EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS

Trying to address the misinformation surrounding EFC’s PSR breach and our finances, and other random opinions

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

TFG are our owners for now

- they’ve partly addressed some of our funding issues

- they seem to realise it’s best to try and employ the best CEO & Manager you can and then leave them to do their job

-they will use every accounting trick they can

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@NostradamusDom @JW187883 @CitizenSuburbia @EvertonNewsFeed @joe_thomas18 @TyMarshall_MEN Isn’t the real test of ambition is whether the new owners will use timely transfers to significantly increase the budget for new signings?

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@Gre9orypeck09 What are you on about?

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

KDH?

[a @a9002c]

Pape Sarr is the profile we need to partner Hayden Hackney (if we get it done)/James Garner in midfield.

Tall athletic duel-winner who is very good at carrying the ball up the pitch and can have a knack for crashing the box.

How much would Spurs want? £30-40M 🇸🇳 #EFC

[Joe Thomas @joe_thomas18]

Braiden Graham named on the bench for Northern Ireland this afternoon

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@mfefc1878 Our best performance was arguably Chelsea

KDH got 8 goals & 4 assists in 31 match from “his” position.

Alcaraz started 4 games out of 5 (wasn’t he 10 at Arsenal?) but then got injured

He was involved in 20 games in total - little (positive) impact in the others?

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

Alcaraz did a lot right last season

This season he’s often looked really poor when called upon.

Moyes has lots of faults, but players need to play their part too

Beto perfect example - got chance in 2nd half of season & grabbed it.

[Ste P @PapaSmurf1878]

Alcaraz likes to get the ball and play forward’ the manager doesn’t like that. Shame if he leaves I think he can offer us something but it’s another miss managed player who got no chance. Playing in a ridged system and boring negative football.

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@GreatestAfrican It was 14 points out of 27

That’s 59 points over a season.

We also missed Ndiaye & KDH (through injury) for the 6 AFCON games

It’s almost as if we didn’t miss key players & Moyes was at his best when forced to use squad players 🤷‍♂️

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

He missed 13 league matches and the FA Cup match

6 league + cup AFCON
4 injury
3 for slapping a teammate

[a @a9002c]

What do we do with Idrissa gana Gueye now? 🇸🇳

Contract is expiring at the end of the month, 37 years of age in September and also missed 11 Premier League games (some AFCON then last 4 games). I’d still try to renew him, but for depth only and experience, but I think he leaves.

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@GreatestAfrican It was a perfectly good return earlier in the season.

If there’s any discussion it should be why did Moyes play him in the Chelsea & Leeds games.

The last 4 games were a lot more than missing IGG.

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

4,000 responded

Over 3/4 think Europe is a realistic target for next season.

Reasonable?

[Grand Old Team @grandoldteam]

Thanks to Thomas Hughes for summarising the results of our Everton fan survey for those amongst us who couldn't be arsed wading through a 40+ page PDF...

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@GreatestAfrican It was 6 games during AFCON. Won 2, drew 2, lost 2

8 points from possible 18

The information was there in the post. 🤦‍♂️

The bad run-in started with him in the team.

Draw with Brentford, losses to Liverpool & West Ham

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@a9002c Hard to take any analysis that excludes him seriously.

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@GreatestAfrican Pretty decent for suspension/ AFCON

4 wins, 14 points in 9 games (plus the win when he was sent off after 10 minutes)

[Nick Cox @Coxy3012]

Some of my observations of Englands 26 man World Cup squad and what it might mean for youth development. https://t.co/5aOpRMLMUY

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

Not great comparison

[Sean Lunt @Sean_Lunt]

The frustrating truth for Everton is that Illiman Ndiaye is good enough to play, or at least test himself, at a higher level. Bigger clubs will see that. The positive is that if Anthony Gordon is worth €80m then so is he, and Everton have no need to sell beneath it.

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@jcotteri @theesk Everton might be better if we were funded by a PIK loan at Roundhouse Capital level

Instead we have a huge mortgage that the club has to fund.

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

@jcotteri @theesk PIK is a perfectly normal way to finance deals

It’s usually done when there’s an intention to float/ sell in a certain time period

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

Fan impatience is an issue

As is thinking we can be “elite” in 3/4 years.

The 2 are connected.

[Paul Bargery @BargeTours]

@CitizenSuburbia There is a lot of truth in what you say . I do worry that any manager we appoint with a reputation to make rather than already earned will be given little time by the fans if things don’t begin well. Fans impatience is an extra burden we carry always now .

[EFCTRUTH & OPINIONS @efctruth20802]

A lesson in not learning from all the PSR reports & other information that help explain that summer

@jim_keoghan @FalconBluesTV @UHTPodcast @TheBlueRoomEFC @Thebluedoodler @EvertonHeritage @lesroberts77 @TOFFEEBLUECAST @bluekippercom 1) 21/22 under Benitez was our joint best start (1st 6 games) in the PL period (13 points)

2) we now know the club was in huge PSR problems. The additions/ disposals sadly make sense

3) we sacked Gylfi

4) we were better in 20/21 when James wasn’t playing

[Tom Long @ScoutTom_]

If Everton made the bold decision to sell Iliman Ndiaye, the resources would be there to completely reshape the winger options.

Factor in a McNeil sale and passing on a move for Grealish, and there would be very few excuses not to target genuine top end talent
