The summer 2013 Everton transfer rumourZ thread

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

That is a disingenuous statement. Based on past models the club has used future revenues to prop up the immediate economic needs. They mortgage future revenue, so it is to be expected that they do the same, however, the greater problem is the terms and actual lenders of the debts we carry, at exhorbitant rates, and more than likely termed with penalties for early repayment or demands on unregistered income..
EFC APR approx 4789 % pa....

So let me get this right.....

The fact that they've previously borrowed against future revenue - which is something that those eager to have a pop have criticised the club for. Is now being used to take another side swipe as they're not seemingly doing the same with the incremental £25m that will be earned this season?

You can't have both sides of that argument, you're either against borrowing against future revenues & therefore should see the failure to do so with the incremental revenue as a positive, or you want them to do just that, in which case you can't take a swipe at the funding costs, which are merely what we can obtain in the market.

Why do fan's expect anything to change in the transfer market, we still have Kenwright and his underwhelming board in place.

I couldn't be arsed reading it all but it just seems a long winded way of saying he watches players a few times before going for them. pretty much what all manages do.

To be honest, that system seems like the sort of thing you'd build up if you weren't confident in your own judgment. That the way to true success in football lies in percentages. Moyes for me has two problems that stop h getting to the top
1 he doesn't love football, in the way that Martinez or Benitez does. It's variables just don't interest him, he just wants to get from a to b in the most efficient way possible
2 he's not hard enough. Essentially he comes across as quite a sensitive person, which is a laudable characteristic vbut to get to the top you do need to be feared a bit.

My whole life I've seen Spurs come in for our targets. FFS Everton for once make a move early, we're such an unambitious, boring club.

....only if the Manager truly wants him and we don't know if that's the case.

It wouldn't matter if he really did want him, we'd take too long to sort the deal out. This transfer window has been massively underwhelming yet again.

There saying spurs are looking at toby alderwerld and ericksen 15 mil for the pair, would be a great coup for anyone. Would love to see us go for them if we shift felli

We might as well publish our list of players because like the one plot of land in Liverpool that Bill has his eye on, it does.nt make a lick of difference if you don,t have the dough.

Effectively we have spent our summer transfer budget on 4 x Wigan players and now we have to sell to buy again. Moyes had the same problem - which was he had on average less than 10m each season to find new players in the summer unless he wanted to sell.

The problem I have is that clearly the board have no intention of altering the fiscal policy at the club even for a new manager. I don,t expect them to go out and get loans but one would have thought that between the 3 directors they would have put something into the kitty.

of course the directors want all the plaudits when we win something for nothing. CL football my arse.

Of course, if we ever won anything you'd have Kenwright crying how this is such an achievement. It will actually take some of the shine off it seeing that leech take any credit.

...yes, have to agree. I did think with RM supposedly having a global knowledge of players that he would've brought a few potential gems in. Not necessarily big buck buys, but blokes not on anybody's radar. To this point he's mainly gone up the East Lancs Rd but we live in hope.
