2023/24 Andre Gomes

[Buckers]

I think he had some decent moments. Injury didn’t help but a silky footballer when he was at his best. Seems a decent bloke too. Good luck to him, shame it didn’t work out, probably was never going to but hey ho. Just too slow.

Andre Gomes:

Annual Amortisation: 4.7 mill.

Annual wage: 5.8 mill.

Total Annual Cost: 10.5 mill

Final year of his contract so his book price is 4.7 mill, if we get 5 mill it’s 300k profit, but we save ourselves, 5.8 mill on wages for the year, overall we save/make 6.1 mill selling him for 5mill.

Tbh if they give us £500 then I will be happy, he is one we need to just get off the books in terms of wages, he will never play in a Dyche team either as he wants too much time on the ball.

He’s the last of the really big wages not contributing mate (maybe Dele).

 

[Brownie]

How would that 5m work for us value wise mate? What would we have left to pay on the books kf he just sat off for the last year of his contract?

So it's £5m BUT:

Tax, -£400k
TeamTalk as source, -£1.4m
Selling to Turkey, -£6.8m
Bill Kenwright, -£156m

If my sums are right we are paying Fenerbahce £159.6 million to accept this player.

 

[Sharpattack]

Rubbish, lightweight player. Another in a long line of wasters signed by this club. Good riddance.

Just looking there. There’s only Godfrey, Doucoure Branthwaite and Gomes left from the Brands era. There’s four from the Walsh era.

Mad when you think of the fees and wages we’ve paid,

Godfrey, Doucoure, and Keane are all still on a decent wage and need moving on especially Godfrey/Keane.

Thats quite mad.

I don't think it's that uncommon, these days. What is uncommon is the number of players that left on a free, or close enough, during that spell.

That doesn't happen at most 'big' clubs. They churn and burn, sure, but most of them cut losses quickly and dump the proceeds into finding players that either contribute or that they can sell on at a profit. United has been better at riding assets to their nadir than we have, and our relative table positions in recent years say something about just how powerful revenue is under present regulations.

What do you put our inability to churn and burn down to mate?

Overpaying on wages. We brought in mercenaries for sale to the highest bidder, and sold them on the club with wages. Small wonder when they downed tools, and refused to leave when their agents told them it's not in their financial interest.

Works OK in the business world, which is probably why Moshiri signed off on the plan, but not in a world with ironclad contracts.

Holy moly! Nearly £6m a year?!!! World’s gone mad I tell thee!

 

[tsubaki]

Good luck to him, Istanbul is a great place and he'll tear up that league.

In years to come players will look back at Everton from 2016 - 2023 and not believe some players had it so good. Literally had lads on 110 and 120k a week just sitting around or of somewhere sunny on loan.

 

[witchdoc187]

What does that say mate

It says 5m Turkish lira is about £150k

We really were the definition of a company run by the clueless descendants of the founders. It's like we handed Edward II the reins of the club. Which is weird, given that Moshiri amassed a fortune on his own.

I don't think he's an idiot so much as that he was out of his depth, had too much ego to realize it and was poorly advised. I can't even hang all of the whole thing on Kenwright. It's like Moshiri got rich without ever reading Machiavelli's take on 'yes' men through good fortune, then squandered a good chunk of the proceeds learning a painful lesson. Now he wants out, which is what a sensible human being would do after shedding the blood he left on the floor.
