2023/24 Andre Gomes

[Neiler]

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.

Think they partied thinking A another would always be there to top up the bank account mate.

If it was to become a novel I’d call it “The curious life of the Everton bag man”.

It's not just that. Let's be honest. In 2016, it looked like a rising tide would lift all boats. That's how we got mad transfer fees financed by shady companies whose business model depended upon rights fees, and player values, going up at the present rate forever.

If you want my opinion, a lot of football clubs (including us) would have been in for a long night post-COVID if not for the Saudis and others sensing an opportunity to diversify their portfolios by becoming market makers at the bottom of the market.

Farewell Sweet Prince

It's been emotional

Damn you Son Heuyon min

 

[Mrbluenose]

Probably for the best, although more money brought in/saved that will likely be used to keep the club going.

Only chance it gets spent on the playing squad is if it's used for Dele or it's going in the Beto fund.

I think he tried to do some “right” things

- director of football model
- build new ground
- initial managers were supposedly progressive
- invest in players
- keep some Everton people involved

It’s just unfortunate that the people he employed to do most of these things were useless and cost him a fortune

Oh and the war

This is apropos of nothing but Edward II probably had the best, happiest ending of any medieval English king.

Have we got shut of him or are you hoping, a bit premature perhaps.

 

[Sadken]

Him and mina cost fifty million ,add the wages and it's absolute madness, Barca must be laughing.

Hope its true we can get 5 mill just find it hard to believe

Seems like utter bull to me.

None of the sources saying it are good.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Our midfielders are:
Gueye
Onana
Garner
Doucoure
Gomes

That’s it. And we play three in cm every game. We have to keep Gomes because we will be very, very thin on the ground for midfielders.

Mad thing is we weren’t even linked with any

Were linked with Xeka. But i would say 4 is enough for the 2 CM positions. For the Doucoure position an attacking player can come in.

[mikel_88]

same just cant see anything more than a loan

Seems like utter bull to me.

Is a risk and we would have to go out and get one in jan. is on too much money to just sit on the bench if an offer comes in we have to take it.

Agree as you say dacoure could always drop in and even maybe dele. Just have let him go for me

So farewell Andre
as handsome as Dorian Gray
just a pity
You could not play.
