    Looking to t ie future, I am determ!ned that everythingpossible shou:d be done to ensure the future of EvertonFootball ClUb. not only as a leading contender for hcnours inthe domestic game. but asa majorpower in Europeanfootball. This wiU obviously take timet but r have made myintentions clear by the injection of 1OM capital, which ha senabled the Manager to purchase new players at the netcost of 5.6M to date, with a view to improving the quality of T l w , . , ~ E A d " Goc*DnPwkthe squad. As and when top quality players becomeavailable, I intend that Everton Football Club should be in a posit ion to compete for them.

    -,:.To this end, I intend to fully deveiop the commercial side of the Club, which together with8 s team on me field wUI ensure tt.at are generated to enable us toprogress towards the ultimate success. which th e board. staff. players and supporters area n ~ ~ i n g .

    It is also Frf intention to concentrate additional resources on the d nt of youngplayerS. The recent success of David Unsworth both in our own first team. and with theEngiand Under 21 team has given a great deal of pleasure to all Of us. It is alwayssomething special When a youngster who has been with th e Club from his $Chbreaks through.. The Club do have an exciting squad of youngsters an d we must ensurethey are gNen every opportunity to fulfil their promise.

    Ftnally may I take this to thank th e chief executiYe Jim G f whoretires at the end of the year. the board. manager. players and all memberS of staff for theirsupport.

    The donations received from th e various ParkPromotions lotteries showed a welcome improvement from4.779 to 41.079. As a result of the National Lottery,increased -tioo does continue to place a questionmark against the n.1ure of these schemes..

    NEe continue to be our major sponsors. The relationshipis now one of the running in football. and we atevery appreciative of their continuing magnificent support andco.aperation. Umbro remain our kit sponsors and suppliers.and we took torwartt to extending our relationshipwith themin the futore.

    On 17th september 1994 the Rt. Hon. David Hunt M together with representatives from The Footbali Trust..opened the new Park End Stand, which is a splendiddevelopment and ensures thatGoodison Park continues tobe one of the major football stadia ip .he U ~ K . We are verygrateful to The Football Trust tor their fjnancjaJ . ce,which h&s ensured that all Clubs are able to undertakeschemes of this nature and continue the improvements togrOCJnds, which have been a welcome development overrecent years. We witl be continuing to invest in the comingyears, both ~ Improve facilities for our supporters and togenerate additional income from corporate hospitality andsimilar sources.
