Do it Dan!

Hear hear!
If true, it must be Friedkin surely. That would be some statement of intent from the man

If its true and the Friedkins are influencing this - it bodes well mate - priority 1, secure your biggest assets.

Its a combo of will of the player and that ambition mate. But that's were good administration earn their stripes. Other thing is you can flat out just say no here your here until .............if he signs a new deal. Many would say you cant keep an unhappy player - Levy did it with Kane, Fulham did it last year with Paulinha. Brighton did it with Cacedio. It adds +++ pounds.

If nothing else you become an unwilling seller and you should always want to be an unwilling seller.

Its something we will have to overcome if you have genuine ambition and want to progress.

I think we as a club and a fan base have been conditioned into being very passive about it and now have a low threshold for selling our best players - i remember an administration being overturned here partly due to selling Duncan Ferguson.

We have to ask ourselves as a club do we want to act like Palace or Brighton and be a feeder club or do we have actually have a crack at it and act like a top six club. Look at Spurs they dont sell their players to Top 6 clubs anymore.

This
And starting a new era holding on to our better players we can build around would be fantastic

Red Echo saying a late fitness test and maybe starting. Not long til we find out though

I'm hearing he may or not play. Not sure I believe it though

Joyce put that snippet in to his match report v Palace.
Mentioned that we also have an option to extend JB's contract by another year over & above 2027 so any buying club would have to pay handsomely for the privilege if they want to "own" him now or next year or 2026 and possibly even 2027.

Wonder if & when the Friedkins take control they call all the players together and outline their vision for the next 1-3 years?

 

[Nymzee]

Initiate whatever you want, he's still going next Summer.

Did McNeil catch the same thing in his right foot and never got it treated?

McNeil has a right foot???

I didn't realise there was an option to extend, that puts us in a much stronger position .

A new contract with a release clause would be the best way forward. If he wants to leave, the buying club needs to pay £80 million. If they won't then he stays. Saves any arguments.

 

[Tel001]

Mate, outside of footy manager games, release clauses are almost unheard of in this league.

This is Everton we are talking about here mate …

But is that the old Everton, a new one is coming.

Haarland is willing to extend his City contract provided they insert £100m release clause.
Seems quite low to me tbh

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Why do I get the feeling we’ll all be moaning on here about the new contract we gave him in 2024, and how we should have took £60m, in 3 or 4 injury ravaged years?

Once you add the £22 million a year salary you're looking at North of £200 million over 5 years.
