In reality terms or where i like to focus on the pitch we have only lost two of our last nine games, its hardley the form for mass demonstrations or sacking the manager i think we all need a little perspective!
Thats a very good point Monty about our need for extra players if we qualify for Europe, I often think that screaming for money money money is an easy solution that presents complex problems.
i beleive Money itself can be bad for a club unless it is spent in the right by wise people. For example if we were taken over and abandoned our policyof signing a quality young player or two a season and started to sign the ballacks and shevenkos and other ready made superstars in return for instant success for a couple of seasons i dont think this would be in the benifit of the club in the long term.
I think we are going to see a point in the near future were money is going to be obsealete with most clubs having a fair bit to spend with takeovers and tv money. i think we are approaching a point with so much money splashing around that players will choose clubs again rather than were they will get the biggest contract. For example say in the summer we go for a player, with pompey and west ham, bolton, wigan and us all interested i can see any player picking us over any of these based on our stature and traditition realisliticly they can earn a decent wages with us! I think what also helps is that at present ee have two first team members in the England Squad addititionly AJ got a better look in after he moved to us. What does this tell perspective signings that Everton is a good club to develop and progress your international ambitions and one of the few clubs that if you make the grade you will be considered internatuional quality.
Maybe i am being naive in how the money thing will pan out but to be honest if the tradition the size of the club and the prospect of international recognition are not part of a players integraty and expectations and overall decision making process in terms of their career i framkly dont want them at the club.
:shock: :angry:
