It's easy for casual observers to shrug off or dismiss the Evertonians calls for Bill Kenwright and the rest of the board to get the hell out of the club. It's easy to say, it's just another group of fans whining because times are a little tough, but this situation cannot be easily tossed in to that traditional mold of the displeased football supporter.

Mirror: Every day at Everton shows why Moyes is such a remarkable boss

The day David Moyes looks for a new challenge away from Goodison Park is the day Everton should be worried. Until then, Moyes will carry on working miracles with a few slip-ups along the way. And he is performing miracles.

If you were after a textbook example of top-flight English football's failed business model, you couldn't go wrong with Everton consistently decent Premier League performers with consistently high home crowds and a consistently money-generating transfer policy. Yet, without a sharp shift in attitude and fortune, financial ruin awaits.

News of a takeover any takeover will be perceived very well by supporters of Everton.

Owner Bill Kenwright is a Blue through and through, but he simply does not have the funds to keep the club competing at the level it has previously under manager David Moyes, which has seen the Merseyside club not only lag behind their city rivals Liverpool in spending on new players, but also the rest of the Premier League.

Entering the home straight. And a word for Tweetsport who have been massively supportive of this blogathon.
And they've adopted Alzheimer Scotland's quite stunning Football Memories project as their site charity. All their help has been massively appreciated.

If there is a man in football who seems to love his club and be doing all he can for it, it must be Bill Kenwright, who appears [.

Liverpool have spent a total of £7.5 million per point in the Barclays Premier League, between last October when the new owners purchased the club and the end of last season, according to the FourFourTwo annual football rich list.
Fenway Sports Group purchased the club last October from previous owners Hicks and Gillett, and have taken the club from being close to ruin to in a stable financial position and capable of challenging for Champions League football.

Little introduction needed for tomorrow's match, which marks the 216th Merseyside Derby. Last season's encounter at Goodison was farcical from a Liverpool perspective, with the hosts dominating the match and deservedly earning a 2-0 victory that sent the Reds into the bottom three. Thankfully fortunes have changed, but what's sure to be the same is the fiery temperament that's come to be associated with the match-up, especially in recent years.

Tea and Crumpets has always been a fan of taking the opportunity to talk to opposing fans in an effort to learn a little bit about their strange, quaint ways. To perhaps build a bridge, find a common ground, or if all else fails simply indulge in some good food while snickering at them from behind our hand.

When I was a boy, the Merseyside Derby ranked up with those Old Firm games from North of The Border in passion and sheer entertainment. At that time, Everton were no better a team than they are now, and I'll grant you that in those days, Liverpool were the dominant team, not only in England but across the whole of Europe.

For Everton fans, the last few months have represented some of the most depressing times at the Goodison Park club. Saddled with financial woes, and with almost no money to spend in the transfer market, Everton have been forced to sell their top players for several seasons now, culminating in the last minute deals that saw Mikel Arteta and Jermaine Beckford leave the club.

Arsenal vs Swansea from the Emirates Stadium, London
So many question marks heading into this one for Arsenal. Will their new signings work out? Of course the answer to that will take some time, and we'll see over the course of the season, not just one game.

Protest seems to be the words on the lips of two sets of fans in the Premier League this week as they have grown tired of their club's plight.
Everton and Blackburn supporters are not known for their militancy, in fact protest goes against Blackburn's sleepy Lancashire town image. Evertonians meanwhile usually see protests as ‘something Liverpool fans do'.

Three years ago, the publication of accounts for the holding companies of Arsenal and Everton provided a stark contrast between clubs who were, at the time covered by those accounts, three places apart in English club football's pecking order. While Arsenal were opening superstores in Vietnam, Everton were forced to outsource their own merchandising due to poor performance.

It's no secret that Everton have been relatively inactive in the transfer market this summer – and also that this inactivity was not necessarily through choice. It has been revealed by Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright that their hands are tied by the financial constraints of operating in post-recession Britain – and there have been more unsettling words to have come from the man in charge of the Goodison Park purse-strings:
"We've come to a stage with our bank where we just can't borrow any more.

By Tony Attwood Phil's comment in his Man U match preview that his boss was offering a bet that Everton would end up higher than Arsenal this season made me smile. Of course my smile vanished in the light of the result in Manchester, but that did not change the fact that Bill Kenwright has [...]

Troubling Times Ahead for Everton? - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

Everton's summer has been a downpour of disappointment. The tale of the club's financial hardship may be legendary, but, after the recent transcript publication of their perilous situation, the reality is stark. The club has stagnated; the future forecast is bleak.

Everton midfielder Tim Cahill has asked the fans to respect chairman Bill Kenwright's honesty and not to vilify him.

The next step for Financial Fair Play - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

It is fact that the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" in European football grows evermore larger. Last season in the English Premier League proved this adroitly when Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure reportedly earned more per week than the entire Blackpool squad.

Everton: The land that time forgot is a post from: Just Football

Transfers? Never heard of 'em. Not round here my friend. Jonah Loeb guides us through summer at Goodison.

Goodison Park, the grand old ground of Everton FC, lies deserted. Crows gather on the rafters to discuss the transfer market in caws and croaks; a miserable half-eaten pie lies under a seat in the Gwladys End feeding the Evertonian flies.

Their Words No, I don't think it's the greatest football club in the world, I know it's the greatest football club in the world. Everton chairman Bill Kenwright. Other Sources Kyle Beckerman says Jurgen Klinsmann brings energy - from The Desert News' James Edward: "The neat thing about it was we got stronger and we got better as a team as the game wore on," said Beckerman.

Bill Kenwright has been Everton chairman since 2004

Pre-season is usually a time when football fans begin to feel optimistic about their team's chances ahead of the new season. With new signings to be unveiled as financed by the ever-growing amounts of money pumped into the game it is also a time when fans look forward to seeing some new blood in the squad which can help the team improve from last season's performance, and maybe even win a trophy.

The Goodison Park stairwell where Carlo Ancelotti was reportedly sacked is a warm and friendly part of the ground, where veteran doormen in blazers exchange pleasantries with old school Evertonians and Bill Kenwright, the club's chairman, floats through dispensing bonhomie.

It is a place, in other words, of decorum and permanence and not the kind of area where a thoroughly capable manager would expect to be dispatched moments after being allowed to say, in a post-match press conference, that a meeting would be held next week to discuss his future.

For several months now – you could argue the entire season – Evertonians have been desperate for the season to end. The team's abject displays, clear lack of quality and poor results rapidly eroded the bedrock of optimism that previous years had created. There is a feeling that the club must now start again.

Let me just state one thing before I continue: Everton Football Club are a traditional English big club. A club that enjoyed having players such as the late, great Dixie Dean who is still the only man to score 60 goals in one season. Players like World Winner Alan Ball, England goal scoring legend Gary Lineker and modern day England Forward Wayne Rooney.

Ever wondered what's going on at Everton? Perennially on the fringes of the big time, the club has now been leapfrogged by Manchester City and Champions League football seems as far away as ever. We spoke to a friend of GhostGoal, Colin Huntington, to get the lowdown on how it feels to be an Evertonian in 2011 .

With Everton being dragged into a relegation battle, Chelsea faltering in defense of their Premier League crown, and West Ham struggling for any sort of consistency it is surely only a matter of time before the next Premier League manager is sacked.

In terms of patience shown towards managers this has been a relatively good season for those occupying the Premier League dugouts.

It says a lot for Everton's finances that David Moyes has to loan a striker to a Championship club - who will cover all his wages - in order to fund a loan signing.
But as the Scot desperately searches for a striker he is forced to release one of his current crop – admittedly one who has only scored once in 15 games – in order to have enough cash to do so.
