The Everton Board Thread

[Colonel Getafe]

Empty threats. The club basically laughed at it and the PL were never punishing Everton (bad for the brand). Burnley tried to get a few quid out of us but quickly backed off.

FFP is a joke.

If any of that were even the least bit true Moshiri would have written cheques in the last two windows like he has in the first few years. But he didn't, because the club could have faced very real and very catastrophic consequences of breaking P&S. It's exactly why we've been transparent with the league on all our [very limited] transfer dealings for about 18 months.

Plus if you think the Premier League care one iota about "the mighty Everton" or that their brand is affected by anyone other than the Sky Six, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Because of an Usmanov shaped hole as well. FFP is just an excuse, never bothered him before.

He's been looking for new investment/a sale for the last year.

We have a rich owner. A very, very rich owner. And until he decides he wants to sell up, he wont be going any where, like it or not.

Moshiri is something like the 15th richest owner in the league.

arguably they did take a few quid off us, just depends how you look at it. They also got rid of McNeil in the same breath ffs.

Dude is worth $2.9bn, not exactly oil money but hardly short of a few quid either.

So Yerry Mina or Andre Gomes could buy Brentford with about half a years wages?!?... What a world.

Instead of putting a £4m downpayment on McNeil we could’ve just bought Brentford and released all of their players, tying up one of the relegation spots. FFS.

I'm surprised Dele Alli didn't have a look in his piggy bank. He could have bought the gaff and played himself every week. Wouldn't have even had to move house. ?

Ivan Toney for £30m or Brentford for £3m.

It's like when you see those street vendors selling t-shirts out of a shopping trolley: "£1.50 each or three for a fiver".

You could say mcneil was the hush money. I don't think Everton cared about Burnley's threats.

Christ almighty! What a world where you're blackmailed with "take Dwight McNeil or we'll sue the plums off you". Now it all makes sense.........

SACK THE BOARD

 

[nsno-chris]

The pressure should have been kept on the board. Instead it looked like a protest against Benitez

They have overseen the massive decline of this club

Agree, we shouldn't of been protesting against Benitez
