Who do you blame?

[Goat]

The fall out from Romgate has been bouncing around the forum, its hard to gauge the true feeling due to the volume of posts, just an interesting poll from my POV to see which side of the fence everybody sits on.

Ironically there will be no fence option, its a straight up brawl.

Option 1 - The Board - Lots of pie in the sky talk in the meeja, no doubt most coming from within the club, sometimes even quotes from Moshiri, promised war chests of 100m, its not enough to be a museum, monopoly money, Jim White chatting bubbles, certain posters on social media and fan forums blowing Moshiris trumpet. Outcome = A projected net spend of minus 8m over 2 transfers windows, ambition shown=ZERO, Stadiums built=ZERO.

Option 2 - Lukaku - A player in the form of his life, scoring superfotgols for fun, a young hungry player who wants to see the club progress, the actions of the Board are not matching the words from their mouths. A player showing ambition to kick on.

Now granted, the OP shows which side of the fence I sit on, but everybody has a vote, I realise theres loads of topics on this subject, but would be nice if we could gauge peoples views in terms of actual numbers, so hopefully this thread isnt merged for at least a day or 2 just to get a strawpoll.

I blame the board.

No shortage of talk.

Few signs of action.

Yet.....

I applaud Roms sentiment and agree wholeheartedly with much of what he apparently said. But I expect all of our players to be consummate professionals both on and off the pitch and think he could have easily had the effect he desired behind closed doors - and without fuelling all of these brain dead whoppers across the country that call themselves professional journalists.

Lukaku: board's ambition.

Koeman: up to the board in dealing with the contract.

That's pretty much obvious.

I dislike both parties.

3) the media.

Rom's article has been overblown so much, it's now a devastating attack on Everton, he's now a 'want-away striker', he's 'refusing to sign' (clearly no such thing as ongoing negotiations) etc.

No party is innocent, but it's been blown out of all proportion by the usual suspects.

I think it was all agreed verbally but Rom and Raiola moved the goalposts.

Board at fault too though for not nailing this down.
