TV deal is irrelevant. It's a drop in the ocean to what Moshiri (and, looking increasingly more likely, Usmanov too)

I'm presuming you and the rest of the traditional, 'pricipled' support will not be attending Goodison anymore? Given the moral outrage you lot gave us over Lescott and 'financial doping' I expect you'll be regulars down at Tranmere?

This isn't related to Stones. Start an Everton thread if you want to go down this route.

Hmm, estimated worth of £1.3bn? Not a lot of money to bankroll a club nowadays. That's less than half of what Mike Ashley has.

Back to Stones.



You think you only get a signing fee when you sign a new contract at a new club?

Football Manager is hugely inaccurate when it comes to contracts and transfers, mate. Stop going by it. Every player gets what you and Football Manager describe as a "signing on fee" when they sign any contract.

You can put Milner as an example, and I can put Suarez as one. What you're saying makes sense from your point of view but in the grand scheme of things, it means very little.

Gen question mate. With your new manager and investors, where do you think you will end up this season and how long before you think you will regularly knocking on CL qualification?

Ashley worth a lot more than 700m

Ashley's worth $6bn. Hence my comment.

Really trying to stick to talking about Stones but alright.

This season? Depends on what we do in the next month. If it goes well for us in the window, 4th-6th. If it doesn't, 6th-8th.

Within three years, a team that will regularly be top four.

Don't forget that two years ago we were 'knocking on CL qualification' for over half a decade. Not much is needed to get us back to that position and then past it. A good management team (which we now have), a board that has high goals and can finance them (which we now have) and a few quality players (which we may or may not get this window, but will certainly get in the next year).

You put it in the Stones thread.

I said 'back to Stones', providing a subtle hint that I would prefer if we stopped going off topic and get back to talking to Stones.
