irrespective of the direct financial gain every year; it would mean that everton would become a club attractive to foreign investors.
ask yourself why City were bought and not Everton?
Our fan base is as big.
Our position within both cities is about the same (large local support and some global support - but overshadowed by a local neighbour that has had considerably more success and has a more established brand)
Our squad is much better - anyone wanting to take over our club to challenge for the title would be doing so from a position of relative strength (unlike city)
Our manager is better - indeed one of the best in the world.
Our debts were pretty bad, but then so were man cities.
- the difference is City had a stadium (gifted to them btw from the commonwealth games and the local tax payer - shame Capital of Culture couldn't have done the same for us).
that stadium, with its corporate hospitality and capacity to support a team that plays in the upper echelons of the champions league is what an investor looks for. They dont have to expend any money or time or resources on the stadium issue as its sorted.
this is why we try to move to Kirby - right or wrong.
either we put up with no money, or we move (anything else is hoping for a miracle)
