    Sorry, Boston.

    It'll take too long. I think Steve should be able to step in and adjudicate.
    I'm personally in favour of docking Boston 5 extra points for just calling them Nottingham. I mean, what's that about?

    Boston has previous for this! Obviously just guessing - doesn't know where we're playing or who we're playing. Surely, a 20 point deduction?

    From what I've read of Usmanov, I don't think we were exactly dealing with angels before. Football finance is a murky business. It would be nice to have a mega-rich Everton fan benefactor who could buy the club out but, at the moment, even the vultures aren't interested in picking at our carcass.

    Oh, I dream of such a thing! A couple of tenth places, the occasional foray to the QF of a cup, a big win over someone in the Top 4. Nice and stable. 👍

    I think, realistically, with 777, we can look forward to, at best, midtable mediocrity for time to come...which is better than relegation scraps!
    I mean, that's what we've been for most of the last 30 odd years anyway.
    I just hope there is a plan that involves reigniting the youth set up...I find it very hard to believe we don't develop players good enough for a bottom of the table scrap...and a young manager with a vision...that we, as fans, allow to develop for more than 12-18months.

    If we weren't a cash cow, or rather a potential cash cow, there's no way an investment firm would be looking to buy us, let alone put up with all the shit around the acquisition. These groups, and 777 by its own admission, buy clubs to strip them to the bone and rebuild from scratch, assuming they can continue to load debt onto the club a la Glazers.
    Seeing them asking for extensions to gather the cash because they don't have a positive cash flow isn’t fear mongering, but it sure as hell is scary. The issues at their other projects, like not paying players, isn't fear mongering, but again is extremely concerning. The shiny "crown jewel" quote is nothing more than propaganda that any sane person representing an interested party would say and it may well be true, until the next opportunity presents itself.
    It's not a matter of fear mongering, it is a matter of seeing the warning signs and being wary. They will be hard pressed to not improve us but the cost to the club is going to be high and I don't mean monetarily.
    "777 Partners have been sued by multiple organizations for unpaid debts and contract breaches with lawsuits describing their financial practices as a "house of cards"[28][29][30] and a "sprawling fraudulent enterprise".[31][32]"
    Just fills ya with hope, dunnit

    I have no interest in catching @Boston Toffee. I just want to stay ahead of you, @Palfy.

    Does it in someway go to prove that they are targeting civilians, or just kill anything that moves in the hope that they maybe Hamas fighters. 
    I don’t rightly know and don’t suppose we will ever know what the truth is behind this continuing senseless killing, but what I do know is them children stood there talking should not be subjected to witness such slaughter at their age and in their lives ever. 
    And sadly there stands before us the terrorist or freedom fighters of the future, because they will grow up with a hatred for is Israel and Jews, cemented in their hearts by the Israelis themselves, this is why peace will never happen when people so young have to bear witness to such atrocities, it just fuels the hatred for the next generations.
