Maupay to Brentford on loan with option to buy…. starting to think Thelwell is half decent.
16 Dec 2022 17:37:35
Is it true that Rondon has left by mutual consent?
1.) 16 Dec 2022 17:47:04
Looking that way, yet another end to a disastrous transfer.
2.) 16 Dec 2022 18:27:10
Time to move on, the clear out continues, hopefully more to come next month.
3.) 16 Dec 2022 19:15:52
Yep thank goodness for that, hopefully the wages being saved from Rondons departure will help bring in replacements.
4.) 17 Dec 2022 10:19:51
I doubt if we saved much GB. An agreement was made which meant we paid off some of his remaining wages. A terrible signing by the fat waiter cost us a lot.
5.) 17 Dec 2022 15:58:11
Rondon on 20k per week, so not much of a saving. Maybe go towards Iwobi's pay rise.
6.) 17 Dec 2022 20:03:09
I wouldn’t mind being on £20 grand a week lol.
7.) 18 Dec 2022 12:18:34
Yea GB but your to old and slow. Whereas Rondon is, oh no wait a minute.
8.) 18 Dec 2022 14:22:08
Love it mate.
9.) 18 Dec 2022 19:51:41
I'm sure Guernsey is younger.
10.) 19 Dec 2022 05:59:09
I'm happy he has gone regardless of the money. Cannon third choice now like he should have been anyway. Could be argued he should be second choice as well. At least with Rondon gone we know he won't be playing anymore and that is a massive plus in my eyes.
It's a great start to the window. Hopefully it continues.
11.) 20 Dec 2022 10:10:26
Blimey GB, If I was a player I would not get out of my slippers for £20K a week :-)

?Everton's Head Of Recruitment and Development, Gretar Steinsson has decided to leave the club. As well as this Dan Purdy who is the club's Manager of Scouting and Operations has also left

3.) 15 Dec 2021 16:35:53
Old news that tho. Been out a week or so.
4.) 16 Dec 2021 10:41:05
Based on our recruitment and youngsters coming through over the last 5 years he isn’t exactly a loss is he!
5.) 16 Dec 2021 12:54:03
If they’ve been responsible for the horrific transfer activity over the last five years then good riddance. If they’re leaving because these signings where made without their involvement then we really are in trouble.
6.) 16 Dec 2021 17:55:11
That’s the worrying bit WB.
7.) 16 Dec 2021 18:53:14
Hopefully these issue will be cleared up if we do actually get a fan on the board. The club's communication with fans and media over the way the club is run is just none existent.
We all know recruitment and injuries have been terrible for years now and senior people have been moved on from those positions so we have to see that as a good thing.

Everton are stepping up their interest in AIK's highly-rated Sweden winger Nabil Bahoui. Everton boss Roberto Martinez is looking to bolster his attacking options and he is keeping tabs.
1.) 25 Jul 2014 17:57:47
Looks a good player
2.) 25 Jul 2014 19:07:51
Drogba rejoins Chelsea hope that paves the way for rom to join us
{Ed025's Note - well it cant do any harm ken..
3.) Probably brought drogba back to teach lukaku how to sharpen up his game like hold a ball up and dive like a Wally.
4.) Have to say reports in Sweden go along the lines of . "ssn in England are reporting. " Basically the news is coming from England not Sweden so a bit suspect to me
25 Jul 2014 14:25:20
According to tv, the Blues are set to step up their interest in AIK's highly-rated Sweden winger Nabil Bahoui.

777 about to become our new owners. Good or bad move.
1.) 12 Sep 2023 11:00:04
I’d be interested to hear the Ed’s opinions. Personally I’m concerned by the rumours of criminal activity within the 777 partners (fraud, extortion etc) . Not sure if they are baseless rumours or have some truth to it? . Yes Moshiri has been a very poor owner but I don’t believe him to be a crook.
{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 have been the best Moshiri, in terms of timing and the stadium, could hope for - and certainly best for the fans but that option has gone. 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.}
2.) 12 Sep 2023 11:23:17
Dire situation then, is there a chance that they may fail the owners test? . I’d rather stick with Moshiri in that case.
Sounds like we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.
{Ed002's Note - I would doubt it.}
3.) 12 Sep 2023 11:25:02
Bad news all the way, just hope it's blocked, on the fit and proper person's test.
In my view, these people are, at best chancers, out to make money from EFC, they appear under financed to restore the club, but far more likely to go in for asset stripping, like sell the new ground, then make the club pay to play there, with all the no footballing income going into there pockets, I really hope I am wrong, but the experience of those clubs where they have an interest do not give to much encouragement.
Unfortunately since our current owner lost his Russian backer he seems to lack the resources to take the club forward, and perhaps he was only ever the suregate for the Russian.
{Ed002's Note - Nonsense.}
4.) 12 Sep 2023 12:19:40
We were warned ages ago to be careful what we wish for. Now, i'm not backing Moshiri to stay, however, its no good forcing him out if we don't know who is coming in.
Ill admit I don't know enough about the financial side to make a decent argument for him staying or going, but I was dubious about just saying 'Out, Out, Out' until we knew who was interested in taking over.
Im not reading glowing reviews about 777 but maybe i'm not looking in the right places.
It all seems a bit of a gamble from what i see.
5.) 12 Sep 2023 12:44:25
Investment Company, they won't fail ownership Test. Is it 777 being investigated or a subsiduary? Moshri is close to desperate; for that reason I could see legs in a full takeover rumour.
{Ed002's Note - Just try and ignore the finances please. It will simply cause more and more confusion. The issues they have concern the leasing of airctaft to two low cost airlines (Canada’s Flair and Australia’s Bonza) that they own and aircraft being repossessed from Flair over repayments - but the investigation has not concluded anything at this time.}
6.) 12 Sep 2023 13:50:56
You’d expect any investor to want to make a profit on their investment. That would require us to be more successful. They obviously think they can stabilise the club and move it forward. Rarely dull around Everton these days ay?
7.) 13 Sep 2023 04:44:55
Very worrying time for EFC with no ideal solution in sight - Keep Moshiri or go with a very dubious 777.
26 Jan 2022 19:15:42
Anybody know what's going on outside Goodison?
1.) 26 Jan 2022 19:59:47
No idea what is going on inside Goodison, you couldn't make this up, we are the laughing stock of the Footballing world. I blame Kenwright, nothing since 1995 and he allowed Moshiri to take control of the club. I will always support the club but Moshiri and the board must pick a decent manager this time and get the club management sorted.
2.) 26 Jan 2022 20:10:00
Not having a replacement lined up just demonstrates what a farce we are. Most clubs have fired and hired quickly. We fire and dither.
3.) 26 Jan 2022 22:38:07
Im p. ed off with the lot of it, as fans we are an embarassment, the board and advisors are also turnibg the club into an embarassment, no wonder we are struggling to appoint a manager. Whoever gets it will have my complete support as that's the only way we will get out of this mess.
21 Jan 2022 09:47:08
Message from Farhad Moshiri apparently.
Firstly, may I wish you and your loved ones the very best - and thank you for your continued support of the Club.
It has been a difficult season to date - with results not meeting the expectations of anyone associated with the Club. As a result, the decision was taken last weekend to part ways with Rafa Benitez as our manager.
After a very disappointing run of results, it was the right decision for the Club - although it is never one that is taken lightly.
As we prepare for our forthcoming games, we have a fiercely passionate Evertonian in Duncan Ferguson taking charge of the team on an interim basis. He is a remarkable man and I know he will give his all in leading the team, as he did so impressively during his spell as caretaker boss in December 2019.
I understand the frustration felt by everybody who loves Everton because of our inconsistent form in recent seasons, despite significant investment in the playing squad.
The money that has been spent since 2016, not just on the playing squad but also on key projects including our new stadium, demonstrates my commitment to Everton.
I write to you to assure you that my commitment remains strong and focused. The Club has announced today the conversion of a £100m loan to the club into equity which is a clear demonstration of my commitment and greatly strengthens the balance sheet.
I am a private man and I do not speak publicly very often. But I promise you that my determination to deliver for Everton will not waver.
The strategic football review that is currently ongoing will ensure we have the best model in place moving forward. I am working closely with the Chairman and the Board as part of that strategic review - and I can assure you the recruitment process for a new manager is aligned to that. It is vital we appoint a manager that fits the structure we are putting in place and so, whilst we are keen to make an appointment as quickly as possible, we will work together to ensure it is the right candidate to deliver the success we all crave.
I have the utmost faith and respect in the Board, and I work incredibly well with them. The experience and knowledge of our Chairman blends perfectly with the vision and leadership of Denise, our CEO. He is respected across football, not only as an expert in player trading negotiations - skills that have been put to good use already this month with three new signings - but for the unwavering commitment and guidance he has given to Everton over so many years. There is no one working harder to bring success and happiness back to the Club.
The Boardroom also boasts the financial acumen of one of the most respected Finance Directors in football in Grant Ingles, and the recent addition of the footballing expertise provided by a true Everton legend in Graeme Sharp completes a robust and well-balanced team that leads by example in all areas of our operation. As always in business, we will not stand still - and will continue driving forward for the benefit of the Club.
The expertise of our senior leaders has been undeniably demonstrated in the last 18 months by the huge strides taken in delivering our new stadium on the banks of the Mersey despite the great-many challenges posed by the C.V.
In the coming weeks and months, our new stadium will begin to rise from Bramley-Moore Dock as we maintain our progress as part of the three-year build schedule.
The Board and the Club's Executive Leadership Team will deliver a new home befitting our Club's incredibly passionate fanbase.
Indeed, the passion that is always demonstrated very clearly by fans is something I value and understand. Fans are the lifeblood of the Club and only by working together can we deliver the success we all long for. With that in mind, I am fully supportive of the work the Board and our CEO are doing in conjunction with key fan groups to put in place a Fan Advisory Board with representation at Board level. The Club is moving forward with its discussions with fan groups to ensure the voice of ALL Evertonians can be heard through a robust structure for the future. We will also introduce a series of regular events that will be accessible to all fans, enabling open and clear dialogue with the Club's senior leaders.
Further updates on these important matters will be provided by our CEO in the weeks and months ahead. In the meantime, I thank you for your ongoing support - it is truly appreciated.
Thank you.
Farhad Moshiri.
1.) 21 Jan 2022 10:31:27
Think it clearly shows he knows he’s made mistakes in the past and trying to get a closer relationship with the fans, hopefully in the coming weeks and months it evaporates the toxicity that’s been lingering around the club for way to long now, onward and upward hopefully. COYB.
2.) 21 Jan 2022 11:25:56
Agree Steve, at the end of the day the guy just wants what we all want. Yes he’s making mistakes we just have to hope he learns from them.
3.) 21 Jan 2022 11:26:10
Yes the man has made mistakes but it looks like he is trying to turn things round and he has invested a lot of money into the club. If he could just put some ear plugs in when his agent friends come knocking and the strategic review shifts power to where if is actually needed then I think things may turn out okay after all.
4.) 21 Jan 2022 12:29:15
Read his letter. Just where is the evidence that he admits he has made mistakes, that he apologises for them and that he has learned
Get rid of Brands, sell Digne and a week or so later sack Benitez right in the middle of the transfer window NOTHING has changed - it's still a complete mess.
5.) 21 Jan 2022 13:09:13
Bw2412 a review of how the clubs run and getting a fans advisory board involved is clearly saying he’s made mistakes in the past, shouldn’t both be seen as positive changes that the club clearly need going forward hopefully he starts listening to the right people and makes the correct calls to take the club forward and progress in the right direction.
{Ed025's Note - thats what we are looking for steve..
6.) 21 Jan 2022 13:23:25
A review done by who Steve? A independent review - NO
A review done by the people who have got us into this mess and look at how much responsibility they've taken so far
I hope you are right Steve but honestly - I think you are deluding yourself a little bit at least.
7.) 21 Jan 2022 14:07:26
Just trying to find some positive’s in what the chairman wrote there’s so much negativity around the club, let’s hope current events give the fans something to cheer about tomorrow afternoon and lift some of the doom and gloom that’s hanging around COYB.
{Ed025's Note - i think if we get a positive result tomorrow steve it will go a long way to healing the situation mate..
01 Jul 2021 16:05:04
Official start date for the new stadium - 26th July 2021.
1.) 01 Jul 2021 16:54:39
About time, thanks blue.
30 Jan 2021 11:52:22
No Tosun or Bernard in today's squad. Maybe they both have moves lined up?
Surely though we will have to get a couple in ourselves before Monday as we can't even name a full bench?
1.) 30 Jan 2021 12:59:01
Some journos are stating that Bernard is close to a move to Al Nasr with talks at an advanced stage.
2.) 30 Jan 2021 13:02:10
Hope so IT, we need someone to compete with our other forwards - too complacent.
3.) 30 Jan 2021 13:20:31
Poor again today!
4.) 30 Jan 2021 14:24:47
Absolute disgrace. This lot are so unfit, totally out run and outplayed by a poor Newcastle side. Dire!
01 Sep 2023 15:58:23
All reports now are saying he’s staying at Leeds?
01 Sep 2022 21:46:25
He’s staying at Blackburn according to reports.
01 Sep 2022 19:36:51
Going to forest apparently.
01 Sep 2022 15:20:57
Going to Lille I’ve heard.
15 Jul 2021 20:03:46
No mate what we are talking about is players who were so-called at the end of their careers who turned out o be fantastic players for us.
31 Jan 2023 12:38:13
Ye one medical for DCL, one for Mina to see if they fit for Arsenal and the 3rd just in case Ayew says yes…….
29 Aug 2022 20:39:43
He won 8 league games last season didn’t he?
12 Aug 2022 14:44:03
Week said JB.
21 Jan 2022 09:57:03
Yes I’ve just posted it below.
08 May 2021 12:18:35
Seems to be the way it is with James - plays for 1 or 2 games then he’s out for 4 or 5.
