I wasn't granted a vote, because my last Everton season ticket was bought 30 years ago. But I'm still not sure how I would have voted even if I did have one. Because while the leaving of Liverpool concerns me, I still haven't seen any other alternative which is, to borrow Keith Wyness' favourite catchphrase "deliverable." The Scotland Road Loop has huge emotional appeal, but doesn't stack up financially. The opportunity to stay in the city was passed up several years ago when the King's Dock crumbled (amidst much rejoicing from a strident Goodison For-Everton campaign if you recall). The latest campaigners, KEIOC, have fought a commendable - if outspoken - campaign. But the silent majority have carried the day. Now the Blues board must act on that vote. More than a decade ago 86 per cent of Evertonians gave Peter Johnson a mandate to move. It didn’t happen. Evertonians have given the guardians of their beloved football club a second chance. It is a huge responsibility - and this time the Blues must not welch on the promise. There are still questions to be answered, details to be explained. But I dearly hope it can be done together. Civil war produces widespread casualties – and with every other area of Everton Football Club showing signs of revival, it would be tragic if their fans were now at each other’s throats. Yakubu record just speaks for itself AIYEGBINI YAKUBU appears to be a footballer who inspires opinion - not all of it positive.
It’s been suggested by his oh so loyal Middlesbrough team-mates that he didn’t pull his weight towards the end of his Teesside career.
And it’s been pointed out that Yakubu failed to score in his last 12 games of last season and the last 16 of the season before.
So here’s another stat. Who is the second highest Premier League goalscorer after Thierry Henry over the past four seasons? Yes, that’s right. Aiyegbini Yakubu. |
