If the rumours about Onana to Arsenal and others are legitimate and we let him go for 50/ 60 million it would be yet more poor business from ourselves.
Every other club seems to push for ridiculous fees. One that sticks out recently are Cucurella for around the 60 mark.
Ed's correct me if I am wrong but I am sure Lille have a very healthy sell-on clause on Onana, which would drag the fee down even more.
We should be pushing for as much as we can and going after young Wharton from Rovers. Whllst he can win the ball back in the middle, he is a different player to Onana and has more ability on the ball with his passes, more often than not, being able to play forward and through the lines.
{Ed002's Note - Lille will get 20% of any profit. Everton are screwed financially already.}
1.) 08 Jan 2024 21:34:44
Is it possible for us to ever get out the financial mess we are in and or run at a profit.
2.) 09 Jan 2024 09:46:20
For Clubs (Media) to say they are in talks with Onana (agent (s) ) , surely he is under contract and would need Evertons' permission. As for we should be insisting on a higher fee. As Ed says, we have already lost a paddle and really need to do all we can to keep the boat upright.
3.) 09 Jan 2024 11:37:13
I'm sure that all our players agents are informed to "sell sell sell" no fear of tapping up at our gaff, it's a flea market.

See the flat earth believers are out in force.
5.) 09 Jan 2024 21:17:22
Thanks for all the replies but that was a question for ed02.
{Ed025's Note - if you had said that in your post i would have forwarded it to him mate..
6.) 09 Jan 2024 21:35:34
I know it's called old age,
Probably a good that you never asked him, as he doesn't seem to have much good news for us lately ?.
{Ed025's Note - i know it only too well mate..
7.) 10 Jan 2024 12:43:07
El Bobble said yesterday that no discussions have taken place regards Onana and it will have to be too good and offer to refuse to let him leave. As for financially screwed, that's only if the takeover does not happen.
26 Aug 2023 00:28:22
Norberto Beto Betuncal!
Ed's please tell me the there is some substance to the rumours that a deal is maturing.
Wanted this lad for a long long time. Well before we were even linked with him in the winter window.
{Ed002's Note - Yes Everton are keen on Beto.}
1.) 26 Aug 2023 09:14:59
Being reported we have booked a medical for him after our bid was accepted.
2.) 26 Aug 2023 10:04:00
Deal has just been done, it's on you tube, f knows why on you tube ?.

Eds, hope you are well.
In our current predicament we have no money to buy players. We certainly don't have the money to buy any decent players or offer decent wages to improve this dreadful side.
It is inevitable that we have to sell our saleable and "talented" players. I am guessing they are Pickford, Jared and Onana. In addition the likes of Coleman, Idrissa, Gomes, Harrison etc will be out of contract.
All the above will mean the wage bill is reduced considerably, which is our major issue with FFP. Say we make £120/ 150 million from the 3 lads going. What percentage of that total would be likely have to spend on getting new players in, if any at all, considering we are in so much debt. Or would we still be limited to only frees and loans and bringing the youth players through.
I fear if that is the case, we are just delaying the inevitable in dropping down to the Championship.
Cheers.
1.) 20 Apr 2024 01:16:46
I can't help likening the scenario Man City found themselves in in 1998. Relegated to the third tier. The Championship could just be a stopping off point to League 1.
16 Apr 2024 01:45:46
I didn't think I would ever say this but I would take Red hair back if/ when West Ham can him.
He knows the club. He knows the fans. He can work on a s*** budget. He can turn a sinking ship around. He can win football matches.
Save us David hahah!
08 Apr 2024 17:35:56
Given how long they fanny about with these decisions, you can guarantee that our appeal won't be concluded until after the last game.
One thing we can all be certain of is that come the end of the season, if we are 1 or 2 pts from safety, they will not be giving us those points back, like they did with Forest.
I can't wait for the all the media to come out now and tell us how lucky we are that we have had a further deduction so we can gain a sporting advantage due to it galvanising the players!
{Ed025's Note - i hear that the result of any appeal would be concluded by April 20th BN which is obviously after the season has finished, so every club down there will be left in limbo not knowing their fate, its a joke mate...but what do you expect from these cretins..
1.) 08 Apr 2024 18:18:55
Think you mean 20th May Ed as read same but yes that's yet another comical farce of a season that's had it's fair share already.
{Ed025's Note - i read April Mocker but it was second hand information mate so you could well be right..
2.) 08 Apr 2024 18:38:45
The season finishes May Ed and my understanding is a appeal would take it past this and something the clowns don't want. Think the April is the date they wanted it all resolved by to give a chance for an appeal.
{Ed002's Note - It is difficult to see any grounds for appeal and obviously one result could be an increase in the punishment. There is a drop dead date for appeals to be completed but the Premier League will want them closed out very quickly. The only clowns are Everton.}
3.) 08 Apr 2024 19:07:01
Think they are both a set of clowns Ed TBH.
Imo Everton should just accept the charge and move on as much as think we have been somewhat harshly treated we could have easily been dealt with more severely with us being a repeat offender.
Look forward to next season when City finally get dealt with and your Chelsea Ed, that is if the goalposts ain't moved again.
{Ed002's Note - well the Chelsea situation is very different and a large number of the Manchester City charges are simply noise - but there are a handful of very serious charges in there.}
4.) 08 Apr 2024 19:20:29
And for the integrity of football let's hope they are dealt with accordingly.
5.) 09 Apr 2024 12:21:44
I think the only clowns are the PL. You can't have PSR without having a clear sanction structure in place. Asking for 17 points to be taken off is abhorrent, they are just attempting to show they can self govern and regulate. However they are just making themselves look incompetent.
04 Apr 2024 19:22:55
Whilst this team is distinctly average, there are still enough players who should be able to execute a style of play and game plan, should they be prepared and setup correctly to do so.
When you compare our 11 to the bottom half of the Prem, whilst they may not be any better, they arguably aren't any worse. To read some people say that we can't compete to win football matches in this league because of the players we have at our disposal just doesn't wash with me.
Pickford - International
Branthwaite - Future International and top defender
Tark - PL veteran
Myko - International
Gueye - International
Garner - Tidy enough
Onana - International with top clubs after him
Doucoure - PL veteran
McNeil - 7 seasons in the PL at 24
Harrison - 24 PL goals in 4 seasons
DCL - PL goalscorer and International goalscorer
Whilst I don't rate most of these players, much like I don't rate the players of the teams around us. To act like we cannot compete with them to win football matches is absolutely ridiculous.
If you compare Luton's experience and player level to ours, to see them within a few points of us is frightening.
12 games without a win is obscene. In these last few years it seems like we are setting PL records for all the wrong reasons. This club has become a laughing stock and the only thing that remains of a high standard around it, are it's fans.
1.) 04 Apr 2024 19:35:57
Agree BN, well said,
2.) 04 Apr 2024 20:24:03
We have played well with that group, but we’re not currently. It’s not as simple as a list of names. You can be an international player for Luxembourg.
3.) 04 Apr 2024 20:35:26
Think most fans know we have the backbone of a team, TBF they is a lot of "international player's" in the premier, not really the benchmark for much nowadays.
The big problem we have is a lack of pace especially out wide and the lack of a decent ball playing creative number 10, our strength is size and power yet we struggle beat the 1st man nowadays from dead balls.
Wasn't so long ago our stats were up there with the best in terms of chances created.
I've backed Dyche and if we do stay up then he has done his job in difficult circumstances and without deductions we would be comfortable so hard to truly gage. Not sure under his guidance we will kick on as a club, think it will be pretty much the same season in season outcome, think he goes eventually especially when take over finally happens. I'd like to have seen what he could have done under better circumstances and being backed, do fear a more "appealing manager" being appointed and us being in exact same position in 12months crying out for a Dyche type to save us from the drop (again! ) .
Things ain't changing anytime soon and expect the same next few seasons at best, not sure which manager would want to come into this with the experience who is available and be cheap enough to get, to work with a aging slow paced squad with little to no money available and our "prized assets" being auctioned off in the summer.
Yes Dyche isn't everyone's cup of tea but some realism of the situation we in is very much needed.
4.) 04 Apr 2024 22:26:41
I will never be crying out for Dyche. Even without the points deduction we would still be bottom half, and still playing hoofball.
5.) 04 Apr 2024 23:01:46
6 points from a possible 39!
6.) 04 Apr 2024 23:49:11
The clubs with pace have a handful of rapid players but playing faster football is not always only about having a nos9 who can run 100m in 10 seconds. It's about moving the ball faster. Our players aren't exactly slouches. DCL has pace to burn but he isn't used in a way to let him run onto through balls. The few times we look good is when we play 1 and 2 touch and that's all I'm personally asking to see a lot more. I'm not asking for a prim Giggs on the left a prime Limpar on the right and a Vardy Owen Johnson type through the middle. Just asking our more than capable current squad to be allowed to play something more progressive. Our attacking coaching is a joke. The only player who looks like he's running through treacle is Gomes but he doesn't need pace as he's class with the ball. Our squad is more than good enough to play something different to this prehistoric hoof and hope and blast the ball across the box in volume tosh. We'd not threaten the top 6 but definitely should be in and around the top ten.
7.) 05 Apr 2024 06:46:04
I tend to agree FBS and you make valid points, but you need to be realistic and see we severely lack pace in the middle of the park both with and without the ball and as you rightly say moving the ball, imo we don't have the midfielders to play the desired football and is ultimately why we go hoofball, this is down to the misfit squad we have of various managers and no clear strategy or identity of club or style of play, also why Dyche came in as wether you like him or not under our circumstances and his past record and availability at the time was a ideal candidate, Bielsa never wanted us as knew the squad wasn't his cup of tea or able to implement his ethos.
I don't like the play we have atm but I also seen in a lot of matches this season some good solid stuff without a run of luck, hard to implement expansive football in mn these circumstances when the club are not just fighting for their premiership survival but ultimately the survival of the club, that can't be labelled at Dyche, they is no guarantee that under anyone else we would be better off maybe just ABIT more pleasing on the eye but with what's at our disposal and the money available not sure about that, we ain't a top ten squad but before the season started been happy with in and around 12th something without the PTS reduction and no question a momentum stopper I believe we would be which then shines a totally different light on our season.
Just my opinion anyway more for realism than fantasy.
8.) 05 Apr 2024 09:02:14
After PTS we played some good football. Then for some reason we went back to hoofball. Pickford must go through a pair of boots a week.
9.) 05 Apr 2024 13:18:05
Whilst your point is valid JB, we aren't talking about Luxembourg are we. They are English, Irish, Ukrainian, Belgian, Senegalese, Portuguese internationals, hardly fodder nations.
Mocker, as I said mate, I don't rate these players but we are kidding ourselves if we feel that as professional PL footballers, with their ability, they aren't good enough to implement a more positive style of play, as opposed to the dross being served up at the moment.
I am not expecting us to finish high up the table, but my point is we aren't even competing with the lower teams in the league around us. You are correct that we don't have pace and are lacking quality through the middle, but neither do some of the other sides and the ones that do are lacking in other areas like their defence. The main difference between us for me is that they have players who care and who want to fight. Our players aren't arsed. Bar Pickford and Jared, I never see any anger at the mistakes we make. Just some pathetic feel sorry for ourselves look, or head down into the ground going into a sulk. Zero pride in themselves and zero fight for us and this club.
10.) 05 Apr 2024 14:49:37
Majority of that I agree with Bluenose. The lack of fight -& pride is at it's lowest and said numerous times we lack a spark on the match. It's a easy cop out for the players but do think the off field is draining them, certainly drained me, that's why with a clear slate I'd like see what Dyche could do, not going to happen as will be gone soon
enough.
I would expect us with or without Dyche to be in similar dogfight relegation next season until we get stability on and off the pitch.
11.) 05 Apr 2024 15:27:21
It is a disgrace Mocker. It isn't as if you can excuse them for not being local lads, as every club has to contend with this factor now, yet they still seem to put a shift in.
I just think it is a case of weak mentality mate. If it were me, it would make me want to p*** off the powers that be even more by staying up and getting results.
I suspect big clubs will be after him but I would love us to go after a new breed of manager like Motta. He is at Bologna so I doubt he is on huge money which suits us and as bad a situation as we are in and how far we have fallen, we are still a far bigger club than them, all due respect.
12.) 05 Apr 2024 16:20:16
Yeah agree pal, we do have some honest hardworking lads and am with you with the 2 fingers up to the powers that be attitude but not everyone is cut from the same cloth.
Not sure who or what the answer is TBH, but until all the rubbish storm around the club lifts then we ain't a attractive proposition to anyone, Motta having great season at Bologna he gives up CL next season for us albeit yes our history and size you would like to think we could entice but unless we chuck money at him or had a decent war chest sadly the reality is the hand we have, potentially we are going to be weaker next season once Onana and Jarrod go, just hope we can get some decent freebies in and not freeloaders.
16 Jan 2024 00:08:46
As the Ed's have already explained the crux of our troubles is the fact that we spend 90% + of our turnover on players wages.
When you think of the absolute fodder that has worn that blue shirt in the last few years, it makes it all the more disgusting that the people in charge of our club have allowed this to happen.
We have gotten rid of the following players for the approximate fees and yet we are still right in the s*** .
Iwobi - £20m
Kean - £ 30m
Gray - £9m
Cannon - £8m
Simms - £8m
Nknonkou - £2m
The season before .
Richy - £60m
Gordon - £40m
Then we have had some big wages cleared off the books in Mina, Gabamin, Allan and Tosun who left on frees.
In that time other than Onana and possibly Danjuma I can't think of many we have signed that would be on ridiculously high wages.
Perhaps the biggest stink is the fact that Michael Keane, Gomes, etc have been allowed to stay at the club on astronomical wages. It is absolutely p*** poor. Both on £100k + a week and both are utter utter s***. We should have sold both for next to nothing to get them out of this club.
The Danjuma deal made zero sense. He already showed what type of character he was when he left us in the s*** and swanned off to Spurs. He will be on a hefty wage and any player that doesn't seem pi**ed off to sit on the bench is not a player worth having. He took up a vital loan spot and has offered sweet fa.
The Chermitti deal was even worse. Yes maybe Simms or Cannon aren't PL standard but they cost us absolutely nothing, will be on low wages and at least have a level of care and desire to do well for this club. Chermitti was as raw as they were, yet we spunk £12.5m on the lad when we are skint. I bet his agent got him some decent wages whilst he was at it too.
We are in this mess because we put ourselves there, plain and simple.
As Ed's have said, the way out of it is to make some big sales and reinvest in frees, loans and smart signings on low wages until the storm passes.
Onana will end up going for sure. That should fetch a nice fee and free up some high wages.
I would like to see DCL go, although I thought we should have got rid of him when his stock was high off the back of the season post Carlo. We will be lucky to get £20m for him now but more £100k a week wages gone. An effective player, yes, but even that has dwindled now. The fact that people still rate him as a goalscorer baffles the life out of me.
Gomes, get him out. Keane the same.
Thelwell needs to earn his coin now and explore the South American market and dip into the French market as they transfer the best to the PL and always have bargains to be unearthed.
What a sad state of affairs this club is in.
1.) 16 Jan 2024 07:49:49
100% correct BN.
2.) 16 Jan 2024 08:06:39
So just sell all our best players and still expect us to stay in the Premiership, with a squad full of kids. Well that makes sense?
3.) 16 Jan 2024 08:22:14
It is absolutely mind blowing how a supposedly very rich business person can be so inept as to not see how 90 percent of income spent on wages is not sustainable. I also fail to see what game the Prem are playing, what does it achieve other than driving a Club to the wall. Everton are inept but they are trying to reduce their liabilities albeit not fast enough. What good does pulling the rug do! Can only speculate that this new Prem toughness started when HMG proposed an independent regulator.
4.) 16 Jan 2024 08:23:36
Ed002, The % of our turnover is clearly killing the club. Is it the case in addition that loans to allegedly pay for the Stadium build, which you've repeatedly stated is not fully funded are deemed not solely for that build but also to pay for operating costs, ie Wages by the Premier League, hence our position yesterday in regards further breaches and charges brought. The finances are so so bad. It seems administration is becoming inevitable. Would you agree?
{Ed002's Note - The cost of improving the infrastructure (e.g. the stadium) is one of the items excluded from the FFP accounts.}
5.) 16 Jan 2024 08:51:21
The problem was the high wage multi year contracts they were given. Its all good saying get rid but get rid but to who? Nobody will want either of them on the wages they are currently on and why would they leave? Even if we agreed mutual termination of their contracts we would be worse off and would not be able to get anyone in to replace them. Should someone come in for them then that may be a different matter but with our current squad then we actually need them especially Gomes at the moment. We will probably have to wait till their contracts expire.
6.) 16 Jan 2024 08:51:56
WoburnB Think he means a reset. This carries on (prem are not giving any breathing space) we are certain to get relegated.
7.) 16 Jan 2024 08:58:41
More a case of on good wages and still under contract Bluenose. Thelwell may well be trying but nobody willing to pay up.
8.) 16 Jan 2024 09:18:56
Thanks Ed002 I understand that yet it seems the Premier League are not excluding the interest payments on that borrowing being used for the build. Regardless the financial position is woeful. Should 777 collapse are we looking at administration on top of all this in your view?
{Ed002's Note - I am not party to the accounts that have been submitted. Everton should make use of a Swiss company who work as an agency matching clubs to potential owners. If the 777 deal fails to go through, it leaves a huge residual problem as they have been lending the club money to pay the wages.}
9.) 16 Jan 2024 09:35:58
Thanks Ed. It feels like this will be a repeated cycle for the foreseeable until such time as we as a club resolve the ownership issue. Has Moshiri totally washed his hands financially now to your knowledge?
{Ed002's Note - Moshiri is unwilling to throw more money at the club whilsts he pushes to sell quickly.}
10.) 16 Jan 2024 09:50:24
Disastrous Owner with even worse advisors. Should we head towards Administration do you think he'd bail the club out while new ownership was sought as surely being a Premier League outfit is more of a proposition for prospective buyers?
{Ed002's Note - I wrote this on 29 Jul 2023 09:31:06
Do you expect the club to be sold this Season Ed?
BR2022-23
"Ed002's Note - Everton are still hovering around FFP issues and have profit, sustainability and ownership issues and face potentially significant penalties. They need to reduce the wage bill further and utilise the cheaper or free options available to them and utilise youngsters where they can. 777 Partners and MSP Sports Capital will look to answer Moshiri's dire need for a quick sale before the roof collapses on him. Investment for 25% of the club wanted by MSP might be the best Moshiri, in terms of timing and the stadium, could hope for - and certainly best for the fans. Circumstances are such that selling the entire business would be the ideal for Moshiri but with the money required to complete the stadium and the FFP issues likely to bite, it makes it unattractive as a package. Everton should run a mile from 777 partners for two reasons - they are being investigated over investments in two low cost airlines that have seen reposesessions and, if Everton and Standard Liege were to both qualify for the same European competition, then Everton would be excluded."
The situation now is that Everton will likely get no more loans from 777 Partners and may need to seek protection which Administration will give them. The process to deal with the appeal, the new case and any further appeal pushes everything down the road if 777 Partners do not get approval this month. It then becomes a reality and would see another significant points deduction of 9 points.}
11.) 16 Jan 2024 10:13:06
Thank you for reposting that. New to this page in terns of posting but always followed your extremely well informed posts and information. Bleak times to be an Evertonian and I wish everyone understood how dire the situation is.
{Ed002's Note - Indeed, it is going to be a very bumpy ride.}
12.) 16 Jan 2024 13:09:16
I know it was/ has been mention before, but surely now is time for prem league to put financial rules in place to help clubs. i.e wage caps or even transfer caps. Surely owners could go for that as income would be greater as they not forking out huge transfer fees and wages. The money is ridiculous for men doing their jobs. Needs sorting and can be done as was with the 3 foreigners rule in 90s. If it's not possible at a the I'd understand. Just thinking of how prem can put everyone on level playing field fir fees and wages.
{Ed001's Note - the issue would then be the other European leagues would just sign all the best players by paying them more than the English clubs can.}
13.) 16 Jan 2024 13:27:16
I thought about that Ed001, but something needs to be done. All punishing clubs does it put them further into the mire when helps needed. I admit we have been ran shockingly but it's the fans suffering. a lot on here have fallen out of love with the business. I use the term business because that's what it is now, not a sport anymore. I genuinely fear for us this season. Could end up like a Leeds, Middlesbrough, Leicester. Or worse. Wigan, Portsmouth etc. As with the stadium, it reminds me of a club not far from me. Darlington. George Reynolds built a 25k seater stadium and it didn't get used. Just stands there getting dirty and used for rugby or car boot fairs. I just hope we beat eastenders, corrie and emmerdale in the national soap awards, because that's what this is turning into.
{Ed001's Note - the punishments do need to be rethought, but it is difficult to come up with something suitable which actually does punish a club. I mean in Everton's case in the initial punishment, you did continue to sign players, which put you over the limits, so it had to be something to put others off doing the same. You can't just allow clubs to be over the FFP limits and still continue to buy players. It would be better if they had done something similar to the EFL and, once it was known Everton were over the limit, they put a block on incoming signings until the club was within limits. Rather than punishing later, I would prefer they acted to keep clubs within the rules as they go.}
14.) 16 Jan 2024 17:42:29
Woburn, where did I say sell our best players and play kids? Whether you like it or not, we need to shift our assets on in order to correct this s*** storm we are in.
I said Onana is very likely to leave, so at least we fetch a decent fee and clear some hefty wages off the bill. I also said to shift DCL because he is also on silly wages for the level of player he is. I think he is a poor goal scorer and yet he starts 95% of games for us without fail. Yet another simple finish for a striker missed against Villa and it is nothing new. I fully expected him to fluff his lines when he broke through. He is a decent player yes, (imo overrated) but he is not a finisher.
What is to say we cannot shift both on and then get 3, 4 or 5 players in that improve the overall picture of the squad.
We sold Richy and Gordon, 2 of our best players and brought in Tarks, Onana, Garner and McNeil. This is the model that many clubs in better states than ours follow e.g Lille and Dortmund.
BlueNose1878!'s rumour replies
08 Apr 2024 12:53:29
Surely we can't get anywhere near £40 million for him now?
That was the reported fee back when he was actually scoring goals. That was years ago now, the lad is older and scoring a much lower rate.
Realistically, which teams would be after him that could offer that sort of money?
03 Dec 2023 00:30:06
He has been managed very poorly imo. When he first came, albeit against Doncaster, he changed that game for us and showed a great finish. He was unlucky not to score against Sheffield and caused them bother the whole time he was on the game. He had a great assist when he came on against Burnley for Young's goal.
To say he has no pace and is crap in the air is just b*ll*cks. Even if he hasn't had the chance to prove it concretely for Everton yet, go and watch him for Udinese where he actually got a decent run in the side for a season.
It is hard luck for him that DCL has been fit for a run of games for the first time in years, in which time DCL has performed poorly himself.
Comparing the lad to Tosun is even more b*ll*cks. He has had the end of matches to come on and try and build some confidence. Yes the lad snatched at some chances today but that is because he is so desperate to make an impact for us. Had he been given some backing since he has been here, things would likely be a lot different.
As JB said, who is this mythical cheap backup . Maupay?
26 Aug 2023 21:27:56
Yes, agreed mate. £18 mill is steep, especially with him being in the final year of his contract. However, if we don't source goals and quickly, it will be a steeper fall down to the Championship GB.
26 Aug 2023 20:41:18
People don't seem to be too keen on him GB but I would like him to come in with Beto. The lad works hard for the team. He is a handful and will score us 8/ 12 goals a season.
If I was a CB, I wouldn't enjoy facing him and Beto by any stretch of the imagination.
25 Aug 2023 20:30:57
Heard they wanted his buy-out met at around £30 mill GB.
I have wanted this lad as our striker since he was on loan at Udinese and he effed my acca up against Juventus. Proper Everton no.9 mate.
With us being in the s**tter, he was top of the list for me.

Loved him as a player but have no idea what he would be like as a coach mate.
The Coventry and Birmingham jobs were only 'caretaker' positions so they didn't last long enough to get a true idea of his capabilities.
You can't really judge the England job as I think even Dyche would win something with that crop.

Think he is a West Ham fan Dentie and wants to manage them. At this rate I would take Will I Am as manager atm.
On a more serious note, I wouldn't mind us going after Thiago Motta at Bologna. Doing a fantastic job. Has them playing great football offensively and defensively. Suspect some of the bigger Italian clubs may fancy him though.

I am very much the same FBS. With the position we now find ourselves in, I would take him back in a heartbeat. I think he would come back. He has always kept the doors open to do so and he enjoys this part of the world, much more so than London.
Potter won't come to us and Howe will be on serious dollar now he has been at Newcastle, he isn't going to drop down considerably to come to us.
Not sure how Carsley would do Witty as I know nothing about him as a manager but if he shows the same application and fight as he did as a player, I am all for it mate.

Moyes.
He is everything that Dyche was supposed to be in our current predicament.
- Steady the ship.
- Good in the transfer market, particularly at the lower end of the market.
- Has his teams competing in football matches.
- Pragmatic approach playing to his teams strengths.
- Knows the club.
- Gets results.
