Everton
Over the summer David Moyes made it clear that he wasn’t happy with the funds that Everton was giving him. The end result has seen Everton make one key signing in the form of Louis Saha, who is yet to appear for the Merseyside club.

If you’re not familiar with the butterfly effect, chances are it’ll amaze you that such a theory exists. The theory explains that the world’s movement is all dependent on something else. For instance, a car braking on a highway in Manchester might slow down traffic all the way down in London. The theory gets its name based on the notion that a butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the world could alter the atmospheric movement and shift the path of a tornado on the other side of the …
