But I also think what would I rather have.
Peter Johnson #100-150m fortune when owner of Everton.
Bill Kenwright #50m at a guess present day.
Reidy where the heck did you get this pictures of Earl from?
The whole Kenwright thing, well i used to be a supporter, and in a way i still am, whilst i hate what he is doing to the club, i still think its out of love for the club.
For me there is two reasons why we havnt been sold, either, he loves the club too much to let it go, come on its everyones dream here to own Everton FC, perhaps he just loves the role and control he has.
Reason two, he loves the club too much to let it go to anyone, and he is still searching for the "perfect" owner...only perfection can never be found (other than Holly Willoughby)...
...Either way, he should just realise that its worth a gamble, and best for the club that he sell asap, and its obvious that he isnt trying that hard. Everton FC is a club with a great history, known well internationally, and yet clubs like Blackburn still get investment.
I used to believe Everton was on parr with Tottenham, but simply because of money, Tottenham are going places, and you can only see one direction for Everton, wether it be fast or slowly, our main competitors are likely to become clubs like Fulham, Blackburn, Newcastle!! Its horrible to think!
1. Everton's net spend since the Premier League began is £55M (1992-2011); in the same period, we have sold £48.2M of youth players, meaning the club have spent just £6.8M of the money outside of youth players sales.
2. On the Official site we have 30 1st team players listed, 15 of which cost nothing, 7 cost £3M or less, 3 cost £5M or less and 5 cost more than £5M, given that Yakubu is one of the last 5, is out on loan, this now means over half of our squad cost nothing.
3. In 1998, before Sky and Premier League windfalls plus shirt sponsorships, Everton broke the transfer record for £2.2M (Cottee) yet, 23 years later, 20 out of our 30 squad of players cost less to buy than Cottee, and the club tells us we can't afford a loan player!!
4. Our net spend is the 11th highest in Prem, yet we are only one of 7 clubs to play in every Prem season.
5. Villa and Spurs are similar clubs & gates to us yet Villa have spent £60M net and Spurs £140M net more than us.
6. Wages? you ask... No, we are only 10th in the wages league.
7. Moyes has spent £106M but sold £81M, net £25M over 9 seasons, less than £3M per year. 10 managers have spent more than Moyes despite only Ferguson and Wenger being in their posts longer than Moyes.
8. Other possible explanations for the missing money: the ground? One stand rebuilt since the Prem started, and even that was cut in half, supposed to be two-tier.
9. In the last 3 years, here are some of the net spends of clubs over that period: Stoke £44M (£0M debt apparently despite that outlay); WBA £19.25M; Wolves £21.65M; Hull £13.9M; Fulham £12.3M; Birmingham £29.5M... also outspent by Sunderland until the Bent transfer — what is Everton's spend over the same period? £5M!!
10. Other revenues acquired recently which have vanished: Chang £12M; Bellefield £8M; Kitbag £5M.

MD is ITK aka FOS. You can verify that by reading his posts.
Yes still waiting for your apology and you still know sweet FA. Don't like the truth do you, prefer to hide behind your sham of being knowledgeable
Now to business, some thought Johnson was nicking money from the club to keep Park Hampers going, is BK et al helping themselves, if not where has the money gone as alluded to in that article.
