We upset some of the Blue side of Merseyside recently by suggesting that their club would not be easy to sell. To redress the balance here are some comments by manager David Moyes. He admits that Liverpool may be the bigger brand but says that Everton are a steadier club and have much less debt than a lot of leading clubs.

Moyes is undoubtedly one of the shrewdest managers in contemporary football and his arguments are plausible. The general point I would make is that all clubs face a shortage of well funded buyers at the moment and prospective purchasers have a number of clubs they could choose from. Liverpool is expensive and high risk, but could bring big returns at least in terms of prestige. But another investor could find a club like Everton a more appealing prospect.
