Anfield Split - To Buy or Not to Buy?

The Everton Committee called a meeting on 12 October 1891 to discuss the Club's tenancy. George Mahon proposed that Everton should tell Houlding they were quitting Anfield — this was rejected. It was agreed that a Special Committee should investigate the possibility of renting or buying Anfield and John Orrell's land. A letter from Houlding was read giving Everton notice to leave Anfield on 30 April 1892.
