Me trying to be incognito in that first picture Was a fun afternoon. Lee Ryder asking what the backstory was. God he’s thick as mince bless him.

Ticket sales are a drop in the ocean if you want to go down that route. Every solution being mentioned today however will cost the club money. Meanwhile every game sells out.

Probably the reason we found ourselves scrambling to meet PSR in July. Have said that the club had sponsorships they expected to go through being delayed and delayed. That aside the club have played a blinder using Man City as the stalking horse in all that. Might not be as groundbreaking initially as some think/hope but definitely the start of better times for us and certainly not a good look for some of our competitors.

Yep. One of my main issues with PSR etc. It punished us for what many deemed a safely/well run and ultimately the ultimate PSR club. It highlights its not what the rules are for at the end of the day as those in debt can do what they wish as they just argue projections are big enough to service the debts.

In fairness the takeover was 2 year in the making so they’ll of been aligning their ducks in fear we made a breakthrough with it I seriously think they thought they had us backed into a corner until PIF paid £1b to sort the piracy issue out and showed how serious they were and remove the last obstacle of any merit. Quite ironic it was 3yrs today for the takeover

Great point in your first paragraph. However as for your second he’s done everything they’ve asked and thats why we are where we are now. In an illegal quagmire and a less attractive league to many due to strangled competition. Ultimately Masters is just a Patsy. He has absolutely no control. Just a figurehead to take the praise and blame and keep attention away from various owners with too much sway.

Then the club starts losing revenue. I also know of genuine people who buy them after season begins due to their financial circumstances changing meaning they can go to some games that season.

It’s not really. They’d just create new accounts with new memberships if need be whilst receiving money from the club. Going back to physical tickets and posting out days prior to fixture would be the better option in my opinion. Touts would have to risk meeting staff and authorities face to face then…

Spurs at home? Schar.

Yeah but when he’s showing it is that after coming off the bench?

I thought the two big moments for me missed penalty aside was AG making a mess of sliding Barnes in through the middle near end of first half and Joelinton doing likewise for Miggy near the end of the second half. It’s those moments of sloppiness that probably annoy me the most. Wished we’d take more care with our passing in the final third. Have to give credit to Everton’s defenders and positional play for all the byline cut backs that lead to nothing though.

Not what I watched. Thought he played well and was comfortable throughout. Seemed to look gassed around 75mins so needs to work on his stamina.

Im not judging him differently. So far though there seems a glaring difference in impact between starting and being subbed on. Some players are just like that. I’m asking the question is Barnes one of them?

Better from the bench for 35mins?

Good point away from home when you create almost nothing. Point more than last season also. Best 90mins we’ve performed also. Missing both our centre forwards. Would’ve liked to of seen Osula given 20mins.

Certainly not CF. Said it days ago in the pre match. Doesn’t suite the psychological side of this game. Hope he scores last 10mins

I’ll ask again. Barnes not better coming off the bench?

So is Schar. I get your point but under these circumstances I would’ve went with someone else. On a side note I prefer when he whips them to GKSs right.

Strange decision for a Gordon v Pickford shootout. Surely they will of faced each other 100’s of times over the summer

Sounds like what I mentioned a while back. Remove Barrack Road and send traffic elsewhere to increase the footprint.

I’d imagine that’s the obvious discussion with the Council and the Freeman. Personally think it’s a much better place for it also as often forgotten about his behind SJP.

Still waiting on a few players outstanding payment.

Is this news? Felt it was announced a year ago. Must’ve imagined it

I’d fear for match prices if we built anything less than 70k. Ultimately the opportunity to expand whatever they build down the line without great expense is vital.
