Tax free income too. However nothing illegal from the lenders viewpoint. Questions are for the club's directors: did Everton really need these loans? If yes, could Everton not get better terms (lower rates) elsewhere? Can they prove they tried? Eric Myles 2 Posted 01/12/2015 at 17:18:47 And do we really need to increase the loan amounts every season when we receive more and more money in income?
