Tom Cleverley - Now signed for Everton

[pauliewalnuts]

He can say all he likes, but 75k a week and not having to move house are the reasons he signed for Everton, not because Bobby M is there or Everton are a great club. And who can blame him, I would have done the same. Still a weasel.

None of that we know, though, do we?

[AVH87]

My take on it is he would have signed for Everton if they offered 10k less a week than us. He's from the North West, has enjoyed playing under Martinez before, and Everton finish in the top 10 as a minimum every season, whereas it is very up in the air what's happening with us.

Not wishing to side-track but, that last game of the season versus Wimbledon in 1994 still remains highly suspicious to me.  Obviously not beyond the realms of possibility to come back from 0-2 down after twenty minutes but, Everton were shit that season and given the match fixing allegations that emerged afterwards, I still have my doubts.  I really wanted them to go that year, shame on me.

My memory might be playing tricks but wasn't there a very dubious goal in that match involving a basic error by the Wimbledon goalie ?

Knowing as I do the fondness many Evertonians have for the Villa, I don't see any issue at all in wishing to see them relegated.

Who was the main suspect in the subsequent enquiry IIRC.

I don't wish relegation on anyone really as I feel the pain of every decent supporter of the clubs it happens to.  The attendees of the likes of Manure, Chavski and Liverpool can kiss my big fat hairy arse mind.

Everton’s Tom Cleverley and family threatened by burglars in raid on home

The Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley and his family were threatened by intruders armed with baseball bats during a raid on their Manchester home.

The former Manchester United player, 26, was in the house with his wife Georgina Dorsett and their two-year-old daughter when the break-in happened, but all were unhurt.

The intruders reportedly stole two cars, jewellery and handbags, with a source telling The Sun: “Tom and Georgina weren’t physically hurt but it was a horrific ordeal for them – especially as their little girl was with them. The only thing in their minds was protecting her. This was a very, very nasty incident and the couple have been shaken beyond belief.”

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: “At around 8pm on Friday 2 October 2015, police were called to an address in Hale Barns following a report of a break-in. Officers attended and discovered a man, a woman and an infant who had been the victims of an aggravated burglary. None of the victims were injured. An investigation was subsequently launched and is on-going.”

Sadly it does seem to be a relatively common occurance for Liverpool based footballers.

That's horrific, It shouldn't happen but if I was a footballer or a high earner i'd get security. It's a sad old state

[Toronto Villa]

It's amazing the amount of stories of robberies from footballers from that part of the world. And especially in this case where their child was present. Nothing is more terrifying for a parent than the thought of their children being hurt or worse.

It seems to happens a lot for cheshire based footballers. I wonder how much security these homes have. They should use 50% of one week pay to invest in security every couple of years. Hope his family is ok.

Do the Midlands based footballers have any problems like this. Just asking.
