It would be the perfect way to start our life in the new stadium! COYB!

We could have Roma or another big team as the opposition and everyone can enjoy the new stadium and Seamus's final Everton fling!
What do you think? (By the way the club and especially Seamus have absolutely no idea about this testimonial.)

The Old Lady playing the first match after we leave The Old Lady.
Plus 40 years on we can commemorate the 39 of their fans who lost their lives going to a football match.

Roma is not a bad bet — we need to foster relations with them for the future.

Just a thought to repeat this first fixture in the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock...

Unless I've missed something and there's been an announcement about his future, I can see him re-signing at least for a year; whether that's the best idea to offer him a new contract remains to be seen.
I imagine Seamus will know when the time has come and perhaps move into coaching at some level. He seems to have all the prerequisites to be a role model.
Having said that, he'll probably end up with Frank Lampard at Coventry.

Nothing has been announced about Seamus' retirement plans, but I can't see an offer of a new contract any time soon.
That said, I might be wrong.

I take your point but I just don’t want them anywhere near this - they’d find a way to become the victims!
What about inviting Carlo and his Real Madrid team?

Roma is an obvious shout due to the links we now have, although we did play them last pre-season at Goodison.
Real Madrid, but it wouldn't be with Carlo as he leaves in the summer.
Juventus might be a bit controversial. Leave that for when we play them in Europe.
I wouldn't want Celtic or Rangers or an English team for that matter.
Liverpool. Just no. Maybe a Juventus flag would be better than the Steaua one Tony. With the wording they displayed on a banner at the return leg of their Champion's League fixture several years ago after the Kop's earlier attempt at reconciliation with a banner saying "Amicizia" (friendship).
The response was "Easy to Speak, Difficult to Pardon".
Maybe best not to go down that route. We have more class than them.
And it is the anniversary of Hillsborough today. There have been a lot of posts on social media, many from Evertonians. We have shown our class over the years, giving them nothing but support.
In return we get the Steaua banner in our faces and taunted.

For a man who has been a credit to himself, our club and his profession, since he was signed from part-time football all those years ago.
