Here's nother thought. I think part of Everton's lack of global appeal is their name. So how about this:
- Everton qualify for CL
- This attracts a buyer
- Buyer comes in and changes name from Everton to Liverpool United
- The name portrays Everton as 'the people's club' for the whole city
- It also muddles the identity of LFC, especially globally
- With Liverpool United being the more 'hungry' entity, in contrast to LFC which is perceived as bogged down due to ghosts od past gloeies, Liverpool United go on to bigger things
Is that a totally cloud cuckoo land scenario?
