Summer transfer window 2023

[Lob]

New financial year commenced so get your wallets out Everton and get some Dyche sanctioned players in quickly starting with 2 strikers.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Uh-oh

Isn't Kia J his agent?!

 

[Trublue12]

Depends on how much money he wants. Can't keep getting lumbered with massive wages, even on free contracts. Still got Gomes and Ali to get off the books.

 

[COYBL25]

As of today, Tom Davies officially without a cloob.

It`ll be very interesting to see where he ends up.

Good luck Tom, it just wasn`t meant to be.

So here we are, the new financial year.

Piecing together the losses of the past few seasons;

2018/19: -£112m
2019/20: -£140m
2020/21: -£120m
2021/22: -£44.7m
2022/23: Profit??? (from Gordon and Kean sales)

Now I don’t really understand finance or FFP like some of the half evertonian/half accountant types that seem to be around, but I’d take that to mean we’ve already dropped the -£112m loss, and as of today the -£140m loss will drop off too which is the biggest of all.

Now if we’re allowed losses of -£105m over 3 seasons, we might be just about at that mark taking into account the two years of losses and the profits(???) from last year.

So it looks like this year we basically need to continue cutting the top earners, sell to buy, stay in the league any which way, and then next year we’d actually have some decent wiggle room to spend more than a fiver. Open to correction if I’m reading that wrong.

Hang on, Tom Davies is available? Could be just what we need.

But as football is such a loss inducing business - particularly in player acquisitions - it doesn't mean that the plan is to use player sales to pay for the stadium but it does mean that money that would go towards player recruitment goes toward stadium development, therefore sales funds are what is generally used to be reinvested into the side.

As you've pointed out, when Spurs didn't bring in cash from sales, they didn't spend. Spurs did bring in funds from player sales the other seasons and were also regularly qualifying for Europe and CL - which is a huge cash injection we won't have.

The word from anyone with even a modicum of knowledge on the situation is that we are absolutely brassic and they are complaining that people don't seem to realise just how broke we are.

I simply just don't believe that we're broke because of the stadium. Moshiri has put most of it in himself and we're getting fund from msp to the tune of £130m. The stadium was supposed to cost £500m

Were broke because the wage bill takes up 90% of our income.

The original point was that the Gordon money has gone to fund the stadium. I dont believe thats happened. The stadium may reduce our ability to buy players without selling but I cant see player sales being in anyones plans to fund a stadium.

So your solution to signing older players and paying them massive wages is to go out and sign an ageing player on massive wages?

We have “ bought the souls” of both managers and players since mosh has been here and that’s why he are in a mess….

They may be hard to find , but hungry players that actually want to move here is what we should be aiming to sign

My solution is to buy better quality players than we have and to stay up. What's your solutuion?

 

[Wat Tyler]

The RS casually dumping over 50m on a player who would be our highest signing in history but they keep telling us we spend trillions.

 

[lesbattersby]

On the plus side because the season starts on the 12th of August, we will only throw away 3 games this season instead of 6 like last season.

 

[Clarky cat]

Isn't Kia J his agent?!

No, because Kia J is not an agent. He’s a grubby little middle man “facilitator“/ dicktator

What do those numbers represent? Because any loss can have multiple items subtracted from it which arent covered by FFP.
