Rumours that Kevin Malone has flown to the UK to try and sort a deal to buy us. this surely has to be better than 777 getting control.
1.) 06 May 2024 08:30:34
Looks like he will fit the bill. Poor track record and signs players on high wages. Oh dear here we could go again lol.
2.) 06 May 2024 10:14:32
Pure speculation all of this none of us know what 777,Malone or any other potential buyers are likewe can only go by what the rags tell us, we all thought Moshiri was our Saviour and so did the press, look where that got us.
3.) 06 May 2024 13:50:04
I just read that a reliable source has said he's heard nothing about this new investor so no point worrying about weather there suitable or not.
4.) 06 May 2024 15:00:02
Apparently this New takeover with Malone if it happens will carry with it very high interest rates, sounds very scary to me.
{Ed025's Note - im just sitting back and letting it play out GB, there is nothing we can do to influence things so what will be will be mate, we are in a big heap of trouble and we just have to hope that the players in this money go round come up with something that will benefit the club...but im not holding my breath..
5.) 06 May 2024 15:25:38
Maybe it's a ploy to jerk 777 to close out the deal. I would prefer they get out of the deal.
6.) 06 May 2024 15:32:53
After all we have gone through with point deductions appeals etc etc we get out of that but we are still in deep doo doo, it never bloney stops mate.
7.) 06 May 2024 16:06:28
I've just red a article stating wealthey Arab's will make there interest known this week.
8.) 06 May 2024 17:36:36
Hope they have plenty of camels and barrels of oil.
05 May 2024 02:47:55
Seems like Spuds are looking at Onana. Rickie apparently is surplus to requirements there, maybe a swap?
ManUre are looking at cash plus Maguire for Braithwaite (please God, not Harry) .
1.) 05 May 2024 09:57:40
Can’t swap Onana for Ricky. We need money. Which is why swapping Branthwaite would also be a no brainier.
2.) 05 May 2024 10:06:59
Wage bill needs reducing also, that would be doing the polar opposite. Won’t happen.
3.) 05 May 2024 13:33:31
Maybe that would depend on other incomings/ outgoings. I’d swap Richy for Onana in a heartbeat.
4.) 05 May 2024 16:17:16
It would be like Pienaar all over again JB.
5.) 05 May 2024 16:37:20
Richy’s only 26!
6.) 06 May 2024 11:03:53
What don't you guys get? We can't swap one player on a lower wage for another player on a higher wage.
We need to reduce our wage bill and do cash sales only. No swaps.
10 Jul 2022 13:44:51
Jack Wilshire is available. Are rumours true that we've offered him a 5 year deal?
1.) 10 Jul 2022 14:25:22
6yrs on £200k per week.
2.) 10 Jul 2022 15:46:40
? luckily he’s retired.
3.) 10 Jul 2022 16:15:00
With the offer we’ve made him he’s happy to come out of retirement.
4.) 10 Jul 2022 18:59:53
With that offer I would come out of retirement!
5.) 10 Jul 2022 22:42:55
It’s a 12 year deal!
29 Nov 2021 17:51:54
Rafa will have us mid table no problem. sacked at end of the season and will swap places with Howe.
1.) 29 Nov 2021 18:37:36
Really?
01 Jul 2021 02:04:37
Doesn't matter whether you wanted Rafa or not, he's here now and I hope everyone gives him a fair chance. Let's give him at least a whole season to see how he performs.
1.) 01 Jul 2021 02:31:27
Agreed, we are truly lost if this doesn’t work out so everyone needs to get behind him.

Seems like the Premier League were correct for once in not rushing to approve 777. I think we would be on the brink of extinction if they took over.
Moshiri has dragged us into the gutter and now wants to run away. Hopefully he will never again be seen at Goodison.
MSP seem to be in the box seat and hopefully with some debt restructuring, we can slowly start to turn our finances around.
If we need to sell then do it early so replacements can be brought in. Whoever goes isn't irreplaceable so let's just get it done.
To all those at Goodison today. make it shake with noise.

It's going to be an 'interesting' summer ahead for us. more charges maybe? . administration maybe? . new owners? . top stars sold?
Realistically what's the best outcome we can expect from all this turmoil?
1.) 07 May 2024 05:10:54
There's not an awful lot of glimmers of hope around
We have Moshiri who might have come with the best intentions but took the worst advice he could, spent millions on poor players and agents and has given up on Everton and wants to get out with the best deal possible to him, with the total emphasis on him with no concern where it leaves us
We have the FA who will be criticised no matter what they do. Allow 777 to buy us and watch them asset strip us or ban them from buying and have us say they forced us into administration
We have a stadium near completion but it's costing far more than we can really afford with little or no hope of paying off the loan interest, let alone the capital
All we can hope for is a white knight riding to our rescue but I can't see them on the horizon but that's the only happy ending available to us
Moshiri won't help us
777 can't help us
The FA are helpless
The stadium will cost us.
2.) 07 May 2024 08:09:14
Could be worse could be a man u fan watched them get pumped by Palace hope somebody's in Braithwaites ear telling him to stay well clear toxic club toxic fanbase.
3.) 07 May 2024 08:28:46
It is going to be interesting but just remember once a blue always a blue.
4.) 07 May 2024 10:56:18
Always a Blue Penysarn
I'm in my seventies now and much too late to change
It would ne nice though to have something else to smile about other than avoiding relegation
We're better than that.
5.) 07 May 2024 11:51:35
I’m 67 like you seen a lot happen at Everton, and remember my dad taking me to my first game when I was 7,we are better that that, just me and I like the new ground but will be sad to leave Goodison so onwards and upwards mate.
6.) 07 May 2024 12:52:52
WT realistically doesn't seem to exist with Moshiri, without evidence I admit but my suspicion is a certain Russian is still the prime mover. It just makes no sense that Moshiri is wedded so firmly into a 777 takeover.
{Ed025's Note - i heard that Moshiri has signed an exclusivity agreement with 777 DFS, and thats why nobody else is coming forward mate..
7.) 07 May 2024 13:22:51
My hopes. New owners with successful sporting background, financially stable, new DOF, manager, coaches, long term emphasis on youth development, slow 3-5 year climb up the table to regular top 6, exciting stylish play, full stadium a noisy fortress. My thoughts. Fekk all changes and doom and gloom ahead.
8.) 07 May 2024 13:30:11
I understand the worry over administration however I just don't see Moshiri allowing us to go this way, it just isn't in his best interest.
If the worst happens and we do go into administration, this is the season to take the hit as we will likely stay in the Prem as I don't see us losing against Shefield and can't see Luton winning, therefore 9 point deduction and we are still safe.
If administrators are called in then they will look to run the business as best they can meaning trying to sell ( not to 777) , however they will have to asset strip so there goes our best players and potentially our new stadium.
There is a long list of creditors, however key is that 777 are way down the list as HMRC, Transfer money owed and other football related payments have priority.
I just hope there is a white knight on a charger out there, however our best option is Moshiri doing what's right for the club, while saving himself from a massive financial hit.
9.) 07 May 2024 17:44:34
ED The bloke is a qualified CA, he has been on some of Usmanovs best boards. That is my point, how is a supposed switched on bloke like him suckered into such an agreement. Methinks something smells and perhaps the Prem have sussed.
{Ed025's Note - he has no clue about football at all DFS, he sought answers from sharks who had no interest bar from feathering their own nests mate..
02 May 2024 04:37:11
I honestly can't see 777 officially owning our club. If it was going to happen then I think it would've already.
Our debt wouldn't put off an oil rich country and the positives far outweigh the negatives. Premier league membership, new stadium and best fans will surely make us an attractive proposition.
Get Tim Cahill as the public face of the take over and I think we'd all be happy blues this summer.
1.) 02 May 2024 07:50:03
Rock and a hard place springs to mind?
2.) 02 May 2024 12:01:50
It will end up being a 777 and MSP board by the end of May, it's the only option currently as there are no other options on the table.
3.) 02 May 2024 16:13:01
MSP I would take now. I just don't know why Moshiri thought 777 were a best option.
{Ed025's Note - me too mate..
4.) 02 May 2024 18:57:10
The reason the middle east won't invest is because moshiri is a property investor and the stadium won't be part of the deal. There's no chance he's letting that go and will charge Everton ridiculous money to rent it. Better off staying at goodison under new owners.
5.) 02 May 2024 19:07:00
His neighbour probably told him that they were a great option.
29 Apr 2024 03:56:56
Looks like the possible sale of Braithwaite is the most likely way of balancing the books.
ManUtd are sniffing around so what would be the sensible price?
I have a horrible feeling that we will see Maguire in Royal Blue next season as part of a player plus cash deal.
1.) 29 Apr 2024 08:13:57
I don't see Maguire taking a big enough pay cut to sign for us and I wouldn't want him anyway
Branthwaite - I wouldn't take less than 75m and would hope an auction takes it higher.
2.) 29 Apr 2024 08:15:12
Whatever they very rarely pay the full amount up front anyway, so would hope the club try to keep him. Onana would be my first preference to sell, lads hardly played anyway.
3.) 29 Apr 2024 09:02:24
I can also confirm utd have been making enquiries for branthwaite, hopefully don't end up with any of utds deadwood and don't end up getting are trolleys pulled down on price.
4.) 29 Apr 2024 10:10:35
The club have the 4th best goals against in the Premiership this season. Credit to Pickford, Tarkowski, Branthwaite and a mix of fullbacks. I feel it’s best to continue that into next season if possible. I know finances will take priority but the club should try and hang on to Branthwaite for as long as possible, but if he has to go then demand maximum money they can get. Any replacement for him will probably less quality.
It looks like a new RB may be required as Patterson doesn’t seem to fit the managers needs
Any money they have to spend on players needs to go in midfield and attack. Onana has offered nothing in my eyes and Doucoure is questionable as some of his efforts on goal this season have been shocking to say the least.
Wonder if they can find a new Kendall, Ball and Harvey trio types of player somewhere that would solve a lot of issues.
I sit on the fence regarding Dyche continuing to move the club forward and new owners may have their own ideas as to who they want. Some posters have offered suggestions like Led Carsley, who would be a good shout. Although lacking club management experience he will have a good knowledge of all good young players coming up.
Would anyone consider Moyes coming in to replace Thelwall, as Thelwall has questions about his recruitment so far.
5.) 29 Apr 2024 11:39:59
It’s not all Dyche fault he’s inherited most of that team, plus the points deduction on top and mismanagement of the club from above him.
6.) 29 Apr 2024 13:21:21
If we take anything less than £75 million for Jared, to me it just shows that we are still operating in the same old way and nothing has changed.
All this talk of us having to accept a lesser offer because of our predicament is bull. It doesn't and shouldn't change the value of the player that is on the market. If a team wants him, then they should pay what we value him at, especially a team as diabolical as United, who clearly NEED a lad of his talent and scope. The lad is 21 years of age and is already one of the best CB's in the toughest league in the world. It is unlikely that he plays at the Euro's because Southgate is a melt but if he does, his value will only increase or knowing our luck he will get injured and be out for a season haha!
Before anyone comes back with an argument that we are dreaming to ask for such an amount for Jared. Wesley Fofana was sold by Leicester to Chelsea for £75 million in 2022. Fofana had played 20 games in the French league with St Etienne and then 1 full-is season in the PL with Leicester. He broke his leg after that and played a handful of games for them before playing for Chelsea and getting a season-long injury again, having scored 1 goal in his 40+ Prem appearances. He has won the FA Cup with Leicester.
In comparison Jared has gained experience in 4 different leagues already, some in the physically demanding lower leagues of English football. He is 6ft 5 and left-footed, which already makes him a rare commodity in the game. He has scored 4 PL goals in 40+ appearances, won the Dutch Cup with PSV and the European Cup with England U21's.
It is evident which of the two is better PL defender based on the eye-test alone. In todays market with the likes of Caceido, Fernandez, Fofana, Antony, Gvardiol, Maguire, Nunez, Sancho, Cucurella and many more going for stupid fees. 75 m for big Jazza is a steal. That is the absolute minimum that we should take but I would be asking for a lot more to test the mettle of the sides who claim to want him.
7.) 29 Apr 2024 13:47:46
Braithwaite needs to stay at everton if he goes to say man utd with an 80 million price tag their toxic fans will ruin his career same as sancho there's no better place for Jared.
8.) 29 Apr 2024 16:24:01
For the record Branthwaite is two footed and so is comfortable playing right or left.
9.) 29 Apr 2024 18:44:49
Oh and we also have to pay his old club Carlisle a percentage fee for any sell on.
23 Apr 2024 04:08:39
Whatever league we're in next season, a new manager HAS to be the number 1 priority. Would love Potter but doubt he'd come to us. Moyes returning, maybe. If Newcastle replace Howe, I'd try to get him here. going to stop now as my head hurts lol.
1.) 23 Apr 2024 08:57:14
Cmon mate it will be the Premiership eh.
2.) 23 Apr 2024 10:17:49
Moyes has burnt his bridge.
3.) 23 Apr 2024 11:24:10
With finances as tight as they are don’t think a new manager will be an option - frustrating as we’re all bored of the drivel being currently served up even though we have a higher point tally than last season.
However with it looking like we need to sell players to achieve PSR compliance would fans be happy if we sold Onana, branthwaite and Pickford to achieve this and then pay off Dyche and spend money on recruiting a new manager if those sales afforded us to do that?
Or if we could achieve PSR compliance by only selling 2 of those players and have Dyche see out the year left in his contract and then recruiting a new manager be preferable?
4.) 23 Apr 2024 11:24:12
We burnt it for him, met him a few times since, nothing but good words for the Club and us. Called ambition, we all have it.
5.) 23 Apr 2024 11:51:50
Think its crucial that a rebuild structure has to start from the top we all know moshiri doesn't want part of this great club that has clearly been derailed since his ownership of the club 777 still no update on there stance if they do get giving the green light to take over do i want them personally no due to there reputation with other ownership of clubs abroad but is there anyone once actually interested who would consider buying everton if 777 don't and could we go into administration if no takeover is completed be interested get any of the eds thoughts on that situation but basically we need get are wages down so maupay alli gomes keane can go far am concerned would extend gana a 1 year contract if he wants to take pay cut dcl and pickford would consider for good price but can't see anyone interested in dcl due to his injuries braithwaite would love to keep but he will get poached by bigger club and tbh good luck to the lad onana aswell got potential imagine he will be sold but any money we do generate can we trust dyche an thelwell to identify targets am not so sure as for next manager for me i would take moyes yes we know the circumstances in why he left but you can't blame him man united came in for him safe pair of hands knows the club can set a team up to attack an defend in a 90 minute mate that would be my solution potter be good shout but can't see him joining us and my ouysider julien lopetagi fought he done good job at wolves like his set up and attacking philosophy but again would he be interested anyways hope everyone has a good day and hopefully can get a point tommorow against reds tommorow but not holding breath but you never know COYB.
6.) 23 Apr 2024 12:30:08
If we are stuck with Moyes until a takeover is complete or his contract expires.
Someone I would like and who could be available but I know would be out of reach for us ATM is Ten Haag, he is going to leave Man Utd but giving the right environment and backing with us think he could move us on as a club, I know not going to happen and his time at Man U not been great but given a stable well ran club with good youth and decent squad, all of which we ain't but kinda guy a club like us could do a lot worse than once the dust settles and a reset begins.
7.) 23 Apr 2024 12:36:18
* Think we are stuck with Dyche, that should have read.
8.) 23 Apr 2024 12:37:26
Never works when a manager goes back.
9.) 23 Apr 2024 15:07:28
Would be absolutely no point in changing the manager now (I mean he's just bought a track suit) . Wait until we have new owners and let them asses what is needed.
There's been a lot of talk about who is being sold, us having no money to buy bla bla bla. But until we know who our new owners are it's all up in the air.
Let's secure Premiership football for another season then see what comes along.
{Ed002's Note - I don't think you realise how serious the situation is and by mid May the club could be looking to Administration.}
10.) 23 Apr 2024 15:45:29
Ed002 if we do manage stay up and unfortunately do go into administration would we be looking at more points deducted at start of next season and also including the 3rd psr breach over the stadium spending breach aswell mate.
{Ed002's Note - Potentially, but much will depend on timing. Mid May will be critical.}
11.) 23 Apr 2024 16:28:40
All this dross about Dithering Dave Moyes. He may well settle the ship, but after that, spend the next 7-10 years as a nearly man again. The odd top 6 place and venture into Europe, the odd final if lucky. Time to let it rest now and look for a younger manager who wants to be successful and challenge on a regular basis.
12.) 23 Apr 2024 22:02:58
At this time the Stadium 'spending' breach is being challenged. I am not an accountant but my son is, understands the situation and has his own thoughts.
13.) 23 Apr 2024 17:21:30
No worries ed 002 thank you for feedback great information as always shame clubs been handled with idiots in charge of us.
26 Feb 2024 03:05:59
It looks like 777 are more toxic than Moshiri. The Premier league are taking so long investigating their fitness to own and that is obviously a major worry.
I would take Saudi money if it meant stability and clearing out the dead wood we clearly have.
24 Apr 2024 02:54:46
Maybe promote Lee Carsley with Leighton Baines as his assistant. If we're going to risk appointing any young manager then sense would say those two as they are steeped in Everton traditions.
22 Apr 2024 03:28:06
First two were not clear and obvious errors however the third one was a stone wall penalty. Young is a liability and needs to be left at home on game day.
19 Apr 2024 03:34:41
Imo, the sooner the European super league becomes official the better. The big 6 are dictating just about everything now and the EPL and FA are allowing it just to keep them happy.
Without a byoant pyramid, football dies.
UTFT NSNO.
18 Apr 2024 03:43:50
I can reliably go back as far as Latchford, Lyons and King. I remember Gordon Lee looking like an undertaker to me as a kid.
Oh those mid 80's were something special. Imagine having that midfield now.
16 Apr 2024 13:08:15
Good effort Woburn lol.
