"All for one, one for all, Everton's the team that plays beautiful football"
Where is the growth coming from? Revenue growth is so important to any business regardless of whether they’re at the top of their particular industry or market, or as I like to believe Everton should be, a challenger organisation with a view to dominating the market in future years.

In a recent tweet I highlighted the difference in levels of non-broadcasting income growth between Everton, Manchester United and Liverpool. I highlighted the fact that Liverpool FC have increased non-broadcasting income by £140 million (2016/17 accounts) in the 12 years since 2005, and Manchester United a staggering £293 million.

Financially, at least, whilst there are large challenges ahead, it looks like we are in extremely capable hands, working our resources and credit facilities […]

It is widely accepted (and first reported here) that an iconic stadium designed by Dan Meis is […]
One of the world’s greatest investors, Warren Buffett was once asked to define risk. There are a multitude of definitions, strategies and papers written on the subject, every Business School in the world including Harvard, devotes huge amounts of time and intellectual capital into defining, identifying and more often than not, negating risk.
