Getting a club making money is not what he does. Getting Mike Ashley making money is what he does. Newcastle's commercial revenue was 27.6M when he took over in 2007 and had only increased to £29.1M by 2020 when he sold up 13 years later. That's an absolutely pitiful performance for such a big...

A really hard 'popping' sound when pronouncing a hard P on a microphone. One of those things you sometimes don't notice until you do....then it becomes really annoying. Probably not the biggest concern around 777 Partners if I'm honest.

I thought the fella on the right was way more annoying. Clicking his knuckles and having no awareness of sibilance and hard p pops when on mic.

Haven't you heard? All we have to do is sell or get rid of the bad players and replace them with all those really good young PL level players that you see going for cheap all around the place. It's really easy apparently and no other club has though of it. Regardless though Dyche has said no...

No they haven't. There's been a vote for the PL to go and work on something to bring back to the clubs who will then vote on it. There have been no spending cap rules introduced today whatsoever.

There's been a vote to say the PL should go away and come up with some new proposals for their summer homework. Think it's a bit soon to be arguing what it is and isn't until new proposals are formally, y'know, proposed and then ultimately voted on.

What's the source on these rumoured possible moves? He's certainly preferred the experience of Young over Patterson but has also ultimately preferred Branthwaite over Keane so it's in the balance seemingly. Thelwell has stated that keeping Conor Coady or giving Yerry Mina another year were...

Has done extremely well given the circumstances and resources available. Take 8 points off their total and there are very few clubs anywhere near their pre-season targets. No issue whatsoever with him being given the chance to improve things if things get better at boardroom level. I'm not...

Think I'd lean more towards a decent 10 as @Hinchcliffe's Corner said or even a good attacking 8. The amount of times decent transitions break down due to poor choices down the middle seems very high. Onana especially as well as Doucoure. And even though Gueye has scored a couple lately he's...

Don't think he's stunk the place out as consistently as some have argued but I'd hope in the coming summer there's better options found than giving him a new deal.

Lower mid-table would have been a very solid achievement. Not 'great' but definitely a job well done. Lower mid-table with 8 points deducted is a job very well done. I'd hesitate to say 'great' but still very well done. If those higher up the power structure were as solidly competent we'd be...

Given the ownership malaise at the club and the absolute cesspit that is the clubs accounts what would be your ambitious plans?

Of the alternatives who has been consistently available and performed consistently well when called upon? To my mind neither Coleman nor Patterson falls into those categories. Godfrey did alright on Wednesday but again I'm not of the opinion that he's been notably better than others over the...

Having a brief look at his transfers there's definitely some that fall into that category and some even older. But there's also younger ones that Burnley sold on for healthy profit so much like your statement that Ashley Young starts EVERY game it appears to be a not entirely accurate...

How experienced? Is Ashley Young at 38 years of age a standard example? I don't think buying players in their mid 20s is too outrageous but they'd count as EXPERIENCED as well wouldn't they? As for starting 'every game'.... RS (W) - Didn't Start Forest (W) - Started Chelsea (L) - Started...

The early 90's were coming off the back of the most (or one of the most) succesful periods in the clubs history with the achievements of that period still fresh in the memory and with the club still one of the bona-fide elite of English football, albeit a quickly fading status. Of course those...

If you believe Dyche is currently the biggest barrier to Everton being an exciting team challenging the upper echelons of the Premier League then you need to dig a bit deeper into the absolute mess that is Everton Football Club.

Young didn't start the last game.

Very possibly, but not definitely. I don't think there's a demonstrable overall preference for players well past 30 in his past transfer record. The odd stop-gap here and there which is to be expected on a very tight budget or when players are sold with little time to replace but not a...
