What makes us better?

Losing our best players makes us better!

Yay!

I know it sounds stupid, but for the last 10 years that has actually been the case.

Still, it's not a long term strategy. You can't keep selling off your star players if you want consistent success, you've got to have a core. Fellaini and Baines are the backbone of our side in terms of quality, and selling one of them would be a disaster, nevermind both.

Nah, selling Felli wouldn't be a disaster. £20m + 80k of wages freed up. Fer plus a striker in. BOOM.
 
Felliani is world class on his day but sadly he seems to turn it on when he wants and can go missing in games, compare that to your Bale's and suarez's of the league this year and you can see losing him whilst it would hurt it wouldnt be a disaster PROVIDING we sell for around £30 mil and Moyes gets atleast £25 mil of it + tv cash to spend.

£25 mil+ say £10 mil of tv cash= assurance of moyes staying.

Capoue CM- £10 mil
Negredo ST- £15 mil
Marin CAM: £7 mil

Howard
Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines

Mirallas Gibson Capoue Pienaar

Marin

Negredo

YES PLEASE.

But where else do we go? This is business and what we've been doing over 10 years is buying for cheap/bringing through and selling for big profits.

When you look at the Rooney sale, Lescott sale and even Rodwell sale. That massive mark ups.

This is how Everton needs to operate to stay chaseing the pack.

Jelavic? Osman? Naismith?

Wouldn't work.

You do that and the team would suffer, which means we'd probably lose money through league placings and the gate receipts would go down again just like they did last season.

The debt isn't a big concern compared to the impending management issue.

That could be true yes. However, the danger is that the bans come knocking (wqe don't know what sort of loan facility terms have been agreed) and BK is forced to sell to repay debt and has to sell other players (Baines?) out of desperation and for less than we could get if our hand wasn't being forced. Clubs who are known to have financial trouble usually end up selling players for less than they are worth when the vultures come circling.

No we don't, we cant keep relying on our youth system or manager to pull out a jem from the bargain sales. We as a club need to organically grow, not rely on the tv money ( It's no benefit to us if all the other clubs get it ) that is the core of our problems, poor management from the board ( Since the start of the premiership )
