If we don't get into the top 4 what are your predictions for Everton football club

[Brennan]

Hang on is the Europa being folded and the CL being extended to 6 spots in the league? It is coefficient that will make or break if so.

That's what Platini is considering.

 

[bluejock]

Depends on what happens with Moyes and our transfer fund. More chance of Liverpool being the 6th team in the long term.

Can't help but agree.

Despite being utterly pants on the pitch, they still have ridiculous market value, huge sponsorship deals and remain a global brand.

I don't see Moyes leaving to be honest.

But then I didn't think that Lescott, Arteta, and Rodwell were leaving either.

Me neither.

But Moyes can only do so much. We're in a situation now where we've just posted a £9m loss, but part of that was due to the slump in ticket sales which have been much higher this season. Couple the new merchandising deal with the £20m worth of new TV income next season and there's no reason we shouldn't be able to spend money in the Summer.

If we sell Fellaini and Moyes doesn't get the majority to reinvest into the squad it will be a disgrace.

They run down the contracts or pay off the flops they have on the books now. Then buy new with no guarantees. Lets see if they stick it with this manager past 18 months.

Agents eat the TV money. Them and the tax man. Players see under 10% after tax because they have to live here. (increase).
We need another 10k at Goodison. Sad but true.

10k capacity would make a lot less of a difference than the TV money will mate. Even in an ideal world where we sold out every one of those ten thousand seats for £40 a game (which would never happen due to STHs and kids/concessions) we'd only see an extra £7.6m in revenue.

The best way to increase revenue without getting into huge debt for a new stadium is through commercial rights and merchandising, something which this board is inept at managing.

Ashleys direct sports stadium didnt last. So corporate has to be increased and the chang shuffle saw a lot of STH decide never to take up new tix again. All I think about is Dunlop with this area of thought.

I don't mean naming rights really, talking kit sponsorships and our merchandise deal, along with our actual shirt sponsor. In those areas we are lacking compared to our competitors.

I highly doubt we will get into the top four, we are simply not good enough I am afraid. I would like to see us part with Moyes when his contract expires, and bring in a manager who encourages an attractive style of play. That way we can attract better players instead of the dross we have bought recently.

What are you on about lad? 3 points off 4th and injuries to Mirallas and Gibson with the transfer window still open. C'mon have a bit of faith!

He is a red****e wum, BITTER because the manager philosophy has got them of to their worst start in the premier league era, absolutely laughable.

I agree mate, but you have to admit that we would be a long way off fourth if we had not been given so many decisions in our favor, we have been lucky with that and we are still in with a chance but I just feel we would so much better off with someone like Laudrup.

Mirallas is amazing, the next Ronaldo i reckon, but it is evident that he is using us a as a stepping stone to greater things. And Gibson is terrible mate.

When Gibson play's we don't get beat! Weird but true...

Worst windup ever, from the 21st century bitters.
