Being able to afford players and staff doesn’t seem to compute with Everton. Of course, they would also have to pay off Dyche as well give the new guy a nice contract.
Totally agree with @RedWhippet. Dyche is made for Everton. They would be fools to offload him, but it wouldn’t be the first time they made a bad decision.
Not to mention Spurs were a team who were finishing in and around the CL places at the time and had a decent squad.
Everton meanwhile are in their second relegation scrap in the past two seasons that is going down to the wire. Who knows what impact the stadium, the financing and any potential punishment from the Premier League could have on their ability to actually improve a pretty poor team to avoid being in the same position next season.
It’s not like they’re going to be able to fleece someone of £40m for Anthony Gordon every year. Start selling the likes of Pickford or Onana or Calvert-Lewin to raise some transfer funds and you’re relying on one of the worst clubs at buying players finding decent replacements for their best ones.
They can only circle the drain so many times before they eventually get pulled down. Finishing the stadium may bring them some additional revenue in the future but unless the team on the pitch improves and they stop the revolving door of underwhelming managers (Carlo and Rafa aside) then they could find themselves gone before the stadium is finished. Hell they could find themselves gone this weekend and that would surely spell a mass exodus of players and completely change the types of players they could go after to replace them.
Not sure about that. I think Elland Road could depending on how Leeds perform. If they stink the place out the Leeds crowd could turn as toxic as the blueshite
I have been told by a reliable source, Merseyside Police have cancelled all rest days on Sunday. There’s only one reason for them to do that this weekend.
The Bitters’ new song…with apologies to Queen:
We are the champions of the unflushables
And we’ve kept on lucking it at the end
We are the champions
We are the unflushables
Always the last escape
'Cause we are the champions of our World
