With the imminent release of the 2015/16 accounts this thread will cover all the interesting points. Although not a precise science (thus giving myself some margin for error) I am expecting a reduction in operating profit before player trading from £16.0 m in 2014/15 to something in the order...

From the front page When you speak to almost anyone in football about Everton Football Club, you normally get glowing references back – be it about their personal dealings, the warmth of welcome, professionalism, and how well the club is run. The one major exception to that group is...

Simple question. Who is/was the greatest header of a ball since Joe Royle in an Everton shirt?

Had a search and I couldn't find a thread dedicated to Everton books - thought it might be a good idea. I wanted to let people know that Dr David France's latest book "Everton Crazy" is now available on pre-order. There's only 1,000 copies so I guess you need to be quick! "All royalties from...

I don't know all the details behind this initiative but I know it's for a genuine and needy cause and Everton Football Club have become official partners. The Everton Supporters Trust and the Spirit of Shankly have come together to help tackle foodbank shortages with collections at all home...

I've kept a journal or diary since I was a teenager, and over the summer decided to work out how many times I've seen Everton live. Now I'm firmly in the camp that you don't judge how big an Evertonian you are by the number of games you go to as there's so many contributory factors -...

A bit of fun this one. Quite simple, how much will our net spend be this window? Closest answer to the final figure wins a GOT mug or dinner with @Bruce Wayne.

Assuming control, the first 100 Days…, by the esk This week marks 100 days since Moshiri’s acquisition of 49.9% of Everton Football Club. The first 100 days is a term coined by a radio address by the US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in July 1933. He realised that the first months of a...

Why watching Everton in a new stadium need not be any more expensive than Goodison Park., by the esk One of the fears for the bulk of fans when moving to a new stadium is the threat and usually the reality of increases in ticket prices. This may seem particularly relevant in the case of...

The scale of the off-field challenge facing Everton, by the esk I wrote last week about the reasons for feeling optimistic about Everton, the need for a change of management – now underway, and the need for changes off the pitch. Now this is not going to be a personal vendetta against the...

Why there is a demand for change and the reasons to be optimistic for the future, by the esk Looking at Everton at present, on a day by day basis is rather like the tumultuous final days of a fading and failing empire. Without the arrival of Mr Moshiri, the situation would be extremely bleak...

Imagine for a moment you get a call from Bobby and he asks you to suggest a source of inspiration to be used in the dressing room prior to the game today. What would it be? It can be anything, music, film, memory from the past, an inspiring individual, a quote or a piece of poetry, a former...

Nobody invests in regression, by the esk Despite the desperate gloom of the Anfield debacle, and the impending feeling of further capitulation in the semi final on Saturday, we need to remind ourselves of the future. A season that has promised much has mirrored Martinez’s near three years...
