No takeover could mean they'll implode. I'd imagine Torres to be sold at the end of the WC because he wont want the distraction in the build up/tournament. Gerrard could actually be sold now to get a decent price, as he'll be shown up for the over the hill player he is in the quality company he'll be up against in South Africa. Mascherano the mercenary is a forgone conclusion. He's as good as out the door. Babel and Lucas will be on their way...if anyone are daft enough to buy them.
They'll be asset stripped this pre-season.
Someone on Radio City after the game today made a good point that had Aldridge speechless (yes. a Kopite speechless!).
That they'd love to see the FSW on Moyes' budget for 5 years and see whats what.
And that at Everton we've had tough times and just "got on with it".
And that Kopites think they're the centre of the football universe but they're not and have no divine right to anything.
The best point was, that with all that above, the person would be very interested to see how many tickets they sell in the Centenary Stand ...
<no comment from Aldridge or Snods>
* Was priceless radio that!
The lad next to me at the game today said it best, all this "worldwide support they've got" and selling shirts.... lets see how many shirts they sell when Gerrard and Torres go................
Further reinforced the point the lad made on the radio.
The RS are only one or two players leaving from being in freefall!
Rock and hardplace.
Whilst looking at us lot come out today...... after Billy's wonderstrike. We've all got our heads screwed on. Realistic expectations - WE EXPECT THE CLUB TO BE RUN PROPERLY AND NOT HAVE A BALLOONING WAGE:TURNOVER or COSTS etc. WE EXPECT PROGRESS THROUGH MAXIMISATION OF THE CLUB.
Best policy.
