This is Michelle, a life long Blue. Unfortunately she had a major stroke in Jan & was in a coma for 4 weeks. But she's a fighter & is determined to make a full recovery. Her family would like the Blue family to show some support & encouragement thru likes & RT's

Can only say that the

The threat to our PL survival has brought out the best in most Evertonians.
Once the season is over, I hope we will continue as a re-awakened fan base, more supportive of each other, more overtly supportive of the club & much more demanding of the owner & board's performance

Totally inept by Benitez, wrong selection, wrong formation, players out of position, appalling substitutions. Team clueless in possession, terrible in defence. Difficult to over emphasise how poor that display was. (Gordon aside) Worst performance of the season Deeply concerning

There's a huge difference between being charged with a potential breach & not being compliant. An adjustment to Everton's previous accounts (permitted under IAS) makes us compliant. I will repeat again that we have not breached PSR for the three year period to June 2023

One aspect of a takeover is that (as demonstrated by Man City & Chelsea) the existing management has to go immediately. I hear the Chairman would prefer to remain for a period - that can't happen, new ownership, new leadership, new direction. There's no room for sentiment

I've studied our finances & leadership for a decade plus. Now IMO only one solution remains.
REMOVE MOSHIRI.
We need new owners, board & leaders, a viable business & funding model.
Then perhaps we will survive & we, the fans, can enjoy our club again.
WE ALL MUST DEMAND HIS EXIT.

Before today we needed 5 wins from 12. We now need 4 from 11. No one should care how those 4 are achieved. It's all about how many points we end up on.
Dyche is leading the way, no matter what it looks like on the pitch. Results are all that matters
Keep going Sean & our players

Delusional, mocking, self centred, an angry letter, devoid of self awareness & the true needs of our club at this time. Gerald Ratner could not have done worse
Sadly no greater proof required of his unsuitability as Chair of our club. Moshiri must act

So the Premier League submitted what it thought was the appropriate sanction to the Commission & the club 2 months before the hearing. So what was the purpose of the independent hearing, & how could the PL judge what was an appropriate sanction before Everton presented its case?
49
166

I'm pretty sure the board will fire Lampard to protect themselves. They'll take the "responsibility" of finding another manager, whilst the board & Moshiri accept no responsibility for the utter mess this club is.

Tarkowski, Coady, Maupay; bit of a theme in terms of character. Player's players, people you would want in your dressing room & on the pitch.
Been a long time since we've seen this type of recruitment. Good reasons to be more confident about the challenging season ahead.

We've been asset stripped on the pitch despite FM's ££. Sold our best players & either failed to replace or just replaced badly. Less than budgeted revenues, huge losses, no external funding for the stadium, P&S issues, all part of our failure to recruit. All down to FM & board

Moshiri's failure to make changes at board/exec levels would always risk us running out of money for the squad or we would become so disfunctional that a move would not represent a decent career choice for ambitious footballers. I never expected us to reach this point so quickly

Re the latest comments on takeover/funding of Everton.
Who in their right mind would take a minority stake with Moshiri holding control & with the existing board in place. Get real Moshiri, stop playing with our club. Sell to professional investors who know what they are doing.

Our last 19 PL games LLLDLLLWLDLLLLWLLLL 2 wins 2 draws 15 losses. 8 points. The manner of the last 2 defeats is the most worrying. Lack of belief, application & fight. The team (Gordon/Pickford aside) have no spirit. The club leaderless & directionless. The fans almost broken

It's going to be an incredible day when the modern state of football faces the anger, passion & integrity of the game's most important stakeholders in the game's most played in, top level stadium. Generations of proud custodians versus pernicious, contemptous administrators.…

DCL could become football's new Beckham (in terms of media) Articulate and confident of his own identity, a growing reputation on the pitch. The world is his oyster. Good luck to him, but most particularly on the pitch. A really +ive role model, great for the club too 👏👏👏

I'm not an advocate of over-reacting but the time has come to no longer accept such blatantly poor decisions that are killing the game as a fair contest. Pull the players off the pitch the next (inevitable) time this happens. Refuse to play. Make a stand. Force a change in order…

Word from several sources that Brands is firmly in charge of the recruitment process. Of course, Moshiri may act unilaterally as is his want, but in the absence of that there seems to be an orderly process driven by Brands himself.

Some speculation that we will have breached profitability & sustainability rules for the period to June 2023. This is not the case. I am told we are compliant & have not breached the limit given we have re-stated the 2021/22 accounts (capitalising interest payments)
62

Mathematically our destiny is still in our own hands. Mentally it is not. We have to hope Burnley (possibly Watford) are as weak as we are.
Shameful for all involved at Everton. No one at the club can escape criticism or scrutiny. Who can shake us out of the malaise we are in?

I don't buy Ancelotti's faux attachment to Everton. IMO it is an unwelcome & irrelevant distraction to what has to be our sole focus, PL survival. Our final 5 games are much more vital to our survival than some showcase event between 2 highly unrepresentative, manipulative clubs

Why would any due diligence process still be at least "weeks" away (from Richard Masters) 4 months after the process started? Time for Moshiri to acknowledge 777's unsuitability, reject them & allow other suitable parties to rescue the club.

576
Whilst excitement may grow over the prospect of a takeover, let us not forget how badly Moshiri, the board & executive have let down Everton FC. Despite huge investment, looking to sell is the ultimate acceptance of a job done badly & having no solutions. None fit to stay
71
44
568
We're a product of the lack of
planning since Moshiri arrived. A clueless owner, a weak board & exec team. Horrendous recruitment on the pitch & football management. Gross financial mismanagement. Time to sell Moshiri, we need an owner/board/exec who knows what they are doing
78
87
561
Notwithstanding the idea that the
@premierleague
feel it appropriate to charge twice the same "offence", I am happy to explain & justify why we are not in breach. Capitalising interest costs for 21/22 & 22/23 plus allowable deductions bring us comfortably within the £105 m limit
75
99
567
The truth behind the Appeal of the PL Commission is that there are no winners here. Football has lost. The Premier League Commission has been proven to be wrong in law. It's decisions & sanctions are flawed.
It's no victory for Everton either. Moshiri's appalling stewardship has…
56
75
568
Assuming Brands report is correct, we now have a board of Kenwright, Barret-Baxendale & Ingles. Genuinely frightening. Moshiri has to address the governance & leadership of our club. Bring in a corporate re-structuring expert and a couple of non-executives at the very least

Tomorrow would have been Howard Kendall's 76th Birthday - would be rude not to raise at least one glass of something to the great man. I'm sure with a host of other Blues he watched & celebrated from above on Thursday evening!

It looks very much like we have moved from "if" to "when" with regards to board resignations/removals. It is unlikely before new investment comes in. That is close. Change is coming, new investors & no change is not possible.
31
38
532
Regarding today's announcement of an agreement between Moshiri and 777 partners I stand by my assessment that 777 do not have the resources to successfully acquire the club, nor will get the support of all parties that are required to give that support
144
74
527
Wishing every Blue a fantastic season where the team defies expectations, plays good football & competes at the higher end of the league. May the season bring much joy, travel safe & enjoy the unique experience of being a bluenose! Up the Toffees 👏💙👏💙

Surely the time has come when in the interests of Everton Football Club, & in their role as responsible employers, it is no longer appropriate to have an elderly man in such obvious poor health remain as Executive Chairman given the most critical time for the club & its future

Good luck to every single Evertonian going to Selhurst Park. Good luck to every Evertonian watching on a stream, a TV overseas or old school radio. Good luck Sean Dyche & the team. All that matters for the next few hours is the result on the pitch. COYBs 💙 👏 💙

This is not a criticism it is a request. I really want to see our club

18
31

Sharp's comments are another PR disaster. The protests were acknowledged as peaceful & respectful. Our fans lauded last year are now criticised. Noone condones threats & stupid behaviour outside the ground. How about the board showing leadership, understanding & unity with us?

Two key points from yesterday (i) the lack of leadership shown by the board, their dereliction of duty on a day when the new manager at a critical time called for unity, called for support - they were nowhere to be seen, yet the fans to a man, woman & child responded (continued)

Benitez, not without fault or cause to question. But he is not the problem. The problem is our absent owner & the board. How after all the investment are we left with this board, this manager & this squad?
That is the question that needs to be answered by Moshiri. No one else.

Momentum is against us, we've been in decline since Koeman's 1st season, a bit if a blip with Carlo but the trend is there & this season has accelerated. Management selection & appalling recruitment. Lampard can maybe provide enough to survive but Moshiri & board this is on you

The alleged breach of profitability & sustainability rules relate to 21/22 for which the accounts are not yet published.
What is clear is the reputation of our club is further tarnished by our supposed custodians, the board.
Enough is enough. Moshiri must act & change the board

One of the key mitigations in the

We are the sum of 7 years of chronic mismanagement by Moshiri & years of decline before that. The team we put out & bench today prove we are running on empty. The gradual erosion of our competitiveness followed by chronic decline more recently leaves us ill equipped for the PL
