Merseyside Police have revealed that no reports of 'threats or incidents' were made to them related to Everton prior to the club's game against Southampton on Saturday.
The club's board members, including the likes of chairman Bill Kenwright and non-executive director Graeme Sharp, stayed away from the game last weekend with Everton releasing a statement saying they were following the advice handed down by the authorities with the atmosphere surrounding the club becoming ever more sour.
It came as reports emerged alleging CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale was put in a headlock at a recent home game with threats towards her and Kenwright via email also reported.
