Still seeking that elusive buyer...
Bill Kenwright talks frankly to Christian Purslow about Everton finances and the continual search for a buyer what the Chairman believes is an almost impossible financial climate.

Surmising that the Club are squeezing every last penny out of their resources, Purslow presses Kenwright on the issue of ticket prices and the Chairman insists that raising prices to a level more in line with the more moneyed clubs in the Premier League is not something he would consider.

While maintaining his desperation to sell the club to someone with money, Kenwright explains his reluctance to sell to in a leveraged buy-out, and boasts about a great personal relationship with the bankers who are now twisting the screws. Purslow concludes that finding the right buyer who fits the required profile is highly unlikely given current global ecumenic conditions and the Chairman's commitment to finding the perfect buyer.

Bill believes that Evertonians are perhaps better off with him than anyone else until this elusive buyer appears, and he finishes up with a gushing contrast between Tevez and Arteta on the subject of 'spirit':

"Something like that could never happen at Everton".
