Everton Transfer Thread 2016

[roydo]

When the transfer thread goes all loopy nuts, I always remember a passage in Fergies 1st biography, when he had been promised by Gazza that, in his own words, "Dont worry Mt Ferguson, enjoy your holiday, I will be a United player next season"

2 weeks later, while on holiday in Malta, Fergie was phoned by Martin Edwards saying Gazza had signed for Spurs.

I personally believe the money is there, Evertons reputation has just taken a Hammering over the past 2 seasons under Martinez, not only the successive 11th placed finishes, but also the media promoting our top stars such as Lukaku and Stones wanting to leave for a "big club."

Its going to take a year or so to regain some recognition around europe, a top 7 finish is a must this season.

...I agree but the 'buying for the sake of buying' becomes more likely the nearer the window closure comes (if out targets aren't realised). Fascinating few weeks that I'm sure will inform our season.

It's going to be ace when we see some world class players holding up the scarf on the hallowed turf

or are we just football fans for a reason and not in a negotiating capacity for a premier league club. You honestly think the people in charge haven't got multiple of backup options and haven't considered this possibility?

If the people involved are Robert Elstone etc then no probably not.

Robert Elstone isn't involved.

There's a director of football who is actively involved.

Elstone is no where near any player stuff.

Why's he still in his role? And what the heck does he do then? Just curious.

He's a chief executive officer, he runs the day to day of the club

I saw him come out of the tunnel today,then scurried back downlol

... and even then he's got Moshiri's man and non-exec directors incoming looking over his shoulder on those things now.

No idea.

At a guess, his retention was a sop to Bill/chance to see what he brings to the party.

If the answer is "Not much", then adios.

Yea I know that's his role but it seems he's not like a normal chief exec.

The chief exec where I work call the shots, they are involved in the top negotiations/discussions at the very highest level.

I find it hard to think Everton's chief exec has no authority. Why keep him in the role then?

Yep, he's actually got someone to answer to rather then feeding Billy a load of bull and plodding along like a manager of aldi, the useless blurt

Well, after a change of ownership, new owners would be a bit daft to lob everyone over board. Even if he is useless, he will nevertheless know more about the ins and outs of the club than any of Moshiris lads.

Once that is exhausted, I would expect a change. Unless he proves himself as competent. Which I am led to believe, is unlikely.

He'll be involved in everything, player trading negotiations will be down to Walsh now; in all honesty he's had free ride with kenWright and struck some awful deals like kitbag and Chang. ...that's elstone for you.

As a ceo he's had some major failures, it's bizzare that he kept his position, but he has someone who will more ruthless looking down now
