Lots going mental. It doesn't bother me. Badges change. Always have, always will.

But badges in the past have not had laurels, the motto, even the tower.

More importantly the pre-season has been confirmed. We will get stomped on, me thinks, but still, should be good exposure, and a decent test for the players.

Everton will face three of the teams from this stellar list of participants as part of the International Champions Cup: Juventus, LA Galaxy, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Chelsea, Valencia and Real Madrid. Not sure what we are Champions of, but facing teams like that will be good.

I think it's more the fact they've taken NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM off the badge, is what is causing the aggro.

Folks have short memories. It wasn't there for much of the history.

Pure marketing stunt. I dislike it and don't see the need for change.

I said elsewhere that folks doing petitions, etc, need to concentrate on other marketing stuff, like the kitbag deal. Of course it is marketing.

I think this new badge looks too much like something from a cartoon, the old one was definately classy

[Blue62]

I really don't care about the badge, while I'm not impressed by it personally I'm more concerned with who will be our next manager and life without Moyes. I suspect that the badge design may have something to do with the Asian market, but that's a guess on my part. I reckon it looks like Martinez and we will have some idea later today, although the press are saying £5m compensation, I can't see Bill coughing that up although I guess part of the Fellaini fee will be earmarked. Ho hum.

[TheHeretic]

5 million seems daft for a manager with just a year left of contract? (I think it is a year).

[im]

It's almost certainly Martinez then:

Just think, you're appointing a manager who turned down Liverpool

Thats gotta be good for a month or two's wumming H

Well...until it's mathematically impossible for you to stay up any longer...round about March 2014.

Compo? 5 million? Why? His resignation has nothing to do with Everton, that's between him and his chairman. He hasn't been poached or approached as far as I'm aware. e's broken the contract, not us.
