2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Exeter_Gently]

I don't believe he will be sold. Friedkins are on their way and will want to build upon JB in the defence

Not let others profit from us.

I don't think it's cut and dry he goes in the summer myself.

Providing were in the PL next summer we've got a lot to be excited about.

New stadium,New ownership,and a potential influx of better players,as well as a bumper contract,am sure he'll have some food for thought.

Would be his 4th contract in 5 years all deserved too

How do you make our PSR position mate?

We can show an improving position. We've been significantly punished already. We all know the double jeopardy arguments already. See my next reply, below regarding the idea of signings.

I don't believe there will be an "influx" of new players. There will be a steady build over two or three seasons building on what we already have

The idiots on twitter saying we/Friedkin should make "statement signings" are morons and haven't learnt a single thing about how to run a football club

There is the general idea, that you adopt a "two in, two out" principle in relation to the squad

Meaning two go out, and two come in each season. So over 4 seasons that is 8 players or more than 50% of the first XI. You can deviate based on necessity, but the average per year should be two in, two out

We do not need an influx. We need steady and sustainable building in an upward trajectory of corresponding performance

If the youth team is also delivering players, all the better.

 

[ToffeeScot]

I think it's clear to see why we are much better with him in there. Him and Tarkowski complement each others strengths and weaknesses. When one is caught out, the other bails them and vice versa.

I think if you look at the players on loan coupled with players out of contract it leaves us incredibly short come next summer, so your likely to see a fair few come through the door.

The youth set up for me is something that needs drastically overhauling.

Our youth set up for many a year was something you could pretty much lay your hat on,now its producing next to nothing.

Someone mentioned a couple of months back that the academy is the thing that's been hit hardest since we've had to cut our cloth accordingly.

Most of these loan players have options to buy in them, so their acquisition has been budgeted for. I'm talking about the extra revenue and therefore potential spend that Friedkin group bring in in my post above

Like I say, it'll not be a crazy spending or influx of players. There will be a multi year plan of strengthening in my view.

They may bring in three players next summer (outside those we have options to buy on), but I don't expect it to be ridiculous like Moshiri and Koeman/Walsh and Kenwright all doing their own things signing players.

i.e. this time there will be a concerted plan

Branthwaite is central to the plan. Needs to be retained at all costs.

I ask mate as I've heard two wildly conflicting reports one is we need find £50 mill and the other is we have £30 mill scope.

Surely the takeover, in particular the re-payment of the R&M high interest bearing loans, improves our PSR position? Obviously i'm not sure to what degree, and whether we still need further sales to comply. Nevertheless, I expect that will help and the Friedkins will be looking at what else they can do in this financial year to help improve it further i'm sure.

….if he signs a new contract offer then that could be the case. Ultimately, with new owners and less pressure on income, it’ll be down to the player.

Ive no idea to be honest mate, our last set of accounts we posted a £90 mill loss, granted that two years ago now. So many variables go into it to be able to work it out accurately, especially as the financial year runs to June 30th. I guess I'm trying to work out do we have to sell Branthwaite to comply this year and could TFG waive a 180k week contract in his face and say give us five years, your going to be the corner stone of what we are going to do here.

Im not sure on interest payments - isn't that the dispute with the PL in terms of how we account for them for PSR.

and who comes calling… any top 3 side he’s off IMO

….yep, you wonder if United will be an attraction for him and I doubt we’d sell him to RS. Arsenal seem fine at CB, it leaves the likes of City and Chelsea. There’s always teams abroad, of course.

Hopefully he sees his immediate future here for a couple of seasons.

we can only hope we have new ground new owners better players and thomas tuchel

 

[COYBL25]

That's why those who wanted to sell him in the summer for sound financial reasons were wrong.

Mind you, I love the chutzpah of one of our legendary (and very entertaining) posters who wanted him gone in the summer so that the club could reinvest, and who is now telling all and sundry that he knew the return of Branthwaite would, rightly, keep the manager in a job.

Talk about trying to play all sides...

You have to factor in that the poster you’re talking about is borderline clinically insane.

 

[CalBuckeye_Rob]

One of the main goals for new ownership should be to convince Branthwaite that playing in Europe is a realistic result of fresh cash flow from a new stadium. Selling him for £75 million doesn't mean that equal ability talent will end up in the Everton lineup. There are plenty of useless players that require £25 million or more plus a high salary to add to your squad for little benefit to the end results. The best points per match for Everton in the last 4 years has been with Branthwaite starting.
