WHY EVERTON DODGED A BULLET WHEN WE MISSED OUT ON THE ABU DHABI GROUP

I look at it two ways.

1. I would love to have Sheiks financial backing to upgrade the club and compete for trophies.

2. I would hate to see our club inundated with mercenaries that could give a crap about the kit they are wearing.

I certainly wouldn't say we dodged a bullet, but how many of the City players would say that they really care for the club?

I couldn't care less what players think, they're there to win. After Wayne got off I'm surprised there's still a blue left who believes all that 'I really get it' codswallop from players.

Interesting words by Arsne Wenger today in terms of compeating with money:

"I believe the values we defend are highly defendable," said Wenger.

"We want to do things with class and be very brave. Courage is a quality I admire, because it is highly needed in the modern world.

"I can see a lot of fear and discontent among you - and I can understand that because we live in a world where we fight with people who have extremely high resources.

"We can compete by trying to be intelligent and to be united, because football is very difficult to be consistent and we have been more consistent than anybody in the world in the last 15 years.

"To stay at the top, top level we have to stay united.

"That does not mean I am not to be criticised, or the board - we accept that, but we have to show to the outside we are united. If you are not, then you have no chance."

This is the difference between a team and a club. Not surprised which one you'd rather have.
