I really can’t stand Bill. If you look through my posts you will see that.

But in reality, if Moshiri is focused on a sale, he won’t be involved in the transfer side of things (thank god for that). Moshiri also no longer has any proxies at the club.

Also, I wouldn’t expect Thelwell to engage in fee negotiation. Is that something other directors of football would necessarily get directly involved in?

As much as I can’t stand Bill, of those currently at the club, I trust him to get the best fee for Richarlison. Think Rooney, Lescott, Lukaku, Stones. In general, we didn’t exactly get our pants pulled down.
 
Given we're selling Richy to spurs then and bringing in winks who reckons the announcement of spurs signing Richy for £85m with our purchase of £45m rated winks is announced on the 1st July?

And that's a huge part of the problem.

A generous but absent owner who has unbelievably kept an utterly inept board in place.

You're right, Kenwright IS the best person to negotiate. I can imagine DBB showing up to meetings with a photo of her business awards and asking for a LinkedIn recommendation afterwards.

We're simply not equipped to be a modern football club.

It's crazy how one journalist mentions something and they all repeat it until it becomes gospel.

Selling a player before the end of June doesn't do anything that immediately improves our position in the eyes of regulations.

The fact we didn't have money to spend last summer shouldn't have been a surprise. First of all you had Ancelotti and his "I'm not a magician" line. Rewind a few months earlier DBB said during the AGM over zoom something like "we're in constant contact with the Premier League over Profit and Sustainability regulations." That suggests we have been toeing a fine line the past 2 seasons (at least), but so long as we don't go nuts, no sanctions will head our way.

We are already 'in profit' player trading wise for last season so there's no chance of sanctions for the upcoming season. We may well end up selling a prized asset, but there's no need to fret over some mythical sanction just because some spotty skidmark prints it.

Exactly mate. There's a commitment from the club to get on top of the overspend and the PL are happy with it.

There's been a Chinese Whispers effect with the original journalist statement in the Athletic which has been embellished by other hacks to a point where there's a time element to this process: we have to 'imminently' sell a player.

These journalists will willingly work with Spurs / Chelsea to destabilise the Everton transfer window for those clubs' benefit.

The worst thing of it is that some Everton fans simply repeat the BS and add to the 'urgency'...and they willingly do it because - for their own entertainment - they want players out and players in quickly without too much regard for where a panic sale would place us.

Staggering short sightedness.

Even so, who cares if they are having a meal, they both live in London, they obviously know each other, its actually a good thing this as it means we have a better chance of getting a decent fee from them and I highly doubt if they were going to meet up to thrash out a deal they would do that in a restaurant.
Dont forget if Moshiri hadnt of landed us with FFP restrictions we wouldn't even have to be selling Richarlison

As you say Bill was good at selling high, but he was also good at buying cheap, its that model we have to go back to now
