What Everton need most from new owners are some smarts 

We are keen to move off the sport business pages, to move away from ownership issues, sanctions issues, PSR issues and unsuitable, unqualified suitors.

"For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour." - Mary Kay Ash.

Everton Football Club - a sporting institution known around the world, not currently for being the most successful, although nine English League titles keeps us as the fifth most successful league team in history. It's a position unlikely to go up or down for many years to come, but if nothing else, it stands for our staying power. We may not be able to hold a 2-0 lead with any conviction, but staying in the top division, no one does it better, no one quite flirts with jeopardy like a Moshiri-led Everton.
