Mike G, I\'m disappointed to read you\'ll never agree with me on anything. I\'d have thought two, erm, \"mature\" devout Toffees could do better than that.rnrnAll the best though!rnrn...

Mike @37.
I said we was within a shout of champions league football based on the fact with 6 games to go (19th April) we was at home 1-1 v liverpool, beating them put us in the top 4 and above them, they had there 3rd choice keeper come on and ended up beating us, that helped push them into the champions league positions. That means after 31 and over half the 32nd game we was within 1 goal of top fofour (again at home to a Liverpool side which had been struggling, and again had a keeper in that's no where near premier league standard) that's why I felt we had a chance of playing European football, I'd say most people would see that as a golden opportunity if I'm honest.
Grealish and man city.
We had an agreement in place to sign him for £50m, myself I wouldn't pay it, but if you make an agreement then city can't go back on it, therefore signing Grealish was well within our grasp.
Hope that clears that up.
Proper clubs who have done business.

Anthony Dwyer in Potential Iliman Ndiaye replacements as Everton exit talk continues -
Mark #54, as I've said before, some billionaires get rich by buying and flipping. Some get rich by buying and holding. If the Friedkins flip Everton, it'll be the first time they ever flipped anything. They had a 20-year battle with Toyota of Japan to keep control of their US distributorships when Toyota wanted to buy 'em out. Guess who won.
Don #53, I have no new perceptions, and I would never be in league with you on anything. I've spent 30+ years as a business consultant coaching C-suite executives on effective communication with the world. Some simply choose not to. They stay behind the scenes, and that's what works for them. I'm certainly not gonna tell TFG, a company with $16 billion in worldwide annual revenues, that they're doing business the wrong way. As a fan I do wish they'd choose otherwise.
And I definitely don't understand buying a football club and not going to the games. They're missing out on a fantastic experience, and I understand the food is pretty good...

Mike @ 50, is it not possible you are not clear on the fact people are sick of hearing excuses and reasons for the apparent lack of transfer activity?rnrnI like many of us older fans, have been waiting years for even a hint of success. So, whilst your reasoning may be sound, being told we may have to wait up to 5 years for the TFG group to deliver said success isn\'t something we want to hear rnrnWait for success, wait for the elite recruitment team to get their feet under the table, wait for the transfer rush. rnrnYou keep mentioning SCR, but does anyone actually know the amount we can spend? Not guesswork, not estimates. Because if none of us know, how can we state there is, or isn\'t, money left to spend?rnrnThere is keeping your powder dry, but what use is it if it\'s in permanent storage?rn...

Good that Nordquist is in the door.rnrnThe youngsters will benefit from his experience.rnrnWithout good strikers at least we can cram the midfield and frustrate other teams, not that we really want to see it but we all know Moyes thinks on negativity....
Tom Bowers in What's the plan, Angus? -
Derek, we\'ll have to wait until 5 to 12 because the kid likely will have a half-dozen other offers to choose from. Just this week I\'ve seen Hammers, Ajax, Betis, Como and Porto all reported in for him. rnrnMeanwhile his manager at AZ Alkmaar says he\'ll be in the 11 for their opener on Saturday....
