Everton chairman Bill Kenwright admits the fans' anger over the state of the club has snuck up on him.
Fans will stage a protest march today.
And Kenwright told the Daily Mail: "If I left on Monday, would we have a penny more to our name on Tuesday? And that's what I don't understand. Where is this coming from? It used to be that every fan I met would say what a smashing club Everton was and what a great job David Moyes was doing.
"Now they ask, 'What the hell's going on at your place?' And I have to say I don't know, because nothing's really changed. We've never had money. I read a big letter in the local paper. 'Where's it all gone?' And I thought, 'It's in the accounts. It's there. There' s no conspiracy'.
"You know, I've sat with people who wanted to invest in the club and there was one guy, a very nice man, a businessman in Liverpool, and he listened for an hour and a half and finally, he said, 'Bill, I don't want to be you. I want to be able to take my kids to school in the morning'."
