THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE EVERTON FOOTBALL
CLUB COMPANY LIMITED ISSUE THIS STATEMENT TO-
DAY, THE 27TH FEBRUARY, 1956 :-
Mr. Britton is reported in the Press and on
Television as denying the Everton Board's statement
that he confronted the Board at their meeting last
Friday, the 24th February, with a demand for forty
years security of tenure of the residence belonging to
the Everton Football club which he occupies. In view
of this, and as a matter of principle, the Board feel
constrained to hand to the Press this photograph of
the actual document which Mr. Britton presented to the
Board at that meeting. This document was to be
signed on behalf of the Board over the 6d. stamps {to be value
of 6d} already affixed thereto, and Mr. Britton gave the
Board half an hour in which to accede to his demands.
The photograph speaks for itself, and
confirms the Board's earlier statement.
