“The club’s probably not worth it. Trying to value a football club is an absolute nightmare. Could these other potential bidders be taking the view that: why not let Everton go into administration? Take another points deduction.
“If Everton get a couple of decent results, then let the club go into administration, and take the points deduction while staying in the Premier League. People are playing 4D chess here.”
