O goodness so much to report..

First thing first, current level of debt, £42m. But this figure does not include the money raised from the sale of Wayne Rooney, nor a potential £12.8m cash injection from the Fortress Sports Fund. If Fortress Sports Fund deal does go through, Moyes will probably have £10m to spend come January..Debt? What debt? oh...that £42m? I have no idea..Te Chairman seem to forgot about that..I reckon it'll be covered through the Rooney sales though..

Second thing, Rangers manager Alex McLeish told BBC Radio Five Live there was no way Everton would be paid the full £500,000 for Michael Ball's 60 appearances clause. Oh well, it seem very likely that Michael Ball will be returning back to Goodison, since Rangers has yet to pay in full the £4m transfer of Ball to Rangers, like a century ago!! Ball is not too bad of a player..Would be delighted actually if Ball does come back to Everton..*fingers crossed*


PLEASE can all the rubbish about Everton being lucky this season finally be put to rest? Please can all the predictions of collapse and talk of luck and allegations and excuses be banished? And please, please, please can David Moyes and his players start getting the credit they deserve for one of the most remarkable stories of the season?

Everton manager Moyes has heard it all this campaign. His team are boring. Lucky. Too defensive. Their streak of form can not last. Wayne Rooney's departure will soon be felt. And most frustratingly - they do not deserve to be sitting with the big boys at the top end of the Premiership. Well what if the critics are all wrong about all these?

Laugh if you like but this is a team with a genuine chance of finding themselves in next season's Champions League. Eight wins from 13 games has put the Toffees well clear of Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle and those giants will have their work cut out to close the gap. Everton no longer have Roo-know-who to call on. Instead, our chief now is Danish midfielder Thomas Gravesen, whose energy and aggression condemned Birmingham to another miserable afternoon.

Gravesen turned out the lights on Steve Bruce's Birmingham, whose inability to score goals again cost them dear. His penalty dealt another home setback to the top flight's lowest-scoring side after Muzzy Izzet handled Lee Carsley's shot, earning himself a red card.


I'm sure if your a toffee, you'd remember what the Birmingham Chairman said about our bid for Lily Savage. We'll here's the reply that someone at BlueKipper came up with.

"We at Everton can now see that you were right when you basically humbled Everton Football Club during the summer as you described our bid for Robbie Savage as "pathetic and derisory ".You also added that Everton only bids for players that it knows cannot be signed.

We can see clearly the huge gulf that has emerged between the two clubs in recent times.Because of your vision and investment in what some might call the best talent around Birmingham City are a club on the move.

You are at present placed on the very edge of a Champions league place in fifteenth place in the premiership.You have gathered together a goal scoring footballing machine admired throughout the football world.

Everton on the other hand as you so wisely suggested are a club long gone past its sell by date.We languish in third place precariously dangling a mere seventeen points above the relegation zone.We were forced into the bargain bin of football transfers.We have had to make do with the likes of Cahill and Bent instead of the wonderful talents of Heskey,Melchiot and Gronkjaer.

We all now realise the man you are and the type of club you lead.You have shown us what can be acheived by the type of players that you signed in the summer.Many of these players were linked to Everton but as you so forcefully pointed out Everton could not afford them. Birmingham did sign these stars and now you are reaping the rewards.

The owners and management at Everton appear to act in a different way to Birmingham, especially regarding transfer dealings with other clubs. Keeping a dignified silence certainly would appear to be an avenue you would not favour.

It is obvious that a club like Everton with its long tradition of top flight football, its many league and cup successes, its long tradition for producing the most talented young players of signing the most promising talent is not a route you choose to follow. Rather it would appear that instead of letting your football do your talking for you, you have chosen to let your talking play your football for you."


Sweeet...
