The rain, it raineth every day
A history of failure, and continuing its dismal tradition.
Can't argue with this.

How Everton came to be a club forever yearning for a new dawn
How Everton would love to emulate their rivals this weekend, a Manchester City side that have shed their status as the second team in town and leapfrogged United on the pitch and in terms of trophies and glorywww.independent.co.uk
It was strongly rumoured Mansour showed interest in us first but was turned away so went away and bought City instead. We could have been where they are now.

A strong rumour that was untrue...Mansoor was always going to buy City, to help his mate Shinawatra out of o massive hole. Mansoor was only interested in Everton as much as he was interested in other Prem clubs,and this interest was virtually zilch.

It went a lot further than that, DD and all that...
I doubt it.As soon as Shinny realised he could not get his money out of his home country, he contacted the Mansoors who were friends of his,and offered City to them, knowing that they were looking for a football club in England. This is from a journo who is close to City,and close to the City director who paid wages and running costs during the period that Shinny was 'waiting for his money'. This story was later confirmed from another source. Mansoor wanted City not just for the team,but for the opportunities around the Commonwealth Stadium for building and business development and something they called 'cultural development'(!)
