We as a club are on the brink IMHO we have an aging squad, an aged stadium and and a board who can't/won't invest in any department of the club and certainly the one's that are desperate for investment, under this board we have gone from being 20 million in debt to 49 and the club is currently running year to year at a loss and that obviously is no sustainable, when the board took over we owned our own training ground, now we rent one (which is of a better standard) but it is not ours, and the stadium is 10 years older.
We were one of 3 clubs who last year voted against FFP coming in along with Chelsea and City (obvious) because we thought it would put off potential investors when really it is because one of the rules of FFP is your wage to turnover ratio should be around 50 to 60% not sure exactly where as ours is at around 80% so if it is carried out to the letter of the law we would not be able to enter the CL anyway in the near future.
We are almost certain to not get the CL this year infact due to the Carling cup finalist not being in the league European places there is a good chance that we won't qualify for any form of European competition because after our next 2 league game (Norwich away and Reading home) we play the final 10 games where on average 1 every 2 games is against teams in the top 7 with all bar City being Away.
Then we have the Moyes contract situation hanging over the clubs head, that is something that could at anytime be sorted I understand but the longer it drags on the less likely it would seem that he will sign.
Then there is the worry of our top players leaving and for me only Felliani fits into that category at the moment so hopefully that can fund some sort of transfer business in the summer as we all know he will have to go before we spend a real penny this summer.
And for the rest of this league season we have 2 strikers who would consider themselves 1st teamers and they won't get 20 league goals between them in fact I doubt they will get 15.
Its ****ing miserable at the moment.
I don't know about everyone else but I have felt utterly deflated when I woke up on the 1st Feb and realised, with our best chance for years to get CL we did not improve the first team one bit, and I can't get over that feeling, so depressing.

.....I certainly wouldn't include team management as part of the phrase 'years of club management ineptitude'. I genuinely feel that a series of challenges can rightly be made against the Board for a number of abysmal financial decisions that have left us in a poor strategic position. What I can't challenge is the performance of a manager who despite the Boards failings has continuously overachieved. I still think the club could be in a precarious position if it loses its greatest assett - David Moyes.

Use the money we receive from Felli and Baines and pay the debt off once and for all

Like I said I have felt this way since the realisation came through that our club saw fit not to improve squad, 1 win in 5 in the league 3 of which we have failed to score and a tough set of aways for the rest of the season is reason enough to be pessimistic.

I just find it sickening that we were presented with yet another opportunity to geg in on the Champions League glory, but we let it pass us by AGAIN!
Everton are a massive club and we have had some absolutely wonderful opportunities come our way but this board have failed to capitalise on any of them! Kings Dock, 2005, 2009, last month!
Moyes could have had us in the Champions League years ago if he'd had the slightest bit of backing.

Moyes has kept the majority off Kenwrongs back for 11 years, if he were to go, and we suffered any sort of decline on the pitch, I would expect the board to feel the wrath of the masses.
with the people running the club, this wouldn't change a thing. debt would begin to rise again and again with these amazing businessmen in charge.
