Stadt Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 Until probably two years ago you’d see Everton fans saying they should sign Vardy Twitter isn’t the best barometer but it’s like the past 35 years haven’t happened. We’ve been in the league 7 years and surpassed them and it’s as though it’s some sort of syntax error for them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matey on Everton forum said it's okay because if he looks great they can come in next season and take him off us. Some of their fans are quite deluded thinking that they can lord it over us. A player may well choose them over us but neither club can bully the other one in the transfer market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player may well choose them over us but neither club can bully the other one in the transfer market. There is a difference between us and Everton now they have an ‘owner’ with billions of disposable income we have an owner with billions of assets You are now seeing the difference played out re expenditure......... their wage bill is going north way faster than most clubs. And they are committed to spending a huge sum on the new stadium. That won’t affect their day to day running of the club. they have been dreadfully underfunded over the kenwright years and they will benefit from the usmanov money now. I expect them to actually become part of the extended big six unless the big six can seal their cartel via some kind of euro league arrangement before Everton crash their party. you’re right that neither of us can bully the other re transfers ............ for the time being. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you can verify that statement, with regards how much disposable income each owner has. My take is, one wants to create a club that is sustainable and grows at a steady pace. The other is more willing to throw his own money at his. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new stadium for Everton may well propel them into the elite clubs again. Or at least draw up level to spurs. It might actually benefit us. We are always prone to.losing players who see the biggest 5 as a guaranteed way of CL football and trophies. If the big 5/6 became an 8 or 9, with us (still the outlier) Everton and West Ham becoming equally as likely to win cups and play European football, players would have to think far more carefully before joining, say, chelsea as it's no longer a nailed on pathway to glory. However, with Spurs, West Ham and Everton all having large flagship stadia, we'll need to step up and push towards a rebuilt (not revamped) KP. I just cannot see the family looking at Everton and Spurs grounds and saying, you know what, let's just stick a tier on the east stand like Cardiff did. The family only do high spec. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By now every fan of PL clubs should have realised that unless you overpay - you’re not gonna buy a player from within the PL. Especially if there’s some parity between the clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 3 March 2021 Share Posted 3 March 2021 (edited) The clubs in the Everton / Newcastle / Villa band missed the boat on being a regular top 6 club when Chelsea and Man City were purchased, and the only (massive) difference between Spurs and Everton bracket is consistently being well run over a 10-15 year period where obviously the gap is now financially so great that its going to be difficult to catch Spurs on a consistent basis. Vichai and Top ownership would never have worked at those clubs as the initial expectation and pressure would have been too high. You'd almost feel those three will sleeping giants for another 20-30 years, cant see how they can catch up at this stage.

Literally everyone who worked under him says he was a toxic individual. I can't believe anyone on here would have any respect for him. Not being a good manager is fine but at least be a decent human being. Seems like Puel is far from being so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxestalk logic this, lets suggest a one-sided deal that only benefits us and wonder why Rudderz can't get it done. Maybe they can loan us Jadon Sancho for the rest of the season with an optional purchase clause of £5m too! Seems reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton thinking they are a more attractive club than us and anything other than a mid-table PL side is comedy gold. No boys, you're thinking of the red team in your city!!

Even he doesn't believe half the tripe he comes out with, he just deliberately goes against the grain. Would rather listen to him winding people up than the pillock Goldstein who covers for him.

It’s a back handed compliment when Durham goes on the wind up like this,and he knows it.Goldstein is getting dangerously close to the daytime slots now.Cannot express how much I dislke him. Not only that but we are now getting to the stage where the ex pros are either thick, dull or both.The Prem generation.I worry for the future of talk Sport tbh.

ozleicester Posted 4 March 2021 Share Posted 4 March 2021 there is not a big six... there is a "Big two"... Man Utd and Liverpool... Look internationally and that is what you see. A couple of years ago Liverpool had 100,000 singing YNWA at the MCG. The media here were falling over themselves to be a part. Everyone else is small time in comparison, again, internationally ... Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Man city are news when they are on top... as Leicester were (and will be again ) but no-one outside an epl fan know or care that Arse are shite this year and wont even think of them unless they return to top four positions. Then literally ask anyone in Australia who Aston Villa, Wolves or Notts Forest are and you will get a complete blank If we were playing Australian Pointless and they topic was greatest EPL teams.... youd get about a dozen pointless answers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
