I reckon there's a good chance either Baines or Fellaini (or even both) could follow Moyes to Utd, both making a decent profit for EFC, so any new manager would have funds to invest in new players...

That's how Everton has managed though. Selling off good players, especially those it has brought on, like Rooney and Lescott. Everton will never progress while it operates like a feeder team, something that most of lower footy clubs are forced to do because of how the game has evolved post sky input. If you are not one of the top four with huge investment behind you, you will never be able to compete with the top four. That's why top end footy is boring to me now. There's no competition. Just the top four, and then the rest.

Next Everton manager - Martinez current bookies favourite, followed by Phil Neville, Lennon, Laudrup and Vitor Pereira (who he?) Odds also being offered on Hughes, Poyet, Benitez, Malky Mackay, Lambert, Duncan Ferguson (!!) and Carragher (500-1).

" If you are not one of the top four with huge investment behind you"


Not sure I'd say Arsenal have huge investment behind us


We have some billionare shareholders to be sure, but investing in the club? Quite the opposite


League table of those 4 clubs and their owners in terms of "here have some cash when you want" would look like


Chelsea

City

Man U

Arsenal

It's the penultimate round of matches predictors, Week 33 fixtures...

RD v SC


As I'm involved, do we have a volunteer to receive the predictions by PM and then post them up on here?


As the aggregate score rule was such a roaring success in the Champions League, we'll have a deciding rule in similar vein...in the event of a tie on points e.g. both players predict a correct win but neither a correct score, then the player who predicted a scoreline closest to the actual scoreline, will be the winner. If it is still tied, then the player who predicted the nearest to the time of the first goal scored, will be the winner. If no goal scored then it's the flip of a coin...


SC, as well as the score you will need to predict the time of the first goal scored.

Extra time does not count...

You mean (in a scouse accent) "I just hope for a goal and indigo?"

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
