The Everton Board Thread 2014/15

Not criticizing you mate but this post shows how horrible the Premier League is now. We are one of the if not the last romantic club left in England. In fact we aren't even a club now, we're now just another one of the millions of businesses around the world. Remember the days when we all teams were full of local talent-I don't but I'm sure many on this forum do. How I wish I couldve seen those days.

Unfortunately the romanticism you mention has gone, probably never to come back, but there are still elements of the Club's relationship with its surroundings that can prosper even in these days of excess. EiTC is fantastic and a real standard bearer for our motto.

Hold up.......You're not havin it both ways. Brum & Bradford got to cup finals from lower divisions. .....Millwall too. All got to at least one cup final the same as us. With less money than us.

What does it matter if the rest that WERE PL (portsmouth wigan et all) have gone down since? By your logic we should've been relegated since 2009 then.

And, WTF are you on about now? (regarding Stone/sterling transfers). I'm on about how money simply isnt the be all & end all by showing that there's teams with less than us what have the same (or better) track record than us over the last 20 years.



Don't obscure that argument by changing the subject to sterling's transfer.

You are missing the point ,what i am saying it is all about the money, if Everton and Liverpool were amongst the richest clubs they would not be losing their best players. Sadly for us we will always lose our best players to the richest clubs.

Didn't Tottenham sell Bale?

United, Ronaldo?

Yeah your right, Tottenham aren't as rich or as big as Real Madrid, and Ronaldo left for whatever reason, after all he was there for about five seasons.

Agree he has spunked it and long may that continue, what I would say is they are poorer than Man city and that's why Sterling plays for them and City will finish above The S----e

Did either need to sell, though? Not really. In loads of cases, players are bought & sold as much because of strategy, rather than needing the moolah.

Because we're so poorly run we have to sell exclusively because we need the dough..

Poorer than man city - but they've spent as much as them over the past few seasons. Again, you're trying to have it both ways.

Nothing we didn't already know, Bill got control as there was no other option as the time. I had no problem with it at the time, the problem I do have and any other Evertonians I know share this view, every asset we had has been stripped bare. Promises have been broken "arsenal of the North" things have more or less remained the same since 1999.

Other sides we like to compare ourselves to have all moved ahead of us and the damage looks irreparable.

Ps. How loaded is Mike Ashley, makes you wonder what's worse knowing your chairman is loaded and won't buy players or knowing your chairman is skint and won't buy players.

I think what's worse is knowing if ashley sold up, then he'd have no problem finding several buyers. Ditto just about every other club you can think of.......

When the penny drops and other clubs with better infrastructure like Villa, Newcastle, Sunderland, West Ham overtake us we have to hope like you say the damage isn't irreparable. With every passing week we fall behind clubs that we used to look down upon.

Their problem is Ashley wants his £150m back that he used to plug debts caused by the previous regime and that is seemingly added onto his asking price. Otherwise they'd be sold like a shot. They have everything in place to leave us well behind.

Perhaps. But it wouldn't take 16 years for them to be sold. Nowhere near it.

They did have to sell them as Liverpool found with Sterling and Suarez ,if someone wants to go nothing will stop them. And there is now way Liverpool have spent as much as city since the Arabs arrived.

They didn't have to sell them because they're skint though - did they?

We cash our grotesque cheques and slap the name of the highest bidder on our shirts just like everyone else.
