I can’t see a world where that is actually true, what is the point in us buying young players to develop if we’re giving away 50% of the profit? No chance Simon would agree to that

To be fair their second and third goalkeepers have both left, so unless they bring in at least one, possibly two, he’ll be in the first team in some capacity!

I work with his cousin and he seems to think there’s a decent chance he’ll stay with Everton due to their goalkeeping situation - no inside info on that, just his personal opinion

His next logical step is league one after failing to deliver with a relegated Championship side. If we get the Bowler of old, which I do believe we can, then he would be the best signing of the lot. Fair points about us Apter and Bloxham in those positions, so I don’t think we will go for him

That really is a great signing, I remember him standing out against Hull a few years back! Some money is being thrown around by Saddler to get these signings over the line, I’m really pleased with how we’re going about our business this summer.

Carlos Ancelotti at Everton is even stranger, how did one of the all time greats find himself there

I agree, I think next year is going to be good for us as well. Bruce gets a pre-season and (hopefully) a decent budget. The likes of Birmingham and Wrexham will likely be gone, which will level up the playing field. Fundamentally we have a good nucleus of a squad, we just need a couple of wow...

It was only shite away from home

It’s shocking how many times he gets players muddled up or general moments in the game wrong. Genuinely needs to get his eyes tested and I’m not saying that in a sarcastic manor.

Remember this formation served us very well at home last year

Sonny is undeniably a talented player, he’s just not been consistent enough. A new contract makes sense even if it just means we can get a fee for him later on down the line - either way he’s playing really well at the moment so let’s hope it continues!

I went to Whistler last January to go skiing. Wow what a place, absolutely loved it - Vancouver just an hour away as well.

Do you think the season in the top flight, or any pre-1992 history, has a bearing on where we should be in the football league? The reality is it should have set us up as a solid Championship club with adequate training facilities and a decent investment in the squad, but we all know what...

I wonder where we would be if we shortened that list down to a meaningful time frame, such as the last 10 years? I’d guess we would be near enough exactly where we are right now

We all want the club to do well but I do feel there is a sense of entitlement across our fan base. We’re not a sleeping giant, there has been no major f*** ups (in my opinion), we have just slipped into another uneventful season where we are starting to find out League One is our level.
