2025/26 Dwight McNeil

[GrandOldTeam]

When things get rushed, mistakes happen.

That'll be a joke, based on them being idiots/Parish blaming emails for not being compliant for Europa and ending up in Conference.

Easily done

It was clearly the right time for him to move on and I'm really disappointed for him, and obviously for us, that it hasn't happened.

Ultimately though what makes a club and its fans is how they treat and support people in moments like this. I've got no doubt he'll be shown plenty of support while hes still an Everton player, none of this is his fault.

You are right.

Oh well, there's always next transfer window to get rid, but until then, keep on shuffling down the wing Dwight.

Then tell him. Or his other half is lying about they just dropped all contact with him.

 

[mccole]

I just don't understand why you have a transfer deadline then have another deadline to complete the deal?

Once the sheet is in, why do you need to race against the clock to complete the most essential part of a transfer?

So stupid considering what happened to Cardiff and Sala.

Gutted for Dwight and us, both have lost out

 

[bluesb1970]

Disappointed that Everton missed out on £20m.

From what’s being said, Palace seem to be a fault and haven’t treated Dwight and his family at all well.

For his wife/partner to come out publicly complaining about the ‘hardship’ of it all is all a bit unnecessary. She should try being on the breadline getting treated like crap by your employer whilst on minimum wage.

Dwight still has a job… and is getting paid mega money for it too!
Perspective my dear, perspective.

I think it’s you that has lost the perspective mate. She’s talking about the mental health perspective. Mental health doesn’t happens to many people, of all standings. There’s a section on mental health in this actual forum, I think we shouldn’t dismiss the effects so quickly. She never once mentioned that they were suffering hardships, only the toll that the situation has taken on her partner.

We don't have the best track record when it comes to deadline day when it comes to transfers ourselves.

Two clubs who have a reputation of being a shambles trying to get something sorted last minute has trouble written all over it

 

[Frenk]

Well he now has to knuckle down and get on with it. It’s not like he needs a gofundme is it.

If it was any other club than Palace, I'd be more inclined to point the finger at Everton.

Even our neighbours had a nightmare with them.

Their incompetence is why they're Conference League, and Forest are Europa League. That's the joke Kieran Maguire is making on the tweet you shared.

Yup. I said it last year over their Euro multi-club farce: these fellas were asleep at the wheel. Utterly incompetent. A meme ownership now - and that's before adding trying to pay 20m for McNeil to the rap sheet.

At very least it sounds like the communication should have been better

They wanted Larsson a month ago and Mateta wanted to leave a month ago. The fact all this went on to the 2nd February shows they are not a well ran club right now. If this was Everton I'd be saying exactly the same. I've no idea why clubs insist on leaving things to the very last minute because you end up with stuff like this. Why can't top level clubs show a bit of proactivity and organisation

And yes it's big money business. These things happen. But that's even more reason to not let things run to the last few minutes.

Maybe because teams like us and Palace don't have the financial clout to pay the original asking price for players so we wait to see if we can get a deadline day cut price deal. City make two big money deals early in the window and the RS paying 60 million for a player to leave him where he is until Summer shows the financial disparity in the Prem.

This is an interesting point. For a forum that’s done a lot of good connection and initiative for posters’ mental health, would you say we also do similar to the players? Last time I checked they were humans too.

Welcome (back) to Everton!

That is Maguire's regular joke because that's the email address the email about the europe competitions got sent to that wasn't monitored and they got demoted into the conference because of it.

Doubt there was anything malicious,I'd imagine a few heads had fallen off there when they realised that they had been stuck with both Larson and Mateta,and finding out Mateta had a worse knee issue than they had been aware of.
