  1. Seen a load of this doing the rounds already. They’ve become overnight self-appointed campaigners on behalf of all of the 92 Member Clubs and are passionately defending their rights to a dream football experiences and much needed sources of income… In the exact same way they passionately care for supporters of Leeds, Southampton and Burnley who operated well within FFP but Everton stayed up to their expense. Truly, The People’s Club.
  2. Seems to have mentally checked out just as the business end kicked in, strange mindset for an elite performer, Ramadan aside. Be keen to read between the lines and see what he wants other than more money, he still has the back end of his prime to dig in to but if he still wants to go to that woeful Saudi league, regardless of who the new coach is, Edwards might field bids and look to move him on. It’s a shame as I think a savvy manager rejigs the front line and gets another great couple of years out of him but it’s likely he’s just sick of all the things he didn’t like in the first place, the weather, the money, the having to share the ball around. At some point Liverpool need to move on from the reliance on him, it does get to him to be fair. Been some player, he’s a real crossroads now - it would be a shame if he’s lost interest just as the final push started.
  3. It’s a shame but they just ran out of steam in the end, some of Klopp’s obvious tactical weaknesses and a few unfortunately timed injuries, did for them. That said, I thought we were finished after last season and he’s turned it around brilliantly, in the main. To go from 5th to comfortable top 4 again and a trophy, exceeded my expectations - I expected a battle for top 4 that we can just nick with a fair wind, like the end of season Middlesbrough game in his first full term - I felt something like coming again. I never expected a title race and like all of us I went along with it until the last week but we really didn’t have enough - as good as the Endo lad has been, City have Rodri, Arsenal have Rice - it’s the absolute foundation and bedrock of the best sides. Of course the obligatory internet/tellyclapper provincial bantz merchants will be having a ball online but to get the Club a Champions League restart is hugely important, for the new fella and financially. He was miles better than expected, Klopp. Gave us some amazing memories and moments and was almost perfect. He changed the club from a museum - that mad season under Rodgers aside - to pure excitement with a good dose of excellence thrown in. He had his faults off the ball and in defence of course but I’ll always be truly grateful. I’m 46 and those five years of 2016-2021 will be the best football I’ll ever see and that was because of him.
  4. Forest are minty, their away crew as bad as any smalltime provincial gobshites as there’s been at our place for a long time. Wouldn’t mind a look at Gibbs-White though, hell of a player, a true athlete.
  5. Appealing a 2-point deduction in case you go down instead of other much smaller clubs you’ve already cheated on by spending hundreds of millions more than. Then blame everyone else, act all faux wholesome and innocent. There’s then a thread on boardhost called “Harvey Elliott’s parents”. 40 and 50 year old fellas. He’s about 20. The absolute state of the scruffy cunts, I fucking hate them.
  6. They certainly spend a lot of time posting about a Club, its manager and supporters whom they’re so much better than, don’t they? Mysterious how they spend so much time comforting and reminding themselves of it. Special mention there to “efcman4eva” who is ploughing the boot in to our out of town contingent and how much of a blight they are to the City on match days, comparing Anfield to Disneyland… commercialising football and further making the game it about TV and money. Whilst admitting in other threads that he’s from St Helen’s, doesn’t go the game and hopes for a huge boost in revenue, profile and PR from Bramley Moore, given its iconic location.
  7. 92% wages to turnover. Heysel, Clive Thomas, Collina’s, Moyes, corruption, tourists, VAR and illegal steroids fault. Clearly.
  8. The football Inter played at times when they came here was good as ours, all bar the cutting edge of Salah, Mane and range of Alexander Arnold - it really surprised me. But there just doesn’t seem to be the connection there and you’d probably have to shape it all around what he’d want to make him 100% comfortable.
  9. He’s about 42, isn’t he? Let’s say he manages until he’s around 60, he can have a successful spell at all of the 3 clubs that he’s rumoured to covet - Liverpool, Madrid, Bayern. There’s a good chance we get him first but there’s also a chance he doesn’t last at either Madrid or Bayern, our fella fails and both get a second shot at it together.
  10. Well he isn’t, is he but the field seems to be If not Alonso then him and Amorim. The more I think about it, the more I’d love for them to explore their chances with Ancelotti for 2/3 years.
  11. The wives and birds all probably have a bigger say in these things than we imagine - does she want to come back to northern England again and all that? Klopp was frequently jokingly having a moan about the climate, Salah too. Whichever way it goes, we have to go as elite as possible but if Bayern beat us to him, it’s a very small market and I don’t fancy the Sporting lad at all. De Zerbi is the front runner then, unless they decide to pay Daniel Levy whatever he asks for, for Arl heavy lemon big Ange…
  12. Whose fault is it anyway #7653470… https://members.boardhost.com/everton-forum/msg/1711189440.html
  13. You’d suspect Edwards would want to give Hughes a bigger budget than usual for his first spend, just to cover the odd dud.
  14. There’s a world where Matip & Thiago’s exits are already a given.
  15. I think he fancies a contract elsewhere but doesn’t want to be see to be asking to go, in case it burns his bridges with the crowd.
