    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

    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.

    Not the case, his goals per minutes played far out stripped DCLs, the biggest problem was he wasn’t given a fair crack by Dyche. 
    He has shown what he is capable of, look at his goal against Chelsea the end of last season, control, strength, power, and accuracy, that’s what he can do given the opportunity, he needed a proper run in the team, but the manager couldn’t see that he was overlooked in favour of Maupay, seriously wtf was that all about.

    Not because he’s got the ability to finish his chances which he as proven where ever he has gone.
    There are players who have a natural ability to score no matter where they go and he is in the bracket no matter what the level. 
    You could present the chances he’s had to DCL and Beto and they wouldn’t finish anywhere near his tally, because they don’t possess that ability to be clinical and consistent in front of goal. 
    And I’m sure that in games where we were having 15-20 attempts at goal he would have got 2 a game on average, and just maybe we could have won those games instead of losing them or at best getting a draw. 
    Dyche fucked up by telling him he wasn’t in his plans, the 8 million hasn’t helped us fight the charges related to the 22/23 season, his sale won’t be accounted for until the 23/24 season year end finishes, so of no benefit this season unlike his goals.
    And then next season we have to find the 30 million for Beto, and the 18 million for Chimitti and they definitely aren’t any better, in fact there’s a very good argument that they are a lot worse.

    Great strike.
    Another premature exit from the club. If we couldn't get anything better, why get rid of him? For just 8 million?
    Ditto Gray (8 million) - fast, could shoot, could beat a man.
    Even Iwobi had skill.
    What have we got now? No pace, no skill, no shooting boots, no clue.
    Not looking back and thinking these players were any more than bang average, but they are better than what we have.
