“And I quote, Your Honour”

It looks like we're now in panic mode in the transfer market after working 24/7 doing nothing for the past 3 months. Whatever happens it will be too little too late for a number of reasons:

1. Most supporters have finally had enough and the goodwill generated by last seson's success has more than evaporated. It was evident at Burnley what faith and belief from the supportes can do and all we do is create cynicism right now.
2. Moyes and the players look totally demotivated in fact Moyes looks as if he's punch drunk. He may well have been told "you don't control the sale of players the men in suits do."
3. At best we will only be replacing what we lost in Lescott, Valente, Jacobsen and VdM never mind doing without Yak, Jags and Arteta.
4. We've got the media against us again having almost won them over with a 5th place finsh and cup final appearance but I suppose this time they are calling it right.
5. We've allowed the competition to become stronger than us.

Work is well underway to strengthen Everton's squad.

Blues chairman Bill Kenwright, manager David Moyes and chief executive Robert Elstone are all focussed on adding to the players who finished fifth in the Barclays Premier League last season and contested the FA Cup final.

Mr Elstone explained that improving the squad was Everton's key objective this summer.

"There is an awful lot of work going on," he told evertonTV. "We are talking to a number of players and a number of Clubs. The chairman is in constant dialogue with the manager and where I need to get involved, I am doing that.

"We absolutely recognise the need to strengthen - we are fiercely ambitious and if that is the case then you need to go one step further than fifth place and one step further than appearing in an FA Cup final.

"To do that we know we need to bring talent in and we are not sitting on our hands in any way.

"We are determined to strengthen the squad and take to the field in 2009/10 with a better squad than 2008/09 and that is the core strategy of the football Club."

Operative words being CORE STRATEGY!! If they can't get a CORE STRATEGY correct in 3 months, what chance the future of our club in these hands.

I was told recently that Green thinks our club is a circus, much along the lines that Gregg claimed when he had the acrimonious fall out with Beloved Bill.

I have documented extensively that I can't stand Kenwright because he's a liar but as a longstanding Evertonian of 50 years I am finally thinking that, if he doesn't go, I will.

There must be another hobby that would not frustrate me the way that EFC under Kenwright does.
