• Jay 34 - I don't think it makes a jot of difference who the director of football is.rnrnThe footballing world isn't in a rush to buy Patterson, Mcneil, Alcaraz or Keane. They might be squad fillers on deadline day, but no one is going to use their initial transfer spend on bringing those in.rnrnSame on Richarlison. The price of Richarlison is going down by the day. No one is going to pay what spurs are asking for him now, when you can get the price down considerably on deadline when they need to get rid.rnrnThe transfer domino effect is still to happen. Most transfers occur after the big clubs have bought what they want, and the trickle effect occurs thereafter.rnrn...
  Ian Bennett in Stoke City vs Everton - Match preview and team news
• Thanks Anthony, but after all this time I\'d like to think fans still somehow consider themselves to be very far removed from turkeys voting for Crimbo, because that\'s how taken for granted us lot have been for decades by those in the boardroom.rnrnUntil that changes us lot are victim to an eternally broken record of mediocrity on the pitch, as per NOW. ...

• Phil (33): We have a team of Pickford Röhl O\'Brien Branthwaite Anzou Hackney Garner Armstong KDH George Barry-Beto … So who is not good enough - apart from the 17 goal a season striker.rnrnNearly all of them just played in a dreadful performance at Stoke today. That XI would struggle to finish 15th next season. Who on earth would even begin to be satisfied with a window with one genuinely new addition?rnrn‘And if we get a new RB, who is Röhl going to replace??’rnrnIs this the most hilarious reason/excuse we have heard so far for not getting a new right-back: where would poor merlin play if we got one?rnrn‘Maybe the recruitment team isn\'t doing a bad job. We moan like mad, but who needs to be replaced from that team??’rnrnOne of the more misconceived statements that I have read on here in a very long while.rnrnWho on earth judges a recruitment team on the basis of doing little or nothing? Who would ever judge the need for new players by the sta...
  Paul Griffiths in Stoke City vs Everton - Match preview and team news
• Good shout Don but not sure it will work.rnrn I mean they had the cheek to raise our season ticket prices but cap match day ticket prices meaning fans can pay less to choose when they feel like going over fans who paid for all tickets upfront.rnrnOnce the season tickets were sold they have the bulk of the money anyway.rn...

• Just why anyone of us is even slightly surprised by our pre-season friendlies is beyond me. rnrnCourtesy of the decades-long gross negligence/greed in our boardroom we\'ve had to endure hopeless pre-seasons in preparation for no chance-of-a-trophy dozens-of seasons. rnrnFriedkin is showing himself to be as bogus as any of his predecessors when it comes to providing entertaining football for his core base as a viable football club, NAMELY, US FANS! rnrnWithout us in his stadium his Everton investment all but collapses, maybe except for rugby games.rnrnMaybe we should think about that, as soon as possible. ...

• A proper rain on the parade. I think we probably have enough to avoid relegation but without improved options, we will be dropping further, not rising.rnrnIt\'s sad to be supporting Everon these days for those who know how far we\'ve fallen....
