The Everton Forum • Re: Jadon Philogene
I remember believing we had a real opportunity to close that gap if we implemented the DOF model with someone shrewd pulling the strings after we sacked Martinez. I also remember being totally convinced that Moshiri was going to commit to this (like a moron).Bournemouth, ahead of selling Kerkez in the summer, have just signed his successor for like £6m. 2 years younger.
Had moshiri had A clue, or we had implemented a proper football strategy back then with the finances we had, we honestly could be anywhere now. A few years ago the thought of breaking the top 6 was as big an achievement as top 4 in the early 00s, now the league is fractured, with teams like villa, Newcastle, Brighton, forest apparently, Bournemouth, Fulham, Brentford, all looking ready to step into gaps.
Had we bought and sold well, we could be champions League regulars now.
We opted to try to gate crash the top 4 like Chelsea or City without any mind being paid to the fact that those clubs pulled the ladder up behind them.
We can still catch up to all the clubs you mentioned but instead of being in the pole position to capitalize when the money clubs falter, we’re just one of many competing to step up.
