Why should fans know what goes on behind the scenes?
We support what happens on the pitch. We pay for a product. We aren't giving Everton FC our money for free. In return for entrance fees, you get to watch a game of football. It's just the same as supporting a pop group. If you buy a T-shirt, you get a T-shirt for your money, just like you would get a tour T-shirt, or buy a cd. Everton are a business, and they have a product that is in demand. If they decide enough is enough, and decide to cease trading (FA rules permitting) you'll soon see who 'owns' the club. If the board want to, they can sell Baines, Fellaini, Jagielka, and anybody else. They paid for them. Not us. Fans pay to watch the game. Like any business, our custom is essential, but like any business, it's none of our business what happens behind the scenes.
