What’s the story here? Was a bit before my time

I'll try long time ago, Anita Gregg lent Bill money to buy Peter Johnson's shares, PJ owned Everton at the time, she was supposed to have lent Bill £7m to complete the transaction. Paul and Anita Gregg we're then put on the board alongside Bill who I think was also Chairman at the time. Anyway a few years later the Kings Dock stadium came up and Everton in conjunction with the Council were going to build the stadium on the Kings Dock.
The Greggs offered to help fund the stadium, £30m at the time for a state of the art stadium. This video is thirty minutes long and will explain it far better than me, it's from the Horse's mouth as they say
