What if...?

I have just read Chris Evans' book and in it he revealed how he almost bought Everton FC for 13.5 Million in the late nineties..

It [Everton] hardly had any debt at the time, this was 1998, ’99, maybe 2000.

'We had a media group our remit was to grow the company and we had to try and give the investor’s the return that we had promised them.

'One thing we did was looking at buying a newspaper and the other thing we did was look at buying Everton Football Club.

Lets imagine he did complete the deal and give me your views on whether you think it would have been a success or not. Tell me where you think we would be right had this happened..
