It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

:o)

Genuine question CC? Needless to say I haven't read right through your post, but one bit (below) that did stand out interested me.

Why the negativity surrounding Kenwright and the others do you think?

"People will always have it in for Kenwright, and many have been sceptical about Koeman , Moshiri and Walsh , myself included, but if you can't be excited about what is happening at the club at the moment, I think you should pack it all in and do something else."

Mainly his history in the Moyes era Stan and the way the club was depicted in those days. As for Koeman, Moshiri and Walsh, have to agree with with the posters sentiments above. Exciting times ahead.

Ken Wright wears his heart on his sleeve. A good man in a time when money and success, not loyalty, is what rules. I reckon he finds that hard to deal with.

Wenger has come into even more criticism, as a manager, so different circumstances, but he has been at the top for more than 20 years and I think it is great that the board stand behind him. I prefer him to that screwed up gadfly Mourinho. God knows how he interpreted for Bobby all those years ago, if his current level of english is anything to go by.

Thanks CC.

Now this is what you call a "real" mid-field signing http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40557497

..chortle chortle.

WOW!!! They'll have to sell a serious amount of pies to pay for him Stan :0)

Indeed CC indeed -): individually I don't rate Cork highly on his past form with us but Dyche obviously sees something in him to pay that amount..i.e. fits into the team pattern.

In what way Stan , because he's useless ? :-)

Got it in one Dil...4 sodding years as well -):

Lol , rumours that like you we're signing a gypo today but getting him for his true market value on a free transfer :-)

Can't beat free then...unless he breaks his arm signing on the dotted line -):

It's our favoured price range.

Out of touch with your lot's situation on and off the field, so whats occurring these days?

Now been told it's Lee Tomlin from the Wurzels.

Warnock wheeling and dealing and this could be our seventh signing without hardly spending a penny.

Still need to shift a bit of dead wood like Noone and we still got a few million up our sleeves to bring in a striker before deadline day.

Don't think we're going to run away with the league but should be able to sustain a play off push this season.

Problem is we're always shit in the play offs.

Ah Noone, always impressed with him when coming on against us so we might be prepared to take him on loan...I'll give Shaun a buzz -):

There's about 20,000 people in S Wales who would willingly drive him up for free if you can pull it off Stan :-)

...oh well in that case forget it -):

Big game tonight here in Dublin.

Wayne Rooney does not want to use the word 'fairytale' about his return to Everton but it seems he is fighting a losing battle.
Having returned to his boyhood club, Rooney marked his second Everton debut by scoring a spectacular goal.
The 30-yard strike had echoes of his first Premier League goal for the club against Arsenal in 2002, with a touch to control then a curled shot into the top corner. It helped Everton to a 2-1 win over Kenyan side Gor Mahia in Tanzania.
