YES, this 100% FFS!

Bugger everyone else. What's our name?

EVERTON

People clocking on...

This Everton – the one making bold moves to suit their purposes – can be reconciled with that glowing history and begin to reconcentrate their diluted culture.

EDIT...
and this quote.

It's aggressive and, for the first time in a generation, it shows Everton behaving in a predatory way.

Ambitious clubs take what they want, they don't just gather low-hanging fruit; this is a big club's move and one which makes a muscular statement.
 
Pretty sure no one has said that Emery turned us down...

Yes they did...

We offered Emery the job, we were waiting on him, he didn't accept. That's literally the definition of 'turning down'. And it seems clear to me that's because PSG were also in the frame, which is perfectly reasonable.

Fortunately our first choice had by then come back to us, and we were able to go and get him (or at least, by all accounts get the deal done and dusted)
 

CC: related to koeman maybe/ RE

Probably for the new kit or summat.

Emery wasn't our first choice don't forget, Koeman was.
 
No, you can stop it. Can't remember the name but you can block employees signing with rival firms if you so desire...
FYI - A non-solicitation clause may prevent a former employee trying to take other employees with him (or her) or from chatting up former clients.
As a restraint of trade, it cannot run for ever - typically a year or two after a job ends. But when the employee signs up for the contract in the first place that is part of the consideration for the stupid money everyone in football, apart from the kitman, the stewards , the bar staff and the turnstile executives, get. If there is a breach, the first employer is almost certainly entitled to damages to compensate for what the first club has lost, including replacing the player in question.
Most players sign a contract to sell their efforts exclusively to one club for a period, and the player agrees not to talk to another club. And FA rules forbid it. Because the player can't leave before the contract expires, his (or her) club then has something to sell, if they agree to negotiations taking place.
So, for example, it would suit Southampton to have a year left on Koeman's contract. EFC will pay them shedloads in return for their waiving their contractual rights. In some circumstances, as well as, or as an alternative to, damages, a Court may make an injunction to prevent a player (or manager) taking up another job. But I would expect the remedy to be damages if a former manager enticed a player from his old club to move with him, in breach of the terms of his contract. The player may be in his (or her) own deep water for trying to leave without permission.
The more terms there are like this in a contract, the more the first club can wring out of the second in return for giving up their contractual rights. I hope Stones and Lukaku's contracts are similarly watertight...
 
Find it bizarre that fellow fans are happy to talk about players that we can poach from Southampton - but must be some of the same people who formed an irrational dislike for Moyes, partly on the basis of him trying to poach Fellaini and Baines. It's part of football. Moyes deserves to be respected by all for what he did for the club
 
You know what? I'm happy Southampton hate us. I'm happy the rest of the country hates us.

It means they think we're a threat. Worry when people are nice about us. Time for snidey old Everton to return.

We can be mean and still classy folks. Classy doesn't have to mean super-nice.
I'm sure Neville Southall said similar when asked about abuse he got when in goal

He does deserve some respect, however it was the bids and the manor of them which irritated most. £28m for Felli and Baines. Come on, if your going back to a club you pay the going rate - thats fair.

I don't think somehow we would go in and offer £28m for Mane and Forster.
 
You can't but you can insist that they don't until contracts etc have finished, if you do this they have to go on gardening leave so basically paid for nothing until the contract/ notice period has ended.

You can't deny anyone the right to make money
Yes you can. A friend of mine had a clause saying he couldn't work for a rival for one year after leaving them...
