Re: 777 Partners Takeover
On the surface, Textor looks massively preferable to Moshiri and 777, and seems hugely passionate about football. I think the video on the pitch with Botafogo is a bit overblown, and he seems to be extremely well regarded by their fans. Also, would be quite happy to be part of a multi-club model. Wo...

Re: Liverpool being bellends
He is an elite passer in fairness. They need to find some way of incorporating him in the team as a midfielder or even a wide attacker.
Hope they don't obviously.

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Obviously ETH is for me very substandard and I'd be advising swerving if he's still in charge. Have to remember though that despite some obvious negatives around UTD they've won 2 cups I think in the past 3 years and competed in Europe every season... These are big draws for a player, and one looki...

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
I'm fine with him going whenever it is, as long as we get paid properly for it. Seen a few articles flying about quoting ''Everton insiders'' saying we don't need to have a firesale and we don't need to accept lowball offers for our players. The next load of TV money and season ticket money has ease...

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
I think with the right managerial appointment they've got a good crack at 4th next season, so it'd still be a massive step up from us. Also he'd likely be given a chance with England just by virtue of playing for a higher profile team. There's loads of upsides of signing for Man UTD, but I'd also a...

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Why would anyone with serious potential go to Man U? Reckon that's why he's not pushing for a move this summer.

Re: 777 Partners Takeover
No of course not. There is a big difference between £100m and a multi-billionaire. I wouldn’t say that Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are enemies. Buffet is leaving 98% of his wealth to charity after his death and Bill Gates is using his wealth to sustainably help the poorest people in the world. The...

Re: 777 Partners Takeover
I work with/for a lot of clients with net worths between £50m and £300m and on the whole, they are all very decent, very kind people, and very much the same as you or I. They all have families and face the same personal issues that we all do. Most of them support football clubs and go to the games ...

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
It's from the Daily Star. They come up with their stories in a AI random word generator.
That headline could've easily been ''Jim Radcliffe eats ferrets on Tuesdays'' and it would've contained the same level of journalistic integrity and veracity.

Re: 777 Partners Takeover
This is from a Palace fan on another forum - Palace fan here - Textor bought a big share in the club back in 2021 and the cash was used to fund some excellent purchases. We bought Guehi, Andersen, Olise and loaned Gallagher. Those have set us in good stead. However Textor bought 45% of the business ...

Re: Summer Transfer Window Discussion
Yeah it's weird what's happened with him. Dyche and Moyes aren't dissimilar and you'd imagine Moyes would've got something out of him and he'd have a lot to prove at West Ham. The fact that neither of those things happened, and that it went badly south would be quite a big red flag. Also there was t...

Re: 777 Partners Takeover
Honestly, I don't know how many billionaires are normal. Things like Succession and White Lotus are so good because they're almost certainly true.
I think there's an element of sociopathy/psychopathy/extreme narcissism inherent in the gig.

Re: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Forgetting about us for a second, with all the hard graft he's put in, the injury battles, the different managers, the relegation threats, the off the pitch nastiness about his clothes and style, he probably deserves a nice move with a good payday playing for a club with better prospects and an idea...

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
I think as football has professionalised and corporatised, with the rise of data and analytics, clubs just want whatever the most recent thing that has worked, much like the film industry with comic book films and franchises. So you get fewer and fewer different models and ways of playing, just as y...

Re: Summer Transfer Window Discussion
I think probably any player we're linked with signing is going to be hugely underwhelming on the face of it, and we all need to make peace with it. There's not going to be any technical wizards, no highly sought after players, no young gems. It's all going to be functional, can they do a job in the ...
