Contrast this guy with the toffee TV video posted on the other thread. He’s much more engaging. No pauses mid sentence, lots of hand gestures and changes in vocal pitch for emphasis. 

Well FourFourTwo is a production thats been around for decades (at least since i was in high school so thats about 30 years), so i'd expect it to be very professional as its part of a major media and publishing house.

ToffeeTV is a channel started and run by two Everton fans, thats grown enough for them to leave their jobs and do it for a living from a small studio in Liverpool. And they employ more Evertonians to work for them.

They arent a professional media outfit, so not really fait to compare the two in my opinion.

If you want to compare ToffeeTV then go and watch Falcon Blues TV, View From the Bullens or The Toffee Blues as they are also fan channels. 

Our Hummel shirts are £65 for adults, £50 for kids.

Rangers Castore shirts are £70 for adults, £55 for kids.

But what I really dont like, and some other manufacturers are doing this now, is they sell a replica shirt and a pro shirt. You just know kids will want the pro shirt. A kids pro shirt is £105, if your kid is in adult sizes (so probably just a teenager) the adult pro shirt is £115. The whole idea of selling a pro and a replica is purely to extract more money from the fans. For Hummel, the shirt we buy in the shop is not a replica shirt, its the same shirt the players wear. 

Our Hummel infant kit is £45, Rangers Castore infant kit is £55.

In terms of quality, my Hummel shirts have all been absolutely fine. Same quality as our previous Umbro and Nike shirts, no issues at all. My daughter has had four kits so far (one more wrapped up for Christmas) the first one had a melted Hummel badge (swapped at the shop with no question) and on the current one the button/popper came off and again swapped at the shop (this one had name and number on the back and they just did it straight away). 

I see no issue with quality with Hummel at all.

For balance, Castore sorted the issue the Villa players had with their shirts pretty quickly. Though I expect those players had the "pro" shirt, which I would never pay so much extra to say its a pro shirt anyway, so I dont care.

I really dont care who makes the shirt, as long as they dont take the piss out of the fans and it looks good.

I've never paid more than £60 for one of our shirts, I think I wont be buying any for more than that.

Their pricing is ridiculous.

This is where the club need to negotiate to protect the fans a bit, as well as making a good deal commercially. 

Looking at the Rangers club shop, their gear seems ok. Quite like their home and away kits too. That said, they have a white goalie shirt, thats weird. On the whole i think they look alright.

Didnt like that their kids shirts are about the same price as our adults.

Lots of Evertonians voting for Richard Masters!

 

Looking at the replies I think Masters has got safely in the bag. 

I’ve been critical of him, thought he was shite to be honest, but it seems like we have a manager who can improve players. Always liked how Myko carried himself and his work ethic, never in doubt, but to add so much quality in what seems a very short space of time is fantastic. Has to play every game now. 
 

The left hand side with Myko, Branthwaite and McNeil is very very solid and showing a bit of creativity too.

Not cast aside, merely returned to Tottenham F.C. his club.

You do know he isn’t a Spurs player right? He doesn’t have a contract with them. Everton is his club. 

Another one!!

Yeah, the biggest thing I'm worried about is the security of doing it on there, especially with any financial info. 

 

It’s no more or less safe than any other online platform. If you want extra security use a credit card.

I've been wanting to buy a kit for the longest time but haven't been able to. Fanatics here in the states has them but it's only the 2022/23 kit. I know the club has the Everton Direct site but I was curious as to how reliable that is, especially for someone like myself that would be ordering it from overseas. 

The Everton Direct site is just fanatics anyway. 
Me and my mate both ordered the third shirt a couple of weeks back in the sale. He got his a day before me, and he’s in Romania. So you might have a good chance over there. 
 

I also ordered the away kit for my daughter, that’s still not turned up (almost three weeks now).

Matt Hughes with decent news?! What is going on?!

Oh fuck!! We know he always makes this shit up. Now I’m more concerned than ever. £100m each it is. 

Great to see him getting more of these things done. He’s clearly off the leash now he doesn’t have anyone keeping him away from social media. 
He’s the face of the revolution! 
 

Coleman will take his place soon enough. 

All I want to see, the only thing, is everyone staying behind for an hour every day doing finishing. Please!!!

Andy Dunn being nice about Everton.

Take the initiative and change it yourself.

We run this place together. Wouldn’t want to upset Matt (like he does to us). 

I have a massive problem with the stadium thread name. 
I have an even bigger problem with Matt for not letting us change it.

Might find this in the official content thread in the new stadium section too.
Great to see them using a local company.

They did both offer to speak at the hearing, but the Iranian cunt who is responsible for all the woes of this club for the past 7 years refused their offer and once again fucked up by going solo to the hearing, and by all accounts made an absolute twat of himself due to his lack of knowledge, so they ripped him a new arsehole and gave us 10 point deduction more because of our Mickey Mouse approach I suspect. 

By one account, not by all accounts. 
Most reports are that they refused to give evidence.
One not very well respected website says DBB offered. 
Add to that it’s very public who the law firm was that represented the club, so I think it’s pretty safe to say Moshiri didn’t represent the club. He may have given evidence though. 

It says Keith Wyness. Not Dominic Ingles. Why would Wyness give evidence when he left the club about 15 years ago?
Reports last week suggested the previous board members were asked to give evidence but refused last week. 
 

We also know the club were represented by a legal firm with lots of sports experience, I think we can find details further back in this thread. 

I’m not sure I believe Football Insider on this one.

I'm amazed none of you have commented on this at all.

It's also amazing that the PL moved the goalposts after we'd been charged in the February by changing rules for sanctioning in the August.

This whole thing thing stinks and it really is looking more and more likely that they only want to do us as an example and then nothing more.

For me this will hopefully be a key part of the appeal. 
Id also be trying to have the claims other club make deferred until our appeal has completed. 
The whole “broke the rules take the punishment” thing I agree with. But a punishment needs to be laid out with the rules, so this stuff stinks. 
 

I don’t see how the decision has been appealed against but the same people can then go and make a decision on compensation based on an ongoing issue.
