Everton officials have addressed concerns over club finances, the January transfer window and who really makes the decisions that define its direction.
As the club hurtled into crisis in January, Everton committed to engaging with the club's Fan Advisory Board as supporters raised issues around transparency and communication. Those fears, along with frustration over the lack of signings and the performance of Everton on and off the pitch over recent years, were clear in the queries that emerged from a series of public hearings that formed part of the process.
A 13-page document has now been published in response, with the club providing answers over issues ranging from the transfer window to whether sanctioned billionaire Alisher Usmanov now has any “financial interest” in the club and if Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour sounded out Everton over a deal first.
