Just browsing as you do about Everton missing out on keeper Andy Lonergan to Leeds for just 150k.I knew of Everton lack of fund's but never figured they were that bad.Anyway it would appear that they expected Mucha to move on which he has not.Hence no need to buy the above Andy Lonergan,this in turn made me curious as to why they are in the state they are in general.After reading various threads about it I decided to check on the chairman's info via wiki and well, look's like someone being having a laugh with it as seen below...

Bill Kenwright CBE (born 4 September 1945, in Liverpool, Merseyside, England) is a leading West End theatre producer.
He is also the Chairman of Everton Football Club, an English professional football club from the city of Liverpool.
He attended Booker Avenue County Primary School, and then Liverpool Institute High School from 1957 to 1964 and appeared in school productions (including Shylock in The Merchant of Venice) on the stage in the Mount St. building (predecessor to LIPA). He was also treasurer of the Christian Union at school.
In 2007 Kenwright was a judge in the BBC1 television series "Any Dream Will Do." In 2009 he received a Guiness world record for "the biggest collection of wagon wheels". In May 2011 Kenwright appeared on childrens tv show "Blue Peter" and helped presenters Andy and Helen to make a replica of his beloved Evertons Goodison Park using old fairy liquid bottles and an empty 36 box of walkers crisps. It is believed that the money generated from Kenwrights tv appearance with the BBC helped to fund his undisclosed bid for Wigans pacey winger Charles N'Zogbia in July 2011. The bid wasn't officially submitted to Wigan owner Dave Whelan however as it was revealed the bid was made up of a mere 50p upfront and a twix.
Bill Is currently working on his Latest Production, Everton FC. Showing how to destroy a football club in the space of 10 years. As of July 2011 Suntan Bob, Ian (trust me) Ross and Tom Caff, have all been signed up, Bill is talks with Charles Notsigninhere, to star as himself in the show. Kenwright has already stated, that he has plans for a sequel to Everton FC, with 'Watch this Space'. The production is said to cost £9.5 million.
However it should be noted that this proposed production failed even to sell out a 20% ticket pre-sale, the theory as to why, suggests that no one is really interested in supporting the club in any sort of economic way - especially since the fall from grace of the cult phenomenon "The Yak" and the supporters lack of creativity in generating a new chant (and the sense of paranoia that raising a players status to "chant worthy" could easily result in said player leaving the club, a term which has been coined 'Rooney-itis-Lid'). Analysts predict the club is on the verge of taking up its rightful place in the Championship, reports suggest this could be done as early as the 2012/13 season.
(I appreciate wiki ain't super solid but usually people tweak one maybe two lines,ie player xyz on his way for x amount but the above is...)
