It would also leave us with the liability though, people seem to keep forgetting to mention that bit. If he gains in value it's great, if he tanks it's not. I'm fine with us using the multi club model for mutually beneficial arrangements, I'm not...
We are not going to be doing it without an upside or at least a potential upside for Everton. The directors would be failing in their fiduciary responsibilities if they did.
IF it did happen (it’s probably nonsense) my guess it would probably relate to the TFG group pumping money into Everton via the women’s team sale within the group.

I immediately thought it was rubbish but thinking about it I see potentially how it could work in terms of benefiting both clubs and I assume other multi team groups do similar things.
It does seem very weird and not quite right though. Sort of...
