I assume that managers representatives will let a club know if their client is interested or not well before an under pressure incumbent is sacked.
Hopefully TFG have their man ready to go and we will see a flurry of activity later this week.

ManUre have apparently made a £50 million bid for Onana. I'd happily drive the lad there myself for that fee.
{Ed025's Note - you could take him in your truck WT.. :)
1.) 23 Jun 2024 12:17:22
Really? On one hand we have people literally crying about us possibly selling a player who has 1 year left and doesn't score goals for a massive profit if rumours true at £35m who cost £1.5m
And then a very young player who is 1 year older than Branthwaite and cost £35m is wanted by Arsenal, Chelsea, ManU, Barcelona, Munich etc and the fee is relatively rumoured to only be £50ishM. The kid is clearly not in a team with the good players he makes look good like he does for his country. Must be the players fault.
2.) 23 Jun 2024 12:18:44
Could put all his possessions in the back Ed. do you think it's a genuine offer or just media rubbish?
{Ed025's Note - i think it might be genuine WT, quite a few clubs are interested in him mate...dont ask me why .. :)
3.) 23 Jun 2024 12:22:04
I'd want aleast 60 for onnana at minimum chelsea paid that for lavia.
{Ed025's Note - get bretto on our negotiations team.. :)
4.) 23 Jun 2024 12:23:09
Excellent news that the Manure are offering over £50 million for Onana and if we can get £37 or near abouts for injury prone DCL that would be great news indeed, keep JB young players coming in will be a new Team when we kick off in the summer, Sean getting deals done early bring it on.
5.) 23 Jun 2024 12:31:36
The lad obviously thinks he can do a lot better for himself so let him go. To me he’s just another Paul Pogba. Has talent but very rarely shows it.
6.) 23 Jun 2024 14:05:25
DCL was a more effective player for us than Onana in my opinion FBS. We now we have to sell someone otherwise we’d keep them all. I’d take 50 for Onana.
7.) 23 Jun 2024 14:35:08
And the same suspects crying over Dobbin, . Small and all kinds of long forgottens. Utterly baffling.
8.) 23 Jun 2024 14:47:19
I think he’s been very good in euros he’s strong can tackle and a decent passer.
9.) 23 Jun 2024 21:51:12
Having a differing opinion to FBS = crying. Hope Dobbin does well, didn’t see enough from him personally. If we can get good money for Onana, we should take it and secure FFP. Think we’ll struggle to find a number 9 that does the job that Dom’s done for us in difficult circumstances, happy to be proven wrong by Thelwell and co of course.
10.) 23 Jun 2024 23:17:28
Spot on FBS. Some go on about how good DCL could be with better players around him but don't apply the same logic to Onana.
I am not too fussed as he clearly wants to go and has high aspirations but the way people talk him down as if he is sh**e is beyond baffling. That being said, I guess football is a game of opinions after all.
11.) 24 Jun 2024 08:30:47
Say what you see. I see a player with a lot of potential who sadly doesn't always show it.
12.) 24 Jun 2024 10:24:40
The lad has undoubted ability, but have to agree he seems more of a Pogba luxury player toe and his heart doesn't seem in it.
He will no doubt go elsewhere and in a possession retaining team and a worker ngolo kante type next to him flourish.
Sadly we simple don't have the calibre of players or style to get the best out of him. A decent profit is not a bad deal, I was actually worried we get our outlay back.
13.) 24 Jun 2024 10:56:57
I don't think anyone doubt that he has qualities and he could grow into a fantastic player. We are not, unfortunately, in a position to hang on to all of our assets. If we get good bids for any player, we'd have to consider them. If we sell him for more than we purchased him for, you'd have to say that's good business. Hopefully the days of us paying over the odds for ageing players is gone (I know, Ashley Young - but we need some old heads) .
30 May 2024 16:14:45
DCL to Newcastle for £25 million. Apparently that would alleviate psr issues. I'd much rather sell him than Braithwaite or Pickford.
1.) 30 May 2024 17:17:03
I agree, Pickford has kept us up, has been amazing and Branthwaite is best young defender in England. DCL hasn’t played so it’s not as if we will miss him.
{Ed025's Note - i think we will him big time Swinners..
2.) 30 May 2024 17:44:20
Agree with ED, we will miss him, he was getting closer and closer to his best as the season closed out, and at his best he's worth twice that. Would rather we got rid of Onana before the rest of the world realises how overrated he is. Don't think we would miss him at all.
{Ed025's Note - the thing is ONE is that he is by miles the best forward we have, the fact that he was plying a lone furrow most of the time did not help him one bit mate, if Dyche was more pragmatic and had someone decent either along side him or just behind him then im sure we would see a quality forward, he holds up the ball well and is great in the air, myself i think he has had a bad press but i must say his injury record last season turned a lot of the supporters against him and all that prancing around in the fashion stakes did not help, but if he does go to say Newcastle with better service and better players around him i think we would regret letting him go..
3.) 30 May 2024 17:52:11
He averages a goal every 4 games. when fit.
4.) 30 May 2024 18:03:29
I would definitely rather lose DCL than Pickford or Jared. Simply for the fact that he would be easier to replace then they would. That isn't to say that I don't think we will miss DCL. He suits how SD wants to play. He is a decent forward, who can hold the ball up well and bring others into play. I will always question him as a finisher though, he is far from a natural one. I am yet to see him strike a ball with any technique or conviction in the 8 seasons he has played for us and he misses far too many chances he gets. He has 54 goals across 8 seasons. People absolutely hammer linked players like Che Adams for similar numbers but seem to overlook it when it comes to DCL. You could argue that those numbers would be better if it wasn't for injuries but you can't discount a players fitness and robustness when assessing them as a player. If they aren't on the pitch, then they aren't going to score.
20, nearly 40% of DCL's goals have been with his head. It is right to say that we don't have any wingers who can beat a man and cross the ball in the squad atm, so if we don't have those players that can facilitate his best chances of scoring, his numbers will expectedly take a hit. In terms of his goal contribution, is he irreplaceable, I don't think so.
I think that term can be used more appropriately to describe JP and Jared. Pickford has been our player of the season 3 seasons on the spin and he has probably been the most integral player for us in avoiding relegation. It is not just his ability as a keeper that we would be losing, it is his leadership and his connection to the fan base. He has come on leaps and bounds these last few seasons and even his biggest critics have started to notice it.
Jared would be another big miss. He partners Tarkowski brilliantly and offers great balance to the backline being predominantly left-footed. I think it is also worth noting that his value will only increase next season. There is a chance that he could have a part to play in this summers tournament, which again can only increase his value. We could let him go this summer for 60/ 70m and then next summer he could easily be talked about as a 100m + centre back. I think another season would do him the world of good and would allow him to learn the league that bit better and iron out any creases to his game.
If DCL was banging in 15/ 20 goals a season for us, it would be a no brainer to keep him. Goals are very hard to come by and us as a team show that more than any of them. The reason we stayed up this season is due to our defence and losing any of the 3 mainstays would disrupt it massively.
Could we sell DCL and find a 10 goal a season forward with similar attributes, yes I think we could. There are players from the lower leagues like Morris, Adebayo and Pedro who have the right attributes to come into this league and hold their own. There are unknowns like the fella Fulham picked up, Muniz. Then there are loans we could exploit from the top clubs with saturated squads e. g. Nketiah, Fofana etc.
In an ideal world we could keep all 3 of them but given our situation, I think I would rather lose Dom and Onana before JP and Jared.
5.) 30 May 2024 18:33:02
With his contract being up next year do you know if there is a clause that we can extend it by a further year?
If he goes at least the club will make millions by selling maupauy shirts.
6.) 30 May 2024 20:22:46
Do you think if true we are interested in newcastles winger he would be part of the deal £25 million and player aswell ????.
{Ed025's Note - i would not think so RON..
7.) 31 May 2024 07:05:18
I'd rather keep him, not just the goals but we just look better with him playing. Beto hasn't done what he was bought for. So I'd rather sell him and Onana tbh.
8.) 30 May 2024 21:43:54
Asked before but does anyone know exactly how much we need to raise for PSR.
{Ed002's Note - No they don't know exactly.}
06 May 2024 08:16:10
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.

Not much action from any Premier league club in the transfer market atm.
I hope Broja goes back to Chelsea and maybe we'll get a decent midfielder off them. I'd definitely sign KWP for £5 million as he can cover so many positions across the back line. A striker would be ideal but I'm hoping Davey will get DCL firing again so maybe it'll push that problem to the summer window.
At least it seems a lot more positive around the club with Davey back. Let's hope players finally get the chance to earn their money.

1.) 25 Jan 2025 09:24:02
As it's always been it'll all lurch into life in the last 36 hours. Except for City it's been very quiet all round. I'm not worried in any way. I'm looking forward to the closing stages and ignoring the rumours.
2.) 25 Jan 2025 14:39:40
Jim White in his yellow tie always got the blood pumping.
16 Jan 2025 02:26:38
Hopefully that's the last time we'll see Dacoure, Harrison and DCL. Davey has to now realise that they simply aren't good enough to pull on the shirt.
The side and formation against Spuds has to be totally different if we are to start the long climb up the table.
UTFT NSNO IMWT.
1.) 16 Jan 2025 06:16:54
Couldn't agree more. They are hopeless. can't believe we are interested in Tom Cannon after selling him.
For me the Rangers striker Igamane might be a better option? Tom Fellows on the wing and two new fullbacks! Creative midfielder needed big time also. We are so poor i just hope we improve otherwise we are destined to end up in the championship. I think Soton and Leicester will be relegated. Ipswich seem to be improving as are Wolves. It's going to be tough and could go down to the last game!
Sorry to be so depressing but we are Everton!
2.) 16 Jan 2025 08:12:39
Said that tor many years, hopefully Freidkin will change that.
3.) 16 Jan 2025 09:47:23
Having made the trip up for the first time in 30 years, I had the perfect view to see just how terrible Harrison is. I've honestly never seen anything like it, it's like he intentionally puts himself in the only places he can't receive the ball, he doesn't run in behind or come short he just stays in this middle kind of limbo it was truly awful.
4.) 16 Jan 2025 10:02:15
I don't disagree they are not good enough but if you take Harrison DCL and Decoure out who are you going to replace them with? If we played the players in there preferred positions and actually bought players to fill vacancies in specific positions instead of just getting players in then we would be in a much better position than we are now. Last night we played a left wing on the right two tens played either left or right flank we played a cm at 10 and we have been doing this all season, the recruitment has been shocking since Moshiri took over in just glad he's gone. DM will need time to get this sorted the big plus for me is he changed formation, a bit to late for my liking, and we looked much more creative with 3 at the back.
5.) 16 Jan 2025 10:27:51
New signings hopefully.
6.) 16 Jan 2025 10:49:50
But not another LW or No10 eh JB.
06 Jan 2025 03:21:53
If he doesn't go before the weekend then I'm afraid that we're stuck with him.
TFG aren't mugs and we have to trust their call whatever it is.
Maybe bring Rooney in on a short term basis to work with the strikers.
1.) 06 Jan 2025 06:16:30
If they don't get rid of him this week then I'd have to say I will have no trust or faith in their judgement moving forward. We can all see where the problems stem from, if they can't then I'm afraid they have spectacularly misjudged the results and the mood of the fans. Hopefully they see sense!
2.) 06 Jan 2025 07:11:50
I am honestly flummoxed WT, I see others asking this question on here . . . however it's not just here, it's everywhere you look.
The world and his wife sees SD as a dead man walking, he is ridiculed for his post match waffle, his tactics (for want of a better word) are condemned as ''difficult'' to watch, the team's goal tally is universally described as abysmal.
If ever there was an elephant in the room, (boardroom) this is one of them.
Relegation now is not just something to have a moment to ponder, it's actually a growling wolf at the door.
3.) 06 Jan 2025 08:50:26
I suspect you'll be waving you Freidkin's out banner for the Villa match then bluepotato unless we self destruct against Peterborough I can see him getting sacked.
4.) 06 Jan 2025 09:02:07
TFG out. Can't believe people having a go already. Unbelievable.
5.) 06 Jan 2025 10:10:17
well they need to say something, don't even think they've been to a game, is this going to be same old story.
27 Dec 2024 05:50:53
Would fellow blue noses take Richy back on loan next season?
It hasn't worked out for him at Spuds but it didn't with Pinnaer and he wasn't a bad returnee.
1.) 27 Dec 2024 09:08:51
Yep I would, but we would need to get him fit, which will result in probably a lot of No’s from fellow posters.
Although I think cover at left back is more essential.
I’d like to drop Doucs and play DCL and Broja together.
When everyone is fit I’d be interested to see
Pickford
Tarkowski O’Brien Branthwaite
Garner Mangala Iregbunham McNeil
Broja DCL Ndyai.
2.) 27 Dec 2024 10:27:57
Dyche would have to have a labotomy to change to that formation Big C.
3.) 27 Dec 2024 11:16:29
Doubt we could afford Richys wages mate.
4.) 27 Dec 2024 13:43:54
If we offloaded Dom, we could loan Richy maybe. Take him in a heartbeat.
{Ed025's Note - i would like him back as well JB, but this is a place where forwards go to die under this manager mate..
5.) 27 Dec 2024 16:02:07
The work that lad puts in he would miss more games than play on Dyches watch.
{Ed025's Note - i think so too DFS..
6.) 27 Dec 2024 17:41:21
His injury record is the biggest worry for me. Loved how he would work his socks off for us but think he’d end up on the physio’s table more than on the pitch. We can’t afford that at the moment. We desperately need a new manager and an attacking midfielder who can chip in with some goals as Doucs is well past his best.
25 Dec 2024 07:41:57
Merry Christmas fellow blue noses.
Let's hope that 2025 brings stability and steady progress under our new guardians.
Although FM isn't going to be missed, I would like to thank him for BMD.

At last we seem to have a stable owner with experience of running a football club.
Short term goals before long term aims seems to be the message and proper Evertonians will be relieved by that.
Good luck Mr Freidkin and welcome to Everton FC.
09 Aug 2024 00:53:39
As much as I would love Richy wearing the number 9 for us, he is way too far out of our price range.
31 Jul 2024 01:47:19
KT and SD have played a blinder so far in this window. fair play to Moshiri for giving the green light to spend a few quid too.
Please can we get a striker next though. Preferably one who can score goals would be nice as we don't seem to have one atm.
16 Jul 2024 02:37:31
I think that bringing them in is brilliant strategy. they can run the club day to day while he oversees things. Everton run by Evertonians is brilliant PR.
03 Jul 2024 16:11:57
Sell DCL and we'll be fine.
04 Feb 2025 01:55:42
Moyes and The Freidkin Group know what they're doing. Even with Beto being the only fit senior striker I think that we'll keep climbing.
Different prospect in the summer and expect some big signings as we prepare for a new era.
IMWT NSNO UTFT.
30 Jan 2025 03:14:25
Ed025.Emilia Fox is definitely a good shout mate.
Unfortunately Basil Brush is probably the only member of that family I'd have half a chance with.
{Ed025's Note - probably me as well WT.. :)
25 Jan 2025 14:39:40
Jim White in his yellow tie always got the blood pumping.
20 Jan 2025 03:07:55
Let's hope that Lindstrom and O'brien keep their places after good outings.
We need McNeil back asap so we can ditch Dacoure and bring Ndiaye into the number 10 role.
Great to see us on the front foot and playing a pressing game instead of the usual passive rubbish we endured under SD.
UTFT NSNO IMWT.
18 Jan 2025 21:05:51
I'd start Keane up front before either DCL or Beto.
