• Stu, my own deeply personal hunch is that this is Moyes\' final season as a manager. Anywhere. If I was a betting man I\'d take a longshot that this time next year he\'ll be in an office down the hall from Kinnear and Cox, and we\'ll be talking about the new guy with great excitement.rnrnMy #3 option was satiric, but it\'s very real on the pages of TW. Lots of folks here think Friedkin is enamoured only with Roma and has little interest or ambition for Everton aside from keeping us mid-table and cashing in on HDS. rnrnBut the revenue connection to success on the pitch is obvious. The more revenue you bank, the better you can compete to sign the most expensive players. Kinnear talked about SCR in very specific terms in that interview. ...

• Mike, #42, I think your 3 option is wrong. I doubt any fan thinks Friedkin lacks brains and ambition (not sure you maintain billionaire status without it) - the question always remains how that translates to success for Everton and also how you measure that success.rnrnIncreased revenue is a success, no doubt about it, but in pure footballing terms it is not.rnrnAs for not sacking Moyes, that\'s the brains taking over the heart of the fans I\'d assume. Sacking Moyes whilst you are successfully increasing revenue probably doesn\'t make financial sense. I get that tbh.rnrnHowever, when Kinnear talks about cup runs then history with Moyes as manager would suggest they will be disappointed again. That\'s where I find that statement a bit disingenuous, Moyes has no track record of achieving success in any domestic cup and if that is a genuine ambition (and 90% of his conversations with the owners aren\'t about revenue) then I think they would\'ve sacked Moyes. Diffi...

• If we really will make £300m next year,, that gives us £255m SCR to play with at 85% and given our current player costs are at most £200m and according to AI are closer to £150m, that gives us at roughly £75m headroom still (and yes that includes signing so far, see my link above)rnrnThat £75m, the way SCR works, would be enough to buy 3 £60m players on £200k a week on a 5 year contract and still have some change.rnrnSorry can\'t see it and I\'ll tell you now it won\'t happen, we operate in the £15-25m range. ...

• I'd say all four, Herbert family. Branthwaite, George, Rohl and Hackney will all be in the 11. And what do you mean "so-called"? Garner's and Norgaard's eventual returns would endanger Rohl and/or Hackney, but they're still legitimate starters....

• Mike @ 54, what the chances of those 4 so called starters being selected for the Palace game?rnrnKnowing Moyes, pretty slim I would think. Maybe 3 at a push, but we know Moyes likes to stick with his (to him), tried and trusted....
