Topic: The People's Club (I was saying Boo-urns)

[SamLad]

This was my understanding based on that long read in The Athletic a few weeks back. They’re kind of at net zero now as it were (not based on the cumulative loss threshold, they’re still horribly mired there and could run into more trouble) and any further sales will count as profit they could feasibly spend.

They’ll let Allan and Mina leave for maybe a combined £20m - £25m as both have asked to leave the club and then use that on maybe one or two signings or even big signing on fees for the likes of Lingard. They’re reportedly desperate to keep Calvert-Lewin and see him as integral, but I think if Newcastle do test the waters with £60m+ his head will be turned.

and he will cough, vigorously.

Drunken left the club to "pursue a managerial job".

In other words he's off the staff and out.

They'd need their entire Main Stand wall and more to pin what the blue quarter were calling them throughout the rest of the season.

It shows the impact fans can have on a club and how the players can have an impact on the fans

I find it mad that he feels they even need to be shown this.

  And so dies my dream of him as a permanent Everton manager,hope he takes his favourite cone with him.

Before a home game last season he let the fans do the team talk by sending messages. While he was right to tap into the Goodison crowd and getting them behind the team, (Klopp has done the same) as a manager it's your tactics and motivation that will decide your fate. The crowd can't manage the team for you.

Strange fella him.

[Red Beret]

They can’t spend the Richie money as that was part of the deal with the PL. they had to find £50m to cover some of the losses in the prior 3 years by 30th June.

Probably why the fa didn't slap a ban on him over the flare incident. They couldn't risk harming the value one of Everton's few saleable assets.

The highest paid assistant manager in England is no more.  Things must be bad with the finances at Everton if they've finally decided to bank that saving.

I confidently predict Drunken will never get paid more as a manager that he did at Everton.

Reading GOT in the Duncan Ferguson thread and found myself agreeing with Davek.

Tell us more (but not in too much graphic detail)

Quite a few people who saw through his 'legend' status, just shocked they haven't all been banned for being closeted redshites.

He's definitely been pushed rather than jumped.

He's like that drunk slumped in the corner of the pub every night that would be there permanently if he wasn't escorted home every night. No way did Ferguson want to leave there. He could bag a decent wage for basically sleepwalking through his role at the club.

He's made an easy living out of doing very little, and they've indulged him for years simply because he supposedly 'gets them.' 

[SalahsLeftFoot]

Oh look, right on cue the FA/PL finally decide to hand out a one match game to Richarlison for the flare/smoke bomb incident that happened with a month of the season still to go.

And yet there are still people who refuse to believe they are both as corrupt as fuck

Had to leave Keane at Goodison...

[davidlpool1982]

You'd be absolutely fuming if you were Burnley. Even Leeds might be annoyed as they have missed out on some money due to finishing a place behind the shite.

That's a bad joke. Talk about getting special protection. Everton are the Duncan Ferguson of the Premier League.

I don't know but apparently he's 26

Hahaha, saw this and immediately thought of Brendan. I reckon if there was a behind the scenes type documentary about Everton's pre-season Lampard would absolutely pull 3 envelopes out.

Very well paid to put the cones out in the morning. His 7 figure contract was up and they've got rid, or offered him a pittance to stay as Lampard has his own staff with him.

He's 50 now, so not some aspiring young manager anymore. He's several years older than Lampard. He's laughing all the way to the bank anyway with what he's took from Everton for doing nothing.

Or in alternative reality, now he's free to take up the offer of assisting Ancelotti at Real Madrid after turning them down last year.

Should have been a straight red and a three match ban. Precedent has been set now. Burnley and Leeds should be luvid

In order to have a precedent you first need consistency. Of that, there is precious little to none in the PL.

Send Bill Kenwright round then.

Like any passionate luvid he loves the smell of greasepaint, the roar of the crowd.

As it's the pigeon we're talking about, should Leeds be luvid-dovey?

Frank Lampard is currently trawling the internet trying to find positive messages to send to Bozo Johnson.

He definitely took part in the 'Clap for Boris' during the first lockdown when he was in hospital with Covid

[disgraced cake]

Meanwhile, I see the Kenyon consortium are still putting it out there that they'd like to continue with their plans to take over the club. Loads of Blues pointing out that there's a number of alarm bells ringing judging by how they've gone about things, and I'm inclined to agree, they look really dodgy.

That being said, get it done, Farhad.

He's been offered the manager's job at Spud-U-Like in St. John's market.


Good at mashing potato insides apparently, with his head.

That is mental money for him

newcastle weakening other relegation fodder like they did with chris woods last year

[Red Beret]

At £35m, Everton should snap Newcastle's hand off. That's insane money for someone barely tested.

They can't really say know as they're desperate for the money; but they're not competent enough to use the money wisely either, so it just ends up weakening the team further.

[Son of Spion]

Those dives don't come cheap.

[bird_lfc]

7 combined goals and assists last year wasn’t it? They’d be foolish NOT to accept that kind of offer

[RedSince86]

And so it starts, Saudi FC distorting the market further like Sportswash teams do by wanting some average player for £35 million.

Wtf do they see in him by besides his penchant for going to ground more times than he touches a ball during a match, an absolute nothing player with no end product.

[Dim Glas]

Newcastle are spending their dirty money quite well so far, I’d be amazed if they would be throwing 35 mill at a forward with 4 goals in 40 games last season.

[SamLad]

if he's the best you can get for 35mill these days, the game is 100% absolutely in a death spiral.
