We needed that win yesterday smile it's been awhile since I've seen our fanbase go so toxic.

CA's comments in post match were interesting. Acknowledged that we burnt out after 60 mins and that he's planning for the future.

Hoping that his positive attitude is starting to rub off on the players.

Bernard looked good again yesterday, I think he just lacks goals from his game. They just need to make sure they pair him up with the smallest mascot when he goes on the pitch before the game biggrin

Bernard is a curious one, looks like Carlo has given him licence to roam at home games and his work rate is good, bags of talent and creates chances. I really like him and hope that Carlo gives him a run of games to get him match sharp.

I wonder who will go this window?

Interesting AGM tonight.

£111m loss so under FFP rules but ouch.
£9m debt. Up but down by historic standards.
£350m total investment by mosh.

£30m investment the naming rights from USM for a stadium that doesn't exist.

Uncle Usmanvo has landed boys!

Haven't we submitted an additional month which is to do with player contracts which has made the accounts look (slightly) worse? We've also got a couple of players contracts expiring in June which will help for next year.

I also read that Palace are paying Tosun's £100k a week, which is what Mane gets for fks sake! They also have a £20m option to buy him, so I hope he does well for them!

Recruitment has been shocking the last few years, hopefully that will improve going forward. Brands has been better than Walsh, and hopefully him and Carlo can spend Usmanov's money wisely laugh

I understand Palace also had to put £1m down so all in all a decent deal for us, but as you say, his wages are ridiculous. I guess it reflects the fact that he was a panic signing, though he seems a decent fella he has hardly justified the investment.

Reading about the AGM there are a few interesting points, the loss is a paper loss, we are amortising the value of players, so it’s not cash leaving the club and our debt is historically low. Moshiri has invested £350m and Usmanov’s involvement is becoming more obvious, I’d expect his influence to grow.

Odd comments from Kenwright about Silva, somewhat ambiguous, but it sounds as though they had a replacement lined up but it fell through, so Silva was left hanging until Duncan agreed to become interim. That’s my take anyway.

I haven't seen anything about that, is there a link to more info?

From the Echo

Kenwright: “We had a bad day at Finch Farm and we had to say goodbye to Marco. We had a plan. We had the next plan in place and it didn’t work. We had several other plans. We walked into the lounge area. This man (Dunc) would probably live in Finch Farm if his missus allowed. ‘Come here and tell Farhad what you’d do if you were in charge on Saturday’.”

I wonder if that was Moyes? I read a few places reporting that 3 times he was told the job was his, and it never happened. Kenwright overruled by Brands and Moshiri?

Interesting piece on transfers by Brands at the AGM

https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/foo...

Both Martina and Niasse are out of contract in the summer, I wonder if they're trying to cut their losses and get shot of them this window for a nominal fee? We're slowly getting rid of some the deadwood, I just think we're still short in a few key areas unless we get a couple of decent players in this window.

I think it was very much Moyes! He'll do well with West Ham.

Could be, I haven’t heard the 3 times tale, if true it’s shameful behaviour and may point to the issue between Moshiri and Bill, I think Bill should go now. I wondered if it was Emery?

Pretty sure it was Sky and The Times that reported it, they are the same group though from memory.

Seems to be mixed reports about us targeting Rabiot. I hope we can get him, I'd love to see him play for us

For all that Bill is Everton through and through he should go now if so with an honourable non exec directorship where he sits in stands to watch the match and not much else.

Richy is out tomorrow. Something happened in training which is very annoying. Hope DCL fancies a goal or two.

Fair play. They have a 20m buy option so I hope he does well.

A point on the road isn't too bad. Coyb.

Gordon for a run out as well which is nice to see, there are a couple of the kids that I'd like to see get some game time before the end of the season
