I think the sell on figure has been reported as 15%. I may be wrong but I don't think it's 15% of the fee but 15% of the difference between the buying fee and the selling fee if that is more.

Nobody's listening but they are so into their little bubble they don't even know it.

Who

That's a relief.

It seems maybe two years is a good number provided the new incoming manager continues the progress. It stops complacency creeping in and allows a new impetus on a regular basis. How many times have we seen managers stay too long and taking a club downwards before being sacked and a rescue having to be carried out by somebody else. We may have dodged a bullet.

Who in their right mind would believe them after their open door policy of the Blair/Brown governments. Supporters of all parties have long memories and won't be fooled.

I think he just about sealed it for Leave yesterday. FFS it's immigration and the lack of school places, houses and NHS waiting times that affect ordinary people every day, not the economy that is driving the leave vote. Ignoring that is the reason the Leave support appears to be increasing.

Have the EU managed to impose their dangerous flight time limitations yet?

Absolutely, the above comment was assuming they had decided to go. If they want to stay that's another scenario altogether.

RIP Tony, I remember him as very energetic, enthusiastic midfielder.

Of course personally having let Koeman go, I would block his two assistants joining him and put them on gardening leave.

I agree, there is really no place for him or anybody who is thinking about their position if they don't continue the success. We need somebody that believes in themselves and wants the job.

If Koeman decided to stay and accept the £4m it's possible he could end up with a legal problem with his previous agent who negotiated it with the club, so would require his fee.

Somebody should tell Koeman that Everton are a big club with a history, he might get a move on and we can replace him. Kevin Kilbane talking about Coleman said that he suffered from being in a poor Everton side. I think we can all agree on that. Everton are paying for a genius, think they are getting a genius but if he gets into the same sort of runs that he had at the start of last season and the horrendous run in mid winter when he didn't seem to have a clue how to get out of it and got lucky, they will see that money doesn't make a decent manager into a genius.

I'm surprised that there has been no comments on here about the Leaked Foreign Office telegrams. From our Ankara Embassy, proposal for 1.5m special Turkish passport holders to get visa free rights to UK. From The Hague on how co-operative the Dutch ( currently holding Presidency of the EU) are being, delaying issues that might adversely affect the referendum, until after June 23rd. Immigration is the decisive subject. The scare tactics of the last month has turned the electorate off. They are just not listening. Get ready for a big two finger salute from a large proportion on 23rd Jun.

I don't get the leave side letting Eagle get away with the comment about 90% of economists supporting remain which isn't true. In fact 4000ish were polled, only 600 responded of which 90% supported remain. An entirely different scenario altogether. Only 15% of economists polled supported remain. There was also the myth of the 500m EU being the biggest single market, China is about 2b and India 1m. In 1973 the 8 EEC members accounted for 31% of the worlds output, today the EU 28 account for just 17%. In 1973 we exported 36% to 11 EEC countries, last year we exported 36% to the same 11 and only 10% to the remaining 17.

Just a thought, Is Moshiri gifting the huge amounts of money to Everton without strings or is it a loan against assets. If it is, we've seen that lead to problems down the track elsewhere. Another thought with such an increase in income do they have to pay tax on it.

Have they paid the £5m yet?

It could be routine and just taking longer than expected or even her indoors kicking off as they sometimes do.

I can well understand Everton having such a poor home record in front of thousands of gobby Liverpudlians with an overinflated sense of entitlement. If those that have come on here are anything to go by. No wonder they were so much better away. If I was them I wouldn't get my hopes up because there could be massive disappointment in the pipeline. Koeman is a half decent manager but he doesn't do miracles.

Billionaire ???? that does his own thing. Reminds me of the Lowe story negotiating, saying before you start I'm not paying more than £xxxxxxx when they were willing to sell to us for about half.

Let me spell it out for you. In Dec and Jan the team managed 4 points in 8 games and were knocked out of two cups including losing 6-1 to Liverpool reserves. Koeman was under notice to improve and not far from the sack. He was lucky in that Pelle was injured and he had to play Long coinciding with Forster keeping 6 clean sheets and bought himself time and the team was better with Long up front. Koeman had one year left and two options either sign up for longer or be sacked as we didn't want a one year lame duck manager as we all know what happens there. Enter our saviour, as Koeman wasn't signing rather than having to pay for option two Everton kindly stepped in and offered us £5m to take the problem off our hands. That will now pay for the next three years of a decent manager. I wish you the best of luck and when Ronald gets into one of his poor phases without seeming to know how to get out of it, it will be interesting to view how Everton deal with it.

Thanks that must have been it, it was a friendly under permanent lights.

I thought the first floodlit game was at the Dell?

I think cloud and cuckoo come to mind. Spurs thought that and nobody was allowed to go to Spurs. It will be the same for Everton. Anybody but Everton. Of course there could be exceptions £30m for Ward Prowse would just compensate us and maybe £20m for Pelle would be good value. They are really vital parts of our team and if they need a lift I'll drive them up myself.
