The Blue Union coalition of Everton FC supporters’ groups is planning a protest march outside Goodison Park before Saturday’s game against Aston Villa.    The coalition has reiterated its call for Bill Kenwright, the chairman and majority shareholder, to sell up and leave.   After another transfer window that produced little excitement with just three players coming in on loan, a growing proportion of fans is concerned that the club is stagnating under his leadership.

The group has emphasised that this is not just a ‘Kenwright out’ campaign.  It wants the sale of the football club taken out of Kenwright’s hands after his long and fruitless search for a buyer.   What they have in mind is something like the arrangement made at Liverpool where Martin Broughton was appointed as independent chairman with the task of overseeing the sales process.
