Everton Rumours

29 Apr 2024 19:34:36
Ndidi from Leicester on a free transfer being mentioned in the rags.

29 Apr 2024 22:26:09
Be surprised if some of the top half teams weren’t interested GB.

22 Apr 2024 16:13:31
Not looking too good for 777 if we are to believe the rags, apparently Moshiri is looking elsewhere for potential investment, hmmmm.

22 Apr 2024 16:35:25
Not opposed to that GB. Could be a blessing in disguise.

22 Apr 2024 17:46:12
Would think if we change to different potential buyers it will take months again for the Premiership to decide if the new buyers can meet the requirements needed.

22 Apr 2024 17:50:28
His boss prob told him to get my money back.

22 Apr 2024 19:27:55
Price must be dropping week on week.

22 Apr 2024 21:39:44
Now ya getting it GB.

22 Apr 2024 23:04:14
Amazed it’s taken 7 months for him to seek alternative purchaser - there have been so may red flags around 777 I’m amazed he’s left it run as long as he has.

For a supposed billionaire he appears to have little sense when it comes to money.

22 Apr 2024 23:40:07
With a step closer to staying in the premiership, a new stadium and changes coming to PSR, now is the time to search for an alternative owner.
It doesn’t make sense to persist with 777, they obviously don’t have the funds for this.
Get out to Qatar and do some begging.

25 Apr 2024 20:07:25
I don't think he can look elsewhere until the deal collapses or Premier league rule it out because of the exclusivity deal they signed not sure.

29 Apr 2024 11:45:55
Rumour is they have until 1st May to resolve. I can only hope the alternative lined up isn't Micky from the market!

18 Apr 2024 00:08:33
With the season coming to an end which players are going to be out of contract and of those who are going to be out of contract who would you want to keep. Obviously we haven't got the luxury of buying decent replacements.
In only asking this as I read DCL only has a year left on his contract. Is this going to go the same way as barkley where we will sell him in January for F all or are we going to let 1 of our only saleable assets go for free and be more in the crap.

{Ed002's Note - I would not have high expectations of significant additions with Everton having to clean up the financial mess they are in. They need to reduce the wage bill further and utilise the cheaper or free options available to them and utilise youngsters where they can. There will also be a need for the sale of players liked by the fans, such as Branthwaite. Leicester, Burnley and Leeds are open to negotiate a soultion to the concerns Everton have about being forced in to Administration which would see a further points deduction and financial constraints which could strangle the club. So a negotiate a solution makes sense - but it could hit the club very hard.
Everton have another eight players who are out of contract in the summer - Harrison (who will return to Leeds), Lonegan, Young, Coleman, Gueye, Dele Alli, Gomes and Danjuma (who will return to Villareal). They have an issue regarding the sale that needs resolving. There are another seven players who will be entering the last year of their contracts. Selling Onana would help them out as any loans or sale of part of the club would only help with the stadium they cannot now afford.}

18 Apr 2024 13:13:53
I don't think we will be negotiating anything with Leicester burnley and Leeds.

18 Apr 2024 14:05:37
Thought Leicester had already been charged for seem season as us and facing a points deduction upon their premiership return.

How can they have grounds. Puzzling.

{Ed002's Note - They were relegated.}

18 Apr 2024 14:22:47
I'd keep dele and gomes if they were happy to sign a massively reduced contract.

18 Apr 2024 14:32:51
Based on what Anom? Both Injury prone and cost us millions over last couple of seasons.

Not seen anything from either to suggest new contracts should be given apart from wishful thinking of they get back to their former selves.

Get rid of lot for me if the money is right. Needs must.

18 Apr 2024 15:06:29
Get rid and start again, younger players from lower leagues we need to bin our current Team absolute tripe.

18 Apr 2024 14:37:26
Are the championship clubs that missed out on promotion going to sue Sheff Utd Ed? They been charged and deductions in place for next season once confirmed back in EFL.

When does this madness stop? Will we be able sue City or Chelsea or others when they finally are dealt with. Massive can of worms and just don't see how they could.

{Ed002's Note - Clubs will seek settlements where appropriate. Everton will not be suing Manchetser City or Chelsea.}

18 Apr 2024 15:53:45
And don't forget to bin Dyche as well 😁.

21 Apr 2024 22:56:21
Is the only way we are getting income into the club through selling players Ed02? No miracle buyer waiting in the wings to rush to our rescue?

If we sell Branthwaite and Onana, we’ll still have no squad or funds to buy players in with. Scary and worrying times to be an Evertonian.

22 Apr 2024 09:13:56
Completing the 777 Partners deal is important and to be honest it seems not to be getting much closer due to funding converns and concerns over their ability to pass the Owners’ and Directors’ Test. The vultures will be circling already with a strong chance that Everton may need to seek Administration if the MSP loan cannot be paid on time.

24 Apr 2024 14:53:32
I totally agree why would we negotiate anything, we don't have to pay these clubs, this is what the premiership is there for, break the rules you get punished either point, fine or a transfer ban, I'm sure it doesn't say every club a d his . ate who got relegated can fine you as well, that's a joke and I cannot ever see that standing up in any court of law.

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with the clubs "fining" Everton but if legal action is threatened then Everton want to negotiate settlements.}

17 Apr 2024 17:25:31
Bricking it now with the news Branthwaite will likely miss the game. Choice between Godfrey or Keane. Worse still given both right backs are injured, it could be both.
Maybe play 2-5-3, just to keep one of them on the bench :)

17 Apr 2024 17:38:31
DCL and Patterson also doubtful both suffered knocks last game.

17 Apr 2024 17:39:28
Who do we play Seamus is also injured time for youth maybe.

{Ed025's Note - it will be godfrey i fear GB, with the nightmare Keane in the centre mate..

17 Apr 2024 17:48:32
Might as well put Young with them as well mate, never rains but it pours eh.

{Ed025's Note - its a tsunami for us GB..

17 Apr 2024 17:59:13
Better give Noah a ring Ed.

{Ed025's Note - the thing is GB....Noah only had 2 donkeys mate.. :)

17 Apr 2024 18:08:40
Love it Ed made me laugh, the nickname for Guernsey people born and bred here are called donkeys mate.

18 Apr 2024 01:43:27
Could put Garner at RB he did ok for the under 21's in the summer 🤔🤔🤔.

18 Apr 2024 07:19:07
Put Roman Dixon in at rb. Yes he's 17 and has no experience but very highly thought of. Can tackle, likes to get forward, but his main strength is his speed. He's like a bullet out of a gun. Just give the opposition something to think about instead of them knowing which dross we going to be fielding every week (which lack speed too}. And I'd have Gomes as no10 and Warrington in place of Onana. Warrington has more about him than Onana does. But we know the line up before it even gets to the weekend.

19 Apr 2024 14:24:50
Tony would run riot. Bring him back.

17 Apr 2024 16:55:30
Hey Ed 025 I am reading now we could back half a point or less in our appeal, how does that work say we finish 0.5 of a point above the third bottom Team we stay up that's the same as 1 point we still stay up, makes no sense.

{Ed025's Note - it makes no sense to me either GB..

20 Apr 2024 10:06:51
Half a point! I’ve heard it all now.

17 Apr 2024 01:02:10
Reading on the internet that the Reims manager Will Still was spotted at the Chelsea game on Monday. The article suggested he could be seen as a possible replacement for Dyche. Do any eds know if this has any mileage?

{Ed002's Note - Will Still (C) Reims are aware that Still will likely depart in the summer after turning down an improved contract and an extension. Still has made his desire to coach West Ham clear but Sullivan has resisted but that may change in the summer. Sunderland are very keen on Still but it seems unlikely he will want to drop down to the Championship.}

18 Apr 2024 10:27:19
Will still have Dyche no doubt.

19 Apr 2024 14:27:52
Dyche will see out his contract imo, whether in the prem or championship.

15 Apr 2024 18:18:28
Hi Ed025 what do you make of this latest report that the Club will not own our new stadium, sounds to me like we selling our very soul to the devil mate, what is happening.

{Ed025's Note - its just another thing on top of this crap show that is Everton GB, they say it never rains but it pours and thats certainly true with us mate, its one thing after another and nothing surprises me these days and to be honest i can see us going to the wall, and do you know what...sometimes i think the sooner the better..

15 Apr 2024 19:07:51
I keep thinking we will stay up this season and then I think what is going to happen to our Club next, it’s just one thing after another mate, then I wake up and say xxxx them we are Everton and we can beat this COYB.

{Ed025's Note - you certainly have more resolve than me GB, these days i tend to wake up and say...i dont really care mate, i have had enough now i think..

15 Apr 2024 19:32:09
Always been a Blue Ed since I was knee high to a grasshopper, if we go down I go with them, but we will stay up and get out of this mess.

{Ed025's Note - so have i GB, but even if we do stay up mate it all starts again next season i feel, im sorry to sound so negative mate but this club have finally broken me im afraid, in my heart i still love the ethos of EFC but these past few years have ground me down so much that i have lost all faith that we will ever become a force again..

15 Apr 2024 20:56:39
Feel exactly the same Ed. We deserve so much better. Far more important things going on than this farce of a club. We need a reset. Simple as.

{Ed025's Note - your dead right Mocker..

15 Apr 2024 22:04:08
I completely agree with you Ed25 and I’m not even 40 yet. Just can’t be doing with building my hopes up every summer to be presented with this cocktail of anger, sadness and complete frustration. It’s doing my health in no ends.

I just wish we could sort ourselves out. If it’s taking this many seasons to do it (and we are still far from being mid table) then we must be rotten to the core.

In a free seasons, there will be a super league of European clubs and you can bet we won’t be part of it or anywhere near it.

{Ed025's Note - and dont deserve to be BR..

16 Apr 2024 03:31:01
You guys were probably not alive the last time we were relegated, I was. I was eleven and it was devastating. I do care Ed025 and put the blame for our demise fully on Blue Bill. He brought in Moshiri and he stood back and allowed him to ruin this club. I never bought on to the "Boys Pen" rubbish, I went in the boys pen once and it was like being in a cage, anyone in their right mind would go in only once. Kenwright sold out to Moshiri because he allowed Bill to remain as Chairman. He must have known that Moshiri was a figurehead for Usmanov. Now we can look forward to the 777 lot, probably being a tenant at our new stadium and owing a fortune at high interest. How can anyone with any business acumen allow us to get to this position?

16 Apr 2024 13:26:57
Spot on BR am 34 meself havnt seen us win anything know more about the reds cabinet and years they won it then me own team has been took from us i honestly think we are gone lads can't see us getting many points between now and then hope wrong.

10 Apr 2024 15:30:35
Apparently 777 have ask for the deadline to be extended for funding or something.

10 Apr 2024 17:49:09
The Times are reporting that 777 want more time to find the funds but are prepared to provided the day to day funding until the end of the season.

10 Apr 2024 17:59:00
If they’re struggling to get funds together then that is very worrying.

10 Apr 2024 21:38:56
Why don't the premier league just grow a set of balls an tell moshiri 777 aren't buying the club so find a new buyer asap.

{Ed025's Note - because they want us to implode financially?..

11 Apr 2024 07:31:36
They are joke 777 and so our prem.

09 Apr 2024 12:43:41
We all love a rumour . Now apparently the sheikh who was going to buy Man Utd is looking at another Prem club.
Cue mass hysteria :)

{Ed025's Note - knowing us Woburn it will be...Sheik N Vac.. :)

09 Apr 2024 12:54:44
Brilliant Ed👌😂😂😂😂. least we'll get some freshness back.

{Ed025's Note - love it mocker..

09 Apr 2024 16:17:32
Hope it's Sheikh Abdul Bin Ding Dong Plentydosh.

10 Apr 2024 08:10:02
Red somewhere he's trying to invest in spurs.

10 Apr 2024 08:56:54
Hope it isn't a rumour.

10 Apr 2024 22:18:08
Another premier club? We better start winning more points than the ones taken from us. I hope that it is true. If we can survive until the new stadium is built then the commercial revenue should be increased substantially, not only by the increased attendance but also by the other activities.

10 Apr 2024 23:13:31
Best Bingo Hall in the North West….

{Ed001's Note - wasn't that the Gainie along Knowsley Road?}

08 Apr 2024 13:56:20
2 points deducted via the bobble.

08 Apr 2024 14:06:03
Great outcome if true.

08 Apr 2024 14:13:31
It's a bloody joke. Punished twice in the same season. Yes ED different periods blah blah. Going to be appealed, so reduced to slap on the wrist. Not fit for purpose.

08 Apr 2024 14:06:03
Great outcome if true.

08 Apr 2024 14:24:35
The club have made a statement they will appeal due to the inconsistency in punishment process.

08 Apr 2024 15:06:00
Could the appeal give a larger points deduction?

Was the Forrest one earlier in the season for this season or previous ones and could they face a further deduction?

08 Apr 2024 15:33:28
It not a great outcome by any stretch of the imagination its a complete and utter farce.

08 Apr 2024 15:36:11
No we won't get a larger deduction as the players for card appeals can. Hence why everyone thought Forest claim of no appeal was utterly baffling. We appeal 100% and hope to get 1 back. Seems the hinge is £18m against the loss revenue of sponsorship from you know who for £20m. let's try not to Ground hog day a few months ago and blindly set off the 02 as some of us have to re re re read the same cut and paste nonsense as per above already.

08 Apr 2024 15:48:33
Do agree with you SA it is a complete farce and shambles.

I was expecting more and so we're others, the levels of inconsistency is comical, but we know our fate now have few PTS gap and the game in hand, think need to move on and see what happens next season with ourselves and others.

08 Apr 2024 18:03:51
This is a huge problem that will not go away. We will be forced to sell our best players at discounted prices since all other teams know that we have to sell. If we don't get our finances in order next year will see further points deducted.

{Ed025's Note - well thats really cheered me up Mike...cheers mate.. :)

08 Apr 2024 20:41:22
Sorry Ed025 but we have to face the facts, we are in deep doo-doo! I wish that I could see the bright side like GB but at the moment the light at the end of the tunnel has gone out.

{Ed025's Note - sorry Mike i was being pedantic there mate, i think you are right, no i know you are right, im so disappointed with this club and what it has become that i sometimes mask that with an attempted bit of humour....it seems that im not very good at it.. :)

08 Apr 2024 20:44:28
Disgrace the way the club is being treated. wouldn't do it to any teams in the top 6? Getting punished twice in one season is outrageous.

{Ed025's Note - we have made a lot of mistakes at board level Grantham, and we did deserve sanctions, but this to me is blitzkrieg mate and it seems they wont stop until plucky old Everton are dismantled bit by bit mate, i do believe they have an agenda against us..

09 Apr 2024 17:02:04
Are the majority of cost due to the stadium? Will this all end when we move in?

I don't understand how Everton just hemorrhages money.

The majority of big earners are gone and the net spend over the past few years is extremely healthy. Or even with all that are the current wages just unsustainable? I don't see how it can be reduced significantly more and stay competitive in this league. Is Evertons income just extremely low compared to other pre teams? It is it all down to the stadium?

{Ed002's Note - it has built up with the stadium, the debt, the spending on transfers and the wages. It needs the ownership issue resolved as the first step.}

08 Apr 2024 13:18:02
Potter has turned down Ajax. Obviously got something lined up for summer.

Us, Utd, England🤔.

08 Apr 2024 15:38:07
Not us not England. Why Ajax? He's got to get this next one right or he does untold damage to his career. Also he got £12m from Chelsea so he can keep the heating on a little longer. I wonder if Howe will get the bullet in summer 🤔.

08 Apr 2024 16:07:23
Won't be us FBS agree, tho England strong possibility if Southgate as touted goes to Utd.

Thought all along Howe goes this summer and obvious candidate for us and the England job.

Don't think we get either for now.

08 Apr 2024 16:53:20
Southgate to Utd makes me laugh. We are stuck with alladyche until his contract runs out.

08 Apr 2024 17:27:13
You know Potter has tasted the “ high life” and apart from becoming a multi millionaire (only football) , it didn’t turn out to well. He might just fancy the challenge if we stay in the Prem that is.

08 Apr 2024 18:26:36
He’ll find someone much more attractive than us at the moment. We are a mess. No one is wanting to touch us with a barge pole. We can’t get sponsors, players or even a buyer. It’s just crazy.

Potter will guide his time until someone else is promoted somewhere and he’ll take a job there. West Ham, Villa, Newcastle… he’ll take something like that.

Why come to a club where the owner is clueless and the new potential owners are disliked at their other clubs.

08 Apr 2024 19:34:52
Graham Potter’s been found out in England. I’d rather have Dyche.

{Ed025's Note - your right Peter, we wouldn,t want to play like the Brighton side of 2 years ago mate.. :)

09 Apr 2024 17:04:33
Is Howe genuinely under pressure? Sure I read he was an Everton fan, that might just be a lie though.

{Ed001's Note - he is and he is. Very much an Everton fan.}

10 Apr 2024 09:32:54
…. thing is Potter left 2 years ago and they were playing much the same, probably better. I’ve never understood the Potter fascination. With what we have at our disposal there’s no way we could play the same as Brighton 2 years ago anyway. I think Brightons set up behind the scenes is what we should be looking towards, not the ex manager that has been found out at this level (Chelsea)

{Ed002's Note - All of the staff left.}
