It's like Rafa coming has lowered our expectations. Nsno straight out the window. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think fans are happy about it, Pete. I for one would love some splashy incomings. But fans are understanding that this is what we get for all of our horrible spending over the last few years. Rafa has not lowered expectations, you're just a sour-puss stick-in-the-mud. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've gone with miserable fucker but to each their own Pete has a point to a degree, but at the same time Pete, assuming the lying bastard was still here, he would attract names only. We've got no money to buy anyone so, yeah, we probably would've still been bargain shopping. Probably one of the reasons he fucked off, he knew he wasn't going to get the financial backing. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time people are saying our hands are tied financially we're still getting linked with £30m players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 The lack of a proper Everton (not loan) RB to succeed Coleman is a crime that has been committed since the Steve Walsh days. Brands whole entire tenure we have needed to fill that hole, and it looks to be another year without filling. Absolutely criminal. Coleman will get injured, he will miss time, it’s a fact, I love the guy but he’s old and has a lot of miles on that body. dunlopp9987 and Harv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either must not rate Aarons or Norwich priced them out of a move. I thought for sure after the Dumfries deal fell through that we'd go after Aarons.

It's because they all have money. Don't know how many times it needs to be said, but we're trying to balance the books after years of misspending.
