There is no way at all that any owner is going to be in situ before the end of June. If exclusivity is granted tomorrow, we open our books and they do their proper due diligence. That will take a little while. Then they agree to buy us and they go through the Premier League assessment, which...

It isn't fair he's been taken so soon. The man was a giant of a fella. A boss footballer, but above everything else a giant of a human being. I'm devastated. Can only hope the big man has been welcomed up there with The rest of the lads. Rest easy big fella

Hey, big man, what's your name?

We don't *need* an Evertonian owner. It isn't a pre-requisite to someone having the club's interests at heart, but the advantage is that, an Evertonians, we can be relatively certain they wouldn't be here to asset strip the club and makes us tenants in our own new ground. The thing I think...

Possibly, however the fact remains that the attraction of Bell/Downing is that we can be fairly certain that their intention isn't to try and make a load of money out of Everton and/or make us tenants in our own stadium. There's an element of safety with them around having the best interests of...

It depends greatly what your take is on the Kenwright analogy here. Bell and Downing, even combined, don't have the personal wealth required to bankroll a Premier League football club (at least not for very long). They have both founded and run very successful businesses, so the hope if they...

Major caveat here. Purdy was pretty much forced out by Benitez, and I believe he technically resigned. I think the way you've phrased this isn't very fair

The whole fire sale narrative thing makes stuff very difficult for us. It makes people we want to retain, such as Calvert-Lewin who's in contract talks, probably have 2nd thoughts and it also does very little to enable us to attract players either. I'm not at all surprised the club tried to...

Mate, I'm not trying to cast doubt on what you're saying but this sort of stuff is usually all over Twitter once this sort of thing is said and there's nothing on there at all. Any chance you might elaborate?

Put football to one side for a moment, we can talk about that any time. Super Kev has proven to be one of the genuinely good guys. An absolute gem of a bloke (and I say that accepting that we've had players here, even "legends" of the club who are absolute blerts). I really hope this isn't true.

If I'm honest, I watched none of the lad live before he got here but YouTube had me convinced he was a good buy. The scout stat geeks all had stuff to back this up and I didn't have a problem at all with the idea of him coming. Flip side of that is that I knew from watching 2 mins of Niasse's...

There's a touch of Niasse about him if I'm being honest, but that's not to say he couldn't be effective in the right set up. Fast, strong, decent in the air and very aggressive. Just has a touch like a garage door sadly.

Not "low prices". Literally zero money up front. If you think there's many players out there for that sort of deal, you should be doing his job. I'm not advocating that Beto was a good deal, I'm saying that we needed a striker and the number of strikers available for a down payment of £0.00...

Yeah, but that's purely based on hindsight Go back to the original question I asked and what would you have said 12 months ago?

Isn't he a left back?

Devil's advocate then - given last summer Calvert-Lewin had a couple of years worth of injuries that would have made Gbamin blush, if Beto was all that was available (and he showed up pretty well on all the scout data stuff you see posted everywhere), would the prudent choice have been to have...

@Eggs See?

If you're aware of any other strikers in Europe who were available on "buy now, pay later" deals, then I'm all ears but it's genuinely nonsense to be posting this sort of stuff without acknowledging the context of the financial situation we are in. Beto has been largely disappointing, granted...

It isn't that he doesn't have talent. he clearly does, but there has to have been some sort of issue off the pitch with him. Didn't Guardiola accuse of him of being overweight at one point? I'm not even sure that getting a full Dyche pre-season in would be enough for him. It's not quite Dele...
