Ryazantsev: ‘It’s more than a project’

[rochdaleblue]

So refreshing to hear ambition and a clear sense of direction coming from the top of our football club. Hasn't been the case since the moores era.

Ronald obviously mate,he's got to be that Dutch Toffee fella on herelol

That's a tall order.

 

[Pejic300]

Isn't this all exciting?

Certainly more exciting than a ride on Uncle Cyril's handlebars.

 

[Khalekan]

Reading that, it sounds like Roberto was getting sacked this summer whatever happened.

Oh for sure.

And my opinion FWIW is that Roberto knew it from early on and the team picked up on it as well, hence the devil may care 'tude we saw from the Arsenal game onwards.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I like the idea of Bill as a figurehead but with nothing to do with running the club. I mean he's a terrible businessmen outside of the west end but he always does us proud with regards to speeches at the JFT96 memorials and such.

It is indeed very exciting - but I must urge a degree of caution just in case it does all go horribly wrong.

I refuse to get caught up in any premature Jiz fest.

I shall instead sit back and have a nice cuppa and a piece of cake.

Anyone else fancy a slice?

What flavour ?

 

[jinkyali]

The hilarity if BK is still around and we move into a new stadium .

The kopites who all lick his arse whilst we're irrelevant will be calling him big time.....

 

[billytoffee]

What flavour ?

Salted Caramel.

 

[Real_madras]

I know we actually haven't done anything yet. But this really feels big time. If they knew sacking Roberto could cost £10million and still sacked him, then went all out to get Koeman, when there where out of work managers like deBore and Moyes available.

Of course he was.

Making all the right, firm, but in a low key manner, noises - not a Phenomenal in sight

Speaking softly and carrying a big stick, while hinting at the possibility of there being a 'lock up' somewhere containing 'Horses Heads' of various descriptions, should this 'very fair offer' actually be refused...not that it will be...

*looks at Rom, Stones and Peel in expectant manner.

Certainly more exciting than a ride on Uncle Cyril's handlebars.

My Uncle used to call it "DEATHRIDE '85" which was followed by the horrifying sequel "DEATHRIDE '86".

North - west manager concentration part was interesting too ...they really mean business

Mate of mine runs the football centre they used over in Dubai. About 2 weeks before the semi final he was invited over to FF as a "thanks for everything" visit.

He said Roberto was very downbeat for the two days he spent there, and before leaving he said "hope to see you in Dubai with Everton again.....but who knows?" (Shrugs shoulders)

Oh, Southampton were at the Dubai complex 2 months before and Koeman loved it too, I expect another visit next season.

...the re-building effort is clearly a programme of work involving a number of separate projects (manager/DoF appointment; player recruitment; commercial progress; stadium move; governance restructure; share holdings etc).

I think this is why he says it's more than a project.

Well look at it. At the inception of the PL the big five were Everton, Arsenal, Rs, spurs and utd. Maybe villa also. Since then it's just been crippling finances that have kept us from competing at the top level. So now that money isn't the issue what's holding us back? Everton are a massive club regardless of how much Kenwright tried to divest us of that notion.
