Everton hypocrisy - the ’Mersey Millionaires’

[Balti]

All these deluded evertonians that come on here and try to play holier than thou with us on the spending money front, would do well to remember that when super rich Littlewoods Pools founder Sir John Moores took over at Everton money was no object and they were known as the ’Mersey Millionaires’ breaking the british transfer record on bob Latchford and lashing out on umpteen others in an attempt to buy success and overtake their more successful neighbours.

Bill Shankly said that Everton ‘may well be the millionaires, but Liverpool are the people’s club’.

Everton fans = even more hypocrites.

There is nothing new in football.

Well said,Balti.

Everton fans seem to live in a perpetual state of moral outrage at the moment...as if the rest of us footballing charlatans owe them some sort of debt of gratitude....for harking back to "better" times and reminding us all that only they actually represent the last bastion of what supporting a "real" football club used to mean......all piously self-procalimed and monotonously repeated to anyone that will listen,and always delivered with a pompous sermon about their "glorious history"....as if no other club has existed,or their achievements somehow pale into insignificance.

Scousers are the world's best at telling others how important their toil is....how important their suffering is,how righteous their victories....and also the worlds best at hypocrisy.

Mersey Millionaires.
Signing Lescott from Wolves.
"Hands" Segers.

It will be interesting to see how their finely honed and slavishly followed concepts of social and moral martyrdom hold up if an investor with real money ever takes over the club.....or whether that peculiar local ailment "scouse amnesia" kicks in.

I suspect that they'll vanish quicker than a snowflake in summer.

As usual.

Everybody wants what we have got (the billions)..yet they ram it down our throats at every opportunity, we are buying the way to success blah blah blah..

If its so bad what we are doing....why does everyone else want it.. ??


Irony or what.

John Moores was an Evertonian who just happened to be very rich at that time he was hardly some random arab or Russian with no effection for the club.

How is it relevant how much they like the club when the ends are the same (using superior financial clout to earn success)? Besides, Mansour had an almost boyish excitement in his eye when he came to watch us, clearly he likes us.

Ah...so would you rather have a bloke from down the road who has a few quid and big ideas...or the bloke from further down the road who has billions of quids and much bigger ideas...

Come on now,be honest.

Also at the time Everton were a massive club so we didn't have to pay £200,000 wages to get players to join us.

Names please.

Think you've got that arse about face mate. Everton were rich and could therefore presumably pay more wages than rivals. The amount is irrelevant, the principle is identical, allowing for the passage of time.
