      Poorly said, they’ve spent big money, Allison, van dyke, nunez, approach quarter of a million for the three, plus good fees for Gakpo, Jotta and others… some of these are t working, eg Nunez is far from clinical, not a great guy for the fee, but they backed the person (assume manager but unsure to be fair) who wanted him… they are being blamed unfairly. Big money spent of Keira was money down the drain but they paid it, that was over 50m wasted, no fan/manager offers to help repay that wasted money but we all wanted Keita, now they’ve spent big on Dominic, decent money Macalloster with add ons, plus others… they get no credit but have spent good money, people ignore January transfers like I think Diaz, they are far from cheap… they should have sold Salah and used the money for rebuild but that’s the only error for me, they could have kept mane and sold Salah, line Salah but 200m was more than enough for a 32 year old, he won’t be playing for us jn four years. Get off the now Wes back, they have spent money, same as man its’s owners, yet fans ignore the figures and just say more more more, pretty unfair.

    Please break this down into smaller chunks so we can like and share them all for better coverage. Spread it out there bit by bit and hopefully it will help the audience stay tuned in, (we have short attention nowadays) It's great to have the full interview here, (I listened in my truck one night at work) but bite size is better as most of us don't really have the time to sit through all of it at once and may put people off all together. It's so good to hear people's stories whoever you support and relive their lives.

    Alan used to work off the Taxi rank in Liverpool Airport in the early nineties when I got to know him, He took me under his wing and took me with him to a few reserve games that he was covering for the Echo, he let me accompany him to Wembley for a non league final where we got to walk on the famous old Wembley turf - a day I’ll never forget. Another time after covering a reserve match at Anfield where United with Scholes, Beckham & Nicky Butt all featuring for them as up and coming young stars he had to file a report at radio Merseyside, he took me into the studios and after his highly professional 2-3 minute report had been filed for broadcast, then proceeded to do the funniest fake broadcast using the studio equipment and mixing desk that has always stayed with me. The guy is hilarious, so quick witted and just generally an all round sound fella who will go out of his way to look after the people in his life. This was a great interview that brought all of those memories flooding back 30 odd years later.

    That was compulsive viewing, time flew by... Excellent chat, loved listening to Alan, a humble gent of man with blue blood coursing through his veins. Many first hand accounts of his fascinating decades in football. I loved Bob Latchford as a young kid, especially when he smashed his 30th goal of the season in the 70's. As a life long Red, I'm not blinkered to Everton's many achievements and successful players/ managers alike. The new ground at Bramley Moore Dock, is going to be a highly impressive stadium, be the best by far for the new season 2025/26 in the Championship..... 👌🏼
