'Picking at the carcass' - Everton accounts leave supporters furious as Farhad Moshiri point made

Everton's latest accounts have been published for the past 12 months - and they paint a troubling picture for Blues fans in our comments section. The club has recorded a loss of £89.1 million in the period, with rising wages, commercial falls, and payoffs contributing to Everton's worries.

There was a £15.8m fall in sponsorship, advertising and merchandising income - a figure largely influenced by the club taking the proactive decision to suspend its sponsorship deals with the Alisher Usmanov-linked companies following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The sale of Anthony Gordon to Newcastle United for £40 million helped, but not nearly enough to plug the gap in the finances, and the club remains under the scrutiny of Profit and Sustainability Rules.

It's difficult reading for commenter Nogslah, who writes: "Moshiri is supposedly an accountant!! He couldn't cook an omelette, never mind the books. On another issue, where were the PL's fit and proper owner rules to stop him taking over? It's glaringly obvious all 'his' money is really Usmanov's. Way to go, due diligence there hey.”

User Fibonacci says that the fans' anger should be aimed at the right places: “I wonder if the 'you don’t know what you’re doing' mob of ours will now finally turn their rage and hatred to where the blame should have always been directed; the board and owners?”

The summer departures of boardroom officials such as chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale, finance director Grant Ingles and non-executive director Graeme Sharp led to payouts of £3.2 million. Kevinthegerbil
