LIVERPOOL DISTRICT AND NOTES
Athletic News - Monday 13 July 1891

While matters are quiet up Everton way.  A back, however, will be wanted, and, what is more, will have to be got, but there is yet a couple of months.  For the information of visiting clubs I may mention that the matter of furnishing a dressing-room on the Everton ground is left over. There is not a club anywhere more desirous of providing comfortable quarters than Everton but at present the committee cannot see their way to expend a large amount on a suitable place.  A small amount would only be an insult to visitors and a reproach to the club.  The sense of the members at the annual meeting was that such accommodation should be provided and a scheme was submitted to the last committee meeting,.  This would cost 500 with the usual extras, and in view of the unsatisfactory position of the club in regard to leasing the ground, several members would not entertain the expenditure for a moment, and quite right too.  To expend 500 on a dressing room at present is nonsense.  I believe the club are poachers now to the extent of eight yards, and if this was taken from them, what use would the remainder be for football purposes?  Unless the adjoining land can be purchased, it is no use erecting dressing rooms.

CHANGES THE EVERTON TEAM.
Dundee Evening Telegraph - Wednesday 29 July 1891
We (Sporting Chronicle) hear on good authority that Doyle, of Everton F.C., decided to be reinstated as an amateur by the Scottish Football Association, in order that might play for the Celtic F.C., who have been anxious to secure his services for some time. Doyle has been somewhat of a “roamer," for, after playing with East Stirlingshire, he joined the Sunderland team, and from went to Grimsby. While at the latter place he was engaged by the Bolton Wanderers, and during the summer months left them and threw in his lot with Everton. If the report is true, and we have every reason to think so, his loss will be severely felt. J. Hannah, the late captain, and Doyle's partner at full back, has also returned to Scotland. In addition to Doyle, we hear that Brady, who reinstated some weeks ago, and afterwards denied that had made application, has decided to join the Celts, and this will further weaken the Everton team. The only cause for surprise how the Celtic F.C.. an amateur" organisation, can induce men like Doyle and Brady—who are in receipt over £3 per week from the Everton Club—to play for nothing.
