did i miss the horse punching, head-choppers actually win something?

No, but that is the carrot , is it not ?

TFG doing a bit of facilities development and naming rights investment I see!

Makes you think.

It's a statement of fact mate. Unless you're telling me than someone can build a business worth billions up from nothing without exploiting a lot of people along the way.

Degrees of involvement in exploitation dont cut muster. You've invited the principle of exploitation into the debate but now you want to limit just how exploitative an investor can be to smuggle one owner over the line compared to others who cant be smuggled over the line.

So you support human rights abusing murderers taking over our football club, yet you get “holy’er than thou” calling kier starmer out for supporting genocide in Palestine the CA forum.

You’ve sunk to a new low even for you.

Name me a country that doesn't have human right's abuses?

There's no corporation of such magnitude and no base / country of origin that are pristine.

If we were taken over by an emirates tomorrow we'd all move past any such violations...not because we're hypocritical monsters but because the grown ups would realise that where there's extraordinary wealth accumulation there's ruthless exploitation. And if you cant handle that forget football and take up knitting.

That's ^^^ not an excuse for that type of exploitation, it's a recognition that we as fan are forced to swim in such shark infested waters.

According to iNews, Everton sources keep on bringing up the two words ‘on track’ when finding out details about the takeover.

‘While sources shy away from calling anything imminent – they remain at the mercy of external forces in terms of the timeline – the word is that things remain “on track” and there is a measure of optimism that the Friedkins will have control by Christmas.

‘No one will offer any guarantees on that and the ongoing court case involving Leadenhall Capital and A-Cap, who have taken over the club debt owed to 777 Partners, will need to be resolved. It may be that further work on that agreement is required – although there remains “confidence” that hurdle can be overcome.

‘No one foresees any problem with the Premier League’s enhanced OADTs, which require proof of funds, a short and medium term business plan and names of directors, or getting FCA approval. That process can take a couple of months, which would take us to December.’

I fully expect we will be spending in Jan, how 'significant' is anyones guess and will come down to a whole manner of things, PSR being one of them and our league position another.

It says elsewhere in that report that they are involved with things now so they can hit the ground running. In my opinion that will likely be in large part due to the January Transfer window. I'm sure they will want to affect that as much as they possibly can. There may well be things they can implement now that will improve our PSR position and give us more wiggle room in the market.

If they are sensible I forsee a couple of modest purchases in January .

Right back looks the most pressing need to me but the question is would Dyche select anyone ahead of Young?

A right sided Ndayie would be nice too .

That would allow for the major rebuild in the summer.

I presume Branthwaite will be sold and DCL will be off so a huge amount to do.

Yeah mate...1968(?) iirc - how did you miss that

For sure we all have petro-money in our pockets. Toyota's run on Saudi petrol too (for now).

Still, we are in the realms of 'whataboutery'.

Hopefully the UK / US arent murdering investigative journalists they don't like.

Telling people we’d be right to “move on past any such violations” whilst getting hysterical and being unable to do the same about your pathetic prejudices against the Friedkins

You are a complete comedy act and somehow don’t even manage to see your own contradictions despite how obvious they are.

Absolute clown.

As I keep telling them (I live in the north east) the Fairs Cup doesn’t count as a real trophy as it was an invitation event. It was the equivalent of winning a pre-season tournament.

Club just posted a one year anniversary notice in relation to Kenwright. Can’t say we would have a sale pending completion were he still meddling. While it’s been a tough and at times tawdry 12-18 months process, we are nearly there. A new dawn.

Never mind ‘on track’ once TFG are ‘back on the grass’ we can get the corks popping.

Imagine the fume if they increased the capacity to 61,878.
