Enough said...

I would have have been happier if Orville had joined but that bird has already flown....

No he can't

Yes he can!

Yes he can!

...Sorry I will get back in my padded cell and shut up!

Mind the language please.

bollocks isn't blocked, mate...i think it's ok.

Here's my question though: if both Koeman and Walsh were successfully pursued, and the apparently imminent announcement of a dock stadium scheme is in the pipeline, how did the easier task of signing players go west on his watch?

Probably the same issue that united had with Woodward; you could put it down to a learning curve and I'd expect to addressed in the next window.

If it's a shambles then I'd be a bit more concerned

Where do I sign up?

Completely seperate issues aren't they? We were able to throw our money around to take Koeman/Walsh & to secure the BM site (hopefully), and without much competition.

By all accounts we tried to throw our money around to make big name signings but competition is much stronger in player recruitment. I think we underestimated how difficult it would be to sell the club to players.

I think persuading players is largely also about throwing money at it.

literally papering over the cracks..lol

Rings so true, it feels like farce.

Maybe it's a learning curve that Moshiri needs to take on board too?

The only possible logic for Harris to be brought on is his experience of Wembley were he was a Director from 2001 to 2007 during the building of the new stadium.

which was delivered miles over budget and 2 years late iirc

 

[dholliday]

Moshiri seems to have created a board of absolute failures. Brilliant.

What has actually changed?

well, we've got a manager in who's got a domestic cup in a major league to his name and who's best Prem position is 6th.

The cladding!!!

lol lol lol

He also contacted White suggesting he was in charge by stating he made a decision to retain McCarthy and so pulled the plug on Sissoko.

Every time I try to look on the positive with Moshiri I am always brought back to earth with a bump when I remember Jim White and Tweetgate.

I think persuading players is largely also about throwing money at it.

To a point, but obviously there's alot of variables (champions league football, location etc.)

And Financial Fair Play constraints.

Summer recruitment was a botch up, no doubt about it but i'm still convinced of Moshiri's intentions. We are going in the right direction.

some wikipedia joker's already at it:

In October of 2016, Harris was appointed to the board of Everton FC.[10], At time of writing it is unknown if Dr Harris will be accompanyed by the green duck and orange monkey.
