Everton in not being able to wrap up a swift signing despite winning the lottery and being in the midst of a 'new era' shocker.
As far as I see it nothing really has changed apart from all the fans getting all horny dreaming of which world class players we could snare.
Let's have the board's actions do the talking. As of yet they ain't done a thing aside from sack a manager far too late and thus probably rob the club of a great chance to get to the FA Cup final and finish higher up the league. Who wants to be the first one to argue waiting to sack him prior to the final game was the right thing to do? He needed to go months before he did. Maybe we'd be sat here with some silverware now.
(Yes, I understand what The Esk has said with regards to investment and stadium plans and money promised for transfers, etc, and have no reason whatsoever to not believe him, but the fans need to see actions and things happening... come on Everton, get it sorted and let's have that feel-good factor back. I fully believe the club will make some great signings this pre-season, but the fans need to see things happening. Rumours on the internet will get us nowhere unless they are backed up by actually happening.)
