Pay the fee, get the report and educate yourself.
LOL. You brought it up in the first place (and second place and third place and fourth place ... you won't stop going on about it). You are walking naked down the high-street angrily accusing people of being perverts for looking at a naked person. Either tell us what you think you know or give it a rest.

What he said...
 
Yeah - Wait till we finish 7th. - and then we can all wonder "what if" for another 8 years.

The saddest thing of all is that there will be a lot of Evertonians who end up celebrating 'almost' finishing 4th, and they will then ask you whether you remember 'almost' being relegated 14 years ago, as if that represents a yardstick for Everton Football Club.

And then on hearing the relegation quote there will be a selection of evertonians who ask "do you remember us being boss and winning titles" like that is the yardstick for Everton football club.

Times change roll with it. Close to fourth IS better than what has gone before but worse than what we had previously.
 
For everyone giving D410 a hard time his basic point is right. There are plenty of available sources out there that assess our credit worthiness and deem it junk/don't lend

There is a 2010/11 creditsafe report on toffeeweb (I can't link but you can go find it). This is a year out of date but our score was 12 and the overall risk rating horrid. There is a full report with commentary online there. The latest accounts are worse so this will only have got worse. It costs typically £10-20 to access this kind of data online and there are many sources with Experian one of the best known if people want to do more research.

The basic point made though is true. We are NOT credit worthy meaning we can only access unconventional and very expensive sources for new/incremental borrowing and this is a risk that we cannot justify as the new tv deal is in effect already spent (covering current wage bill and new contract extensions) and the inherent risk around future player sales means nobody will accept that as security.

I'm NOT a big fan of BK but I have to believe that he would find a way to give Moyes money now IF there was any viable option open to him. We simply don't have any viable options...which is, at least in my view, something that has to be laid squarely at the door of BK and the rest of the Board but that is another argument altogether.
 
Not been on the forum for ages. Is the general consensus that high profile expensive midfield signings, reported in the press are us preparing for life post-fellaini (i.e if someone triggers a rumoured release clause) ?

I wouldn't want to lose Fellaini half-way through the season (if at all) myself.

Mirallas and Gibbo back and we've got what we need to take us through. Maybe try and get that young striker from Milan on loan.

Obviously if we pull money from somewhere signings would be nice.

According to him we tried just that and he turned us down to fight for his place at milan. Started at the weekend too.
 
Slightly more constructively we rate very poorly and the extent of the reliance on directors' assurances on future funding/Going Concern in the audited accounts is a coded way of Deloitte highlighting above normal risk (and I am a qualified accountant, ex-auditor, trained by Deloitte before I get accused of subjectivity). We are in worse financial shape than many on "watch" status rather than active Pompey baset case.

"Caution - Credit at your discreation" ...seen our credit limit value? Nothing to worry about then.

cheers, fella. Everyone wants to be spoonfed....twitter has a lot to answer for. oh well back to flights of fancy and the transfer thread.
 
Arsene Wenger - quote
"The prices go always up at the start of the transfer market and go down in the last week. Sometimes as well they go up in the last week, but most of the time they go down in the last week.

"You know 90% of the transfer activity happens in the last week, if not in the last 48 hours."


Colour me ignorant but I had no idea. I suppose its common sense really.

Brian Fantana - quote

'They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time'.
