  1. BUT... if this guy can manage to give us a few healthy months then hopefully it will be a net positive. Not confident though.
  2. The markets have become ridiculous. The valuations are absurd. You either need a corporation, an amazing TV deal, or a crazy rich Asian to compete. This is just frustrating.
  3. By the time it is said and done I think Everton will occupy at least one solid case study in an MBA course. They are going to be one hell of a good deal in a year or two.
  4. I agree with his statement. Have you seen our league? I think they play soccer too...not sure? MLS is what happens when band geeks, and freaks become supporters.
  5. Yeah bro. Totally sanitized, risk, and controversy averse. I don't think I will ever get used to it. I grew up watching American sports, obviously. If a player was injured in the first half, inning, period, you pretty much knew by game end what the injury was. The next day you would know the exact injury and how long he would be out. You could damned near set your watch to it as well. It wasn't just filler, it was quality stuff. I mean we are talking down to the degree of a shoulder separation, high ankle sprain, strain, tear...treatments. Same with contracts, salaries...free agency...the whole nine. Do we NEED to know that? No, but it helps to gauge in the mind where your team are sitting. Just a little? UK sports are an information void, save for a few amorphous terms thrown around with little thought...'Loan...knock...agreed to terms.' Unless of course a player says a 'meany word' or something salacious. Then the press and opposing fans are shrieking like seagulls chasing a trawler. Every detail breathed over like a SCOTUS case. Don't get me wrong I love the sport. It is the most addicting thing imaginable but the information quality is putrid. Definitely a lord and serf relationship. Rant over as well.
  6. Details help to clarify things. That goes for injuries too. If I hear the word 'knock' one more time I'm gonna strangle a kitten. Everything is so unnecessarily cryptic.
  7. Or we could have acquired other talent that would have been a year forward by now? The more I read and hear about this it appears there may have been some type of contract dispute in the end between RFC and BM. It appears they just threw some cash at, and Rangers accepted in lieu of… I find this a highly likely scenario as we seem to employ Lionel Hutz as counsel. Either way…. It is done. Better days ahead. Thanks bud.
  8. No...we are not BM's incubator. Tillman's development took pitch, and training (staff man hours) time away from players who could have grown WITH our team. We allowed ourselves the 'developmental league' treatment. Rangers disrespected themselves and their fans (lack of transparency) as that's a b**** move...full stop. I think this will become more evident when they turn and sell him for 8-10M to some schlub team in England or wherever in the short term. The team should never engage in that kind of deal as ultimately we do not grow. A million bucks...great...back to square one. Glad that Babe Ruth lookin Ahole Wilson has hit the road.
  9. I did some digging and finally found out the law firm we employ for contracts.
  10. Cool...looking forward to watching him get fired at Celtic as well.
  11. Yeap. Never have understood that aspect of the tribalism. If a guy is good enough, then he is. Who give's a rat's where he has played previously? So silly.
  12. Probably the same guy who drafts the contracts with apparel suppliers.
  13. I would love to see what Fredo could do in the EPL though.
  14. Word is Everton are interested in Morelos. Would love to see that happen.
  15. You wouldn't think it the way most are coddled. If the club were honest about those players who could make the first team, we wouldn't have enough to field a team. I am a huge proponent of just scrapping the whole 'youth' thing. ..and the women's team for that matter. Efficiency.
  16. If an 18 year old qualifies for USAF/CCT there ain't nothin on any soccer field, anywhere in this world that could possibly be tougher than that. Young men do it every year. If a young airman of 18-19 can run tactical control on a forward LZ, under fire...I'm sure they can kick a ball. Wipe their ass, and get em out there.
  17. Beale must have nuts like avocados. Rollin them bones on this one, that is for sure. 7 (non-penalty) goals in three years...for 3.5M...Good LAWT!
  18. Yes, and perhaps a toehold for the club to something bigger down south.
  19. So it's Lammers eh? I hope this guy understands what he is getting into. I don't think many do. We shall see.
  20. I don't think we will have ANY problems getting Lammers inked. Players like that go real easy. I hope Beale is right about him.
  21. POTS-Tillman--Kid is the real deal. Biggest Flop- -Most Improved-All vets regressed, were injured, or barely met previous standard. Even Barisic (honorable mention) was just...Barisic...he only seemed better because of the massive injuries/suck surrounding him. -Unsung-Medical professionals everywhere. Without them we would have been down to the grounds crew by season end. -Best Signing-Cantwell
  22. Yeah...now in the 'official' lighting...that's actually pretty pimp.
