Did I say that? It's no secret things went wrong on the defender front and should have been sorted the moment Chelsea were insistent that Zouma wasn't going but why should he shoulder blame for freak injuries and a striker being wasted on the bench?

It's really not Dave, we spent before we sold Lukaku and spent before we sold Gana, neither of which happened with TV money

The club have been spending TV cash in advamce of getting it for years. Moshiri continued that strategy.

And the Lukaku and Stones sales alone brought in £150M.

We haven't since Moshiri came on board, why would we need to anymore?

'his cash'

made me laugh that one

funny how his wealth has gone up since owning us like

It’s gone down according to Forbes.

Player sales + massive increase in TV revenue. THAT's were the cash came from.

But its not, the clubs official accounts show that Moshiri has given the club interest free loans totalling 250m.

But please, just keep chatting wham about TV money and Lukaku.

He's bought debt and bought his shares = no largesse.

If Brands fails to appoint a top manager when Silva goes he deserves punting based on his general signings/backing of Silva so far.

Massive year for Marcel in my eyes.

Martinez wasn't the issue, the players were.

I always believed that a combination of Tim Howard (who left 3 seasons too late) and the board going after Funes Mori at £6.5m when Van Dijk was Roberto's first choice at £11m.

We ended up getting screwed for £9.5m in the end. Typical Everton of that era. An actual Premier League goalkeeper and Van Dijk/Stones as centre halves and Roberto would still be in charge.

thought that alot myself tbh

the football got stale regardless of the defence too, we had a season of Cleverley/barkley/naismith playing left wing for example

Ah I forgot about Cleverley... i had erased him from memory the little snide!
Imagine a team with Pistone, Cleverley, Simon Davies and DCL in it.
*just tasted sick in mouth!

I think so too. And his first mistake was not allowing Baines to go to United. He then poisoned the well.

Roberto also wanted Andy Robertson! He signed some absolute garbage (the cheap signings) but he did bring in some great players when he had money.

He had money when he spent £16m on Niasse.

He had money when he spent £12m on Funes Mori.
