Now this is over the line, a few will be allowed to leave no doubt. It remains to be seen if Iwobi is sacrificed to fund this necessary acquisition. I'd prefer to let Alex see out his contract and worry about next season when we reach that bridge, but if the books must be balanced a certain way... And although the most important player on the finishing side of things appears to FINALLY have been addressed, the fact that we missed him badly for those generous three opening fixtures is still clear evidence - if any were needed - that Moshiri, commendable his investment generosity and refusal to swallow failure may be - the time to advertise the club for sale ' to the FIRST realistic bidder' has surely now arrived. Who that is, well... it's a matter of human honour. And it needs to happen ASAP. Even if we're so tight that sanctions or FFP don't catch up with us, (who knows?) it's easy to see the commercial revenue this new stadium is going to bring. Everton could still be a sleeping giant, and just need a bit of luck. The war has thrown a spanner in the works, as did Covid, but it is what it is. You'd have thought the Oligarchs would have seen it coming, and they probably did, but football clubs are just an amusement to them, and a prestige status. We're a play thing of the global elite. Unless we become a headache, why would Moshiri sell? I think he was pretty enthusiastic throughout, but we suck at building football teams. The other constant has been the role of the DOF, which needs debating in itself, as who's to say that hasn't played a big part in assembling a poor squad? We'll make a great movie one day. On a positive note, I think we might surprise ourselves this season if we can at least get off the ground soon.

The header that hit the post was very Fergusonesque admittedly
