Why cant the club implement a footballing philosophy like Swansea and Southampton. Where the director of football, chief scout, manager, and academy all train and play the same brand of football.

Guest Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 More to do with the fact he isn't owning a football club with a view to making it successful. I'm assuming he still wants to be profitable though. Even if he's still tight, he can get players of a certain style and a manager with a certain mindset on a similar budget to now even. Even if he has no ambition, he could at least try and keep the punters entertained on a matchday. We don't even have that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Can't think of anyone who'll buy him for £25m and give him Champions League Football like. Apparently he's willing to stay at Everton if they qualify for the Champions League. I can't see them having £25m to pay for him. The trouble with loaning players who are way out of your club's price range is that you've loaned them for e.g. £3m and had a seasons benefit out of them. Actually paying to buy the player doesn't look like good business, especially when your club has just helped boost the player's asking price. If they bought him for £25m on a 5 year contract that would be £5m a year before wages. I doubt he's cost them £5m for 1 season. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/5548304/Chelsea-boss-Jose-Mourinho-slaps-25million-tag-on-Spurs-target-Romelu-Lukaku.html CHELSEA HAVE slapped a £25million price tag on Romelu Lukaku The transfer of Romelu Lukaku to NUFC always sounded like a very unlikely transfer to happen.

Teasy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Buying him would be much better business than continually loaning, but I agree I can't see Everton spending £25m and paying the kind of wages he'll want. I suppose it all hangs on whether they get Champions League or not, if they do he'll be interested in signing and they may actually be able to afford it with the extra cash they'll receive.

Until Ashley fucks off the place is always going to be in some kind of mess, but it would still help not to have an incompetent in charge of the first team. Of course that's part of the mess Ashley's created, but the point is its something he could do to improve the club substantially without having to spend big. Keep bringing in the kind of players we've signed over the last few years but have a manager who can actually use them properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
