Everton worried over Champions League cash

With UEFA on the brink of making a decision on Liverpool’s chances of defending the European Cup, cross-city rivals Everton have made it clear they would object to missing out financially from whatever decision is made.

Everton – who support Liverpool’s right to defend the trophy they won last month in Istanbul – fear that if Liverpool are added to the competition as a fifth English club, then the Barclays Premiership’s other entrants could suffer by a diluting of TV revenue.
