August 2011 I said a while back that we needed to be prepared to make a small step back and work on reducing our debt, personally I would sell Jags for £15M, bring in Dann or another at half the price. Sell Fellaini if he wont sign for £15M/£20M and bring in someone at half the price and then look at some free transfers and see if we can get Yakubu and Billy off our wage bill. The surplus cash needs to be used to reduce our debt.

I can guarantee the interest on our debt will be £4/£5m per season, if we paid off our debt we wouldn't have debt interest or capital repayments which would give us a little breathing space. But we will need to wheel and deal, Moyes is the man for this but we as fans we need to be prepared to lose our best players every so often until we pay off the debts.

We don't need a massive investor, someone who can at the very least pay off the debts and provide us with a little more structure would be an acceptable way forward. I think we need to face upto the fact we are stuck at Goodison, Kirkby might not have been all that bad after all!

Putting up prices isnt a good idea, a global depression is on the way and people will cut out their excesses first of all!

Someone needs to get a grip of football, the wages, transfers fees are out of control! We need to look at the German model and if this means the quality of players reduces then so be it, but it will still remain a competitive league with an exciting style of football.

Well imagine the potential team in 4/5 years. If Fellaini went and we gave other young players a chance. We would have Rodwell, Barkley, Osman, Forshaw and Wallace! A true scouse Midfield. Play Baxter upfront. Keep Baines and Hibbert in the full back positions, buy Scott Dann, and suddenly we have got a quality team of local lads.

lol hibbert in 4/5 years time will be well past it his not good enoiugh now also osman would be past it.

August 2011 If Yak and Yobo go that will reduce the wage bill. Sell Billy approx £7m Sell Fella, rodders (fella keeps getting injured anyway and rodders was average last year, Would we really miss them???) and Jags £15-20m each, buy Scott Dann and another defensive mid, get sturridge on loan. Debts would be cleared and running in the black and still have a decent team.
