Truth is, all managers make some good and some bad signings.

Where Rafa really impresses me is with the josemi, krompkamp, nunez, types, that don't make it and get shipped off quickly. He doesn't protect his mistakes the way Houllier did.

Never.


Anthony Gardner cost £1m.

He means Dean Richards for £8m

Thanks for that, by the way...

where did all that money go?

Walcott, Davies, Beatie, Richards to name a few big sales.....

Roger_Hunt wrote:Yeah, he looked nailed on as a good buy didn't he.

Having said that, do you remember all the Toffees crowing that at £6.5m Beattie was a better buy than Nando? Tee-hee... at least we got some cash when we sold him...

EVERTON Football Club have signed an exclusive deal towards the building of a new stadium in Kirkby.

The Blues have agreed that the move four miles from Goodison is now their preferred option, and have reached formal agreement with Knowsley council and Tesco to start the project.

The news of the deal will be formally announced to shareholders tonight at the club's AGM at Goodison Park, the Blues home for 114 years.

If the scheme goes ahead it would not only provide Everton with a world-class venue but would also mean a multi-million pound regeneration of Kirkby.

It is hoped the three-way partnership with Tesco and Knowsley will keep costs of building the venue to an absolute minimum.


However,the club, which has made no comment on today's agreement, will tonight emphasis the fact that no final decision on moving has been taken.

Above all, the Blues will stress their supporters will be fully involved during negotiation and discussion, and well before any final decision to quit Goodison.

Although the project is only in its infancy, if it was to be adopted and completed, the centrepiece would be a state-of-the-art stadium for the Blues, a world class venue which would hold at least 50,000 people.

Though they would ideally have preferred to have remained within the Liverpool city boundary, it is believed the as-yet undisclosed potential stadium site stands less than four miles from Goodison as the crow flies.

Despite recent talk of a move to Kirkby, Everton have always maintained there were three options open - a new, stand-alone stadium, a shared stadium with Liverpool FC, or the rebuilding of Goodison.

With Liverpool now close to concluding a huge investment deal with Dubai and the cost of regenerating Goodison believed to be prohibitively high, Blues chairman Bill Kenwright and his fellow directors arethought to have opted for a move away from the club's much-loved home.

But Curbs has the club link and Deano I think you're wrong.

Curbs kept a damn small team in the premiership for 7 years with virtually no investment and it wasn't like they were ever struggling with relegation either!

Pardew almost got sacked in the Championship did he not? then he sneaks in the back door to the premiership and suddenly hes the Hammers hero! has a good season then slumps the second, can't remember Curbs doing that, in fact all i remember is him being constantly linked to the egnaldn job and being praised pretty much non-stop

Curbs is easily better than Pardew
