You do realise that it is thought a goldfish can remember for up to three months rather than three seconds and remember accurately as well, so obviously you are not a goldfish.Heitinga, a supporters' player of the year, was not good value for 6m? I think most of us (those with better memories than goldfish anyhow) would have taken Distin alone over Lescott based on performance after 2009, led alone Heitinga to boot. If you think it's reasonable to expect literally every transfer to succeed brilliantly, then by all means, focus entirely on Bily

Of course it won't be completed like just a blag story again!This will be on the brink of completion just as seasons tickets renewal is announced. Nailed on!
TBF, I only read it somewhere recently and I have no idea how anybody could prove it to be true anyway.I concede that I am not a zoologist
Esk, Have you heard anything about a South African consortium offering to build a new stadium at WHP,and renting it back to EFC ? If true I can't see where they would receive a return on their investment,they would maybe have naming rights,what is your views,if correct.Gents please stay on topic. Open a new thread if you wish to discuss Moyes' signing. Thanks.
Are we being taken over or not? 225 pages of hot air by the looks of it.

Cheers.Hi mate, not specifically but there has been a number of "schemes" muted.
I think you are correct in your view. A third party providing a stadium doesn't seem do-able certainly from a developers point of view - I can't see how it would generate sufficient revenue to warrant the investment even if it could attract other tenants as well as Everton.
Re naming rights, I am not convinced they are as valuable as some others think unless you have a benevolent sponsor such as Etihad for example.
Based on all of that (let alone the Council's expectations) I'd be amazed if such a deal came about.
That wouldn't even be Everton anymore. It would be Manchester City in a darker shirt.I doubt most people on here actually want a business-savvy owner, or a profitable club, if they stop to think about it. For a team like Everton, who are unlikely to ever win the "most knock-off kits on the streets of developing world metropolis du jour" competition, or the lucrative official South Korean paint company sponsorship or exclusive Malaysian crisps deal sweepstakes, the safest way to maximize profit and ensure a sound return on investment would be to spend just enough each year to avoid relegation, and capitalize by selling one or two of our best players each year and watching the TV money roll in - like a slightly more stable West Brom. We obviously don't like to consider this as one of the possible outcomes if Kenwright goes, because we prefer to daydream about an owner with absolutely no business savvy and no interest in profitability who will throw away literally billions without a second thought. Judging by the tone here, we want a climate change despot who will live out our FIFA/Football Manager fantasies and, on principle, spend at least 50 million each window on whoever scored during the most recent Match of the Day.
