yes, that's right. I forgot we used to have a jarg transfer thread and a (supposedly) non-jarg one. Thankfully (and ironically), sanity prevailed and now we just have one massive jarg thread.

Everton to build golden generation as club remains resolute in keeping John Stones... the Toffees have a clear plan for success

Everton manager Roberto Martinez is actively engaged in making significant signings before the transfer window closes.
With Everton having remained resolute in the face of a third bid of £30million from champions Chelsea for defender John Stones, Sportsmail understands that the Toffees are intent on further strengthening the squad in a bid to challenge for the top spots this season.
Everton are currently the lowest summer spenders in the Premier League and a small section of supporters, frustrated with the running of the club by Bill Kenwright, who has been Everton chairman for 16 years, flew a banner over St Mary’s ahead of Saturday’s 3-0 win over Southampton calling for Kenwright to go. A second plane has been planned for Sunday's visit of Manchester City.

Bill Kenwright, Everton chairman of 16 years, has come under pressure to stand down from some supporters
Keen for the club to show more ambition and have a clear plan in place to achieve success, these protesters want immediate change.
However, their desire for new ownership comes at a time when Everton have never looked so strong in recent times while the club’s stand to keep England international Stones is absolute proof of the Toffees’ ambition going forward. Everton want to compete and be successful. Gone are the days of the ‘selling club’ tag and the Toffees are expected to bring in three more players before the window shuts.
So far, Tom Cleverley and Gerard Deulofeu have signed for the club (with Mason Holgate having also been acquired with an eye on the future) but, with key positions still needing to be filled, some fans have grown anxious at the lack of new faces. However, Martinez wants to find the right characters to build a successful side and it is understood that Everton have decided against striking deals with several players they have been in talks with.
Martinez stated from the outset that he would do business early on – which he did bringing in Cleverley and Deulofeu – while the search for a centre back, winger and creative No 10 would go on to late in the window.

Frustration at the club’s failure to land a trophy in twenty years has overshadowed the many improvements made by Everton in recent years. A small minority of fans still insist, however, that Kenwright should pack up and go but the Evertonian owner, a staunch Blue since he was a child, is continuing to lead the club in its quest for silverware and success. Challenges over investment and the stadium also dominate the debate, but a solution to both could be linked.
While Everton don’t have the luxury of moving in to a ready-made stadium like some of their Premier League rivals, including West Ham United and Manchester City, they do have the exciting prospect of a new stadium, which could form part of a regeneration scheme in the North of Liverpool, which may well prove attractive to potential investors, should the scheme develop.
On potential investors, the club have been criticised by some fans for not revealing who they have been in talks with or the ‘asking price’. Clearly revealing either would not be expected or good practice.

While moving to a new stadium is on the list of things to do, the safeguarding of the playing squad is at the top of the agenda. The club has been clear in stating that investing in the team is the top priority.
Kenwright has continually backed Martinez - and David Moyes before him - in the transfer market and leads a club boasting a 22-year-old striker with over 100 career goals in Romelu Lukaku, a potential future England captain in Stones and a homegrown hero in the form of Wavertree-born Ross Barkley, another player with a bright future for England. There are also a host of international players in Everton’s squad, including Tim Howard, Seamus Coleman, Phil Jagielka, James McCarthy and Kevin Mirallas.
Aiding his managers to build such young, exciting squads with less money than many of his counterparts, it is difficult to understand how the theatre impresario is not given far more credit by fans; let alone these attempts to force him out. He has backed his managers and not interfered, allowing them to do their jobs.

Owing to poor performances both on and off the pitch at the start of the Premier League era, Everton were left behind by the other members of the traditional ‘big five’ of the eighties and have been playing catch-up ever since. Despite the many challenges over the years, Everton are making huge strides thanks in no small part to Kenwright who saved the club in 1999 after making the purchase from former chairman Peter Johnson.
Taking over from a board who perennially battled relegation and brought in players coming towards the end of their careers on sizeable wages, Kenwright and Co set about being shrewd in the market and buying young players with a resale value which would help build up the club in the long-run. That business plan has provided stability and steered Everton away from any potential battles against the drop. The Blues have subsequently finished in the top seven in eight of the last eleven seasons.
While the current board are yet to secure a trophy, Everton have achieved plenty of successes during Kenwright's reign - breaking into the top four to earn a shot at Champions League qualification in 2005 is perhaps one of the greatest achievements by any side in Premier League history.
The current board - who have not taken a penny out of the club - have managed a continuous increase in turnover, which has in turn brought down the club's debt, helping Everton to make a profit last season.

Commercial profits are on the rise while the successful sponsorship deal with Chang beer has spread the club's name around the globe - Everton are currently among the top five fastest growing brands in football.
Everton's wage turnover ratio has also come down, a rarity in the Premier League. With increase in profits and TV money afforded to every top-flight side, the club have built for the future by signing a number of important first-teamers to long-term contracts. Kevin Mirallas and James McCarthy committed to Everton this month with new deals while talented young stars like Lukaku, Barkley, Stones and Luke Garbutt are all tied down for several years.
In the past Everton have been forced to sell for high prices and rebuild but are now in a position where the club do not need to cash in; proved by the Toffees' refusal to accept any bids from Chelsea for Stones.
The club may currently sit bottom of the spending charts but because they have been creative and savvy in the market - landing an England international with a Premier League title winners' medal and Barcelona youngster tipped for a huge future for just over £4m should be commended - they do not necessarily need to splash the cash to show ambition.
With clubs such as Stoke spending more than usual this summer, some fans feel Everton will be caught up. However, there is no certainty some of the star names joining mid-table sides this term will light up the Premier League or prove effective.
Where teams like Leeds and Blackburn gave a roll of the dice in the past and achieved brief success before things fell apart, Everton’s plan is to build for sustained success.
+10
James McCarthy (right) is one of many first-teamers who have comitted his long-term future to Everton
The summer signing of Mason Holgate from Barnsley for an initial £1m continued the club's trend of purchasing young, hungry, talented players in order to create a ‘golden generation’ as stated by manager Martinez.
While those protesting have the eighties heyday at the forefront of their minds and insist the club belongs at the top, the doom and gloom of the nineties should remind them it is a building process.
Everton were transformed from perennial strugglers to a side regularly finishing in the European places under Kenwright. The Blues - the fourth most successful side domestically - are not back at the very top but are showing a clear plan and ambition to return to the summit of the league.
Last season’s disappointing 11th placed- finish should not detract from the progress made either, certainly after Everton achieved a club record points total in the Premier League during Martinez's first season on Merseyside. The Spaniard called for unity when quizzed on the current protests carried out by a minority of supporters. Everton's stance on Stones shows the club are progressing and should bring everybody at the club together.
Evertonians have been patient in the hunt for silverware but giving the current regime the chance to build and help the squad realise its full potential could certainly be worth the wait.
Spin at its finest here, people.

What kind of sway must Kenwright have on the meeja?.. I'm tempted to imagine this brutal influence built on fear and an ability to blacklist people from ever writing again...
...but then I remember that it's him and that if you went to a Blood Brothers performance and looked at the theatre-goers it would probably be a cross-section of Trinity Mirror employees.
