ECHO response - Poll if you would buy the ECHO or not

[Saint Domingo]

Its set pieces.

They both know there's a campaign and a lot of anger towards them in the general Everton population.

The media spin-merchants are trying to drive the agenda.

Instead of being driven by it.

tail wagging the dog etc

It's a complete waste of time. The mindless majority that the echo seems to think exist and will be easily influenced by this sort of guff won't care either way about the kitbag deal. The people who do care about it know enough to know that the echo are spinning them a yarn. I honestly don't know why they bother.

.....I opened a letter from the Echo this morning thanking me for participating in a survey and informing they will make an effort to report appropriately about Everton (amongst other things). Just got back from holiday and don't recall taking part in a survey, except on here and I doubt that our address details would be provided by GOT.

Still not buying it.

Just for clarity - Everton's commercial income in the last accounts are as follows:

Sponsorship, advertising and merchandising £8.436 million
Catering £0.934 million
Other commercial activities £3.337 million

Total: £12.707 million

Tottenham Hotspurs' commercial income

Sponsorship & corporate hospitality £37.3 million
Merchandising revenues £11.00 million

Total Commercial revenues £56.228 million

The problem is that we are comparing apples and pears. Spurs includes corporate hospitality in their commercial revenues, Everton do not. Spurs merchandising revenues are revenues before the cost of supplying the goods and distribution costs. Everton's merchandising figure is the net receipt from Kitbag.

Therefore a comparison of Everton's performance v Spurs performance cannot be made on the basis that the Echo has reported. This may be a lack of understanding, or (as others would have you believe) a deliberate attempt to mislead.

ps - I forgot to mention Spurs carry £4.29 million worth of merchandising stock, something which Everton through their arrangement with Kitbag do not have to fund or account for.

Nice one. Clears everything up.

I don't think the Echo genuinely tried to mislead us. I think it's been so long since they've written an in-depth article about Everton that they've forgotten how to do it correctly.

I'd rather think that they did deliberately mislead.

Not even they are that incompetent.

Hats of to the echo for another hard hitting story. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/phil-neville-famous-old-spanish-9597612?

Still, waiting for answers to those tricky questions.....hmmmm wonder whats taking so long?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I buy the Independant or Guardian these days

I'm not even that left wing, I just hate all the other papers to the point that I don't have much other choice

 

[stamullenblue]

I'd buy it and change the banner to blue with the Everton crest in it .....just to p..s a few people off

The latest tosh from the Liverpool ECHO

Sad that Luke Garbutt didn't want to join the crazies.

Can see the tears from here.

The sooner someone tells them to ... off ... the better.

Their absolute bile is comething through loud and clear.

Laughing at them after Garbutt told them to do one.





Will Liverpool FC and Everton FC ever do business again?

Crossing Stanley Park has become a no-go area
Earlier this year as Luke Garbutt’s contract at Everton wound down, the young left-back was linked with a move to neighbours Liverpool on several occasions.

Mischief-making perhaps or was there a grain of truth in the rumours?

Either way, any such switch would have been viewed as hugely controversial.

As the ink dries on Garbutt’s new five-year deal with the Blues we look at the phenomenon of players who did make the switch across Stanley Park.

Liverpool have conducted more transfers with Everton than any other club but the once relatively common route for many players appears to have become a ‘no go’ area in recent years.

In a similar vein to the unofficial transfer embargo that exists between the Reds and Manchester United, has the rivalry between our two local Premier League sides become so intense that direct business between Anfield and Goodison is no longer deemed acceptable?

Back in the day (whenever that was exactly), the Merseyside Derby was of course known as ‘The Friendly Derby’ but those halcyon days - if they ever truly existed - are now long-gone.

But have they also taken the prospect of senior players moving between Everton and Liverpool with them?

In a similar vein to the way that we have largely lost the casual supporter who would watch their football at Goodison one Saturday then Anfield the next to be replaced partisan, tribal followers of one or the other, it seems the prospect of any future player deals between the two clubs has also evaporated.

Oh what rot.

Of course we'll buy and sell with Liverpool, but it just won't be our hot prospects, nor theirs. Nor will it be soon - why would we sell to a rival club at a similar level, and likewise they to us?

A nothing article, scraping the bottom of the barrel as usual.

Its given its usual slant.

Let them dry their tears.

 

[BluePeadar]

you couldn't make it up.....well they do.

I wouldn't wipe Bernard Manning's dead arse with that paper

 

[AndyC]

I read that as a pathetic attempt to engender even more dislike between the clubs and respective groups of fans.

The Echo really are a joke newspaper, not fit to wipe ones rear end with never mind wrap yer chips in !

That also crossed my mind.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

I read it as a nothing article that says nothing of any insterest apart from "We used to sign players from each other, now we don't, and probably won't due to how football has change since we did".

Nothing to get upset about whatsoever, leave that for articles which deserve.
