    Agree that this should be the starting team. Dabo's defending recently looks like he's never played the game before. Maguire does provide an option off the bench if we are chasing a result.

    he put in a conditional £25m stadium bid and I doubt he had performed any due diligence on that hence the "conditional" bid. That was back in mid-nov. Not sure the vision he talked about for the club would survive a decent grilling by Dragon's Den lots of aspirations but maybe there is a...

    Lampard sacked as Everton Manager

    When John sillet was sacked I wasn't that bothered as I thought we were getting a world class defender in Terry Butcher - how wrong I was sorry snoz. Eric Black - what might have been. Peter Reid unbelievably bad. BigRon was shocking so pleased when he was appointed, not really fair on Phil Neal...

    Nick yes I understand that but it gave the impression that there was some money. £25m stadium bid followed by a policy of caution and its a tough transfer window. IMO the £25m was a bid for the sake of a bid with no substance and was rightly kicked back by the administrator money talks and...

    League table is also a good judge of where the club is at. Sisu came in and spent and possible with a better manager than Chris Coleman, we might have had greater success. As I've said on here already there was the £25m stadium bid, ie the king has access to cash, but all I'm hearing is...

    There was a clear difference in ability between the 2 sides but Cov lacked - Leadership especially in defence didn't see much encouragement between the players - alertness team seemed asleep in the first 20 mins especially Hamer - confidence - seems low

    I'm not expecting him to spend that but we all know it wasn't a real offer. In summary there's no additional funds, he's a good negotiator and a strategy of keeping it steady, refurbishing Ryton does not strike me as a well defined plan. Had WASPs not gone bump would ownership have changed...

    A strategy consisting of redecorating ryton, isn't going to move the club massively forward

    16th Nov 2022 - announced as the new owner Makes unrealistic bid to buy the stadium. League takes nearly 2 months to approve the transfer of ownership, not sure any cash has changed hands No net investment in squad Has to negotiate with Fraser Group regarding a rental deal for next season and...

    Yes I recognise that the capital investment in the stadium is totally different to what might be spent on the playing squad but it did try to give the impression that we have funds !! but I interpreted it as an attempt to derail the Ashley stadium purchase, it wasn't a serious offer

    I think Cov fans are so relieved to see the back of SISU (well 85% of SISU has gone). As this transfer window is proving (2 in and 2 out - with the 2 both playing in recent games) with a wafer thin squad he's not got much spare cash (very happy to be proven wrong) and a stadium deal to be...

    Its all about the timing to me its why I'm so negative about this. Recognise he's a cautious investor so no plans to spend big but was able to table a £25m bid for the stadium !!! Has bought a club and hopes by keeping a steady ship we may knock on the door of the play-offs, highly unlikely, so...

    Well I wouldn't refer to a 15% minority shareholder as a partner. A partner has a significant input on the direction of the business, I was hoping SISU were gone just remaining in the background, hoping the club get purchased.
