Djeidi Gassama, Anthony Musaba and Academy Product’s Caelan-Kole Cadamarteri are the son of former Everton favourite Danny, all sold to raise funds, but the issues continue.<\/p>\n

The North Stand in Hillsboro has been criticised by health and safety directors, and season ticket holders have not yet been notified to the location they will relocate for the campaign’s first home fixture.<\/p>\n
