tbf, after watching Godfrey attempt to play left back again against a 2nd division Swiss farming team, I thought to myself "Young will walk into this Everton team".

Good, because he shouldn’t be running at his age

"They're close but I don't know how close"

One of the biggest blaggers out there. Still gets his info from teletext lol

Absolutely craves attention that man as well.

Surprise me

I swear Myers runs the toffee transfers account on twitter. The other day they said Gray was 50/50 to leave . Just sounds like something he’d come out with.

You realise you said that out loud?

However football has or hasn’t moved on, Building your entire operating model around immediately selling any good player you have and refreshing your team on an annual basis has never worked.

Everton can massively improve how it operates without having to copy everything Brighton do. The principle of buying low and selling high isn’t something they’ve invented. We’ve not even been that bad at it ourselves as seen with Gueye Digne Richarlison Gordon. Everton’s main problems have been with managerial instability, crippling injuries, buying players with poor attitude, and falling foul of financial regs whilst building a stadium. We can fix a lot of those without redesigning the ethos of our entire club to copy Brighton.


If in a few seasons Brighton are ensconced in the CL positions with numerous trophies in their cabinet I’ll quite happily come on here and say I was wrong. If they’re back in mid table with nothing to show for it then it’s not been sustainable has it.

But if in a few seasons Brighton are still a competent top half club qualifying for Europe and going deep into cup competitions and we’re in the Championship, what will you say then? Your ambitions for Everton just aren’t realistic, we haven’t been the club you think we are since a 4 year period in the 80s. That’s the fault of ourselves and how incompetent we are, not some evil conspiracy by the globalist reds, or refs, or injuries as well.

No one is saying they’re going to establish themselves as a Champions League club and win the league but they’re in a damn site better place than we have been for the best part of a decade now. And they started in League 1 and have accelerated past us as we just continue to get worse and worse. I’m really not sure how you can argue our current model is going to work out better for us in the long run.

Funniest part is he chats wham, enough to get abuse for it, then cries off social media because of it. Like maybe don't talk wham in the first place?

 

[TheFinnFan]

Yup. I think he would suite Dyches style pretty damn well. Also he is a character that the team needs. Hard working and gritty.

We’re by far the closest team, the world has ever seen

We’re big and far away.

This is the fella that about 6 weeks ago was saying "trust me, Moshiri is working hard behind the scenes to make changes"......2 weeks later Moshiri "ebening Ebepton fans, I've asked Bill to stay and oversee this short 15 year transitional period to the year 2038. I've also added an excellent accountant who goes by the name of Farhad Moshiri to the board who I know you will welcome due to his expertise and experience in obtaining the right kind of striker. Best wishes to Farhad, from Farhad and Moshiri, and Bill and Denise even though she is gone she's doing a fantastic job"

I think there are multiple strategies a club like Everton can adopt through stages of growth or on the path to be more successful. I agree you can’t copy another club completely but you can adopt certain aspects of how they operate.

Taking Brighton for example, like any club they will buy duds, and good players….they seem to be on a good run of gaining net benefits from their transfer transactions, but it’s what underneath that to get those results that’s the thing to look at. For instance they seem to have good contacts in South America, they identify them and bring them over to their feeder club to develop. This is something Everton should consider doing.

The reality is, that whatever our pedigree and our potential, we have to think like a Brighton to get to a foundational level to build on that success. As we grow and become more sustainable, we wouldn’t necessarily cast off the feeder club but we can’t start to act like clubs who are bigger but we should not try and run before we walk….it is trying to do that initially and that ‘small window of opportunity’ as Moshiri put it, that landed us in this mess. Yes, we should try and be at the top of the game, but that is something we should aspire to once we have gone through a number of development phases.

We need a forward who scores actual goals mate.

I'd be surprised if that was true. What journalist is giving their info for someone else to share? Obtaining info and being the first to publish it is how they build their credibility.

More likely is the journalists and Bobble have the same source(s) in and around the club.

Them days are long gone especially with rules on when info can be released.

Clubs pretty much dictate to journalists now.
