Why were Everton fans booing Sterling? Surely it was an opportunity to show their hated rivals a bit of clever banter. Would have been priceless to raise a cheer for the young lad who wanted to better himself and move clubs.

Would have been good spouse humour which we are told they have.
 
At least they'll be able to focus on the league now that their cup final is over with early.
 
I think I remember City not owning the souvenir shop at Maine Road? - even as a callow teenager I thought that was ridiculous!

Does Kenwright=Swales????

It seems to me he is not that bad - blue dippers should look at Leeds etc. and be grateful that they are still in the Premier League.
Eddie Phillips.... the first person to back Swales every AGM....
The reason the club had to change the badge on the shirt as Phillips owned the rights to the club badge - not the club.
Phillips came out of the shop once to try and remove a few of us flogging fanzines behind the North Stand. I asked him who he was and he said ''you know who I am'' to again me saying I didn't (and trying to keep a straight face).
Told me to move again and I asked him on what authority was he asking me. He said he ran the souvenir shop. I told him we weren't anywhere near the souvenir shop and asked him to move from where he was stood as he was in the way of fans wanting to buy a fanzine. He fucked off in a huff! Never came back!
 
Everton are going to look like clowns if they let Stones go this summer after these statements.

Stones, Barkley and Lukaku is an extremely promising spine of the team. Surely with the new TV deal there is no need to sell?
 
the tv deal for a club like us is best summed up in this post -

There’s almost no argument that new investment is not required – investment in the team, the stadium and commercial operations. Few have examined the timing of this investment and the consequences of delay.
The time for new investment is now. The club cannot afford to wait any longer.
The new broadcasting deal which starts in season 2016-17 widens the gap between the successful clubs and the less successful.
Last year the club with the 7th highest broadcasting revenue (Everton) received £12.5 million less than the club receiving the most (Liverpool). In 2016-17 that gap will be £20.9 million. The gap between 1st and 10th in order of broadcasting revenue grows from £22 million to £35 million.
Tie that in with the difference in gate receipts and commercial income between Everton and our peers and you can clearly see that the income gap will widen further.
Not only that, but all our peers have a balance sheet which gives them the opportunity to spend heavily in the transfer window should they wish to do so.
The gap between the Premiership “haves” and “have nots” will continue to grow more quickly as the broadcasting deal revenues flow into the Premiership.
Paradoxically, the increase in revenues across the Premiership makes Everton more vulnerable on the pitch, and importantly for the Board (who own 70%) of the club, makes the equity value of the club more vulnerable also. Why? Because as the income and balance sheet gaps between Everton and our peers grow, the amount of investment required to bridge the gap increases, thereby reducing the current value of the equity.
Similarly if the value of the equity falls then the cost to existing shareholders of future capital raisings through issuing new shares increases.
Inactivity now threatens the value of the Board members individual holdings.
Control (or loss of) is often a reason quoted for the Board not to issue new equity in return for new investment. The Board can issue more than 12,500 shares without subscribing for shares themselves before losing control.
If the club is worth £140 million, then the shares are worth £4,000 each – that being the case the club can raise £50 million without subscribing for new shares, nor losing control. If the figure of £200 million is used, then over £70 million can be raised.
The point though is that to do this it must be done now. Failure to re-capitalise the business now will significantly reduce the Board’s ability to do so in the future, and will significantly reduce the value of their holdings.
£50 or £70 million will not solve Everton’s capital requirements, but it would allow investment in our key assets, the playing squad.
 
They need to bite the bullet and somehow invest in a new stadium minimum of 60k and your looking at around 350m! They need a sponsor who will help with it with a 10 year deal. Or is it more feasible to extend the ground like liverpool are doing..
