The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)

[Cena]

We would have to sell the whole squad to "rebuild" Goodison tho mate.

I kid you not.

If it was as easy as, selling 1 or 2 players, im fairly sure our Board of parasites would have already done it.

True.

The stadium debate is a whole different argument, but I think we have all been taken in by this need for a stadium that has to look like the Emirates with corporate boxes all over the place and can hold concerts, when in fact a modernisation of Goodison would be more than sufficient and I don't care, It is possible, cost is another thing, but I firmly believe it would cost more to take us to a new site and start from scratch.

And I personally think Goodison would need to be rebuilt from Scratch.

Theres only the Park End without a pillar army.

Its mostly cheaper to tear down and rebuild.

FF would cost 20m I think.

If we can get 20m for Rodwell, im game.

The brochure the selling agent's put out had it for sale FOR £15.8M. That may be negotiable.

I wouldn't enjoy doing this but at least I'd be a bit confident there's guna be an Everton for me kids to support I'd back it.

The club's a shambles. Mid-table nailed on again. Sad to say it but we are now a nothing club going nowhere.

This summer we'll see Moyes looking through the rubbish tips trying to salvage something that can be polished up and used; meanwhile the key shareholding directors, Messrs Kenwright, Earl and Woods will be doing precisely the square root of **** all...just cracking on with their core businesses and leaving that gobshite Elstone to deflect in the media about 'backing the manager'. Then Moyes will back it all up with his stuff that 'we just get on with it...it's always been this way'.

How people put up with that caper I dont know.

Would you support trading players to rebuild the ground and buy back assets Dave?

There's just no option along those lines. We sell players to survive now, and anymore sales over and above the usual lot to raise cash for that sort of redevelopment would leave us perilous in competitive terms. Besides, we are a club that's in the habit of not getting top dollar for players. Buyers know how vulnerable we are and drive a hard bargain. Lescott aside that's been the trend.

You are aware what the word Net means, right?

Yeah, why?

Big time.

The figures touted for Baines from United says a lot.

I'd disgaree that there's no option. Losing, for instance, Jagielka, Fellaini and Jelavic wouldn't see us close to relegation IMO, assuming Moyles was given £10-15m back to restart the cycle. Debt would need to be paid down first and Moyes would need to be convinced to stay and be a part, he's never shown any real inclination to leave though, but it could happen if there was a will to make it happen.

Sadly no one want's to make anything happen at all.

I dunno to be fair.

I honestly believe we would've finished where villa did if we didn't get transfers in January.

January masked how plain awful we were leading up to that

Yeah, but we'd sold a lot of players and had hardly re-invested anything for three years. Perhaps without Jelavic we'd struggle for goals but the other two wouldn't be a massive, massive miss as we'd still have better players than a good few sides in the league for their positions.

January kind of proves the point though. Jelavic for £5m. What would he fetch if we looked to sell and replaced with another bargain?

£10-15M back to Moyes + the usual £5M debt repayment...that'd leave about £7M to rebuild the staium with!

Jag - 7-10m
Fellaini - 25-30m
Jelavic - 15-20m

In my book theres 25-40m to build with. IMO that's the bullens done.

We would have 1 of the best grounds in The Championship.

That's some price you're putting on their heads!!

Realistically:

Jagielka coming up to 30 = £8M

Fellaini = £18M

Jelavic = £12M
