How are you finding 'New' Everton then folks?

[AmericanBlue]

Too early to tell, the "new" Everton hasn't really got going. I will reserve my judgement until we have played 10 games. Would be nice to see some action in the transfer market and an end being put to all this speculation.

I think for option 1 - 'brilliant' to be a reality, a lot of changes have to happen behind the scenes, in the infrastrucure. If not, you have a classic failed (average) takeover: billionaire walks in, sees figures, drops XM cash on players, watched the club stagnate. It seems this is not how we are doing it. We have full possibility of imminent 'brilliant'! I am very much enjoying all this and how it plays out. Patience is key.

To paraphrase doc brown 'if my calculations are correct, when we sign some boss players, you are going to see some serious s@#t'

A little better than the 'old Everton'.

What sounded great has turned a lot of people into moaning about spending nearly £50m on a centre back- money changes people!

Let's all celebrate and not moan, after all we're f-ing rich......

 

[TyphooToffee]

My worry is that moshiri and co are olny now finding out that financial clout alone is not going to be enough to sway top targets and we may have to set our ambitions a little lower to begin with.

That's why Steve Walsh has been brought in

 

[Tigger]

What kind of abomination is this poll?

 

[GwladysBlue]

I'm liking the new Everton Way, getting our transfer business done nice and early...

 

[brieverton]

I'm encouraged that Koeman was chosen as 1st pick and they then went out and got him.

Great that the glaring need for a DoF has now also been addressed in quite a short timeframe.

Delighted with what I'm reading on negotiations for a new stadium.

A little disappointed if I'm honest that we have not been active in the transfer market I hope that will change very soon.

Other than that I hope Moshiri takes up his options very shortly and that brings a new Chairman / CEO, and Directors in who can add expertise and experience.

An overhaul of our commercial operation and the appointment of a big-hitter commercial director would also be very welcome.

A review of club communications / media liaison would also be great - we need to have more of this talking ourselves up and being more bullish in the media, to change the established narrative of plucky little Everton.

Overall mark so far: 7/10.

 

[Stan Lee Park]

Underwhelming for me.
Moshiri coming in MAY turn out to be the best thing that has ever happened to Everton but at the moment all that is happened is that we've sacked a manager, appointed a new one, signed a reserve goalie and talked about everything from buying Juan Mata to painting the ground blue.
All this could have easily happened without Moshiri, so I'll wait to see what happens in the next couple of weeks.

Agree with most of that, but the glaring need for a Director of Football was only mentioned after Martinez was fired. Before then it was seen as fancy dan continental nonsense. Now it seems it is essential.

Agree with that, though I have liked the European model for a long time so for me it's great to see we are moving with the times.

I honestly didn't expect it would be on Moshiris radar to appoint a DoF but reading Joe Anderson's comments today about being impressed with Moshiris knowledge of the game, it certainly bodes well for us.

Of all the points you have listed, only the Koeman appointment has actually happened. The rest is just talk.
I'm not being critical of Moshiri at all, but let's not go overboard until we actually see something happen.

 

[Simon the Brummie]

A decent signing would lift my spirits and all 'progress' has been talk so far.

 

[vintage-toffees]

Early doors but nothing's changed for me publicly.
manager was always going to happen.
still waiting for this window to kick off for us in mid July. (Standard Everton)
new ground on the horizon. (been here thrice)

More optimistic by stories and rumours but nothing to be seen yet ( standard Everton)

While we all eagerly await a raft of big signings, let's not forget the decent squad left behind albeit previously mismanaged. I think RK will have an appreciation of what he has inherited and will focus on a strong fitness program which starts to address a major problem area of the last 2 years. By the end of the window, and that may be right to the wire, I can see up to 3 key additions. One hopefully is a top class keeper and the others will be dictated by his observations in pre season and also who we may lose.

Rome wasn't built in a day and our reemergence isn't going to be complete by September 1st so sit back, support the team and enjoy the ride. Oh aye, and stuff the RS.
