New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[matty1878]

They barely had their foot in the door in January and were busy terminating Dyches contract and getting a contract ready for Moyes
No one knew what was going on or what players were needed
Moshiri apart from the stadium ( which TFG finished ) left us in a mess both financially ,PSR wise and squad wise
TFG had a lot of fires to put out before they looked at investing in the squad
I’m not giving them a pass yet , I’ll hold fire until the summer window is over
I’d expect at least 2 FBs a striker and Rohl /Grealish and George if he works out to be signed permanently
Sales of fringe players as well

this all day

Must admit I wiuld have thought he had more.

The Kopite is on here as a WUM, this boards owners will be happy though as he generates traffic.

I only went back a few months, I wanted to leave him with some dignity...

I’m can only imagine the state of our fans with Newcastle’s owners. There’s no option to spend, spend. There will be a fixed amount we have unless we start selling some of our better players, if that means waiting for the summer for a much better player available than in Jan, I’m fine with that.
We can’t go and buy an average RB in Jan and then expect a better player RB in the summer.

 

[Daytripper]

Europe has to be the short term aim for the next year or two surely? It’s no good putting all hopes on summer transfer windows if we remain mid table for the next two seasons. You have to progress, the better players will have options, we have to be one of those.

Spot on. Some people are still stuck in 2003 where you get new owners and you spend hundreds of millions every window. We are working within a rigged system. PSR and next season SCR mean we need to build gradually

Well maybe they should have dialled down the rhetoric. ‘Unprecedented rebuilds’, ‘fiercely aggressive in our ambitions’, ‘the top table of European football’..

Leads to a few unrealistic expectations.

Europe is there NOW for us.

We're 2 points off 7th and the Euro spots will no doubt go to at least that position. And we've hardly been playing well this season to get that close.

To not invest for the last 42 points available with a FB and CF who can hand us those valuable extra points is false economy. Revenue for qualification and extra games dictated we needed to speculate in the January market.

The owners have to be looked at over this. They stood a great chance of taking us to Europe in one season in charge. They haven't invested when we needed it - and it wouldn't have cost tens of millions. That's concerning.

Out of the 32 transfers made by other clubs In this window the signings are pretty underwhelming barring the man city deals that we wouldn't been able to procure and bournemouth signing a 19 year old prodigy from Brazil with their ample surplus. Im frustrated that we couldn't of found some additional players to bolster the squad especially in the fullback area, but going by what other clubs that didn't have 60 mil id have to reiterate that the window was not chick full of quality look at what palace squandered even with the Mcneil deal scuppered.

No way were they looking hard enough.

This will be a self-inflicted wound if we dont get Europe.

So you expect them to come in Mid December and spend straight away
Don’t forget they sacked Dyche mid Jan ( so they were not giving him any money to spend ) and appointed Moyes who had little or no time to assess the squad plus there was no transfer committee in place
Don’t think it’s fair to include Jan 25 in your calculations

On top of that, PSR wise there probably wasn't much to play with in January. Especially considering the payoff to Dyche.

If they had any ambition in Jan then Europe was within reach with a few signings but prob just happy with us remaining in PL

Wish version of the Glasiers.

Massive summer TFG. We'll know what kind of ambition they have for the club long-term then. They'll either get us back on track or continue running a laughable dysfunctional mess of a club.

I think we can all guess which will happen
