Supporters of Everton have fumed following a revelation on players’ wages when in comparison to Liverpool star, Sadio Mane.
Earlier in the week, 90min released a graphic that showed that Mane was earning £100,000 a week (as per Spotrac) which led to fury over the Senegalese star earning the same as Theo Walcott, Morgan Schneiderlin and Gylfi Sigurdsson (per Spotrac).

A number of the players in the Everton lineup have been called into question by Everton fans in recent days following the weak performance against a second-string Liverpool side in the FA Cup Merseyside derby (as per Liverpool Echo).
With all three of the mentioned players coming under fire for their performances on the pitch, the Twitter post led supporters to continue their fume.
That’s Everton that is

What do we think?
While the facts may not be quite up to date due to Mane reportedly signing a £150,000-a-year-contract around 14 months ago (as per The Guardian), it is still staggering.
While those responsible for dishing out those hefty contracts have long since left the Toffees (per The Telegraph), fans are rightly asking questions of how that was allowed to happen.
