Frank Lampard to get boost money can't buy after week of Everton turmoil

The fans have spoken and this afternoon Everton supporters will do what they do best: Give everything in support of the team they love.

Few weeks can have been as turbulent as this one and, unfortunately, at the moment it seems the drama surrounding this fine club simply will not stop. From a billionaire's spontaneous radio interview to a lack of activity in the transfer market to poignant resignations from fan bodies, Goodison Park is in the eye of one hell of a storm.

But despite this, despite the concern and despite the fear of another gruelling relegation fight, supporters will once again line the tight residential streets of L4 to welcome the players to the place many see as their true home. For this, Everton fans need to be applauded. Just like they deserve every plaudit for selling out 9,500 seats at Old Trafford just days after Christmas, during a cost of living crisis and with the form book against them. I was there at Manchester United earlier this month and the strength of support for those in Blue was astounding.
