    We're till in new manager bounce territory so is it genuine betterment or just the usual temporary upturn? It's a phoney war till the end of the season being out of both cups and we may or may not emerge from the dross of this division to snaffle a euro place but it's just papering over the...

    If we don't have a major influx of players in the summer that will be confirmation of soiled trousers the present lack of activity is a mere hint at touching cloth

    2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

    He seems to be lucky the direness of a 2 nil deficit usually means curtains bar the never to be forgotten glory of 1966. Pulling it back a couple of mins before half time just never happens and going down to 10 men is a guarantee of capitulation in this parish - but we won. "Give me lucky...

    This Old Club of ours.......

    The club itself is unmatched in terms of class and generosity and despite cynicism over the past few decades I will never stop loving the name "Everton". Hopefully one day what happens on the pitch will match what happens off it. Well in Everton

    Who do you hate more?

    I can't "hate" Everton personnel. Criticise constructively maybe vent your spleen but don't hate leave that till they sign for Liverpool etc. Delph has more to prove than Walcott. Theo can get you on your feet with his pace but his technique lets him down - he would have been a world beater...

    Where will we finish?

    Got players to come back plus overall a bit of good fortune since Carlo so a solid 9th as we're still warmed up cack. Get to summer without any more disasters to keep Carlo's stock high and hopefully the summer window.will reveal a marvellous plan

    Well if you've done your research and realise you're having a kip in an engineering shop with tools and bits of metal everywhere you probably wouldn't but if you're a fantasist ignoring facts it's not a problem because you can fly

    As you infer the Dell was/is not Goodison Park their move had far more justification than ours and still ended in them effectively going bust. Bottom line is we're going massively in debt simply to be nearer the river when the same capacity could be achieved for a fraction of the cost at GP

    It's like you think the words of billionaires are written on tablets of stone never to be broken, Hicks and Gilette, Randy Lerner et al are offering fig rolls and tea to people like you in return for a chat about using your loot in another footy adventure. Get a grip, lad

    Therein lies the humongous against the odds gamble. Not because of "Everton that" but the unescapable fact that virtually every new build has caused clubs problems from downturns in form to descent into the lower divisions and for some the ignominy of liquidation.

    Do concentrate 29.8m IS less than 30m. And the 3.8m after tax profit would do diddly to the gargantuan debt BMD imposes assuming of course we did somehow snaffle all the Echo Arena biz which is the overarching point of the question Consider yourself enlightened by perspective - possibly for...

    Anyone got a ballpark figure for the imagined additional events at BMD? The already established nearby venue dedicated to entertainment, The Echo arena, turns over less than 30m pa and runs an operating loss (according to the Echo). So even if we burn it down and snaffle their biz how are Elton...
