at that now though, is there? Gbamin, Mina, Iwobi, Townsend, Davies, Coady, Begovic and Gray off the wage bill since that time? Is that correct? Were Dele's wages also included in them accounts? Gomes now off the books . And Maupay will be included too. I know there's been...

Least we wouldn't have to sack him.; He'd quit after about three weeks. He's a trumpet. No thanks.

When our fans 'turn up' at Goodison, we're no laughing stock my friend. Many an opposition player has wilted in front of it. More of a laughing stock if you sit there biting your nails, if you ask me.

Perhaps so. The people who have gone after us this season have tried to break this club. Our owner has breaking it for years, and these [Poor language removed] have tried to bury us once and for all. So,yes, we might be shattered, but we should also be effing fuming. I know I am. Time to bring it to the fore. As...

This is my big fear in all of this. No matter how bad things get, we always 'turn up' when it matters. My big fear this season is that the fans have just been through enough and there's just too much to worry about. I hope to god though that we turn up in full, defiant, we shall not be moved...

Well, He doesn't need to lie about stuff for that to be true. It was broken when he got here. Not even up for debate. Besides that, his DoF, amongst other people at the club - probably including senior players- will read that and know it's a lie,, if that is what it is. Just don't buy it mate.

Not what he said though, is it? Knowing how much money is likely to be available to spend (i.e what he's told is gonna be available to spend, and by all accounts he was promised very little) is not the same as 'knowing the accounts inside and out' is it now?

You say that, and you might be right, but Dyche reckons he actually did it as soon as he came in to the club: Don't reckon he'd make that up, myself. A lot of people he works with would know if he was lying about it. Most people tend not to lie for no apparent reason, especially when people...

I get your point. You can only sit back and watch a manager go so long without a win. It's just a fact, and one that Dyche will be well aware of. However, there is caveats. There's the added pressure that has been heaped upon players and manager by events beyond their control. Also, the no win...

It might well generate revenue in that time though. Granted, not as much as first team games, but I can see any test events having big demand. It's also not like we're starting from a position of zero. As in, we will still be generating revenue at Goodison during that time, but can add to the...

No, you're almost certainly right. Although I will add a couple of things: - We will still have the right to host concerts and stuff. If we're going down that avenue with the stadium, then I'd expect to see at least one there in summer '25 before the season starts.. - As you say, any events...

You're completely right, in all of this. Top and bottom of it is,; if we played open attacking football where are the goals coming from? Let's be generous and say Calvert-Lewin could get 12 goals, Doucoure 10 goals, Mcneil 7 goals, Harrison 7 goals after that you're scraping the barrel. There's...
