People on an Everton forum I'm reading through atm seem to think Kenwright made him hand in the TR to try an appease supporters because he knew he'd be accepting the bid. Say he has a history of doing this. http://www.thesecretfootballer.com/articles/tsf-diary/27894/john-stones-deal-done-and-dusted-chelsea-can-offer-so-much-more-than-everton/ ^ That's a good read. Chelsea will compensate him for the bonus he loses by requesting a transfer.
Fans of all football clubs would be better off if they recognized the place of their clubs in the food chain, the grand scheme of things. Most don't however and thus suffer from delusions of grandeur. Liverpudlians seem to suffer from it more so than others.
Let's be honest - live in London, play under Mourinho and take over from Terry or live in Manchester, listen to pig face and babysit Smalling. Hmm, tough choice.
Good people are good. Bad people throw their toys out the pram and paint others as evil because somebody they don't know personally made a career choice.
Seriously, if the mods have had their fun can we please go back to normality? I feel like I'm reading off an alphabet chart every time I open one of these threads.
We should aim higher than ''not bad''. One moment we're supposedly looking at JT's successor, the next we settle for this? Hoping it's a leak timed in conjunction with Stones' transfer request to force Everton to take the money and run while they have the chance.
