I don't know how reliable he is although think he is linked with ToffeeTV and done a couple of interviews with Martinez, hoped someone else might know.

I tend not to believe much that comes off twitter anyway unless certain journos are saying it. Wouldn't mind if we were keeping him until after the Euros though because that's clearly the most sensible thing to do.

Some people can't take the blue tinted glasses off.
It's similar to the Liverpool fans who go on about 5 times, we've won the league 18 times etc etc.
Preston North End have probably won more trophies than quite a few teams in the premiership but I wouldn't say they are bigger due to that fact.
Years ago, we were the club breaking transfer record's and using our financial strength, swings and roundabouts.

Bill has blue blood in his veins so would be unaffected.
We are a bigger club than Chelsea judged by any yardstick you care to mention save the obvious one.
They are rich and we are poor.
And I don't even know if that is any criteria as Stoke City are richer than us but no on in their right head would say they are a bigger club.
Anyone who was at Wembley in 2009 saw with their own eyes how much bigger we are than them.....we must have outnumbered them two to one.
Put it this way......if some crooked Eastern European asset stripper or Middle Eastern oil potentate came in next Tuesday morning and poured the dough into EFC that Chelsea and Citeh had poured into them we would go back to dwarfing them both....again.
It ain't that long ago we were taking their best players because when the playing field was level we dwarfed Chelsea.
Pat Nevin and Graham Stuart both came here to play on a bigger stage.
Remember that, lids.
We may not have their money but by heck we have more style than they will ever have.

All true
but wouldnr you rather a leon osman in the team rather than a di maria whilst all that happened? lol
If Everton do manage to keep Stones this summer, they should spend the next year shamelessly selling themselves to him. Whatever it takes. It should be like Say Anything, only instead of a boombox, send Bill's theatre company to sing on his lawn.
With the increase and TV money and five players out of contract next summer, they'll have plenty of flexibility to offer him (and a few others) bigger contracts.

Not at all, you don't even know me you tedious gimp.
A Chelsea fan comes on here and tells us we are a small club.
I retort with a factually correct statement and you attack me.
Bore off you over over protective meff, they were nothing out of the ordinary until Abramovich turned up. He can be as happy as he wants and you can crack one off in the joy of it all with him.....but I stand by what I said.

That is quite simply not true though. We've not won a pot since 1995. It's embarassing.
It may be embarrassing but true it most certainly is.

Exactly my point. Rich comes and goes ... nobody takes your titles away from you. Why is our de facto way of describing a club based on the last 2-3 years?
How would saying "can't do much when a richer club comes calling for your players" be less effective than saying bigger?
"Richer" communicates the exact same thing while respecting history and avoiding pointless arguments.

Not winning a trophy since 1995?
I find it embarassing. Especially as we are claiming to be a big club.
Going by history we're a bigger club than Chelsea, but that's all irrelevant, because it's all about the now, and cash is king.
