Failure to kick on

I find myself once again at the start of a season stunned and shocked at Everton refusal to build on a previously great season. We've done it twice already after finishing 4th and 6th (last season was mainly saved by the Yak deal and look at the drawn-out affair that was!). Other clubs are investing and seriously attempting to improve, we seem content to stand still with the attitude from the board of "let's wait and see!". No other club would throw away the opportunity we've had each time.
Let's face it, we're not the most attract side to big stars (be they British or foreign), yet we had and currently have European football to offer. We dally over deals, alert all other clubs and never seem to be able to simply buy a player. Now I see today that Arsenal are sniffing after Moutinho, if that's true, well then, that's it.
The boardroom rumours if you want to call them that, are always there and always will be until the club is sold to a big investor willing to back the club, but it's the over-opmistic Bill Kenwright that frightens me. He never matches his "apparent" desire to get the money or players for the club.
Anyway, to sum it all up, I'M VERY FRUSTRATED and WORRIED. We'll be lucky if we break into the top 10 rather than the top 4 if we continue and eventually the opportunity we've been given to grow will be lost AGAIN! And if that happens (and we've seem it in the past past with Royle), our big names will also drift away.
I really believe it's time the fan's demanded an explanation from Kenwright and Co....

Anyway, i’m still hopeful of one of those early season good starts (which rarely follow form)which can effect who actually ends up coming to the club. We’re still attractive to a lot of decent players at mediocre clubs who will get more desperate later in the month.
In the end who knows whats really happening. An eternal mystery at a football club.

His passion for the Blues is there to be seen on the tv but behind the scenes he's on the bones of his arse. Every pre-season we have tabled bids for players who would never come to us but using the spin of putting bids to ease the fans. It's getting boring. Now just come out with the truth. He says watch this space. Still watching...
