Their in London mate so they can tap into a massive corporate and commercial market without having to try hard.

Jammy sods !

How do you explain their massive presence in the US?

I know loads of Spurs fans.

Its a big STFU to Anfield (its facing their direction).

He did turn them down you know?


I don't mind it.

Also, this.

I've seen a rising interest in PL football because the quality in MLS is lesser. People want to watch top quality "soccer" and readily find it in the PL (although BEIN is starting to show a hell of a lot of PSG games, so it looks like other leagues are making in-roads into US tv market as well). I think EFC activity has an impact on whether or not those new fans choose EFC over one of the other PL teams. Unfortunately, Everton hasn't really had much activity in the US compared to United and Liverpool.

United and Liverpool have been boosted in terms of their tie ups with established sporting giants like the Red Sox and Yankees. City are setting up a NY club.

Unless you can amplify your 'brand' in that way it's a long hard slog to make up the ground.

Oh well, it could always be worse...

That one really needs to be repeated on every stand, down the side streets and roads over and over again.

Probably all the way to anfield.

They seem to specialize in marketing in the american market more than other clubs.

See things like that ''American soccer coach'' ad they filmed at spurs.

They also exploited signing Dempsey very well which we failed to do with Howard and Donavon

Got to be more than just the London factor though, them being in London wouldn't particularly matter to US fans with no plans to ever attend a game for example.

We don't have to make up ground though. Not really. The US is an enormous emerging market. If we start from scratch right now, and end up the 5/6th biggest club in the US as the market emerges, we'll have loads of extra income.

Which is what I'm advocating Everton do.

It's not magic. Just pick a strategy and do it. Go court new fans and make more money and then buy sexy players and win trophies....etc.

Also say what you want about Levy, but he's a ruthless business man off the pitch and gets things done. Something we dont poses

I do too, not quite sure how they got so many fans in Albuquerque and Orlando. Dempsey was only there for one year ffs.

Better management and know how than we possess on our board.

The people running our club are too inward thinking

Can't argue with any of that.

Totally agree with this.

We need a visionary in the board room.

I was going to photoshop Everton cheerleaders with massive tits but I'm all PS'd out. If you could imagine the picture in your head and give me a transient mind-like that would be great.

Just image search those Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and put in little Rupert's towers for the stars. Sorted.

I have been to Albuquerque and there is, I kid you not, a road called Everton Avenue!
