He has been ill for quite some time now, which is a real shame, i'm not sure if it's intensified over the past few weeks or not but i hope not, i hope he recovers soon and can spend his time away and in peace a bit now.
I think that's part of the now very real urgency to sell, especially to someone who he knows will do okay with the club, but his health is clearly not permitting him to do his duties as a chairman as he'd like and he is quite old now.
Hopefully any potential deals with a takeover are done quickly so he can enjoy his retirement away from football and recover quickly.
Whilst i don't like him as a chairman or businessman at all, he is an Evertonian and is meant to be a very nice bloke so i hope he isn't seriously ill at all and it'd be horrible to lose someone so soon after HK.
All the best Bill.
