The Depressing Duo

[Mekias]

Other than paying top dollar to get the manager and backroom staff we have, begin the restructuring of the club (Director of Football etc...), refinancing our debt to enable us to move forward, help provide the basis for a potential waterfront stadium rather than being content with a 'Tesco Express' in Kirkby, helping securing greatly enhanced sponsorship deals like USM Finch Farm and SportPesa (yes I believe he was key to things like this - e.g. buying the Liver Building that now hosts their HQ)... shall I continue?

There is more to making an impact at a football club than breaking a transfer fee record - this isn't Football Manager or FIFA.

I think between the £100 million warchest rumors and people like Esk saying that we could play with the big boys financially, the expectations got too high. There should be no debate that Moshiri has turned things around at Everton. It was never going to be an instantaneous change in on-field results. Moshiri was never going to spend money like Chelsea and City did. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't because of Financial Fair Play rules.

This is a big window for Everton. With Walsh and Koeman working together to analyze the team and form a plan this past year, I have good expectations. Will the adds be enough to offset potential losses of Lukaku and Barkley? It's hard to say but I hope so.

I genuinely can't believe how long Elstone has lasted you would have thought Moshiri wanted his own person in especially after he got rid of Martinez.

Managed to slime his way into his good graces I would assume.

I was expecting it to be about @davek and @GerryandthePaceMerchants lollol

*Love you really @davek

Was literally about to say the same but about @Gob Bluth rather than Gerry.

I consider myself to be pretty happy-go-lucky.

I think we need an ITK otherwise there's a whole lot of uninformed opinion / utter wham being presented as actual facts.

Then I'd consider you to be a bad judge of character sir.

Interesting that you'd have such a good knowledge of him considering your join date........

He's been posting on Twitter for ages. Just because I haven't been on here long doesn't mean I don't have a Twitter account. So well done on jumping to the wrong conclusion Sherlock. Don't give up your day job.

Standard answer. Keep up the act

Thats all ITKs do.

Elstone has this amazing ability to make everything he says come off as incredibly disappointing.
At least Kenwright has a bit of a hopeless romantic about him, not that he should be anywhere near the business dealings of the club.

Kenwright has certainly got loads of hopelessness about him.

 

[windymiller]

Nothing will be the same.

I fully expect a long drawn out window and for us to sign 3 players of Scottish league quality.

Fixed that for you.

Give Bill the important j0b of flogging Niasse round the country to keep him occupied. Best salesman in the world.

He's decent in that direction, tbf. Can't think of too many clubs who've had Blue Bill over when it comes to buying our players. Only the Rooney transfer really.
Actually spending money and getting players in is a different story, granted.
