It'll be interesting to see who you can get in this summer.

You got the money for wages and transfer fees but you've got not much else to offer at the moment. It's very much still a project.

Until you get that robinho type guy in <whistle>
As Everton have found out, having a rich owner willing to spend doesn't mean you can spend, FFP is actually a thing.

Meh, couple fake sponsor deals like man city and FFP is easily bypassed:bandit:

The noises are that nufc will have a quiet summer... FFP being the noise.

We'll see, but it'll be better than an Ashley window that's all I care about.

Get it right.. No need to be daft and end up like Everton.

Exactly, you're not going to cook a filet mignon steak if all you have to work with is a rat and a blow torch.

Well actually, Everton have consistently spent over their income by an average of £100m a season and it appears like they're going to get away with it.

FFP is a joke. Almost no one gets punished for breaking the rule. Just throw it out already if it's not enforced.

I'm loving it so far and I'm sure it'll take many years, but somewhere down the line they'll get into Europe and then they nail a place down.

On the evidence do far they're not idiots which should come as no surprise really considering you're dealing with people that run so many successful businesses in all sectors.

Just one cup before I die would be nice.

Everton spent about £500m before they worried about FFP

Bolasie - £25m
Schneiderlin - £20m
Gylfi - £45m
Klaasen - £25m
Walcott - £20m
Keane - £25m
Pickford - £25m
Tosun - £20m
Mina - £27m
Iwobi - £27m
Kean - £25m
Gomes - £22m
Gbamin - £22m

It’s like they were trying to just burn a load of cash looking at that list

It was spending without a plan or sense of direction. Had they had the right manager or chairman in place the money could have been better directed. Everton were knocking on Europe's door for a long time. They were good enough to move up a step with that investment.

Just unlucky to be badly run and make poor management decisions.
 
Told ya you'd get a point @brb <ok>


Shame Morecambe got a shock win but beat Fleetwood on Monday and you've got a great chance.
