That's why the ability to trade players is important until we increase revenues from a new stadium and commercial/sponsorship activities.

Let's say we spend £150 million on 5 players (each on 4 year contracts) this summer each earning an average of £100,000 per week.

In accounting terms that equates to £26 million in wages and £37.5 million in player depreciation - a total of £62.5 million deducted from the P&L account. All other income and costs being equal we can live with that without a problem. However we can not repeat that exercise the following without generating player trading profits or an increase income in year 2 of this expansionary phase. That's why the biggest clubs periodically trade players - in accounting terms it allows the opportunity to keep acquiring new players whilst keeping within the PL rules/FFP in terms of over spending.

We can do this for a few years - 3 or 4 probably - that's why we need a clever DoF, increased income from a new stadium, greater performance revenues (Including CL?) and commercial/sponsorship revenues.

I've no doubt we will do this, it's just an explanation of what's required.

When I mentioned such things in the other thread I got a cabbage thrown at me.

Thing is, without going too much into it, how much did the board do in that time that was short sighted?

Chang deals, kit bag deals, selling bellfield, selling finch farm, the car park fiasco, the lack of backing when it mattered, expecting the city to pay for our stadium etc

Point is, so many desicions were made with no long term planning in place. Hell we sold arteta Beckford and yakubu all at the same time! Two strikers and our creative midfielder and loaned in a striker being offered to everyone in the country and a young Dutch player who turns out was available for a reason.

Just so much poor forsight that other clubs had the sense to plan for instead.

As the business side crawled to break even our league position stabilised as top seven and this happened without a major investor. I am not surprised the man is ill. Not saying he is faultless either. All I want Everton to do is win the league again and the derbys while we do. But if he genuinely could not find the right investor until now then his achievement with Everton the business is immense.

Not happy as a supporter but totally admire what he did to turn the club around without any finance. It is well known we were effectively bust.

So you would have been happy with Bill leading us to the promised land that was Kirkby then. In hoc with Phillip Green. Ok then mate. Like I said earlier, I don't want to get involved in another anti Kenwright rant. He is not some sort of messiah because Moshiri came in. He was just lucky, and we were that Dein introduced the two
