Why we dont 'need' investment

[Steven Naismith]

Well where is Moyes going to get that ten million with the current board in charge? We've sold off pretty much every saleable assest we had and we're crap at marketing the club and making money through merchandise and sponsorship deals.

Even kenwright admits we need investment, ffs

Yes I want investment but i don't want silly money being thrown around, a Bill Kenwright with more money would be exactly what we need now

 

[electricblue]

Bill loves this.

But surely there board must have a say in who they sign .

Why hire a manager if that's the case? You bring in a manager and trust him to pick the right players and in Villa and the RS's case they mostly didn't. And in our case, he mostly has.

we get no investment and moyes leaves at end of season, enough said

 

[davek]

This is why we'll always remain also rans.

Unbelievable.

Well, every cloud.

Still need cover for that right-back position and back-up for Baines.

Also, I wouldn't mind an additional center midfielder.

I think we can put up with are RB options for this season. We could probs do with some LB cover but i dont think its a desperate situation with us having Distin who can fill in, Neville and possibly Garbutt could step in if needed?!.

Agree with you on a central midfielder though. If were going to use Felli further forward more often this season and we was to get injuries to likes of him and Gibbo then we will be short in there. Ossie can do a job and Pienaar if asked but the likes of Heitinga and Neville i dont want to see in there for long periods and the likes of Junior & Barkley arent deemed ready so maybe we could do with a midfielder on loan to boost numbers and who will do a job when needed?!

He has three and a half (soon to be four) million reasons not to.

There's three players who leave us in big trouble if they get injured because of our thin squad, Jelavic, Baines and Gibson.

 

[bluejock]

Utter sh*te.

I'd like to see Everton win the league before I die. This won't happen without investment.

NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM

What we have is not f*cking optimum.

Other clubs like Pompey and Villa got that investment and tried to get up there and look at them now, actually look at the ****e before anyone else! They've got **** loads of money and spent **** loads yet this season they'll be happy with top 6 and they'd take a draw against city tomorrow, I've never known them like this as I'm only young and it's great seeing them **** up and us excel on little funds once again

Fair enough mate you are only young. But that is what this board has done, lowered the expectation of our fan base. You only have to look at our motto, this club should be challenging for major honours and to do that you need investment. Something this board is unable to deliver

 

[Wyn]

I take your well made point, but unless the current board have a strategic plan of how we redevelop the old lady we will continually see Goodison decay and with it future revenue streams. I am not a blue unionite but they have a valid viewpoint that we must have a business plan that allows us to redevelop Goodison. The clock is ticking

Trust me mate I want to win any sort of trophy more than anyone and hopefully one day win the league and try and dominate! The only way to do this at the moment is do a city or Chelsea, but the bubble with money in football will burst soon enough and the way our club is ran and doesn't spend more than it is bringing in will keep us safe and sound where as other clubs like the ****e like city like Chelsea will all be ****ed

It does though. We lose 6 million a year.

Investment is only as good as the way it's spent.
To throw forward poor examples is flawed for obvious reasons, imagine Moyes having that kind of money to spend.
