He went in big on the frozen flavoured chips, they were a huge mistake.
I recall at the time he basically rebuilt his whole factory for the mass-producing of these chips and they just bombed.
It has been a bad week for Peter Johnson, millionaire chairman of Everton Football Club. Everton are firmly rooted to the bottom of the Premier League.
Things have got so bad that Mr Johnson will need a police escort to the home game with Tottenham today.
He is also chairman and the major shareholder of Park Foods, the Merseyside marketing group best known for its Christmas hampers, which yesterday announced that its latest venture had gone disastrously wrong.
DJ Spuddles, Park Food's flavoured potato snack, launched last year, has proved to be an embarrassing flop. The product was targeted at the big food retailers but no contracts were signed before production began.
It has also got on the wrong side of the health lobby, which classifies it as a chip rather than a baked potato.
Spuddles has cost pounds 11.7m to date but total sales were a derisory pounds 87,500 in the six months to the end of September.
Park Foods traditionally loses money in the first half of the year but this year losses grew by 19 per cent to pounds 6.2m.
A new version of Spuddles will be launched shortly which can be baked, not fried, but the future of the venture hangs in the balance.
Mr Johnson owns 67 per cent of the group.

I mean it was a very good achievement to deny that Man. United side (they won all the other FA cup finals they featured in the 90s) but the league seasons around that time were the total pits.
Very lucky to survive in 1994 and then Walker (a bit like Lampard) gets too much of the following season and Royle has to perform a Dyche type great escape himself.
Royle should've been backed far far more and regrettably he walked out at the peak of his managerial prowess. Then had farce of endless top level managers rejecting the job in summer 1997 and then Kendall coming back for his third spell which really shouldn't have happened as one goal away from destroying so much of his legacy.
Too much damage had been done by summer 1998 as I did think Walter Smith was a good appointment and he was backed that summer with Materazzi, Dacourt, John Collins and there was also good youth coming through so it should've worked out. Selling Ferguson mid season was the final straw.
The 2000s to me were far better. You had Kenwright making that cracking call to get in Moyes and then over the years a really good value for money side was constructed. Such a shame the final step couldn't be taken on a few occasions.
He was similar to Ellis at Villa. Winning the odd cup but so many poor decisions in the 90s while others were being commercially savvy or playing the foreign market better and that created the chasm that couldn't quite be breached in the 2000s.
Still R.I.P and all that.

This is a good video of how bad it got in November 1997: (4.40)
Beaten at home by a really poor Spurs (Christian Gross first win) and was a long sit in after the final whistle.
Were bottom of the league at that point so Kendall did well to settle everything down and scramble an o.k run in Jan-Feb that really kept the team up with little backing.

Unbeaten derby record against the rs, he won a trophy and signed what probably was our best player of the premier league era in Andrei Kanchelskis.
Things went a bit awry towards the end when his business entered financial difficulty.
In the overall grand scheme of things he made a very positive contribution to this club. RIP Peter Johnson.

Let's just hope they don't turn Sunday,s match programme cover into a shrine like they did with Kenwright and bizarrely The Queen after her death .

We did finish 6th in the following season after that cup win though. It's no coincidence that things started to spiral out of control for Johnson, as soon as his business started to lose money.
At the end of the day unlike Bill Kenwright, Peter Johnson did deliver a trophy to the Goodison trophy cabinet. I'd gladly take Johnsons odd cup, over Kenwrights no cups at all any day mate.

Kept the team up with little backing. Didn't the exact same thing happen with Kenwright and Moshiri last year as well?
Don't hate him as much as Kenwright, but still hate him.
For the FA Cup Royle won, we got sold to the biggest charlatan of them all, gave Tranmere money for turds, sold off most assets, made Royle quit and got a half-arsed, old man end.

Who talked him into this? Imagine the focus group. It's frankly insane. "DJ Spuddles" great idea boss, that's a winner if there ever was...He went in big on the frozen flavoured chips, they were a huge mistake.
