New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

a lot of wages being saved in the summer though

so many players out of contract

Surely we have to replace those players though so not as big a saving as you would think?

Yeah, its only a saving in 12months, when you havent paid them for a year, till then its just a headache about how you replace the 12 players who's contracts have just expired.

you can replace at a lower wage though

for example Tim Ireogboenum might be on around 10k a week and he has replaced Gomes who would have been on around 80k a week

a significant savings of 70k per week on just 1 player etc...

Gomes was reported to be on 120k a week.

But we have "most" of the wage drains gone from the squad now.

Sure there are savings to be made, but when you factor in the transfer/loan and Agent fees, are you REALLY saving money?

Keane is a squad player, Doucs, Gana and DCL are first 11 players.

So I disagree.

In the case of Gana, he more than earns his wage, but the others, yes, you could certainly get "cheaper" players for better output.

Not to mention shipping in half a different squad. There have to be changes for sure, but I don't see a thing where we get 10 players in and 10 players out.

i'd keep gana and dcl although it seems unlikely that will happen

you can easily replace all 4 with first teamers on lower wages

you can't tell me we can't sign Delap in the summer on lower wages than DCL and Delap is a much better player than DCL

They’ll demand about £50m for Delap so no we can’t sign him.

Havent watched Delap, but I doubt he ever scores 21 goals in a season.

And I dont think you would get much change between the wages Delap would ask for and the wages DCL is on.

Besides, he wouldnt score a goal under T-Rex, so its moot.

Am I being impatient or are these guys sitting on their hands and just boasting about buying a shiny new stadium?

The stadium will certainly have been a pretty massive factor in buying the club in the first place like, think this is undeniable really. Only natural for them to spotlight that.

Well put it this way, our previous chairman had years of custodianship to the support of many despite obvious issues being brought to attention.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to give these new folks at least a couple of months, despite any reservations.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Yes we have lowered our costs a lot. Both on wages and amortization. I did a calculation and I think I came at cautious 20-25m a season.

I think we are fine this season and there is some wriggle room.

We have announced a bigger shirt sponsorship and some stadium stuff too which will be another 15m (and maybe more to come).

It doesn't sound a lot, but you add say 15m to 25m to 50m on lack of debt and you are close to 100m turnaround. Which is more than the club was previously losing pre player trading

As well as savings on wages and amortisation we have also booked a profit on Onana this FY.

Any half decent director or new manager gets rid of doucoure and Keane straight up. Save a fortune on wages. First one has the control of a kerb.
