Surely if TFG were asset stripping Everton then the sale of Harrison Armstrong would have been pushed through nevertheless, and James Garner would be at Chelsea today? #EFC

Careful what you wish for Blues with new owners. Already seen what kind of shenanigans 777 have gotten into. #EFC

And where they go from here, my hunch is they won’t be around for long, I don’t see them having an appetite for the investment needed to return us to the top table. I just hope any change is for the better, and without drama, let’s see, hold onto your hats Toffees! 🧢
