significant transfer funds are meaningless when you are restricted by FFP

Everton have creative auditors.
…yep, I think Lampard has left a lot to be desired and he could come under pressure next season. It could be difficult.
The major plus is we have a manager who seems happy to work with others in the club and not against them. That could make the big difference between mid-table and relegation.
If we sack Lampard next season then we’re 100% going down. We may well go down if he’s given the season as well, but if we’re in a position where we’re sacking him midway through it’s guaranteed imo. We can’t afford any more upheaval, Sunderland tried that tactic and it catches up with you eventually.
If any owners come in and sack Lampard straight away then the protest and boycotting needs to begin immediately.

They will have seen the togetherness brought about by Lampard and his staff. No new owner will get rid.
If we start badly, and are struggling, I'm sure fans will turn. I hope this is not the case though.

Lampard must be given a chance. If he plays himself out of a job, so be it. But he must be given a chance. The earliest change possible that wouldn't be certifiably insane is the World Cup break. Lampard will know that this is the danger point for him. He must get through that. If he does, he has got a chance. But a bad start to the season and his tenure could go south very quickly...

Not unless you are smart as paint operators who can generate more income from new sponsorship deals which I suspect they are doing
….I agree, Mike. I have high hopes for him, he’s a very bright man and I hope he‘s learning from his mistakes. From a club perspective, he’s ideal to repair the internal divisions and turmoil caused by his predecessor. I do think we’ll struggle on the pitch but I hope we are safe enough for Lampard to develop.
We have to stick with him and stop this cycle of continually sacking managers.
He’s the only manager I’ve personally felt a connection with since the early days of Moyes. Martinez was fake and I could never take to him, Koeman was never interested, Allardyce was Allardyce, Silva was as charismatic as beige wallpaper, even Ancelotti I never felt deep down was here because he genuinely wanted to be. Less said about the large one the better.
What you unsure about @davek? You literally just said right there in black and white that the presence of Benitez nearly got us relegated. Are you about to defend Moshiri’s decision to bring him in here? Go on I dare you.
