Outspoken Red Graeme Souness on the current situation at Everton:

“I have enormous sympathy for Everton fans, having lived in the city for seven years as a player. I know the big and emotional support that Everton supporters carry for the football club. Everton historically are a great football club and it’s sad to see the current situation, I really mean that.

People think I’m a Liverpool man, but there should be two great clubs in Merseyside, and it’s just come about by a new owner believing he knew about football and listening to the wrong people and have not bought very well.”

Sheffield Wednesday are showing interest in Everton forward Tom Cannon amid the Owls’ aim to strengthen their squad, even though the player was recently spotted in Preston where he was on loan last season. [Inside Futbol]
