In a world were money seems to dictate pretty much everything, how much do we realistically need to challenge the top four ?
Also what are your thoughts on the type of consortium/shiek Everton would need to make things happen ?

Do we want Mike Ashley who has money but wont spend it ?
Do we want Gold/Sullivan who spend money, but seem to spend it on average players and a donkey (we all know who the donkey is) ?
Maybe some are desperate to see silverware at Goodison more than others and would sell their soul to a shiek who will spend £500m on players in a couple of windows ?
Do we stick with a Bill Kenwright board who will only spend what money we have available without damaging the financial position of the club ? (save the kenwright debate for another thread)

Also consider factors such as current debt, how much will a new stadium cost, improving the academy facilities and potential merchandising routes.

Finally if we have a knight in a shining royal blue chang shirt, what order would you do the above ?
Do we build a world class stadium to attract players first, or do we build a team first to get bums on seats to then move to a stadium in the future ?

Just a general question to all the blues on GOT, if Roberto has a dream then we can all dream too......
 

I Just cant help but wonder what our transfer kitty would have been had Richard Scudamore (not Everton or Bill Kenwright) not negotiated such a massive TV deal, the 'success' of last season was based on the old TV money deal, using a budget stratagy based on that revenue stream, Each club has now been given an extra £32 million pound each and that is roughly what we have spent and based of the structure of the Lukaku deal we are only paying £9 million per year so next years £9 million could come out of next years TV money.

Where is all the money from Roberto's transfer dealings in the last 12 months? what money would have been set aside as a transfer budget without the TV deal?
 
Thats a good point Ian, i honestly dread what the answer could of been, i dont mind money being put back in the club towards debt as long as there is some consideration to the players on the pitch, in a world dictated by money i feel that finding the balance between business behind the scenes and players who are on the pitch to be more difficult than any of us could imagine.

I must confess, I hadn't noticed these qualities.
 
Ijjy there are alot of people who would happily do the same as you state, to be fair to city they got lucky and already had the stadium in place, people also forget that city are actually trying to build a state of the art complex for thier academy. They bought players first then infrastructure second, i do agree we will probably do it in a style were we can find the right balance, bring in a few good players but also look to the future via the academy and stadium builds.
 

Is there anybody on GOT that could give us a insight as to how the likes of Bayern Munich work ? I think they have cheap season tickets but a huge stadium. The problem we have In the BPL is that someone will happily pay for a stadium but then maximise profits in a short space of time as possible, another words do you spend lets say £500m on a stadium with 50k capacity and charge £1000 a season ticket, or do you build the same stadium and charge £500 a season ticket, giving you a steady income over a period of time ?

If it happened to us, then the stadium would be first.

But imagine the first transfer window.

'Everton swoop for £100m... (insert literally whatever player you always dreamed of playing for us)...'

It would be immense.
 
I'd take a new rich owner, but it'd be much more satisfying to be in a position of having a 15 to 20 million net spend on players every season for the next 4 or 5 years, throw in youngsters coming through and win stuff that way.
 
I think woolly has the same idea i have, also taking Ijjy point into account i think most blues dream would be to have a home grown Ross Barkley lifting the premier league title with a Lionel Messi-esque vice captain standing next to him amongst 50-80k screaming Evertonians tanked up on chang beer surrounded by the walk of fame adorned onto the infrastructure of the stadium. To make it even better it would be live on BT sport were all them red biased tossers have to commentate on it and act like they are delighted a new dog has entered the frame to break up the top 4 monopoly. Im sure a man such as roberto who 'gets it' would have invited the likes of Tim Cahill and Kevin Campbell to witness our time of triumph whilst not forgetting those who stuck with us through the dark days. Now Jesus that is one hell of a dream !
 
I dont think having money is just about buying players , its about competing on the wage front and keeping your best players.
If you have to sell your better players to richer clubs then how can you progress ?
Look at us or southampton or west ham over the past decade or so for eg. If they had more money for better wages so there players didnt look elswhere they could have kept some great talent and competed better.
Keeping the likes of stones coleman and barkley while signing lukaku and barry from so called richer clubs is really a massive massive massive thing. Not rich but clearly rich enough at this present time to compete imo
