We would be foolish to write off any external interest.
This is Everton, we have done this dance many times.
Dunno mate the new owner of Marseille came out with the statement the other month that they are willing to put 200m dollars into the team in order to turn them into a future French and CL winning team
"I pledge to invest €200m over four years, which is more than has been put in in the last 20 years. The goal is to win the league," the American businessman told
L'Equipe.
"My number one goal is to win Ligue 1; the second is to win the title more often than we don't; and the third is to win the Champions League. We have to manage to do that in that order."
"I'm certain I'll have some surprises, but you always learn in difficult times," McCourt said. "I grew up in Boston, and for me, the similarities with Marseille are striking. Like the Red Sox against the Yankees, OM will be an 'outsider,' who'll win with the heart. That has to be part of the club's DNA.
"We won't spend more money than Barcelona or Madrid, so how are we going to win? With passion, and the fans will be crucial."
So basically his plan is to spend about 30m pound a year for 4 years to create a CL winning team, whilst PSG can spend that total ampount on 2 players without breaking sweat
The guy is a utter buffoon
