*Shakes head* Everton again.

[Harry Squatter]

Their new minority owner has a lower net-worth than John Henry and Mike Ashley. They're acting like he's Sheikh Mansour, ffs.

Anyone would think they have been taken over by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet

[Curly]

There's a thread over at GOT ------ How to determine a 'bigger club'.

 

This was one of the posts

 

I'm right in saying that we actually hold the record with Man U for how many years we've been "Champions of England".... 20 years in total considering we won the league the season before both World Wars broke out

That is fucking ridiculous. Un-fucking-comprehensible lack of any self awareness. Good Lord. I'm...but...what...

[Harry Squatter]

Lazio have won the Cup Winners Cup 17 times by that logic

[Shankly]

Eeverton won the leage thousands of times before football was invented.

The Southampton owner is worth way more.

[jimmycase]

smaller clubs.

[Lycan]

6 million per annum x 3 years = 18 million + 5 million compensation = 23 million spent on their manager alone.

Some blueshite in work harping on about how much money they're going to spend because of Mr moneybags, the fuck? Thought they were some kind of footballing Robin Hood that did things the right way?

[an tha]

Who any good is gonna join them?

 

Agent to quality foreign player: Do you fancy playing/living in Liverpool/Merseyside?

 

Player: Liverpool, you say?

 

Agent: Well the club aren't in The Champions League

 

Player: No CL!....

 

Agent: No European football at all

 

Player: Not overly appealing is it...but there is a certain romanticism about Liverpool - such a famous club, huge worldwide support and i have seen they can have some atmosphere as well, a lot of players who have played there like Suarez for example talk about them glowingly - might not be that bad a move and they seem on the way back up under Klopp.....but i don't know...i fancy London and or Champions league or at least some European football...

 

Agent: Erm it is Everton, not Liverpool.

 

Player: What the fuck...

Fucking hell, Dave Prentice writing in the Echo saying they should now be called the Moshiri Millionaires.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Moshi's Giants. Moshi Monsters more like.

 

A bit like us let's see how much is actually spent after player sales ( hopefully no one we want to lose this year ) Stones wanted off and only big wages will keep him and probably Barkley. Lukaku is off. Stones and Lukaku would probably get them 75m+.

 

Good luck too them, if we get our act in order they will still and probably permanently be in the shade. If you could negotiate your own TV deals a lot of PL teams would be walking financial tightropes instead of spending fortunes.

They're spending big money because they're selling their best players. I don't think they realise that.

 

They've also been linked with Scott Dann to replace Stones. BILLIONAIRES.

[Jack the Sipper]

Ah, bless 'em. I actually find their lack of curiosity about the source of such an outlandish claim quite endearing.

Someone who I very rarely get any info from who has good contacts at Everton claims moshiri is Defo not doing this alone and there is a 2nd billionaire involved and the only club we can't match in England financially is city .

I'm not claiming any ITK nonsense here just passing on what I've heard .

 

 

I have been suspecting this for a while. New stadium. Huge transfer funds. Makes perfect sense to me.

 

 

Like ..wow..

 

 

Only time will tell mate but I'm the same as you I have no reason not to believe this

He's better than Stones.

It's the birth of religion.

[Vincent Vega]

My mate is one of the more sensible blues I've come across even though he despises us. He's pretty sure that Usminov who has a 30% share in Arsenal is going to sell up due to frustration at Kroenke having 62%. He would ideally like to own all of Arsenal, but as that is unlikely to happen he is going to sell his Arsenal shares and join his mate at Moshiri as owner of Everton. Why he wants to own all of Arsenal but is happy to own 51% of Everton with Moshiri having the other 49% hasn't been explained. I think this is quite a widely held belief among a fair few Evertonians.

It's also almost like a massive new TV deal just kicked in, and rather than their sudden cash on the hip all being down to a new owner big pimping it, each team in the division benefitted from greater disposable income overnight. Their supposed £100M will be subject to the hyper-inflation of everyone else in the Premiership being similarly flush. The club will know that as well as anyone, however bombastic their fans are being.

 

In my opinion they've looked to Koeman as much for his calm reaction to a big bite being taken out of Southampton's first team the moment he arrived there, and his knowledge of the European game getting them great value for money via a number of astute signings.

 

Outside of transfer clauses, domestic dealings are going to be potentially ruinous from now on, so having a manager able to skilfully work the foreign markets is a must. It's all going to be about who uses their windfall best, and to be fair he's shown he's not just going to piss money away on 'Premiership proven' white elephants.

 

Good move for them, far better manager than Martinez and has a great standing in the game generally, but I'm not sure it's the sign they all think it is. They'll have to earn their position as everyone else will, off the field and on it, and that fig leaf underdog tag they've hid behind for so long has been well and truly ripped away. Time will tell how their players both current and future react to that.

 

All joking and rivalry aside though, them and any other clubs making it a more competitive division can only be more interesting to watch than it has been for far too long.

The RS are cacking themselves here. I've never seen so many of them discussing Everton.

 

We're at that point at the start of the original Star Wars film as the Star Destroyer passes overhead and you already know the film is going to be utterly boss.

 

Episode 4: A New Hope

Episode 5: The Everton strikes back

Episode 6: Return of the Title

They can't even do puns properly. At least go for "Episode IV: A Blue Hope" rather than just chucking "Everton" in there.

 

Plus, how are they both the rebels and the Empire, the analogy makes no sense, unless they're saying we'll win the title after they strike back.

 

They're Jar Jar Binks and they know it.

[Harry Squatter]

We're really cacking ourselves with a better manager, better stadium, more income, better global appeal and not losing to them since we had a useless gimp in charge.
