I will find you and consensually bum you
So then blues, with the potential departure of the league's top goal scorer it felt like the right time to discuss the progress of 'Project Everton.'
With the arrival of our new benevolent, Iranian overlord hopes were high that we would begin to fulfil out potential and become a force within English and European football again. So far results have been mixed so let's review the facts.
Pros:
We can spend money again - transfer targets are no longer restricted to the special bargain basement that Moyes would frequent.
The facelift - Goodison is looking good again (it's been long overdue).
Debts, what debts? - The banks are no longer beating down the door to Kenwright's office demanding we take out a third mortgage on the lawnmower shed.
Bramley Apples - we appear to have a real shot at a world class, waterfront stadium.
Cons.
We can spend money again - with the new TV deals and sales of top footballing talent. Stones gone last summer, Lukaku this summer? Will it be Ross next season? Let's see, but sell to buy doesn't appear to have been jettisoned just yet, instead it's just shifted up a gear.
The facelift - as nice as it is, the upgrade is obviously cosmetic and serves to underline how far we have fallen due to underinvestment down the years. There is a hell of a lot riding on a successful ground move.
Oh those debts... - we have to pay that loan back to Moshiri at some point. Billionaires don't give out free money like that these days.
Kings Dock Bramley Apples - let's face it, we have previous in this area.
So in amongst the fake ITKs, the rumours, positivity, dejection and Jim White, where exactly are we up to in this brave new era? I won't lie, I'm confused. The vibes from the club are telling me that things are on the up as the Goodison propaganda machine is kickstarted in Elstone's office. Reality though is continuing to smack us in the face as only it can when targeting Evertonians.
Help me make sense of things GOT.
Over to you.
