Could an ideal scenario be MSP taking control until Textor can take over? 
I like the sound of this guy. 

Some of the stories doing the rounds today are a disgrace. 
I heard Natalie Sawyer on TalkSPORT say that every single player is for sale as we need to get as much money in as possible. Where does this crap come from?

Can’t your company buy us, you said the owners don’t like to make money tell them buy Everton and there’s no chance they make money so no tax to pay. 

They don’t like to make profit in the UK, I didn’t say they like to burn millions for no reward.

The only way we would take this deal is if it had a minimal or no fee attached and City covered some of his wages. 
They are stuck with an expensive problem with four years left on his contract. 
They don’t need to bring money in to balance the books, they just want him out of there and in the shop window. 
That’s our best bet of picking him up and comes with no risk. 
 

If it’s full wages being paid and a £6m loan fee then it won’t happen anyway. 
 

The Kalvin Phillips who played for Leeds is an upgrade on what we’ve had from Onana this season, getting the player here and to that level again is the difficult part.

I'm a bit disappointed they haven't done anything special for our last season at Goodison.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they do for the last game. And charge £250 for a replica.

I get what you mean but we saw Besic marshall Messi...

How long has Besic got left on that 17 year contract Roberto sorted for him? 
Is he still walking around Alderley Edge on match days? 

We need minimal risk and some form of consistency around the squad. I have absolutely no issue with Young getting a one year deal. Players of his experience can be a massive influence on the dressing room too. While we have got another year of uncertainty ahead, I agree with Dyche on keeping him around. 
 

I’ll also throw in; he’s doing a lot of media at the moment and is covering the euros. We need some positivity out there about the club. He just might help that.

Now that Leeds are consigned to another season in the Championship, what about going after Archie Gray?

Would have to sell Patterson if we were going for Gray in my opinion. 

I think he would be a good player for us, especially under Dyche. At Leeds he had a great work rate. I’d rather him on loan than Josh Brownhill on a free (that one seems to have gone quiet now though).

We can’t be offering 5 year deals to anybody we have to get away from that madness 

Why is it madness to offer it to DCL?

The most TT post of the year in my opinion.

Pretty sure you can treat the leather. Maybe ask a cobblers?

You can, Vaseline will do it and then a good old fashioned coat of dubbin. But I’ll never wear them so they can live forever on a shelf next to the pair I wore at Goodison Park. Never to kick a ball again.

when I was a kid my first football boots that had a logo were Umbro, I remember playing my first game in them for Walcott boys club I thought I was the dogs bollocks

I had a pair of Umbro Speciali when I was a teenager. Obviously grew out of them. When I was in my 20s I found a pair online in my size and bought them. They are still in the garage now, but the once lovely soft leather is now very dry. Can’t throw them away though, and I’ll never be able to wear them again. Guess I’m sentimental. 

He’s little hassle, not a lot of money, and an experienced and well respected pro. 
We are short on bodies in the squad, he covers four positions. 
It’s a no brainier to give him another year, could possibly be on a lower wage. But it’s low risk, and we need as little risk as we can get right now.
