But true. Based on seeing how Evertonians at large think about the club. Just as an example, a lot of people really thought Kirkby was a good idea for the club (it wasn't, only for the major shareholders and Tesco). I mean, how gullible do you have to be to believe that?
There have been several ridiculous bids, like the whole Alan Smith thing. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/2299557/everton-confirm-smith-interest
Or Moutinho. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-make-new-bid-joao-3478232(this article was also sure Smith was as good as signed)
I'm sure people with better memory could list more.
