define incredible business though? buendia from norwich who did zero when they were last in the prem? leon bailey agreed but there's nothing to say that he's gunna set the world alight. they're losing there talisman and captain in jack grealish, its naive to think that they are moving ahead of us at this stage.
wasn't too long ago when everyone was buzzing about klassen coming to us he was the captain of ajax banging goals in left right centre, sandro ramirez, sigurdsson

Yeah agree so imo let's wait and see if what appears to be good business is actually good business
In regard to disagreement. It's quite well documented that Moshiri has made some decisions which were solely by him - Allardyce, Benitez. It's debatable how much others wanted those individuals, but the onus is on them to vocalise that. Brands has talked about 'changes to managers' causing problems in recruitment and long term strategy and the need for stability.

Spot on here!
It could obviously go the other way and there recruitment is spot on!
But there is no point crying and whinging about what other teams are doing when we genuinely dont know how it will work out! Either could get a Gbamin esq injury, could not fit how the team wants to play, or just something as simple as struggle with Premier League pace and physicality!
They could obviously set the world alite
Only thing we can control is what we do!
I still don't understand?
What is it you think Brands hasn't stood up for himself/made sufficient opposition to Moshiri over?
Allardyce was before Brands was here. Allardyce was the decision of the previous DoF, Steve Walsh.
Benitez? Why is your assumption that Moshiri wanted him and Brands didn't? He ticks every Brands box in terms of profile (Brands appointed Martin Jol/Ronald Koeman/Advocaat a few times) - Brands if on record repeatedly of talking up the benefit of experience in managers and Brands has publicly endorsed Benitez.
When we sign Ben Godfrey or Lucas Digne - who was that?
When we sign Fabian Delph or Josh King - who was that?
When we made daft bids for Zaha, and then sign Iwobi - who was that?
Do we pick and choose who we credit and who we blame? Or do we just accept that every transfer who comes in ultimately got Brands thumbs up?
I would be absolutely astounded, unless there is a sniper involved.
It doesn’t really matter if you lay the blame at Moshiri or Brands’ door. The end result is the same. We are an absolute shambles.

I threw up a little in my mouth looking at that....
I think it does matter.
Accountability is important.
This is why the club made this decision;
Prior to which, we spent a fortune and had this lineup managed by Sam Allardyce;
In my view, Marcel Brands hasn't improved Everton competitively since he's arrived. The next year or two should be crunch time for him - but to be fair, if he left tomorrow he would have at least left the club in better condition than when he arrived.

Would love to be a fly on the wall at that board meeting
“Right Bill, Denise, Marcel and Sarvar, I’m thinking of sacking Marcel, what do yous reckon?”
But they have actually bought before they sold the big name player, that seems so alien to me and Everton. To be fair to Moshiri that doesn't happen much now, but we are in a mess currently transfer wise.

I imagine that if we sold someone for 100m we would be fairly active too.
