• Mike We've already established that you happy clapped the koeman/ Walsh spending spree. Those who were around will also know you happy clapped Brands when he was signing Yerry and a whole host of other crocks. You then lost your mind completely telling us Carlo was bringing in a bunch of superstars. You'll understand why so many people are struggling to get on board as you evangelise over the latest transfer err....."Strategy" After spending years happy clapping the club to the brink of oblivion. You are now calling for people to have patience with these dithering f***ers who continue to fiddle while Rome burns. Yep. You've won me over. Where do I sign ?...

• That\'s my feeling too Steve. We have two new players on board so far who were not with us last season. Hang on, has Norgaard actually been unveiled? rnrnThe 2 buys are not exactly earth-shattering recruitment. For me, so far, I\'m thinking when will we actually see the impacts of this ace recruitment team and all this state-of-the-art diagnostics because we have seen nothing so far. rnrnSome things are yet to change. This is a completely typical Everton window so far after a season where we finished in the same position as the one before.rnrnI do not expect to see last-minute rush buys. That is presumably what our crack recruiters were expensively assembled to prevent. Where is the creative and deeply researched three B\'s type buy that we sorely need? rnrnI can see it already. Well, the ace team have only been around for a year and this diagnostics stuff takes ages to learn.rnrnWe can only hope....

• Steve, in December 2024 we were one point above the relegation zone. And as grindingly miserable as last season sometimes was, especially at the end, the fact is that it was the first season in the last five in which the word “Europe“ was mentioned and the word “relegation“ wasn’t. I didn’t lose a single night sleep last season worrying about whether we were going down. And to me, that’s an improvement, however incremental.rnrnBut yes, we have a long way to go before the improvement on the pitch matches the improvements in the club structure. This is a longer slower process than any of us would like, and the first full summer window for the new recruitment team isn’t exactly making us quiver with excitement. Patience is not something that comes easily to this fan base, but that’s the way it’s going to have to work, because I firmly believe that our new ownership is committed to a slow build, as they did at Roma.rn...

• Mike, it is right that we can’t assess the success of summer recruitment until 1st September. rnrnYou also made an interesting point “everything that could possibly have changed at Everton has changed, from management to finances to business philosophy, and nothing that happened before December 2024 matters a bit now.”rnrnWhat hasn’t changed - yet - are outcomes in terms of football operations. In the 1.5 years that TFG have been in charge, the performances and benchstrength of the Academy teams, Women’s first team squad and Men’s first team squad have not improved significantly since December 2024. rnrnBasis where we stand today, the summer recruitment has also not delivered results. Concluding deals that were set up in previous transfer windows plus one player from the Championship is not moving the needle drastically. Johnston and Norsgaard look like ‘C List’ names from the recruitment and analytics teams’ a global scan of talent for RB and CDM. Cheap,...

• Andy M 38 - I also hate way he tries to put the blame on others, most notably Jordan. How many England caps do you have Skipper knobhead? He has to be replaced as skipper but it looks like he will not be and that he will be a nailed-on starter.rn rn...
  Paul Griffiths in Tarkowski insists Everton can contend at the top despite last year’s late-season slump
• Anthony, would you like to name some of the \"lots of proper clubs who have already done their business\"?rnrnCan you suggest a way we can force City to decide RIGHT NOW on Grealish and loan him back to us immediately?rnrnCan you explain why Everton\'s \"business needs sorting before the pre season\" when most clubs are still dealing on the final day?rnrnAnd since our highest table position last season was 8th, can you explain why the Champions League was \"more than achievable\" and which CL club (or clubs) we should have been able to pass to get in?...
