It was mentioned a while back that several clubs are in similar financial positions/ problems to us. With the recent news on City, is it possible to list which teams these are Ed and what their problem seems to be? It would be interesting to get a wider context of how much trouble we are in.

BR2019-20

{Ed002's Note - Everton's problems are nothing like Manchester City - they simply live well beyond their means. The same is true of Aston Villa. Birmingham City are on their second points deduction whilst Sheffied Wednesday and Derby have been charged. It is a range of offences including over-valuing the sale of their grounds (which could be an additional issue for Aston Villa).}

Cheers Ed. What are the main revenue streams for the clubs? I’m guessing ticket sales, sponsorship, money from selling players, TV money and merchandise sales are all major parts of income - where else can clubs make significant amounts?

For Everton to be able to afford the more expensive lifestyle, I'm guessing the new stadium may go a bit of a way to providing more ticket sales but wouldn’t think it would make too much of a difference.

{Ed002's Note - For Premier League clubs, broadcasting is the largest revenue stream, typically followed by of commercial/sponsorship and the match day income (which is very low for Everton - as a percentile the lowest in the PL). The new stadium will cost around £500M and will give the club crippling debt - the club already being seriously loss making and now mortgaged with a third party.}

Cheers again for the quick reply Ed. I’m guessing this means the new stadium may not happen then if it risks us going further into FFP difficulties. It’s a shame as I thought we were regarded in the top 30 richest clubs in the world.

{Ed002's Note - The stadium is unrelated to FFP as it is excluded. What it gives the club is very signifocant debt.}

Just a thought - given how highly Ancelotti is regarded, how come Napoli got rid of him Eds? I know he had been in a small slump but would have expected him to be given more time there, especially seeing as they are through to the next stage of the champions league. Is there something going on behind the scenes with him or was it the Napoli hierarchy being unreasonable?

BR2019-20

{Ed002's Note - It was to do with a club overwhelmed by an owner intent of complete control. It is falling apart.}

Cheers ed2. Hopefully their loss will be our gain.

. just as long as Ed25 doesn’t endorse him like he has the last couple.

{Ed025's Note - i know BR im a jinx...when i go on a boat they shoot an albatross for good luck.. :)

After reading lots of comments on here (especially the Ed’s) it certainly looks like Silva’s time is up and his days are numbered. Question is: when does he go? I don’t see Dunc as caretaker manager tomorrow doing anything for us - he’s been there since 2014 and I haven’t seen much impact on the attack. It’s arguable he’s part of the problem. Sitting in the relegation zone doesn’t make us an attractive prospect and neither is the high turnover of managers.

Do we try and get someone in over this busy period? Wait until the New Year? Keep Silva until end of season and see if we can muster enough points to get to 40?

Then there’s the question - Who do we go for? An upcoming manager from Championship? Overseas manager with no premiership experience? Current Premiership manager (can’t think of anyone decent who suites the club and willing to come) ? Is sticking with Silva less of a risk?

The talk of Rafa, Moyes and Hughes can’t be the solution. I’d rather see someone like Peter Reid be caretaker manager till the end of the season and appoint in Summer. I think we are really looking at barrel scraping if we look to appoint now.

Whatever happens, it feels like we are in a mess and it’s of our own doing: unbalanced squad; not replacing players leaving; injuries possibly down to poor training techniques as Ed mentioned. Lots of worrying things on and off the pitch.

{Ed0666's Note - I’ve said this so many times It’s getting nauseating. You need Rafa Benitez. He’s knows the city, his family is settled in Liverpool. He is a winner, he has incredible credentials, he is not a yes man, he can handle a challenge and above all he puts the onus on not losing a game first and anything else is a bonus. You need an infrastructure you need a blueprint which Rafa represents. Benitez is a short, medium and long term option and maybe he’s not a sexy one, maybe he doesn’t have swag and maybe you’re mob think he’s a fat Spanish waiter but he’s the best guy out there for you’re current predicament. You guys are in the bottom 3 of the the league in all seriousness which world class manager is gonna run into you’re arms?


1.) 04 Dec 2019 23:25:18
Benitez won't touch Everton.

{Ed0666's Note - Why not? He’s not gonna get the top jobs in World football any more. I’d think he’d relish the challenge to get Everton back on their perch.


2.) 04 Dec 2019 23:30:48
Totally agree with you Ed.


3.) 05 Dec 2019 01:02:26
Been saying for weeks we should try and get Benitez, glad you are singing from the same hymn sheet Ed.

{Ed0666's Note - hes the clear and obvious candidate mate. Who cares if he has a red history? The guys a consummate professional and will sell his own kids to be the best he can be in any role he commits to. What he did at Newcastle was nothing short of a miracle, imagine if he had some money to spend which he would do at Everton and a blueprint (pardon the pun)


4.) 05 Dec 2019 06:31:15
Pretty sure he won't come to Everton. Yes he would be an ideal appointment but can't see it happening!


5.) 05 Dec 2019 09:40:32
Big Sam all is forgiven.


6.) 05 Dec 2019 06:22:38
I’m not sure Ed0666. The ‘small club’ comments might still irk some of the fans/ people at the club. Plus would he work under a DoF? He come across as someone who likes to be in control of all aspects of the club and is another fan of zonal marking which hasn’t been a great success at the club under Silva.

I don’t know who the answer to the problem is. I think that’s the problem for most Evertonians at the moment. There is not one stand out candidate and all the ‘options’ seem unconvincing.

{Ed0666's Note - Mate it’s a fallacy Rafa uses just zonal marking he has a flexible approach depending on the opposition.

What are the options to get us out of this mess Ed2?

BR2019-20

{Ed002's Note - A significantly higher turnover (which is unlikely) or significant sales (unlikely).}

How worried should we be Ed?

BR2019-20

{Ed002's Note - I would not worry about the money as it generally confusses. Regardless, Everton cannot bear significant losses this season without then having an FFP issue with the Premier League and they already have one which could impact any European competition. The club should be looking to be run on a more sustainable basis/ They are not the only Premier League side on the edge.}

Although he’s only been manager for a week, he has been working with these players for years as a coach.

No one is doubting his passion for the club but I’m not convinced he’s managerial material yet. In both Chelsea and Man Utd games we had around 30% possession and were fortunate not to concede more than one. We are still shaky at the back and not setting the world on fire (or even Goodison on fire) up front.

He’s been at the club since 2014 and it would be strange to not attribute some of the issues of the last few seasons with him. Have the last two results been part of the ‘new manager’ effect? He is a step in the right direction compared to Silva but that’s no real accolade to be fair.

It’d be great to see if he can win a few more games but I’m not sold that he is the man for the top job yet.

Brank, I hope you’re just winding Ed up.

With 93 mins gone and 1 min left we have the ball in the centre of the park after the restart - how we didn’t manage to either keep the ball or play it into their half and keep it there is beyond me. I’m guessing the subs were to eat up time but the game management by the players was poor. All that hard work and dropped 2 points. Absolutely crazy.

On the positive side - 12 points more and we should be safe.
