The final day of the transfer window was not good for @Everton We are sharing the fans discontent with the senior leadership of the Club and calling for the CEO to urgently sit down with fan groups so that he can personally hear your views and we can ask him important questions.
Our shared ambitions remain clear: to win trophies, and to see Everton compete in European competitions, with Hill Dickinson Stadium lit up on famous European nights. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum must be reflected in every decision the Club makes. Supporters do not feel this standard is being met at present. #EFC
📢📢 - 1878s STATEMENT - 📢📢
We thought the potential sale of our biggest young talent was bad enough, but the last 24 hours has topped that.
On Saturday Moyes said "I don't think we can afford to lose any players, we need to stay as strong as we can” - Since then we have lost another 5 players (3 of them who have left play in areas we needed to strengthen in) and only brought 2 in.
To leave us with no back up full backs and just one striker is full on gross negligence, not forgetting we also lost one of our best players at an under valued price in today’s market in the process without replacing him too.
We stated on Sunday that we do not feel that our fanbase’s ambitions and the club’s ambitions align right now - what happened yesterday has proved that even more.
As a group we will still be standing down for the foreseeable future and will not be dedicating a huge amount of our own time to put together the displays that we do that try and generate the best pre match atmosphere possible.
To be clear, this is nothing against the signings we have made, we welcome them to the club and wish them the best of luck here.
However, like the rest of our fanbase, we are utterly disappointed and disgusted with how this transfer window has gone, especially the end of it.
Also for fans asking, just to reiterate - When we design flags, there are rules and regulations that we have to adhere to regarding the wording on our flags during displays, we are not allowed derogatory or offensive wording or images.
If we were able to get a load of flags in the ground to show our feelings of discontent, disappointment & anger over this whole situation, believe us, we would, but this is something that simply wouldn’t be allowed.
Despite how we all feel we still urge fans to get behind our team on the pitch for 90 mins like we did at Bournemouth on Saturday.
We will fully support any action the fanbase takes in reaction to this extremely poor transfer window.
OUR MOTTO IS THE STANDARD WE EXPECT!
Everton ended the window in humiliation
This summer has left owners TFG severely damaged after high-profile missteps, from Armstrong to Balogun
CEO Angus Kinnear repeatedly claimed the goal was to strengthen
Everton are weaker

Everton scored 47 goals last season and finished 13th.
Tonight they've sold Iliman Ndiaye and Beto who scored 15 of them while pocketing £80m in the process.
They have 90 minutes to spend that money and find replacements.
That's before you even talk about full backs!
Everton overspent over 3-year cycles but committed breaches deemed not to be deliberate
The punishment put the club's PL status at risk
Chelsea funded years of glory with deliberate acts of deception
The punishment. Have they really got one?

Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’.
Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport?
If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.
Paragraph 135 of the judgment in the PL v Everton ‘…a financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner, is not a sufficient penalty’.
Chelsea get a financially penalty. Of course they do.
City will get same.
Corrupt. @premierleague
Why we need to tax the super rich more.
Their wealth is growing MUCH faster than everyone else's.
And they're using it to outbid you for real resources: housing, assets, healthcare, education and everything else of real value.
