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

Also we took our 2 biggest wage earners off as well, Moyes and Felli.

Cheers, was this after Colymores talk sport 120mil announced on Talksport? Only ask because he said in that vid 'your in the right area', whereas Colymore got a specific figure.. Just being pedantic I suppose, its still too high, but 30mil is still quite a lot of difference.

And we got rid of Neville, that's another £30k at least.

 

[dholliday]

are you honestly trying to tell me Lukaku is costing us £6.4m over one season ? Because i doubt it.

According to this, Lukaku's loan fee is rumoured at 3m

2 years before.

I dont actually trust Collymores info personally, he had an anonymous source and he works for a Radio Station that oftens talks utter bullcrap.

 

[Chang Elephant]

So all in all, a negative spend of circa £10M, at a time of huge TV money receipts.

7 new players on the wage books, 3 players off it. Martinez is perhaps paid almost the same as Moyes (any info on this?).


Be nice for Kenwright just to come out and say we have a budget, and how much.

Think it was nearer 50k wasn't it, that fella stole a living off us ffs.

I heard it was around 50k myself, but you would hope it was scaling, so hopefully he wasnt on that much near the end.

4 players. Mucha.

 

[Goat]

Lets do the guess work!

Moyes 70k
Neville 50k
Anichebe 40k
Mucha 20k
Fellaini 70k

250k

Kone 40k
Robles 20k
Alcaraz 30k
McCarthy 40k
Barry 50k
Martinez 50k
Lukaku 40k
Defoulaoruruurou 10k

250k

But you also cant say loan fee and then wages, its 1 or the other.

 

[Goat]

So all in all, taking everything into account, carrying the 1s and multiplying the 2s, I reckon we got about 11m "left".

 

[MACCA75]

And we stopped paying Moyes and Neville their 125k per week a good 10 weeks before we started paying the wages of Barry/Lukaku.

To say that we shouldnt have money to spend in Jan is excuse making of the highest order. We've made massively substantial profit on player trading over the last few years and lets not deny it.

 

[Bluesnapper]

I disagree.

150m for a High end Premiership Club with a reasonable worldwide fanbase?

The Rs was sold for 300m, granted they have a much bigger fanbase, but they have the same sort of issues as regards debts and stadia issues. Chelsea was bought for 140m in 2003, with the debt and a rubbish stadia, 150m is a fair price IMO.

What we need to consider is that Bill owns a smallish percentage of shares, so whilst it would be lovely if he "gave" the Club away at a reduced rate, im pretty sure the vultures hes climbed into bed with want a massive return on their "investment".

You can disagree all you want but the proof is that we have not been bought after 14 years of trying because the price is too high.

So its nothing to do with finding the right owner, the investment that would be required on top of the buying price(probably at least equal to the quoted cost of purchase?). Inflation in the football economy over the last ten years compared with general inflation...check it out. Clubs of comparable size(arguably) have been bought. Show me more than one(or even one) that has been successful. Certainly not Villa, which Lerner would sell tomorrow if he could.
Off out now, been so busy Christmas is just beginning! About two weeks prep to do in about 6 hours!. Merry Christmas to Evertonians everywhere.
