AS Roma favoured over Everton FC

And along with the Dividend clawback, and the Dan Friedkin no-show, perhaps we have good reason to worry.

1. 1 point off the leaders.
2. They've got European football and had more success than struggle vs us.
3. They're a genuine Top 5 side in Italy, and regularly prove it.
4. The project is further ahead.
5. Fantastic city with better weather. It is one hell of a place, and I love Liverpool. More attractive for homegrown and South American players.

I know they saved us and they ask for our support, but we need a fix of cash injection for the team, and some nice royal blue paint for the stadium would be nice.

Oh, and along with a new recruitment team, as the one we have has accumulated a bigger heap of garbage as the Birmingham bin strike, and they are making the place stink.

Regardless of what some think, much can be done in 1 year as many clubs prove, it's just Everton Football Club that continually uses the transition excuse.

Have Brentford sat there this season after losing their much loved boss and core of their team and said "Let's just finish 16th this season and start from scratch this summer"?

It always seems to be this club that is stuck in the mud.

What would TFG gain by not exploring every avenue that could make EFC a truly competitive club again?

Until then, I just see this as pursuing victim ‘status'.

Not wanting to see the supporters lining the streets for the last ever game at Goodison?

Not wanting to be there for the opening of the new stadium, to witness the most integral people connected to our club?

TFG are coming across as “very cold” with regards them not showing their face... but maybe I'm just an old-fashioned fool?

One question: How much did they buy us for and how much could they sell us for?

This all said, however, I see that Dan the man was at the Roma match over the weekend and that's two at least this season. He has clearly chosen not to come to Everton, even though our city is around 1,000 miles closer to Dallas than the 'eternal city'.

What this ultimately means, I don't know. Let's see. Remember that NBA 'dude' who signed on with TFG and trumpeted that he would be at The Old Lady? He hasn't been either.

What fucking owner is not at the first game in a brand new state-of-the-art stunningly located stadium?

Yanks might think and do things differently at times, but when I last looked Everton was still in England. You don't understand us really, do you? Perhaps Friedkin is planning to move 'the franchise' to Omaha or Birmingham Alabama?
