Everton Rumours Mobile

05 Oct 2024 15:15:58
Hope Tim is in midfield today in place of Doucoure, am reading DCl will not even consider signing a new contract at the mo, this won't end well I'm sure.

05 Oct 2024 15:22:03
Let him go then. We haven’t had the value out of him we should’ve over the last few seasons. Misses too many chances but admittedly is excellent holding up the ball.

I’d like him to stay but I won’t miss him either. He clearly wants to try pastures new. It’s the game, it happens to all clubs and there’s little else we can do about it.

I would hope though that knowing this has been coming for as long as it has, we have identified targets for January or the summer.

{Ed025's Note - we still have Broja to come in Ace..

05 Oct 2024 15:27:09
Let him go if that's his loyalty to Everton. Invested time and money on him and won't get anything in return.

05 Oct 2024 15:30:34
Then get shut of him if he won’t sign, never mind we will be above united today when we win.

05 Oct 2024 15:50:26
Agree not sure I would keep him even if he agreed to a contract.

05 Oct 2024 16:31:00
Should have got shut over a year ago.

05 Oct 2024 16:33:54
If he's not interested in signing anew contract pug someone else up front. If geto don't cut it then try Sherif or Benjamin out the u21s.

05 Oct 2024 16:00:51
Yes Ed we do. Escaped my mind. Love this guys energy so I’m hoping we get him going and claim his permanent move in the summer if it works well.

{Ed025's Note - yeah Ace, looking forward to what he brings mate..

05 Oct 2024 18:20:00
Hope Broja likes balls being lumped up to him.

{Ed025's Note - its the midfield thats the problem for me JB, they are all over the place and nobody seems to know where they are supposed to be playing mate, and Doucs is just roaming around like a zombie, a very hard watch up to now and to be honest i cant see us holding out for another 45 minutes..

05 Oct 2024 18:40:06
Can’t argue with that, Ed. We’re still a couple of transfer windows away from having a decent team. Dacoure just doesn’t have the legs for the Premier League anymore.

{Ed025's Note - your right JB..

05 Oct 2024 19:17:47
Agree about midfield Ed025. Never organised and probably because Dyche don't use them during matches. Doucoure needs to come off. Looks like he's running in mud.

{Ed025's Note - Doucs tries Dentie but hes a waste of time like Harrison mate, you cant play with 9 men and expect to beat teams, we got away with a point there but we cant ride our luck in every game..

05 Oct 2024 20:37:55
Have to agree about Midfield, he has got them playing like a load of strangers. As fir Dom i wouldn't even offer him a contract, i know it can be difficult the ball just lumped up to him but he can't hold it up at any time.

06 Oct 2024 00:35:31
Midfield are all suffering from stiff necks watching the ball sail over their heads. It’s the Neolithic tactics that are killing us, this long ball crap in the hope we get on to a knock-down. Again conceding possession to the away team, I bloody hate this hoof ball crap.

06 Oct 2024 13:35:00
We play so much hoof ball I think we could do with a farrier when fitting players with boots.

03 Oct 2024 18:46:42
Reading that JB has pulled up in training, hope all is well for him by Sat.

03 Oct 2024 19:35:14
OH God, not Keane again. Last season Keane played nine league games, we lost seven of them. This season he played five league games we lost four of them.

03 Oct 2024 19:36:10
That’s all we need.

03 Oct 2024 20:29:52
Out until after the international break apparently.

03 Oct 2024 20:38:02
Keane, tarky and young up against a player of Gordon's pace.

03 Oct 2024 21:38:59
Can't finish his dinner though.

04 Oct 2024 12:29:12
Hopefully Jake O Brien will play.

04 Oct 2024 21:47:01
Well one would hope so GB but SD has to shown any willingness to use him over Keane. Can't really see why we bought O'Brien if you prefer to use a player like Keane who has shown time after time that he is not good enough.

04 Oct 2024 23:27:00
I'm sure dyche plays Keane when he can in the hope he plays well.

{Ed025's Note- its certainly not ideal Dentie as is playing Young, but its a case of mend and make do im afraid mate, yes he could gamble with O,Brien but he sees him every day so there must be a reason he is reluctant to throw him in..

05 Oct 2024 00:08:50
Ed025 Well we see Keane game after game and he is useless and the statistics tell us that if he plays we have a good chance of losing. Not sure what we have to lose in giving O'Brien a chance. If you remember SD said the same thing about JB last season and played Keane with the same losing results, when he was pretty well forced into playing JB things turned around.

{Ed025's Note - yeah i agree BM and im not condoning the selection process of Sean mate, im just saying why i think he will play Keane, he actually said Iliman was not premier league ready a few weeks ago and he has been probably our best player..

05 Oct 2024 11:54:05
Thanks Ed025 mate, what I do know is that Keane is not premier league ready. Well as usual, regardless of who plays, I will have my Everton jersey on and be yelling for the blues, we need a win and against Newcastle and Gordon, it will be even more satisfying.

{Ed025's Note - i think we are all the same Mike, we dont always agree with Dyche on his team but once they cross that white line we are all rooting for them mate, im not a fan of Young or Keane but once they wear that blue shirt i am praying for them to do well (actually Young has done well the last 2 games), a win today would be massive but they are a decent team and a draw would not be the end of the world i feel mate...i just want us to move up the league so i can breathe easy and enjoy my golf tomorrow without my red mates giving me stick.. :)

05 Oct 2024 15:26:32
I look at the table and keep thinking we should be 3 points further up. Still struggling to get my head around the Bournemouth game. Would love 3 points today and sitting in or around 13th going into the break.

27 Sep 2024 08:43:57
Henrique Carmo from Sao Paulo the latest to be linked.

Know nothing about the kid but had a little watch of him. He has brilliant feet and ball control. Perhaps most surprising, especially as he is a winger, is his intelligence to play the ball and find the right option rather than hold onto it.

Would much rather be linked to the likes of this lad and Minteh than some bang average wingers we have been in recent windows. This new approach certainly looks a lot better.

27 Sep 2024 18:52:43
You mean like Harrison? Who Leeds think we’re going to give them 11m for.

27 Sep 2024 19:46:38
Zero chance of getting a work permit.

29 Sep 2024 16:18:02
We can only dream Harrison needs a work permit….

30 Sep 2024 13:09:12
Harrison as a squad player for 10M is a good deal. As our main RW and/ or for more money, no.

25 Sep 2024 08:43:43
Ed25, what do you believe is a realistic time frame for the takeover to be completed?

{Ed002's Note - Perhaps three months.}

26 Sep 2024 14:31:43
I can’t see it taking three months.

{Ed002's Note - Based on what?}

26 Sep 2024 16:56:19
You would be lucky at 3 months Uran. Still things to get sorted from what I read. Hopefully in time for the next transfer window.

26 Sep 2024 22:23:06
Dear Santa.

26 Sep 2024 22:35:39
Even if it’s done tomorrow it’s doesn’t mean there’s suddenly loads of money to spend. Both Ed’s have warned us about this. FFP is still there even if we’ve changed ownership.

27 Sep 2024 08:27:23
We spent about 45m and made about 80m. Onana was on about 120k a week in wages.

We will have flexibility to spend in January, especially with us moving into the new stadium next season which will increase turnover. Hopefully Dom's wages will be gone and we get rid of Keane and Doucoure's too

If Friedkin is in by Jan, then we will spend. He did the same at Roma and they were in a pickle financially too. He is not going to do anything to jeopardise us as he seems an astute businessman.

We are the lowest spenders in the league for the last 5 seasons. I think Big Al even said we will spend in January and I trust what he posts tbf. He is usually spot on and doesn't butter the fans up with what they want to hear.

Onwards an upwards Swinners. Up the Ev!

27 Sep 2024 16:57:30
Hopefully the city legal win against the premiership will help with our FFP.
We’ll get one of his companies to buy a box in the stands for £500m. 😁.

27 Sep 2024 21:20:29
12 weeks appears to be the timeframe norm, with no hiccups. 3 months is 12 weeks.

26 Sep 2024 10:48:40
Fabrizio Romano stating this morning that Sarri is the managerial choice of Freidkin to replace Dyche.

{Ed002's Note - He is one of a number of coaches the Freiedkin Group has taken advice on - but come next week he may have another job.}

26 Sep 2024 11:30:50
Sarri was recently interviewed about whether he wanted to go back into management and his answer was “yes” hopefully by January …that would seem to tie in with our timeline of takeover as Friedkin hopes to here and in control by before Christmas…but we shall see.

26 Sep 2024 15:43:34
Well I believe that a number of things have to happen before we have a new manager. The takeover has to be completed. The potential new Manager has to want to manage Everton. Whoever the new owner wants has to be available. It may also depend on what results we get before the takeover is complete, if SD wins all of the games (unlikely) then he may hang on until the season ends.
One possibility is that Moshiri will agree to a management change before the takeover is complete. Not sure about the legalities of that happening.

{Ed002's Note - Obviously there is no legal issue if anything were to happen to the manager before the take over is completed.}

26 Sep 2024 16:35:51
OK thanks Ed002. So if Friedkin and Moshiri agree we could see a managerial change at any time?

{Ed002's Note - That is not how it works.}

26 Sep 2024 19:45:41
If by the end of the takeover Dyche has them playing and in a better position in the league (hopefully) . Then it would make sense to leave him in charge to the end of the season. Now i'm no Dyche fan, but changing halfway through the season with a manager who has a different style could be dangerous. So if things are going ok then leave him there.
Why? Because this would give the club time to get the next manager right. It would give the new man time to discuss targets and look at what he already has. And don't forget Dyche's contract runs out in the summer.
So new season, new ground, new owner, hopefully new start.

26 Sep 2024 21:09:52
Yes I agree BB but if we continue to lose games because SD insists on playing Young and Keane and making stupid substitutions that lead to losing points from a winning position then something will have to be done sooner. Maybe even the end of this year maybe too late. Still not sure what the options are for changing manager before the takeover is completed. Can't see Moshiri doing anything so we can only hope that the results start improving so no action is required. What's so galling is that we could have seven points instead of one with better management of the games played.

27 Sep 2024 10:02:33
Agree BM.

27 Sep 2024 11:40:56
Is he due a lobotomy or something?

25 Sep 2024 11:18:16
Sarri is the new name for Manager, who is next "the special one"?

25 Sep 2024 12:12:15
Sure that will infuriate the Roma fans even more to Friedkin.

Mind you sure local shops near ground would do ok when he calls in for his fags! 😃🤮.

25 Sep 2024 13:25:59
why would it bother the Roma fans? because he's ex-Lazio?

25 Sep 2024 14:16:49
Exactly!

26 Sep 2024 19:46:26
Means nothing, we took on Benitez .

24 Sep 2024 22:55:16
Don't know if this has substance, but heard that a mayor bank is in discussion over naming rights and that a big up front payment could be a way forward in terms of the debt issue. if true there may be a little more light at the end of the tunnel. !

25 Sep 2024 06:14:11
I’d be surprised if naming rights generated that much cash. I thought it would be in the tens of millions and we need hundreds of millions if not more to make a dent on the debt issue.

25 Sep 2024 06:15:21
Typical of our style of football,
The CHASE arena 🤣🤣.

25 Sep 2024 07:36:14
Friedkin should have a word with Toyota.

25 Sep 2024 11:56:36
Think it depends on the deal, Twickenham is supposedly 100m but Man City leave it blank til they know how much it needs to be to cover ffp.
Doubt we're getting more than 60m.

26 Sep 2024 16:40:50
Wouldn’t city have to own their stadium to sell the naming rights?

24 Sep 2024 22:50:13
Suggestion now that Freidkin has his eye on Carley as a possible contender. Would be an interesting option.

24 Sep 2024 23:09:33
Carsley sorry.

25 Sep 2024 01:12:37
Prefer him over southgate.

25 Sep 2024 07:36:35
Could live with that.

23 Sep 2024 11:56:37
Looking like Freidkin will be our new owner according to reports.

{Ed002's Note - Friedkin wants to build a multi-club group like a number of others, but having both Roma and Everton would be difficult if both qualified for the same European competition. It would also cut out Bell and Downing and the club would still have to deal with the £1.2B in debt less the MSP debt which would need to be paid before any takeover can take place - I would steer clear of him due to the mess at Roma, but he may make the best cash offer and that will attract Moshiri.}

23 Sep 2024 12:39:34
What is the mess currently at Roma Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Debt, protests over his firing Daniele de Rossi via Lina Souloukou who has been forced to resign.}

23 Sep 2024 12:45:07
Would you say Textor is a better fit than Friedkin Ed?

{Ed002's Note - For me Bell and Downing together in a deal involving MSP would have offered the best solution for all. Textor still needs to sell his shares in Crystal Palace so the timeline would be longer.}

23 Sep 2024 13:29:08
Of the three possible owners, who in your opinion could offer the best long term financial stability ed002?

{Ed002's Note - The problem is paying off more than £1B in debt and that will be a worry to whoever takes on the club. The advantage of Driedkin is that £200M of debit immediately goes away and if he can restructure the remaining debt much of it can then be secured against the new stadium.}

23 Sep 2024 13:30:27
My only problem with Friedkin right now unaware of the mess at Roma is that he is an admirer of Gareth Southgate apparently and would look to replace Dyche with him if he gains control of the club.

23 Sep 2024 13:39:46
Have a word Ed.

23 Sep 2024 13:47:06
I guess that would create a lot of mixed feelings with fans Elvis. Interesting thought. I wonder what a poll would come up with.

23 Sep 2024 14:03:42
Thanks for the info Ed.

23 Sep 2024 14:14:08
Never know ed he might decide to sell roma.

{Ed002's Note - It is possible but thhey would not recover their investment right now. He will wait until he can.}

23 Sep 2024 14:15:15
Love the humour Skylark Brilliant mate.

23 Sep 2024 15:23:05
No onw will protest when they sack Dyche so at least that's something.

23 Sep 2024 15:35:11
Great information ed 002 as always mate just a question if you could possibly answer if friedkin do succeed in taking over everton can you see them looking at a new manager and if that's the case any inside information on who they would like to appoint any information would be gratefull.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, he previously took advice on options.}

23 Sep 2024 16:07:45
is the debt not £600m

then -200 as 200 of it is Friedkins

remaining debt is 200 odd with R&M
200 odd to 777

The extreme debt's anyway.

{Ed002's Note - You may have forgotten the £450M shareholder loans from Moshiri.}

23 Sep 2024 18:15:48
Whilst the debt is a massive issue, would hope that someone who is already involved in football taking over us may be able to figure out ways on how to get on top of it and start running the club like a football club.

Whilst Moshiri has almost delivered us a state of the art stadium, the rest of his tenure has been painful and has highlighted how little he knew of the world of football and how easily he was advised in most cases poorly in terms of recruitment and managerial appointments.

However all the blame can’t be laid at his feet, bill Kenwright should shoulder a large proportion of the responsibility of the mess we’re in.

Hopefully we’ll start to be run properly and can start the long and slow road to recovery.

23 Sep 2024 16:51:39
Won't Moshiri have to take some of that on the chin ed?

{Ed002's Note - Perhaps but he can still keep it on the books.}

24 Sep 2024 08:39:47
Moshiri has wrote off his own loans hasn't he?

25 Sep 2024 12:00:46
If the "Roma and Everton in the same UEFA comp" becomes an issue I think we will all be feeling a lot better.

23 Sep 2024 11:21:23
Dan Freidkin closing in on takeover of Everton FC . ! Source: Echo.

23 Sep 2024 12:11:04
The takeover is crazy, it changes by the hour!

23 Sep 2024 09:39:32
Carlos Corberan being latest manager to take over from Sean if he gets the boot, has done well at West Brom.

23 Sep 2024 10:16:59
Potter for me mate infact even harry potter will do but i think dyche will go he won't walk but his substitutions are questionable and taking ndiaye off when i fought he was best player against Leicester sums it up for me.

23 Sep 2024 10:20:37
He's probably the one we will let slip and end up regretting it. He seems destined for big things. Take him over Potter any day. Probably cheaper too.

23 Sep 2024 11:13:20
Think taking Ndiaye and Linstrom off was a mistake. They were both keeping the Leicester back line busy. Once they went off for Tim and Harrison it allowed Leicester to commit more players forward.
Hopefully the more these three play together the better the understanding will get.
