AGM

So they’ve paid £30mil just for the option to buy the stadium naming rights?

So they’d again need to purchase the naming rights?

Love all these shenanigans.

Its perfectly legit mate I bid 29 million so he had to out bid me

It explains why my £127.56 offer was flatly refused. I though Macca's Mound had a nice ring to it.

30 million quid for first refusal on something that was always going their way is hilarious

Exactly right

It’s also known in the trade as the “here’s some money mate” gambit

You can have your opinion on Brands but calling him a 'unmitigated failure' is a bit too far. The signings we have made under Brands have been a improvement over the signings Walsh made, albeit it wouldn't be difficult to improve on what we had. We are still trying to recover from the absolute disaster Koeman/Walsh left us in, the fact we are still paying the wages of players out on loan like Sandro and Bolasie makes me feel ill.

I think it's spot on. I want him gone as do many more.

You, Dave and that weird looking fella with the crap fringe?

If you're happy with his recruitment then you're anti-Everton in my opinion.

Don’t think the fella deserves the pedestal some blues put him on in all honesty. As you say tho opinions.

I cant really get my head around all this 'Brands's signings have been a disaster' stuff.
Bernard, Richarlison, Gomes, DIgne all good signings
Mina, ok signing with the potential to be good.
JPG, unknown as of yet.
Sidibe - not a bad loan signing.
Kean, not great so far but I think he's part of the reason Ancelotti is here so for that he was worth it.
Iwobi - meh, not great but showed signs at 10.

Edit- Delph, forgot about Delph, a definite negative there

With the exception of Iwobi (and ruling out JPG), all these players are capable of playing in a top 6 side.
After Walsh, Brands wasn't in the position to go out and gamble on future prospects. He needed to steady the ship.

If you look at the current Everton set up,
the disasterous signings still at the club are
Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, maybe Walcott, Keane, Sandro, Bolasie, Niasse, Martina.

Basically, Ancelotti looked at the DoF setup at Everton and saw that Brands was on the board and still took the job.
If it's alright by Ancelotti...

Up the FFP dodging blues!!

That's just ruined The Esks spreadsheet.

 

[Daytripper]

12k waiting list is decent to say we have a bang average team. The away following is always quality too.

Anyone checked on the Esk? Hope the fella is ok..
