Fans have bitterly criticised Johnson for refusing to invest in the club and selling star players. 'This is a great Christmas present for all Everton fans,' said Kevin Nolan of the Everton shareholders' association.

The team that played on boxing day, and beat Sunderland - I was there.
Gerrard, Unsworth, Weir, Gough, Dunne, Barmby (Moore 74), Hutchison, Collins, Pembridge, Campbell, Jeffers (Cleland 74).
Subs Not Used: Watson, Cadamarteri, Simonsen.

Unrealistic expectations + any reason to squabble & blame = Davek.
I love him though.
