It Beggars Belief

That a chairman of a club in the predicament we at Everton find ourselves in is not familiar with where £24,000,000 last year alone is going to. ( Bill, “Look, we have just done a document to the bank which says you can’t stop the football club from trading…do you not think the bank doesn’t ask me every week how we’re doing with the sale? They’re ------g desperate. So what I’ve told them is ‘don’t kill us this season’ )



Simon, “Just going back to the finances, this conversation has gone all over the place…..you were saying before that you can account for where the money has gone…" Bill, “I didn’t say that, what I said was the accounts are there" Simon, “Yeah, I know and to be honest I don’t think that anyone is taking a salary out or anything, but one of the things that people are scratching their heads about is this rise in other operating costs, it’s gone from…" Mark, “It’s gone to £24m so there’s twenty odd million there that Evertonians don’t know about… what’s that’s going on; that’s why we’ve come here, we’ve asked Robert to fill us in…" Bill, “When you say other operating costs what do you mean?" Simon, “That’s what it says in the accounts, other operating costs" Mark, “That’s why there’s so much confusion, they’ve steadily risen…." Bill, “I’m sure… whatever accounts you get they go through the most stringent structure imaginable; It’s just a heading, what’s the heading again?" Mark & Simon, “Other operating Costs" Bill, “And how much is it?" Mark, “£24m" Simon, “And that has steadily risen over the…" Bill, “Hold on hold on; then you haven’t got the £53m for the players? Hold on, fifty three plus twenty four, well that leaves you four or five for the other………are these other operating costs David? I don’t know, I have no idea"

Mark “Well, surely as Chairman you should be aware what these other operating costs are?" Bill, “No, absolutely not, and why should I? I can’t break down the accounts for you…"
