Gary Lineker, the multi millionaire, can afford to avail himself of advisors, who help him avoid paying tax. I wish I could afford, to avail myself of similar advice, on avoiding prison. For not paying the BBC poll tax. AKA the TV licence fee. I can advise you on how to avoid the requirement to pay...

Nope not struggling. If I was a rising person in a profession that sacks people at the drop of a hat. I would not sign a contract that holds me into 12 months to them. Looks like I am obviously wrong but his advisers need sacking. IMHO You'd want a shorter contract? With less compensation if you we...

Yes.

Surely our expected goals against should be low because we force the opposition into having attempts with a very low chance of conversion the obvious exceptions being Chelsea and Man City (teams that had enough quality to have attempts with a higher chance of success) and Spurs who were about as ba...

What it says is that based on the possession and shooting data, including where they are shooting from, Crystal Palace should have scored 14 and conceded 17; Burnley should have scored 6 and conceded 16 instead of scoring 10 and conceding 9. Which is a bit crackers, because no way are Palace a mid-...

Really? Quite a few of our players will have "appreciated" in value (Heaton, Pope, Ward, Mee and Tarkowski just to mention a few). Surely, our current squad is worth far more than we paid for them That isn't how depreciation works. The transfer fee paid for the player is written off over the length...

If you want to be technical about it, then what you said was 100% true and 100% useless. Passing on what you have been told while disclaiming all responsibility for its accuracy makes the post meaningless - you could have been told it by a drunk mate and you knew it to be false for all we know. Pos...

It's a bit more complicated than you think. If you say "Everton will offer Dyche a contract", and they don't, then it doesn't necessarily mean there were further developments. There is also the possibility, faint though it may be, that you were wrong. Let's face it, you wouldn't be the only person ...

I know, there were obviously further developments, as I said on post 491. It's not that complicated.

You must have missed my post #491.

For what it's worth, I did say that they'd met with Allardyce early last week, before it was in the papers.

I did tell you all last week that they'd spoken to Allardyce, before it was all over the papers.

Most people would find a way of paying less or no tax if they could and it effects both ends of the pay scale. A friend's daughter wants to set up home with the boyfriend, a painter & decorator. He has lived with his parents till now and managed to ensure he's been paid cash in hand and has paid no...

I doubt the bookies or their shareholders are interested in manipulating a tiny betting market.

Tall Paul

Obviously nobody will believe me, but the latest from Goodison is that no decision has been made. Something has obviously changed between yesterday and this morning, hopefully that SD has decided to stay, or it could be that BFS is prepared to lower his demands. Looks like it could run for another f...

But then we'd be foreign owned!

Tall Paul

If Allardyce will take Shakespeare as his assistant, that's one of the barriers to him getting the job gone. I don't think Everton wanted to employ Sammy Lee.

Tall Paul

He has significant control but not full control as he can be outvoted by the other shareholders.

Tall Paul

Just for you TP. Everton are controlled by a foreigner who happens to have gained British citizenship. Is he British? No, he was born in Iran. Does he reside in Britain? No, he resides in Monaco. He wasn't born here and neither does he reside here but he does have control of Everton. He is British ...

Tall Paul

Born in Iran, resides in Monaco. So he came over here and been granted British citizenship, he's a foreigner. Don't want to go through the same crap discussed on the mo farra thread before IT ruined it, so I'll add.. in my opinion. Your opinion is irrelevant. It is a fact that he's British. It's al...

Everton isn't owned by a foreigner.

Both bits of information would leave his position untenable if he didn’t take the job.

I didn't state that he's been offered a contract.

Tall Paul

You'd trust a football agent who might be trying to get the best out of the deal as possible? I think you might have to go back to your ITK mate on Everton and check on this 3.5 year contract as it doesn't really stack up. It must just be you and your mate who know about this 3.5 year as Dyche's ha...

You tell me Tall Paul or go and ask your mate. If I was employing someone when my club was on its knees and a pot full of sky cash resting on it I'd want to see the whites of his eyes personally and know how he planned to get em out of the brown stuff in significant detail. Don't be so naive. The p...

Are you sure about that? If they've been talking to his agent it's almost as good as an interview.

Tall Paul

It could be agreed in principle without any tapping up.

Tall Paul

Sidney1st wrote:I am.

To speak to someone under contract requires permission.
That includes agreeing a contract.

You need your bubble bursting.

They don't need permission to talk to his agent.

Tall Paul

It's not a done deal yet, SD could still turn them down or BFS compromise his demands. I trust this source's info on Everton though, he's never been wrong so far.

Tall Paul

I thought it wasn't until March. Cork's on four as well isn't he?

Tall Paul

They're not getting relegated.

Tall Paul

To agree a contract it would require them to talk to Burnley first. Is the £2.5 million an automatic release clause, or a compensation clause? I think we got more for Howe... I didn't say a contract had been agreed, just that Everton are ready to offer one. In real life, they'll have discussed it w...

Tall Paul

Sidney1st wrote:So does that mean they’ve already approached Burnley for permission to speak to Dyche?

I don't know. It seems common knowledge that there's a set fee of £2.5m for compensation, so I'd imagine it'd just be a simple case of them telling Burnley that they're willing to pay it.

Tall Paul

NL Claret wrote:Were you told if he would be interviewed before being offered the job?

No, but I've already been told (and posted on here) that they've already spoken to his representatives who have indicated that he wants it.

Tall Paul

I've just been told that Everton are going to offer SD a three and a half year contract in the next few days.

Tall Paul

I haven’t spoken to an Everton fan who wants him yet. I've spoken to a few this afternoon. I’ve spoken to plenty who don’t think it’s a bad idea, but nobody seems to have any more idea than us as to whether he’s actually in the frame or not. I have been told by a couple of people claiming to have g...

I understand where you're coming from Claret 82, but integrity isn't the right word.

Integrity is the same as honesty and SD has been totally honest in that he's never dismissed any links or said that he'll be here for ever, unlike OC.

Tall Paul

OK you missing the point. Football is more than just business anyone who denies that is clearly tapped. However even in business if an employee is in the middle of a case that has taken all year to prepare and is the only case the company cares about and is their leader and that employee leaves for...

I'll explain about integrity, it is matching words with actions. Dyche has come across as someone who does the right thing for the club, the town, his players etc etc. Integrity would involve staying till the end of the season, simple. Therefore the town, the players, the club have not been left in...

It's you that's finding it difficult. Without being arsed to look back at your posts this is how I would sum up your posts: 1) If Dyche goes to Everton there's little difference between him and 'lying' Coyle 2) To justify this you say that Dyche representatives have already been in contact with Eve...

I'm not sure the OP knows what integrity is.

When SD goes, his integrity will be intact.
