thing is, how do you know that there is not a fan out there that has the money or has access to contacts who can raise that money, thats why the fans DO deserve to know what the club asking price is, BK and his cronies have had 12 years to do this and failed miserably at it, so they need to start thinking outside the box a bit now
all this stuff about money going to service debt, well thats debt that they have put the club into, because they have not got the resources to run the club in the first place
and Pax, you point out something called "other operating costs" well that is one of the most important things imo, like you say it could be tax or legal, or even backhanders the way football is these days,
and Matt, you mention their achievements? do me a fucking favour please god, building a team lol, we have a good team, but thats it, its good, and its threadbare, and you want to praise them for bringing Moyes in lol? BK wanted to bring Megson in, it was Smith who told him about Moyes and convinced him it was the way to go, they can't take any credit for Moyes, and whilst we might have better sponsorship deals compared to the past, they are lame deals compared to the teams around us.
this is the last thing im posting about all this, so if people want to respond, you are not going to get one back, im fed up now, and im going to go watch Brighton next season(they are my local team) i wish Everton well next season, but until there is massive changes at the club(that does not mean the leaving of BK) we are on a slippery slope to nowhere.
cheers guys
