"Everton can win the Premier League"

[Goat]

The very same figures you laughed at when i told you about them months ago.

The same figures I posted at the time you mean?

You really dont know me do you?

Wow. There should be no business finance issues whatever after this season finishing in the top 6 never mind 4 with CL on top

There should also be no issues with buying players from the coming Summer onwards, at least not for the foreseeable future.

Clearly the odds of it happening are astronomical, but imagine if we were top of the league at 4.55pm on 11th May...

What do we do then? I mean, do we all just top ourselves? Because realistically, it's not like life is going to get much better

I honestly believe the scenes would be better than when Aguero won it for city in the last minute.

Precisely. Yet of course, you know there will be.

As an arl git who remembers the 84/85 success, cant see too many parallels in this year, apart from an injection of determination and a "we won't get beat we're gonna win this" attitude. Kendall had been at the club as manager since '81 and by the time of the league cup match v Coventry losing 1-0 in '83 there were people calling for him to be sacked - then we get out of jail and win 2-1 going on to the final (ok we lost to the s...e) - even more famous was the Kevin Brock backpass to Heath after we had gone 1-0 behind. We won the replay 4-1 and of course won the cup. Thus was the confidence cemented in the team and the rest is history. I think that we can win the FA cup next year but I would be amazed if we won the Premier in RM's first season. Champions league should be our ambition but we need lady luck to shine on us given the size of our squad and the amount of money we have in comparison to our nearest competitors. However I can say that I am loving going to the match this season - and the times I felt like this have been a bit infrequent since the 80's success Viva Roberto!!

We are doing just fine. We're two points off top, ffs! When was the last time Everton were within 2 points (or less) of first, heading into xmas eve?

Im just saying, as response to making our draws into wins. I agree we are awesome, but 1 player of that type and i would believe we would win the pr.league this year.

Liverpool have a World Class player in Suarez and City in Aguero....we have potential in Barkley...and borrowed potential in Lukaku.

We have something the others don't have....togetherness and a lower level of expectation amongst non- (albeit we have high expectations). On top of that we have Roberto Martinez. Something very exciting could happen.

We have players of that type.

 

[Big Doug]

based on those finances we should have the funds available for a £15-20 mil striker should we get 4th even possibly 5th depending on how much we have left of the felli money to spend on the rest of the squad

 

[Dell Boy]

Just listened to Martinez on Sky Sports News.

What a man. What a guy. [Poor language removed] me he talks a good game but unlike say Rodgers or Redknapp he doesn't sound like a total helmet when he speaks.

In his own words "this team's potential has not been reached" when asked if we've over-achieved to date. Our Bobby's not into setting targets. He just wants to play sweet baby togger and stand back and smile.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Those figures are unbelievable.

And didn't the Overseas rights (OTV) go up by even MORE than 100% in the end?

Maybe we could clear our debt completely. Would be nice using all the mone we earn at the club instead of paying interesr

 

[Goat]

What you must take into account is our terrible matchday revenue, our utterly terrible commercial deals and an ever increasing wage bill, coupled with accounting losses and debts that never seem to go away.

Amazed is not the word. It would be arguably the greatest footballing accomplishment of the last 20+ years... Certainly in this country, at any rate.

 

[Dell Boy]

Sorry for doing this but every time I think of the possibility of us winning the league this year, I think of this song..!

Kopites would cry about Istanbul because they are ********s. Definitely agree though I can't even imagine what it would be like if we actually did win the league.
