Ed, where do we stand regarding transfers before deadline day, and who has the say in who we go for, or is it on hold till a new manager is appointed which may prob go on till the board agree a replacement.

{Ed002's Note - Everton have added two defenders and a winger on loan. The fans have no real understanding of the situation are absolutely trashing the owner and the club have significant FFP issues. The club has assets it may be able to sell and would like to resolve the management issue but options will be limited somwhat by it not being the most attractive of clubs to join. Fortunately the club have well paid advisors.}

The said new signings were by Rafa, who may not fit into the new managers regime, Patterson for 1, hasn't been used as of yet, the assets we have are current players, some on very high wages, the manager, whoever it is, may have to have sell some, if any, of the high earners, to get us under, and give us a transfer budget in the summer, I've no doubt, Dunc will turn resuts around, to get us safe, begining with a cup win against Brentford, i hope we can trust in the board to do the best, but i'm unsure.

No we do not understand (fully) FFP. We do know (sort of) thanks to Eds that the Club are according to Premiership and UEFA rules, in a financial mess. The owner has invested in the Club via Company loans, from the outside looking in huge outlays (transfer, wages and contract lengths) have been made in mediocre players and many Managers hired and fired. The latter partly due to supporters lack of patience. Frustration with this mess has led to belief that the 'money' men are either taking stupid advice and/ or a thoughtless scattergun approach with little football knowledge. If these advisors are highly paid, I would question for what? Again outside looking in it is either good advice being ignored or very bad advice taken as gospel. Finally if advice is being taken from Agents, then I would certainly question motive.

Most of our squad couldn't be moved on due to a combination of their wages and poor form. C.V. has changed footballs financial situation. I think this should be taken into account and FFP should reflect this.

Ed2 was your reply about fortunately having well paid advisers tongue-in-cheek by any chance?

{Ed002's Note - Tongue in cheek is a speciality of less well paid advisors.}
