  1. Naming rights etc. will all go towards steadying the ship at EFC… the stadium is useless tenantless… unless they have some other tenants lined up…
  2. This is why the stadium is a game changer for us… we just need to get there. The stadium brings so much more money - naming rights, bigger/ sponsors, other no footballing event income, much more matchday income. All this, as long as we’re not reckless the other way e.g offering too many players huge contracts, brings down those percentages. The loss of MSP and Megafon has had a massive negative impact on our finances.
  3. Credit (reluctantly) where it’s due (reluctantly)… not many teams are doing that at St Jame’s Park - even with 11 on.
  4. Maybe not currently but you’d hope they’d be some coming in before Friday 11pm.
  5. I think we’ll bring another 3 in after Beto - using the 2 remaining loan spots and the Gray money. There’ll definitely be more outgoings too.
  6. We’re not paying until the next financial year - maybe this is why deals have taken so long. Hopefully gives us the wriggle room for more deals.
  7. La Liga isn’t low level whoever you’re playing for - Malaga were a La Liga team when we signed him (well just relegated I think) and he was one of the top scorers in that season.
  8. I wouldn’t call Barcelona a low level! We signed him (for just over £5m - release clause) on the back of a breakout season for Malaga (?) in La Liga - think it was a relegation clause. Back to Beto - was playing at a much lower level and working at KFC 4 years ago supposedly.
  9. If we don’t get linked with him between now and Friday, I’d be very very surprised. It’d probably be nothing more than lazy journalism but we’re 100% getting linked!
  10. Yep - the potential permanent option (when Gray leaves) surprises me and makes me think we want to keep a domestic loan space free… cough Harry Maguire… cough Eric Dier…
  11. So calm and classy on the ball - big positive from today. Keep him in - he’s the kind of player/age that only needs one good season and people are talking £40-50m. Even if his long term future isn’t here, we need to raise his profile by giving him regular football.
  12. https://x.com/frazfletcher/status/1695521218730865044?s=46&t=hH9MW86Z7OdDqsQukrKMvA
  13. I think we’ll be alright but the threat of a points deduction in October would be a killer - more than -3 would send us down I’d fear.
  14. Not in the Southampton squad for the weekend supposedly - Beto and Adams? Dyche 4-4-2?
  15. Alan Myers has confirmed that this is close…
  16. You do realise that we’re probably not after all of these strikers we’ve been linked to?! £25m - more than what they paid originally and his stock’s gone massively down - probably not accurate but I’d rather not! We need a striker so agents/ the media will make up ‘makes sense’ stories… the Daily Fail are notoriously shite for anything Everton - well anything really. I won’t say chill the fuck out as we’re all disheartened but don’t read every link as gospel as it’ll do no good for you
  17. This is the one they’ll keep us hanging on until deadline day when it will magically disappear… Gnonto was going to take that role but he realised what was happening and just settled back to life at Leeds.
  18. Partly because we can’t shift the shite already here for anything. I get it, he may do okay and we get a fee in Jan/next Summer but we’re so bad at shifting surplus players.
  19. Pretty sure the £2m was a claim made in the Gnonto deal when we were supposedly offering £15m or something - now there’s talk of £40m… basically, it’s all speculation and none of us know the finer details of negotiations and deals/structure.
  20. Quick, get some ‘good news’ out to balance the real news - no one will notice when this doesn’t get done before 1st Sept then we can think of something else in January.
  21. Imagine the response if he said any different.
