“And a warm applause fromt he Anfield crowd as this 216th Merseyside Derby gets underway, with referee Steven Gerrard bringing a start to proceedings”

Should’ve been one of the all-time great England managers, but the incompetent FA fucked it up royally. I think we’d have won something if we’d stick with Tel. He was clearly way ahead of his time.

Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United are also part of multi-club owenership setups.

That’s not what the PL’ panel said in their report.

The more clear-cut thing with the West Ham case is that it was to do with specific players who played in games and influenced outcomes. When Everton have been charged due to things like incorrectly attributing interest payments on a loan to build their stadium, it’s not such a strong case for them having gained a sporting advantage which influenced results to the point that teams were relegated unfairly.

The crazy thing is that if the club has taken a loan for the stadium from a bank, they’d be fine. But because they took it from the owner, they’re fucked.

It’s fucking stupid.

Everton have some good Canadi connections. Sam Chedgzoy olayeeedd 279 times for Everton before emigrating to Canada and playing for Montreal Casteel for 9 years. He’s in the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame and forced a change in the rules of the game when he scored by dribbling directly from a corner kick.

Tomasz Radzinski played 100 times for Everton and got 46 caps for Canada.

Everton is also a club with a rich and long history and there’s never a dull moment with Everton.

Great players are always going to be under-appreciated by people who never saw them play at the time. The likes of Nedved, Romario, Kaka, Suker, Sammer, Hagi, and Stoichkov are also players that don’t get enough credit these days. But that’s just the passage of time for you.
