Elstone says Everton ploughing funds into club facilities

Everton chief Robert Elstone has revealed the club is actively investing in improving facilities.

Elstone says the club is now in a position to plough their cash into different areas of the club.

"We're investing around £2.5m in Goodison around the close season. On floodlights, fan-related facilities, lounges and media facilities," Elstone told the Liverpool Echo.

"There are plans to extend Finch Farm. Roberto has mentioned the players' accommodation which we are pushing.

"We've never had that choice in the past because we used to squeeze the orange so hard in terms of supporting the manager in buying players that it was bone dry by the time it comes back to me.

"It's less so now - not to say we'd never prioritise supporting Roberto and the first team.

"Now we can support matchday activities, or our marketing and community work. We have that option now."
