Usmanov in, hopefully, is Wilshire worth a punt at or, too injury prone, Rooney to stay or not, Silva or Foncesca, questions, questions grrrr.

{Ed025's Note - its answers were loopking for GH..

Fonseca has sign a new deal where he is.

17 May 2018 22:01:20
Hahaha.

17 May 2018 16:51:01
I am just amazed as I said earlier on about the speed that all this has happened, already, feeling that MrMoshiri will not stop there, I just have this feeling that at last we fans are in for a very very exciting time at Everton, on another note not sure how many of you are familiar with the NewsNow Everton site, but with so much going on it is a really good site with up to the minute developments about E F C as they happen cheers.

17 May 2018 22:31:39
I look at NewsNow every day GB some very good articals in there not just rumours but well worth a look to get all excited about the future of our club at the moment everyday there seems to be something happening and we haven't even got a manager yet.

17 May 2018 23:06:25
Now Moshi has gone Woods share, watch out for Usinov making a move to Everton.

18 May 2018 01:02:45
Got Woods shares, where would we be without predictive text.

18 May 2018 16:39:57
NSNO maybe up to the minute but it is still rumour and conjecture the same as here. As you say nobody foresaw the speed of change Moshri would implement and KUDOS to him. On the Manager front, the new DoF hasn't (hadn't) started yet and I believe Mr Moshri will listen to his advice prior to appointing the new Manager. My personal opinion is that it should not be Silva, to much like Martinez and I warned about him prior to his appointment and look how that turned out.

17 May 2018 15:48:43
They have already arranged an open top bus tour of the city to show the trophy off. Cocky or what! I hope it pisses down.

17 May 2018 16:18:21
Yeah mate. They going to shut the city down. I work in pub in town and I'm going to get chocker if they win. They all be chirping away. going to be a nightmare.

17 May 2018 16:49:39
Throw a sticky that night mate.

17 May 2018 17:50:32
Lets not be bitter, do not care if the win or lose but if they win good luck to them.

17 May 2018 18:14:13
The smell of bitterness is strong. What do you expect them to do? Organise it in less than 14hrs if Liverpool actually do win it. It's not like a celebration for winning a corner!

17 May 2018 18:22:24
Not bitter mate. Just means million more glory hunting Norwegians in my pub making me work bloody hard. Rather get paid for doing nowt.

17 May 2018 19:44:35
Good luck to them. Would much rather a home Town Club than Real Madrid.

{Ed025's Note - me too DFS..

17 May 2018 23:08:59
They had a bus decked out with 2007 winners on, still in the Garston depot somewhere, unused.

18 May 2018 00:36:52
Put the prices up in the pub they’ll never notice.

17 May 2018 14:18:54
Points: 1. If Usmanov rumour turns out to be true there is an awful lot more going on behind the scenes than we envisaged. If true this makes Everton an awful lot more powerful and attractive than at present. 2. Watford sacked Silva and if we are interested in him (a mistake in my view, particular given point 1.) , what possible legal grounds have Watford to seek compensation, the football authorities should be laughing at them.

18 May 2018 16:41:24
You can't argue with them being hacked off.
We sold them tom cleverly and then tried to buy their manager with the money lol.

17 May 2018 12:50:27
It's more of a whoever comes in as manager will be at the starting blocks of a many hurdle race, we can throw as many names about as we please but they have to want the project and we as fans have to accept it too. He's going to trip on 1 or 2 of the hurdles along the way and we have to see it through, get behind him and the team.
We have some exciting youngsters and some good players if the new guy gels them together and rebuilds the defence we should move in the right direction.

17 May 2018 14:26:57
I think most supporters myself included will get behind the manager and the team if we see the players working and the team having an identity. What I don't want to see is 2 defensive midfielders every game regardless of the opposition, I think its about time we started integrating the youthful talent we have at our disposal. We can have 2 dangerous pacey outlets on both wings with Lookman and Walcott and given the right tactics we may see some decent attacking football. We need to see our record signing playing in his correct position get the age of the back 4 down and let's see the start of a new era. Mr Negative is gone, we now need some positivity and a man with a plan that the players and fans alike can buy into.

17 May 2018 11:37:42
Watching tv talking of players moving in the summer;

Gareth Bale, Toby Alderweld, Kieran Tierney,

That's what I think we would need for next season.

17 May 2018 12:43:44
Gareth Bale AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA.

17 May 2018 14:46:54
yea let's sign injury prone players good plan.

17 May 2018 17:02:51
Tierney is a good shout but think he'll go bigger club than us if he leaves Celtic.

17 May 2018 10:23:13
{Ed's Note - Adam Jones has posted a new article entitled, Russia 2018 - The England Squad

17 May 2018 08:17:58
I would just like to say a massive thank you to Mr Moshiri for moving Big Sam out and doing it so quickly, we have a Gem of an owner here, our prayers have finally been answered.

17 May 2018 09:08:36
Totally agree on the Guernsey.
I've got nothing against Sam, proven Prem Manager, still has a place at clubs looking to settle and stay in the league bottom half.

Moshiri is a man of action, exactly what we've needed for years.
This is just business and it's smart business at the moment.

I wouldn't even knock him if this appointment isn't the exact answer. Keep us ticking in a progressive manner and get that new stadium Moz!

17 May 2018 09:20:07
What I like is if he thinks he's made a mistake or doesn't feel the first choice was the right one, he changes it, doesn't try and hide behind his decision he changes it, I like that, I no it's business and he's not worries about throwing money at it until he gets it right, he bought people in, didn't work so a big change, but I hope we don't end up a club where we are changing things every season, sometimes you need to let things take time, as long as we aren't flirting with religation next season we need to give the next manager 2 or 3 seasons to do his thing.

17 May 2018 09:58:40
Totally agree GB I have never seen such activity in 48 hours he's made a plan and put it into action, Sam did what he was brought here to do and will thank him for that but now comes a summer of excitement even more so than last summer.
Brands is saying all the right things and working with Riola should find us some exciting players, Silva next looking at all the headlines we need to get behind him show our support he should bring us attacking football. Roll on the start of the season.

17 May 2018 09:59:54
If this is the start of him building up his dream to get us back up and among the elite then we are in for a fantastic time at Everton F C, COYBS.

17 May 2018 00:01:27
Wasn't a fan of the football that Big Sam had us playing, but in fairness he got us to 8th. Which considering the appalling season we had, was an over achievement. He's £6m wealthier so I won't feel to sorry for him. Pleased to see Walsh depart, was very unimpressed with him, we paid over the odds for some average players presumably on his say so.

Brands sounds good, know little about him, but hoping he can bring something new to the club. As for the new manager, Silva doesn't fill me with any excitement, in my opinion a risk. Some decent names out there, just need to get the right man. Who will hopefully promote some decent attacking football, with an organised and solid defence. Otherwise I fear we will be having the same discussions in 12 months time.

17 May 2018 07:20:31
Alastair, my thoughts exactly with the addition that many Clubs paid over the odds for players last two Windows and no doubt will do so this Window. Everton also suffered from the over hyped wealth of the incoming of a majority share holder. It does look like this time, Mr Moshri has had his ducks in a row for many weeks if not months. I am not versed on many foreign Managers so for me the only one I am comfortable with is Mr Benitez, the guy is knowledgeable, experienced and has won trophies, he is also still held in high esteem by that lot across the Park and realistically we cannot argue with that.

17 May 2018 09:56:01
brands has wealth of contacts in south america too am looking forward to seeing who we bring in over the summer - the next neymar? the next messi? who knows.

18 May 2018 16:35:42
I don't think 8th is an over achievement. I think its a place short of what BS should have secured. Especially considering between us, Burnley and Leicester, it seemed we were all trying our worst to secure 7th. No one wan6ed it it seemed until the last few games where Burnley pulled away. But they went 10 games without a win! Gave us every chance to catch em.

The void of last year we finished 7th but in a bubble a long way back from 6th and a long way clear of 8th.
That buffer is still there hence why we should be a bit disappointed not to claw 7th.

Arsenal and Chelsea both had appealing seasons and if we had been on it as we all hoped, surely they were both there for the taking? Oh well it is what it is.

Next season the league will be tougher at the top. Can't expect Chelsea to flop again. I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal get a boost too.

I also think the bottom will be a little more competitive too. All 3 promoted clubs survived and are all financially in ok shape and have it in their hands to push on again.

Wolves look very good. Cardiff will struggle as I suspect Villa or Fulham too, I'd bet on 2 of 3 going back down.
Probably a blessing to miss Europa this summer what with all the work the club's has to do.
