Baron Grantchester is not a member of the club's board of directors. The board comprises Bill Kenwright, Jon Woods, Robert Earl and Robert Elstone. The first three own around 68% of the shares between them. The remaining 32% are held by various other shareholders. I'm not sure how many shares - if any - are still held by Baron Grantchester, but, as he's not on the board, I don't think he has any obligation to invest.

Im not sure about how many shares he got sid, just heard same thing bout it off a few older blues (50s-60s) .

{Ed001's Note - Grantchester is definitely one of the major shareholders, along with Earl and Elstone. Those 3 have the biggest amounts of shares, unless he has been selling them within the last few months, but I have not heard anything to suggest there have been any sold.}

The Liverpool Echo reported the following at the end of last year when the American takeover was mooted.

"Everton chairman Bill Kenwright is currently the club’s main shareholder, owning just over a quarter of the Blues with 9,044 shares.
That 26% is closely followed by US-based businessman Robert Earl, who owns his equity in the club through BCR Sports in the British Virgin Islands.
The former Hard Rock cafe president, and Planet Hollywood founder, bought his shares from Paul Gregg and his family in 2006, and now has 8,146 of them, equivalent to 23%.
Next comes boyhood fan and computer entertainment boss Jon Woods, with 6,622 shares, or 19%, who is said to live 40 minutes from Goodison Park.
The businessman has a personal legacy with the Blues, with one of his ancestors loaning Everton £1,000 in 1892 to build the original stadium stand.
Lord Grantchester, the grandson of Sir John Moores, has 2,773 shares (8.5%) while Arthur Abercromby, a former director and investor in True Blue Holdings - who took the majority shareholding of Everton in 2000 when Kenwright’s consortium took over from predecessor Peter Johnson - owns 1,935 shares (5.5%) .
Former Everton chairman Sir Philip Carter, who died, aged 87, in April, had owned 714 shares, around two per cent, with Clifford Finch, Johnson’s commercial director, registered with 250, just 0.6%.
Keith Tamlin, Nigel Holland, Jimmy Mulville have 120, 115 and 115 shares respectively. The remaining 4,600 are held by minor shareholders.
Many of those own between one and five.
True Blue Holdings was dissolved in 2004 after Everton’s plans to move from Goodison to King’s Dock ended.
The current market value of an Everton share is £1,350, with people able to buy one by either approaching a stockbroking company or through a member of the club itself. "

Ed001: are you sure that Elstone is one of the major shareholders?

{Ed001's Note - no, my mistake I meant the 3 he mentioned are the major shareholders, except for Elstone, with Grantchester being the other major shareholder. Sorry I should have checked back, some of the typing didn't come through and I never read it back to remove errors.}
