Kevin Campbell has had a go at Everton's board fro not acting sooner to avert the current relegation battle.
Campbell said: "Any club that signs new players gets a lift and that's what's been lacking here over the years.
"We've let players go but we haven't been making the big signings the other way. A club as wonderful as this should be adding to those signings so we have a strong squad, because that's what it's all about."
Campbell added that he thinks the board has been reacting to difficult situations rather than trying to avoid them in the first place.
"Earlier in the season we found ourselves at the top or near the top and that's when we should have made additions to keep that buzz going," he added.
"Obviously there are problems why we haven't done that but as far as I'm concerned if we can do it now we could have done it earlier in the season and maybe we wouldn't have found ourselves in such a dog fight at the bottom."
I'm all for democracy, and as club captain Campbell is entitled to his opinion, but i'm not so sure that this is the most constructive thing to say at the moment.
