The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

I think the other problem with the theory of selling our best players mate is have we ever really sold them and reinvested all the money.

Take the two examples I gave.

Rooney, as far as I can remember we signed Cahill for a couple of million, Marcus Bent for next to nothing and Arteta on loan.

Gordon - we didn’t even get Danjuma on loan.

We to easily accept that we “have to” sell and for some reason believe that, that money is being “reinvested” - when history tells us, it isn’t.

Unless you never heard of the interview, Bill Kenwright was recorded saying they sold Rooney to pay off the debt. I mean, call me crazy but selling your clubs best asset for below market value and not spending any of it sounds pretty bad. The fact it happened, at least, 3 times is crazy that anyone supported him even half way.
