Season › 2011-12 › News Horne: Asking price is too high Lyndon Lloyd , 10 December, 70comments | Jump to most recent Ex-Everton midfielder Barry Horne says that if Bill Kenwright's asking price is anywhere near the £150m quoted recently by Keith Harris then it's too high. In his role as a regular expert summariser in the commentary box for Premier League games, Horne has often expressed his sympathy for Kenwright but in an article for the Echo this weekend the Welshman spells out the realities of the the Blues' plight. "Although I always look for the positive about every aspect of the club, there is definitely a sense that we are now caught up in a downward spiral," Horne writes. "The Blues are still losing £5m a year which is not an attractive proposition for anyone wanting to invest in the club. "That is the first clue why Everton have not been able to find a buyer and the second is — on the back of Keith Harris recently saying the club would look to sell for around £150m — it must be overpriced. "In the past I have stuck up for Bill Kenwright and Robert Elstone but the only thing you can do to get someone to buy what you are selling is by dropping your price."
