Regardless, Nike were defo paying us 3m a year, if you think we would leave Nike, to accept 2m a year from somebody else, well, yano.

I'm 95% sure it's just the same deal with umbro as it was with Nike.

Its what happens when a club is actually for sale

They'll be a complete lack of fume from our fans if this happens though.

Apparently we are the fifteenth most valuable 'club brand' in the whole wide world. This apparently makes us increasingly attractive to investors and sponsors. I await future developments with studied interest

Don't forget to breathe regularly mate.
Could this latest PR campaign from the Club be a final plee for anyone on business to help them out, aka provide a handout they are waiting for, to build a new stadium?

well it's the kind of thing we've got to accept given that @Whistlin' Dixie and @bizzaro went on to prove that Villa are a bigger club than us, that's why they've been taken over

Its because they're for sale for £150 million. Lerner's screwed them right over.

I think that's around the (admittedly unofficial) going rate for ourselves

From 'The Mersey Millionaires' to this :

Lerner bought Villa for £55m in September 2006 and his financial outlay on the club is estimated at around £300 million.

Kenwrong and his cronies paid 20m and the financial outlay on the club is estimated at around £000000000000000 million and 00000000000000p.

But hey, #ALWNV

Correct.

The problem is, what can we do as fans? Having been on the forums for over ten years, I've seen millions of these discussions over and over again. What has changed? Nothing. I want to see the back of the current set up as much as anyone. We have one of the most lethargic board of directors that have been sleeping ever since Kenwright took over from Johnson. Not even so much as new toilets in the Street End. We did get some TVs mind.

Anyway, out of the Premier League teams- who has actually seen a change in ownership because of fan pressure? The closest I guess you could say is them over the park, but I think in their case Hicks and Gillette were always on borrowed time? Remember United fans and their uproar and rioting when the Glazers came in? They're still there. I'm sure Lerner leaving Villa isn't down to fan pressure either- it's because he realised there's not an easy buck in football.

So where does that leave us? Do we boycott the match like Newcastle fans (that's going well for them.) Do we wave some pseudo- religious banners like them across the park? Do we riot like United fans? I don't know. Genuine question, because I can't think of an answer to bring change about.

As long as Kenwright wants in, he'll be there. The one thing the board have got is a good way of keeping local press in line, and pandering to the 'little old Everton' line we've 'enjoyed' ever since the 80s.
