I was getting Xmas decorations out from the basement and found loads of 1976 cup final stuff etc

yeah but Everton were the first to have dugouts

100% agree. If he hadnt been in the Portugal Euro squad he would still be happy picking up his thousands a week and think nothing of it. He seems a changed man since the summer

If you have an asset that has cost 30m and is worth 2-300m putting some more money in as a loan to the business is not a disaster. As for my own personal situation, Im Ok thanks, not inherited millions but very fine all the same

Ron I thought you were better than 'You werent there' Tv is not the best way but the high lights show the positive things of the game and he was involved in a lot of those. Sitting amongst the partizan crowd can give you a scewed view of things and a lot of the morons wouldnt know which way you should kick the ball

I don't quite get the part where you say, Katrina restructured against her own estate. Its her frigging business and like my own business I would add my own private funds if need be. All she has done is add funds from other assets to probably her now most profitable one. Yes we all would like self funding assets, the self funding part means from us of course, we pay £45 for shirts, £30 for shorts, high s/t charges and watch our quality players sold. It is no charitable contribution by the loan, it is keeping her very profitable asset going. I understand it is hers and she can do as she likes, but it seems to me that some want to make it seem she is doing something special by restructuring when it is just protecting the very good asset.

i wasnt at the game but the bits I saw on tv showed him to be the major influence, the problem being if Austin iswell marked there is little other threat. Redmond does not deserve to be the player who takes the stick.

Lol

Redmond is a decent player and with patience become a very good player.The fans could be a factor fo holding him back by putting him under pressure.

is it the manager or was it the total complancency in the summer not getting 1 or 2 players in to replace the 33 goals sold off. Also does Reed get commission/bonus on profits of players sold, I know managers used to.

It seems to me Jose has not been the player he was since his Euro success and the apparent interest from Man U. It is about time the players spent a couple of weeks working alongside the fans that adore them, see how they have to live so that they can get in their 10+ year old cars and chug up to away games, making sacrifices to pay for tickets , fuel food to get t matches and then see the players they adore not bother to play and then moan as they cant get a wage rise on the contracts they signed at 40k+ a week.

whilst agree we should have invested in more players, its easy to pic the ones who have joined clubs and done ok. Many of the big buys are flops.

Charlie on a totally different subject, why have you Sir Hugh Dowding as your avatar?

Not cup tied I assume, makes him more desirable for clubs in Europe so we can get more dosh I assume

we didnt do enough business in the summer to be able to fight on 3 fronts. If we get through on Thursday in the Europa all things will lokk rosy again and we can stop doing quite so much rotation

Im reading this thread and watching Sky at the same time, it is amazing how the 2 seem to being played on different planets. Sky positive while on here lol

Koeman is Dutch lol

after his humiliation by Sims on sunday and the Everton fans not happy, I wouldnt be surprised if a few are thrown in

I dont think he will end up at Everton, but their interest is there

The special grass must have an impact as well. Surely all the teams who go to FP must revel playing on real grass, it obviously lifts their game.

VVD will go, it is now the usual unsettling period when the clubs use journos to show their interest and unsettle players. Everton interest is probably very true and I diid see that VVD talks regularily to RK!!

Happy birthday , I was told by a friend of his that he hasnt been too well recently

I totally understand the concept and if you are out to pocket money then that is the way, but if the club could actually build a team that won things perhaps we would then be the club players wanted to join for glory not a leg up to better things. Whilst it is nice seeing our players develop into top players at our club. there might be a day when we have to boo every club that visits due to them buying our players.We already have Libverpool,ManU,Spurs,Everton
