They are fumin..........
From just one poster on rawk-
For years Everton have banged on about the fans they have only coming from Local areas - which may ring true - but also commercially means you can't improve much
Your attendances have steadily declined over the past decade.
Your Season Tickets/Tickets are given away.
You still can't fill your stadium despite the above.

This Usmanov is in London, a major European City. A club which commercially could be taken through the roof. The possibility of what Arsenal could achieve is probably double that of Manchester United - that is potentially huge.
Why would he want to suddenly jump ship to Everton? I mean Catch22 give me 5 good reasons he would actually come and invest in you instead?
How does one improve a club that -
Is in one of the poorest area's of Britain
Has a tiny following
Has been only able to attract sponsors such as Chang and those other dodgy people you had recently.
And to improve Everton he probably has to spend upwards of £500 million.
How does he get any of his investment back? When commercially your club just isn't a good asset to have.
This guy that's taken 49% will make some money with the new TV deal, he might even pump in a little money and get you a little better of. But you aren't suddenly going to be City, Chelsea, etc - As it makes no financial sense what so ever.
It doesn't even make business sense, as you aren't a big name, that is going to suddenly improve these guys portfolio.
Just be glad your not going under anymore. Be glad you have someone a bit more stable than Kenright, but don't get ahead of yourselves. There's still only one big club in Merseyside.
