Neville Southall is certainly not afraid to speak his mind about the current state at Everton.

Huge change is heading Everton’s way this summer and it is not all going to be to the liking of those on Merseyside.

Southall has already slammed Jordan Pickford as ‘average’ despite being one of the real shining lights in this Everton side.

In complete contrast, Jamie Carragher has said Pickford has been Everton’s best player this season.

The stadium change is going to see Everton leave behind their historic home in Goodison Park for Bramley-Moore Dock.

Everton have exciting Goodison Park Finale plans in place for Sunday, but Southall has admitted he is set to reject what the Friedkins have now offered him.

Neville Southall to reject Goodison Park offer at Everton

Duncan Ferguson will attend Goodison Park’s Finale on Sunday as Everton bid farewell to the Old Lady against Southampton.

A number of Everton legends are expected to be recognised following the game for their contributions to the club’s history.

Southall has confirmed he will be in attendance on Sunday, but he may not take up The Friedkin Group’s offer to enter the pitch after full time.

Taking to social media, Southall said: ‘Be at the game Sunday. Going on pitch may be too much at moment.’

Ahead of the stadium move, Southall has admitted he is worried the Friedkins may price out fans in their state-of-the-art new home.

And it now seems the Welsh legend may now not receive the recognition he deserves if he is not to take to the pitch after the game.

Everton’s Goodison Park Finale plans

Carlo Ancelotti has shared his Goodison Park farewell as he will not be in attendance due to his commitments with Real Madrid.

But those that are in the stands at Goodison are in store for a real treat.

Everton have released a commemorative shirt for the final game recognising the club’s history through the Cambridge blue pantone.

But the biggest part of the plans is the celebration to be held after the game.

The Old Lady has played such a big part of the club’s history and it deserves a send-off to recognise exactly that.
