Slightly off topic but why didn't we give testimonials to Jagielka and Baines?

Testimonials tend to work better with a crowd

Penno plays, we riot.

Based on the proposal by the red clubs, and if these players are going to be paid by EFC no matter what, would it be good PR to loan these types of players out for free to Div1 or Div2 clubs?

We could start another team from scratch, the Everton Rejects.
I’d be right behind that idea.

It was just a way to use a pre-season game as a chance to raise some money for charity, and people lost their arses over it for some reason

It used to be a way to send a player off with a bit of dosh in his pocket but that is hardly needed now. I suspect we don't see as many charity orientated testimonials these days because clubs go on these stupid lucrative tours and it leaves less time in the schedule.

People still think he’s boss because he scored against Liverpool before being turned into Spaghetti when they scored 3 minutes later

Says a lot about our youth system and player development. Disgrace that a player can get to the age of 26 still stuck on a massively long contract without anybody acknowledging he wasn't good enough to make the leap. The player has lost years of his career and Everton have lost millions in potential sale value. If they aren't knocking at the door of the 1st team by age 20 they need to be OUT.

He did but for me that saved him been subbed the 1st 20mins as i thought he was that bad, he was just as bad for the next 40 or so after it he played

Thought he was going to be released but then someone gave him a new contract.

Players ain’t going to make it they still struggle to get into the first team squad by 21/22.
