  Jeff Armstrong in Yakubu backs Maitland-Niles to bring calming presence to Everton
• Brendan at 41rnrnWell I believe there were ongoing conversations and in following pressers, Moyesiah actually referred to Marc again and he referred to conversations with “Brian” their VP Strategy Brian Walker, who is responsible for new acquisitions, financial onboarding and sports strategy. I know this as he is a contact of mine and asked to pick my brains on EFC which I duly obliged and shared my own thoughts to him. ...
  Steve Jones in Another cash injection as Everton issued a tranche of new shares
• Thanks Steve #33Will check that out later but reading your post it seems to me that those conversations were prior to Moyes return. Doesn't necessarily invalidate the claim that, since Moyes returned, he has neither met nor spoken to the Friedkins....

• Paul, rnrnThe net profit from player transactions was £20M, including the sale of Ndiaye. rnrnThe purchase of Balogun for £35M would have required at least £15M from somewhere (if indeed this is how player transfers are paid for). rnrnWhat the above shows is that TFG (through Roundhouse Capital) had put that money (and more) in place in anticipation of the Balogun deal going through. rnrnHow is that not them spending their money on Everton?...

Sure they've put hundreds of millions in, I agree they've done all the sensible financial restructuring. Everton are in a financially better place. Can't be in dispute.
