It is tempting to suggest that Todd Boehly, the man calmly detonating Chelsea as he turns them into his personal game of Football Manager, is the worst owner in British football.
But that would be to overlook the individual 'overseeing' the club who quietly slipped out their financial results on Friday, hoping that the world wouldn't notice.
The Friday bad news drop is a strategy Manchester City used when their spending was first putting them in breach of UEFA's spending rules but Everton's figures really were something else.
The few bleak paragraphs headed 'Going Concern' were a dagger to the heart of all those who love the dignity and history of this great club.
