...how much change there has been within the club since the takeover was completed in mid-December.

There were a lot of changes to be made off the pitch as well as on it, as well as the completion of the stadium project and arrangement of the test events etc.

We absolutely won't, but even if we went into this season with the current squad we've got now, we're still in a much MUCH better place overall as a football club than we've been in literally decades, and that in itself is utterly remarkable and I think should be a solid cause for delight among Evertonians.

I know that nowadays (in the Age of Entitlement!) everyone wants instant success and gets impatient far too quickly but speaking personally, I understand and accept the difficulties involved with squad improvement, I'm very very happy with where we're at overall and I'm counting down the minutes to the Roma and Brighton games - absolutely can't wait 💙💙
