• Reading this rest of your post makes me sad Darrel. I am a cradle to grave Evertonian, or at least I always thought I would be, but “that something inside so strong” is slowly being replaced by a feeling of anger, although that might be the wrong word because it’s more a feeling of apathetic boredom, that only becomes painful, when I look at things a little bit closer, which is something your excellent (sadly) post, has made me do.rnrnKeep the faith, I’ve been keeping the faith for f***ing years, but without ambition, we might as well be dead...

The Premier League is the cash cow of European football, and that is particularly true of a club wth a brand new 52,000 stadium and all the commercial opportunities that opens up. Everton have the opportunty to become a very wealthy club, but this summer’s transfer spend will tell us a lot about the extent of TFG’s ambition. The real question is how much they will allow Moyes to spend, given he has 12 months left on his contract and doesn’t seen aligned with their long term strategy i.e. focussing on young talent and the Academy?...
