Everton are backloading deals out of necessity. They haven’t paid a penny for Dele Alli yet.

It’s very easy to understand, if you’ve got a comprehension level above that of a 4 year old.

Thing is we don’t really have backups under Howe. If you deserve your spot you’re in the starting XI. Look at how long Bruno had to wait to get a kick. Tarkowski has been very keen to break into the England squad - it’s why he’s leaving Burnley - so I don’t think it’s a hard sell. It’s a meritocracy. If he earns it he’ll start.

Don’t understand the bed wetting. If we’re expecting to lose Lascelles, Fernandez and Clark then we need a couple of centre backs. Tarkowski on a free makes sense.

I just find the kit stuff funny. It’s not revealing anything we didn’t already know. I assume those that are really pissed off are annoyed because it’s an ever present reminder of the reality of the situation when all they want is to pretend we’re not bankrolled by a Bond villain.

Fuck off

Likely to only be another year. I imagine there are pretty punitive clauses if either party decides they want out midway through, but changes to legislation will mean a clean break and less financial impact. I think the new rules around market rate sponsorship means the club won’t be in a rush. Commercial operations across the club need a huge amount of attention, and by boosting those (and demonstrating an improvement on the pitch) over the next 12 months they could likely argue the worth our shirt sponsorship is more than they could this summer.

I agree. Seem to be a bit of an odd operation. Got a load of major contracts but doesn’t feel massively professional at this stage. The stuff of theirs I have seen I don’t mind tbf. The pricing strategy is all over the shop like.

Signed a long term deal with them about 18 months ago. They’ll hang around until the proposed ban on gambling sponsors comes in IMO.

Castore offer very favourable terms to the clubs they work with iirc. As far as commercial agreements go it’s probably pretty low down the list of ones they want/need to renegotiate.

Baby blue accent is a sure sign Fun88 are sticking around for another year.

Clever bastards, causing a delay. Jimmy Hill would be proud.

I fucked it off after the Carver debacle. Planning to try and get one but it sounds like it’s going to be carnage.

You can understand why they might take their time over picking a charity. I’m sure there’ll be no shortage of people lining up to hammer them for donating to the wrong one.

Tremendous news. I think he’s a criminally underrated player, even among our fans who like him. Very rare you find CB’s like him who can do a bit of everything.

Very unedifying. Preferred it when he was brown nosing Bruce and slagging off our fans. This is just sad.

Testify brother. I find him infinitely more loathsome than most of the other PFM chancers that stink up the game, simply because he’s absolutely phoning it in. It’s one thing being shit, but being shit and lazy - especially when you keep falling arse backwards into plum managerial roles - boils my piss.

Best thing about the club hands down. Knock it out of the park every single match.

We’re about two weeks out from “Newcastle’s budget for the summer will only be in the high tens of millions” followed in the next paragraph by “extra funds will be made available for marquee signings.”

Statistically they’re virtually identical, and HBA had plenty of shockers. The fact there’s a thread dedicated to him that rarely drops off the front page a decade after he buggered off is deeply weird.

Nowt confuses me more than the tremendous hard on certain posters have for HBA coupled with the criticism of ASM. They’re virtually the same player.

It really isn’t like you wet blanket.

We’ve been horse shit since that speccy cunt tied himself to the goal.

Said that to wor kid. Absolute cunt and I’d love him here.

I don’t rate our chances like, but it’s a good opportunity for Miggy and Longstaff in particular to try and demonstrate they deserve to be here. Appreciate the changes have been enforced but I’d probably have looked to do something similar if I was Howe.
