I can't even begin to understand why anyone cares who we play in pre season theres loads of things to moan about with this club but this is not one of them!

It's another sign that we are failing as a club. Do you think we are going to drum up lots of merchandise, new supporters and brand awareness from these?

Every year other clubs are eating into what could be our piece of the pie.

Nobody's going to start supporting Everton because we play against a better team in another country and get smashed lad. People can watch every premier league game and they can see how crap we are they will support good teams not us at the moment thats just the reality of it we're not building a whole new fanbase by lobbing long balls up to a target man in 90 degree heat believe it or not.

And that's the attitude why we are where we are. No one said we have to play Real Madrid. It can be a decent local team in that country where we want to press the flesh. I get what you say regarding style of play and you have a point, but we don't always play like that and we can play decent direct, exciting, football at times (see the derby).

Go to a city that doesn't usually have premiership teams visit, have an open day where they can see them train and have a chat afterwards. You never know, you might get some sales, you might get a follow on You Tube/instagram/X. Like it or not this is how big clubs are ranked nowadays and always helps to bring in prospective owners if you do well in these metrics to show the size of the fan base to tap into.

We have done it in the past though. We can improve the marketing obviously but going and playing a game is only a tiny tiny part of that its not like everyone in Dallas is suddenly going to support Everton if we go and play them is it we might pick up a little bit of interest but its not worth scheduling the whole pre season plan around. Pre season is meant to be about getting fit and prepared for the season its as if people have forgotten about the actual football team entirely and only care about the finances these days which is a bit sad.

It's about striking a balance between fitness and promotion. We need both in tandem to grow.

You could say the Irish tour does that but I still think we were a lot of people's favourite prem team in America and we are letting that slip away year on year.
