Who was Robaldo sold too mate ?

Rogain FC snatched him for McDonald’s gift card and 2 ciggys

Desperately hope we can flush some of our garbage down the toilet in this window.

...but you’ve been saying we’re sell to buy for years.

I do agree, it does appear to be a strategy now but that is more of a Walsh legacy than a hand-to-mouth financial existence. The squad is full of expensive waste that needs to be shifted and that will take time.

Spot on. 38 senior players, of which about 30 are absolute tripe.

Is right. Bin off the dead wood this window and re-build in the summer.

Madrid sold Robaldo, Barca sold Neymar etc. EVERY club/business needs to generate funds and keep a wage bill manageable. How some don’t grasp this on here baffles me.

I do. But they are the ones who do it the least really.

- According to This is Futball website, Everton are interested in Liverpool’s 29 year old forward, Daniel Sturridge.

Live scenes from his medical at FF:

Wait, never mind. I made a love child between Ronaldo and Robinho.

Are you really so bloody dense?


In 2017 Everton spent £104.6m on wages, in 2018 it was £145m.

There is a cap of increasing wages by £7m per season.

This can be exceeded though by increasing income from player sales, match day revenue and commercial income increases.


Our match day income is pitiful so that won't help. Commercial income, we got USM to sponsorship Finch Farm which allowed the purchasing of players and £40m increase in the wage bill. Other commerical & sponroship income will be hard to get because it is scrutinised and based on fair market stuff.


So we have to get rid of players either on loan or selling them to free up wages in order to make sure we don't break any FFP rules.

Simply staggering with a £180 million turnover to be spending wages of £145 million.

The idiocy of that being practically owned by an Oligarch billionaire's personal accountant.

3 cheers for administration.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Too much loaning. Not enough selling going on.

 

[Yarrgh]

The issue here isn't whether the austerity policy now being undertaken is right or wrong; my point is that we are here because of the actions of one man: Moshiri. And we could never have taken the folly of his idiocy and carried on spending because he was NEVER THE MAN OF SUBSTANCE HE WAS PROJECTED AS.

Brands is here to wield the axe. Make no mistake of that.

I would hope he is wielding a very big axe with some of the absolutely diabolical players sucking a wage out of our club, let alone a lot of mediocre ones also sucking up the club resources.

We'll only know what the Moshiri end-game is once the new stadium is in place and where the real money is coming from, if indeed it is him or his footballing mad associate and boss who just happens to sponsor us.

28 yr olds from b leagues are Zat’s specialist subject on mastermind

Granted I have heard him mentioned before

To old for zat... he likes players from the ABC’s league

 

[Frang]

We have money.
We just can’t buy any players whilst we’ve got absolute wasters clogging up the wage bill.

the mosh money pit is running dry thanks to Everton

I think on paper Koeman and Walsh were a great opportunity. Turned out Walsh was a utter idiot and Koeman gave up

3 of our top 5 biggest earners (Schneiderlin, tosun, Walcott) will deservedly be on the bench or not even in the squad this weekend. Shockingly bad transfer activity from Walsh.
