Wandy Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Have they really spent half a billion in recent years on that squad? Mindboggling if true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally free header from a corner. 1st goal was a little unlucky but the rest were shocking tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Rafa didn't have many options to add to the squad while they scrabbled around the bargain bin this summer but I didn't realise they were that bare.

Stottie Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I didn't watch the game or even the highlights yet, but a Rafa team conceding 4 goals in 12 minutes plus stoppage time is very uncharacteristic for him. Rondon sounds like he's getting stick, but he didn't score in his first six appearances for us. It's still early days there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Everton seem to have a good first 11 but as soon as you get beyond that they become a liability. Saying that they were only missing Doucoure, DCL and Richarlison today, who are all mint, but doesnt explain the defensive capitulation. That must be their first choice back 5 (inc. GK) today.

A lot of individuals errors from the goals i saw. he’s spent nothing but the expectations seem to be high, he’s likely in for a tough time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Rafa is too loyal for his own good. Fuck Everton man, come back here. He's going to get the sack there at some stage, its inevitable because the fans are stinking and will never take to him. He'll be supported here through thick and thin. Finish the project man.

Superior Acuña Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Honestly would worry a bit with him here now. The expectations will be different and I couldn't bare it if fans turned on the beautiful man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 How long will Everton's FFP restrictions be in place if they can't raise commercial revenues significantly?

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 What the christ do Everton fans think should be happening with that squad I wonder? If you take out DCL & Richarlison (which has more or less been the case all season) it's mid table at absolute best imo no matter who is managing them.

GWN Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I echo the feelings of him coming back and failing , I just don’t want it to happen to him . “Never go back” , a true saying I loved Rafa , he’s a top bloke but personally I don’t want him back now for this reason because it could just happen wether we think it would or not, some great memories and what could have been , let’s leave it at that and move on .

Although I really like the sound of Fonseca's playing philosophy, I do worry that it's going to take a lot of work to get this squad playing his football. We just can't afford that now, we're heading down and need someone who can get the current squad playing effective football. There is no better man for that than Rafa.

Bintang Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I don't want him back. His time here was the only time in the Ashley era that I felt connected to the club. I'd rather leave that be. There are not many examples of managers going back to clubs and it being a success. I wish KK had never come back because of the way it turned out. It is best to just leave the past as the past.

Looks like Rafa is back to being under Ashley scenario all over again. Whilst Everton's Chairman wants to spend, they can't It doesn't look like it's going to turn around any time soon, the limit is a total loss of £105m over three seasons. Their past three accounts showed: 17/18 £13m loss 18/19 £112m loss 19/20 £140m loss (doesn't count towards FFP due to Covid) So unless they make a big profit this year that 18/19 loss is also going to keep them from spending next season. But, those losses are not just from transfer fees and the transfer fees are obviously being heavily deferred, even if they're not actually buying players right now they're clearly still paying instalments (£125m liabilities in their most recent accounts) and running at an operating loss excluding player trading.

This FFP stuff is just ridiculous. You have a team that can’t spend money even though they have it because their commercial revenues aren’t sky high. So all it does is keep the top teams at the top because they have the most revenue and can spend the most. You can’t grow commercially without getting better players and spending money, the whole things is anti-competitive and needs a major rethink Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Which makes it all the more ridiculous that the other 13 voted for it and this new restriction on related party sponsorship. It's like people in Blyth voting tory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The amount of money Everton have spent to stand still or even go backwards maybe tells us that it's going to be a lot more difficult for us to break through than it was with Man City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
