Maupay, Deli Ali given Squad numbers for 23/ 24. Deli Ali maybe given a chance but what the heck is it with Maupay?
1.) 04 Aug 2023 10:57:30
Not sure why you’re surprised Maupay been given a squad number?
Whilst we all criticise him, he’s still an Everton player and part of the squad, he’s also been used a lot in preseason so pretty obvious would get a squad number.
Gray being given No 11 when he’s apparently not trained for 4 days and wants out is more surprising.
2.) 04 Aug 2023 11:19:52
Hopefully not a sign that he’s staying. If we didn’t give him a number and couldn’t find a buyer we’d have a bad player who was also upset.
3.) 04 Aug 2023 11:45:32
It is number 13.
Giving Gray 11 makes sense because if we get a new wide man and sell Gray then 11 would be a good number to give them.
4.) 04 Aug 2023 12:11:55
Think giving Maupay 13 says a lot.
5.) 04 Aug 2023 15:00:19
What I've seen of maupay I have to say I've not been impressed, saying that we don't see him in training, we also haven't seen him in his preferred position, he's not a target man he's a link up man, if he played up top with DCL or the new guy from sporting, he may just suprise us, a lot of players find it hard to play good football in a team struggling at the bottom of the league and players are under so much pressure not to make a mistake they take the easier option which normally mean a side ways or backward pass, give him the benefit this season as we have sen in the past, some players do turn it around, first season in a very bad team didn't help him, plus change of manager and system.
6.) 04 Aug 2023 18:53:21
Not surprised gingerdan, just ###### annoyed.
7.) 04 Aug 2023 20:20:20
Bluepasty, got to agree with you mate. Some take longer to adapt than others when coming to a new team. And, as you rightly pointed out, it was a struggling team at that. DM took a little while to adjust and he was the whipping boy at the time so it shows things can turn around. Hopefully NM can have a similar renaissance this season? He will be around until January at least so we have to suck it up and see I suppose.
8.) 04 Aug 2023 21:08:34
The problem with Maupay being the link up man means he would have to put the additional work in of a midfielder, which he doesn't do. I'd play any other available forward from the squad, u23s and u18s before I played Maupay. Get him gone asap.
9.) 04 Aug 2023 21:44:13
Agree with fc posts looks lost on his own upfront just offers nothink and i would chuck in anybody in u21s or 19s before him but got a funny feeling he will be starting next week when he shoudnt yes he's in the shop window but can you really see him gone after 31st august i can't then questions do need to get asked as what justifies him to be starting when he's scored one goal in 28 matches last season the press should listen to the fans more and its a shame majority of us all agree yet are questions cannot be put forward really annoying.
03 Aug 2023 19:43:57
Chemitti in and Richarlison on loan. Now I would take that.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely DFS..
1.) 03 Aug 2023 20:03:24
Yes please!
2.) 03 Aug 2023 20:34:45
That would be one hell of a window, bring it on.
3.) 03 Aug 2023 20:35:47
Is that another rumour, dfs, or just a personal opinion? Can't keep up with all these players we get linked with, there's a new one every hour or so!
4.) 03 Aug 2023 20:40:02
That would be the dream guys.
5.) 03 Aug 2023 21:24:33
Think it’s just a comment following a TikTok video he posted of himself in an Everton kit. Can’t see Spurs letting him go, especially if Kane goes.
6.) 03 Aug 2023 21:20:41
The dream is much bigger than that Duaney:
Get in Richarlison on loan for peanuts with Spurs footing most the bill
Sell Gray
Sell Gomes
Sell Gbamin
Sell Alli
Sell Holgate
Get in another winger.
{Ed025's Note - do you really think Daniel Levy would loan us back Ritchie for peanuts BR?, only if he has been visited by 4 ghosts mate..
7.) 03 Aug 2023 22:28:40
Doubt Levy will want us sending him peanuts again, ed025. He came home last time after a few months ?
Cheers, JB, was wondering what I had missed. Good to see he's still got affection for the club. In the nicest possible way, I hope he doesn't do anything for Spurs and we can nick him back for a decent fee! Pipe dream, I know. As you say, he will definitely be needed if Kane goes and I think he's having a good pre-season so there's more chance of ed dusting off his boots, having a Peter Reid-esque medical and starting as our new number 9!
{Ed025's Note - i think i would be better than Maupay BP.. :)
8.) 03 Aug 2023 22:49:52
?? from what he's served up so far I can't disagree with your reply mate!
I'm hoping he turns it round this year, especially if we use him in a position that's more suited to his abilities. He's not big and strong to hold it up but I think he could play off a main striker. He puts the effort it, can't fault him for that I suppose. I'm taking a leaf out of TT's book, a positive mindset. It might be blown out of the window by tea time a week on Saturday but we will see!
Looking forward to getting football back, let's just hope we put on more of a show this season.
9.) 04 Aug 2023 07:08:39
Get me some white face paint, some battered torn old clothes, loud chains and Levy’s back door key ed025 and I’ll see what I can do.
{Ed025's Note - i think Bill Kenwright would make a better Jacob Marley than you gibbo, Moshiri could be the ghost of Everton past and Sean Dyche as Bob Cratchett, its certainly a pantomime at the moment mate..
10.) 04 Aug 2023 19:40:46
ED you're forgetting BK does all his business over lunch in restaurants such as Rules! He apparently was face down over the table offering Levy dessert doing the deal for Richarlison. Story - Once walked out on Rules when the Head Man dared to tell FinL our table would be ready in 2 minutes.
30 Mar 2023 17:17:16
Sean has apparently been reassured by the Everton board that no FFP rule breaking has occured!
{Ed025's Note - i hope thats the case DFS..
1.) 30 Mar 2023 17:36:31
Yep read that mate, I trust SD.
2.) 30 Mar 2023 19:01:52
PSG had a 10m fine for breaking rules, the biggest fine yet.
Seems counterintuitive as wouldn’t this put more not less debt on to the club.
You watch, we’ll be the first club punished with a 12 point deduction.
{Ed002's Note - Certainly won’t be the first club punished.}
3.) 30 Mar 2023 19:26:36
Not even been evidenced yet and in any case will drag on for months. Moshri may well be naive as to football but he has 'friends' and himself with deep pockets, when it comes to it there will be vigorous defence. 12 points won't happen.
{Ed002's Note - You have no idea what will happen. The excuses to date have been pitiful and rejected, if they change this now they have been lying.}
4.) 30 Mar 2023 20:19:12
Of course I and you have no idea, that was just my opinion, I am not a lawyer (sports) either but it would be naive to believe Moshri would not have a couple.
{Ed002's Note - What have lawyers got to do with it? You seem to be very confused.}
5.) 30 Mar 2023 21:09:27
Not confused at all.
6.) 30 Mar 2023 21:39:49
It definitely won't be a points deduction. That would damage the competitiveness of the PL and at the moment that is something we don't need. We are under pressure from the proposed El and also the government. If found to be in breach the punishment will be in line with the breach. Personally I'd prefer a points deduction than transfer restriction. The punishment will include a fine but after liaising with the PL for the entire period the breach apparently happened the PL will only come out of it looking bad aswell.
The sensible outcome for both sides if proven is a suspended penalty.
7.) 30 Mar 2023 22:51:11
I agree.
8.) 31 Mar 2023 10:33:28
You make some very good points Smit666. Seems to me blood will be spilled some way for someone. I hope I'm wrong and your right.
9.) 01 Apr 2023 00:01:36
Based on our accounts sounds like if we get relegated we could easily go to the wall. This really is a staggering mess. If by some miracle Dyche keeps us up, there is going to need to be more culling of the squad (which is pretty awful as it is! ) and wheeling and dealing and what sounds like an inevitable points deduction making it very difficult to then stay up the following season. Looks like we may end up with the best stadium in the championship. I really fear we are going to be the next derby or Bolton and will be in league 1 before we know it thanks to moshiri.
10.) 01 Apr 2023 09:37:20
------You don't understand the situation and scratching around and trying to make comparisons won't help.-----
11.) 01 Apr 2023 09:55:00
Ed002. He didn’t say they would be the first club punished did he? Your comment is so out of context it’s unreal.
{Ed002's Note - Ok if you want to be pedantic - Everton will not be the first club getting a 12 point deduction - there have been others but perhaps the pig ignorant like you don't know it just wish to troll the site. I am thinking about removing his account as well as yours.}
12.) 01 Apr 2023 14:48:19
For financial irregularity issues within the PL I can't think of any clubs getting a points deduction to be fair Ed002. Outside of the PL well you are absolutely correct there have been plenty of clubs receiving points deductions for financial irregularities and breach of regulation. The owner and Everton Board have got us into this situation and deserve to be hauled over the coals. Unfortunately it is unlikely that they themselves will be held to account but the club will. If found to have broken P&S regulations by the independent panel, then punishment is warranted.
In my opinion PL football needs an independent review body that has the ability to look at the way the PL is actually run and come up with a simple set of fair unambiguous regulations for all to follow.
{Ed002's Note - Right. Clubs not indivuals are held responsible unless their has been anything illegal determined to have been happening. There is a new independent football regulator but they won't be writing regulation. The existing regulation is fair and unambiguous and clubs are briefed aabout all changes at the start of each season.}
13.) 01 Apr 2023 16:20:26
The current P/ S is fair and like many want, if it was scrapped the big clubs would just get further away than they already are.
Our fans want a change because we have an owner that seemingly wants to blow all his money but can't. Most other clubs can't though.
Maybe the 15 million limit is out dated due to inflation etc.
14.) 01 Apr 2023 15:36:48

Delete my account as well
Only one pig ignorant person on here.
{Ed002's Note - I am astonished, not how little you all understand about the finances, that is to be expected; but how little you all know about Everton.}
15.) 01 Apr 2023 21:01:44
In all fairness Ed, the club is not recognisable to most of us these days!
16.) 01 Apr 2023 21:46:16
Just to go back to the OP. Assurances from our board literally mean nothing. How many times have they lied recently?
17.) 02 Apr 2023 09:01:15
Maybe part of the reason the supporters know so little is because of the complete inadequacy of the football to communicate and be transparent with the supporters.
I'm not getting back at you Ed002. Just making a simple point. I actually feel sorry for you on here because you go out of your way to try and explain things. Some posters can be very annoying I'm sure. Not aiming that at anyone on this particular thread or not aiming it at anyone specifically at all.
You said a long time ago Ed002 that the club was a complete mess. You obviously knew then what most of us are only getting to know now. I can only speak for myself and I really appreciate your input on here. Long may it continue.

19.) 02 Apr 2023 15:26:09
All input is welcomed, especially if it offers insight that’s not already been put forward. Think some could work in their delivery at times, on both sides of the debate, to avoid the unnecessary sniping.
I can understand how lots of fans cannot understand how some of the spending of other Prem clubs goes unpunished. Yes, I know, it’s within the rules that are clearly set out, and we’ve broken those rules, please let’s go down that route again. It can appear unbalanced though, rightly or wrongly - think we all just need to accept that we’ve managed our finances incredibly poorly since Moshiri took over and move on. Just hope we can recover quickly.
20.) 02 Apr 2023 15:47:57
Absolutely JBtoffee. Although you have a point that the rules seem to favour some more than others that didn't cause our demise. The biggest reason and pretty much the only reason Everton F. C. is in this mess is whatever happened in house. We can't blame that on any rules or any other clubs. We were our own worst enemy really. Just feel sorry for the supporters.

According to the Mail, Frank Lampard has now been sacked as the manager of Everton after a dismal run of form has left them fighting for their lives in 19th place in the Premier League.

Yep Baines and Tait to take training till new manager is found.

8.) 23 Jan 2023 16:47:37
Yep club still haven’t announced it yet, just got sent a caption by my son saying we were actually formed in 1874 but it took till 1878 for the club to announce it.

new manager Steve Bruce at finch farm now.
10.) 23 Jan 2023 18:45:36
Who are we actually going to get?
Bielsa or potch for me. Close to zero chance of getting potch though. Bielsa will at least give us that attacking edge we are longing for.
{Ed025's Note - poch??? Your having a giraffe if you think he would come mate..

To be fair, that is a quote attributed to before FM took over. He has destroyed this club in the 8 years or so he's been in control though.

Have noticed since that little clear the air, this board has become far more polite and civil. Hence why I started posting again. Long may it last. That and I like most gave up worrying about this Club. It is what it is.

That is one won at last but shouldn't have happened in first place. Wonder if the VAR guy will be rested. Points deduction decision now, deserved to be punished for that but way over the top.
3.) 09 Jan 2024 21:47:51
No but they could apologise by giving us our 10 points back.
23 Dec 2023 23:55:53
I am/ have been one of the biggest critics/ moaners. This Everton side is totally different than pre points deduction. Coincidence probably but more likely the most fit Everton side I have seen since the 80's. Unlucky today, the better side? Obviously not, can we beat City, hard ask. Can we put relegation to bed? I think we are good enough. Will the appeal board wipe out or reduce the points? There is no evidential or justification for such a harsh penalty.
1.) 24 Dec 2023 08:17:57
Good to have you back mate, as usual good post.
2.) 24 Dec 2023 09:16:02
I think we had improved before the points deduction Bill. I think it has taken time for Dyches message to get through.
Should have got something against Spurs but hey ho.
Merry Christmas all you Blues. See you on the other side.

Walked away with a nice payoff, affected by nothing. No financial penalty for them or the Club. Instead it is a sporting penalty, punishing loyal supporters/ fans of the Club paying hundreds of ££££ every season.

Over some 40 odd years every time I returned to UK, invariably it was to London and its' region. I got to watch Everton many times at 'my' home games. Our away fans have always been tremendous and even now with the destruction wrought with Moshri, advisors and the (hrmmmmmmm) real owner, these fans are unbelievable.
01 Apr 2024 17:26:44
He says some stupid stuff. I honestly thought he was a tough no nonsense type but boy was I mistaken. Indecisive, slaps players round the head, sends on a 40 year old to change the game. No wonder others left him alone.
01 Apr 2024 22:02:30
