RuffRob Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 At a time when nobody could really blame him for jumping ship and pushing to go to a team in or challenging for CL football, he has shown loyalty and good respect to the club. Him signing back up is a great 'positive', when the club is in need of any it can get. He will be well paid, but about to go in to the final 12 months, he could have got himself cracking deal. Refreshing to see a player show some faith in the club. Especially after the last window. StevO, Heath and Palfy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is already out asset and this will mean his value has increased, which in turns helps out pnl. If we still owed money on the asset it would be under depreciation. But football is a strange business and assets can actually go up. Hafnia and Heath 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hafnia Posted February 23, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Yeah fair play to him. As much as I may critique him as being not as good as others think - he’s shown loyalty here. Heath, Sibdane, Shukes and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Relieved that Everton and Pickford sorted this out before it dragged on any longer. One less distraction to worry about whilst trying to stay out of the relegation zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the opposite to stupid not having a relegation release clause. It would have been less than his value and now we can get good money for him if it does happen, because there won't be any trouble finding a buyer for him.

True, but if we're in a lower league it's easier to be taken advantage of regardless. Mind you, clauses mean nothing anyway really.

Hafnia Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 “Since signing him in 2017, our Chairman has built a strong relationship with Jordan and his representatives and this played a big and important part in us getting this new contract agreed. I’m sure that every Evertonian will be delighted to hear this news and excited to know that Jordan remains an integral part of our plan to move Everton forward.” this is from Thelwell….. Ffs this has pissed me off. Clear as day what it’s designed to do. Fuck off! Just fuck off! propaganda bollocks and the DOF part of it now is he?

Making out Pickford has signed in part due to his relationship with Bill? What bollocks. money talks and he’s got a young family settled in the area and he’s guaranteed to play. all of this is moot.

If this isn’t on the wall in the PR office I’d be shocked. Ever notice when players or manager are interviewed at Finch Farm in the media room there is a big quote from Bill on the wall about Evertonians loving a local lad in the blue shirt?

What sickens me is we have seen the playbook for all its deviousness in recent weeks. Many of us suspected it for a long time, now it’s clear as day. these idiots are running a football club in the biggest league in the world. It has more viewing figures than the NFL and will likely one day generate the same income if not for buffoons like our bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not lost on me the stoney silence from many quarters now. Historically the protests and criticism would be met with nauseating sycophantic support for our wonderful charitable board. it’s actually a damn shame, for bill and the club. Both would have been in a better place now and likely more healthy and happier if they parted when initial discontent took place. it’s likely he will leave one way or another and as much as his tenure has pissed me off, he’s still a human and is likely delusional.

Zuckerberg came out and said he got it wrong (predicted user growth) last year but you don't often see it - hardly any CEO of a F500 company is going to say "I/We fucked up...at least publicly" the difference though is they likely be held accountable by the board and replaced. so yes the board are shite, in cahoots with each other and unable to hold them/others accountable...but don't be surprised that they are waxing the positive and burying the negative...that's just business.
