Got to be a Syrianos recommend this given our interest a while back and it resurfacing along with the news about him being back on the scene.

If he's going to Everton, he'll probably forget what a football even looks like!

Imagine training with Dychey

So Jordaninho - his name's Jordan, but we call him Jordaninho, like you Brazilians do ; funny right? No, oh ok, anyway, so Jordaninho's going to kick it long. You need to get your 'ead on it son. Lets try it now. Don't try and control it son - look at Maupayyyy, look at what he's doing, that's what we want, just try and get something on it

Why are you not passing to Keano (Michael Keane)? He is a caroco you say - Woany, Woany, can you please pull up that portuguese to english dictionary which we bought - caraco, caraco, it means lump! - no, no he is il footballer like you. No, no, am serious, he is a footballer.

Kick and run. kick and run

Shoot son, shoot

Get a beer down you, will make you feel better


I know I am stereotyping a certain sort of English manager, but Dyche just seems to fit the mold so well. He was on Keys and Gray after he left Burnley and it was the typical stuff like we had pressing in my day, but we didn't have fancy names for it, we used to call it working hard - we have been doing analytics for a long time, and what is all this xG; good old days etc, etc. This edited clips sum it up well

Everton now have even less money than they didn't have before, apparently. Some investment firm, MSP Sports Capital, pulled out of a deal which would have given them a stake in the club. Leaves them short on new ground and, obviously, playing side.

Ordinarily have a soft spot for them versus their neighbours, but now they're our rivals I'm less sympathetic.

The only reasonable thing to do to punish their financial situation is to fine them, naturally. That will surely deter future financial riskiness.

Going Everton for 30m

I always liked Dyche & thought it was just stereotypes around him because he’s British and plays long ball but I listened to a few podcasts he went on and he sounded like a complete dinosaur, so much so it put me right off him.

Everton know that they are far more likely to be punished for FFP in the Championship than they would in the Premier League (who'll never deduct a team points for breaching FFP in a million years). Better to chuck money at staying up then risk going down and seeing what happens then.

Reading the Udinese comments they say he's direct but unable to hold the ball up or dribble - most also seem to think that the have better striking options already so aren't heart broken but because they bought him for £12m they want a better return than £30m.

Everton ffp from a simple viewpoint (As deal structures, wages and even quoted fees aren't always known properly) have had £25m from selling Kean finally to Juve, got £8m for Simms and a couple of mil for Nkoukou.

Theyve spent about £15m on fees for Danjumas loan and that lad from Portugal so if they structure the Beto deal as say half now and half next summer then they should be fine in terms of balancing the books that way. Its just the £85m a year wages that is going to cause them a huge issue, I can see them making at least one sale before the deadline.

Could just be to do with the payment plan. It’s not like Everton don’t have a habit of kicking the can down the road. It’s why they are in the situation they are in to begin with. Every club in this league can afford to splash cash even those that plead poverty.

I obviously haven’t seen this guy play but it seems like a lot of money for somebody who’s 1 in 3 in Serie A.

I read that Everton didn't want to pay £5m as the first instalment for Adams, so you might be right there. Beto might cost them more in the long run, but less in this year's accounts than Adams would have.

A bit of a gamble as it's more petrol on the fire if they go down and have to pay more in future instalments, but they are probably f**ked if they go down anyway so I can see why they've taken the risk.

After the row back from the investors in the week, Mosheri has little choice but to gamble.
Exactly, if Everton go down they really are knackered anyway. From Mosheri’s POV he’s just gotta prey they stay up until he sells so as long as punishments aren’t points deductions it doesn’t matter what he does. But I get the feeling it will be a deduction.

But also the more he kicks the can down the road the less likely they are to find a buyer - you would have thought Everton were a desirable club especially with a new stadium on the way.

He has been through 3 accountants in the past 3 years, always a bit of a red flag. Especially from a former accountant.

It does feel genuinely unsustainable.

Problem is though, that stadium has still to be paid for, and they’ve got a huge chunk of historical debt to service.

There are genuine concerns that if they did get relegated, they potentially „do a Portsmouth“, and be financially ruined for years.

Some Everton fan probably threatened their owner when they heard the Che Adams rumours, angrily shouting "You better not sign Che Adams!" In his face.

Their owner obviously misheard this as "Beto, not sign Che Adams" and the rest is history.
