    Good.

    They are a vile example of a football club.

    Hope Man Ushited follows them in suit.

    Ive always had a wee bit of a soft spot for them since the great team of the late 60s early 70s (yes, the one we beat at Hampden).

    Loved Bremner and Eddie Gray and Johnny Giles and Peter Lorimer etc.

    Everton are probably one of the best run teams in the league.

    Don't particularly like them but they are a genuine sleeping giant in England. Massive support and kinda like a small United in the sense that they have supporters club's/group's all over England. From all over Yorkshire (obviously), Donny whites to Midlands whites, London whites to Bristol/Gloucester as well i'm sure..

    Could name a majority of side's in the top flight that don't have that kind of pull but * them..

    Considering their debts of near on £30million and they now seem to be turning a profit it don't say much about the state of the finances of clubs in that league.

    Walter Smith put them £80million in debt. I wonder where he learned that? :smiley-laughing002:

    Leeds United are facing a backlash from fans after forcing those buying tickets in the South Stand to pay for food and drink, whether they want it or not.

    It has been dubbed the ‘pie-tax’ by supporters, with fans being made to pay an additional £5 over the previously announced price of a ticket. The ticket can then be redeemed for hot food and a drink.

    None of these price increases have been publicised by the club at any point, Fans of the club also emailed Leeds over a month ago to find out the reason behind the decision and have not received a reply.

    I think I read somewhere that Everton were the only club to consistently finish higher in the epl then their wage bill would suggest they should in these recent years of the TV money gravy train.
