Beckford

Good point Yeboah, they made 2.5 million on Beckford.

The money is going on trying to ervice their already crippling debt.

Whats so hard to understand about that?

service even

Mattyp.
Where has their debt come from though?
I can understand if they went out & bought a player like their cousins have across Stanley Park in Andy Carroll (35 Mil)

They've been in the top flight season after season, longer than the majority of the others, they still get decent crowds compared to the rest of the clubs outside of the top 5 & they haven't signed any major players on big transfer fees since they were challenging for the title.

Lets face it , its all down to Kenwright.

They should not be strapped for cash.

Leeds South - you are either taking the mick or don' watch footy that much. Here is a link to one of the many articles written about there finances.

Tony.
Don't you think its strange that a club like Everton who aren't renowed to commit to huge transfers fees, have achieved regular top 6 finishes evey season, draw in good crowds, play in Europe often, have reached domestic finals yet they have no money?

Even without outside investment they should be able to hold their own.

Sorry but it all smells a little fishy to me.

Heitinga 7m, Fellini 15m, Yakubu 11.25m, Jageila 4m, Johnson 8.6m and Piennar 2m. Thats 48m in the last 5 years so although not exactly Man City they have still spent. They've received £25.5m in transfer fees during the same last 5 years and the majority of that has been this summer. I'm not quite sure where this myth of Moyes working to a tight budget has come from when there's plenty of teams working with a net profit from transfers.

Anyone paying £25k to Beckford must be crazy so multiply that by 25and you can see why they have no funds

Who gives a chuff about the finances of Everton FC?
