According to the report by the Liverpool Echo, the Toffees earned around £3 million in total for having the Angry Birds logo on their shirt sleeves for a three-year period.
So, when the news was shared to Twitter that the talks had halted (via @EvertonNewsFeed), fans continued airing their reactions.

What do we think?
As can be seen in these responses from Everton supporters, they are generally pretty pleased that Angry Birds will no longer have their logo on the club’s kits.
However, £3 million in revenue over three years (per Liverpool Echo) for a logo on the sleeve of a shirt is not to be sniffed at, in fairness.
