Everton’s financial situation is making things difficult at Goodison Park.
In an interview with GIVEMESPORT, journalist Paul Brown updated readers on Sean Dyche’s future while expressing concern about Everton’s’so, so poor’ financial situation at Goodison Park.
The Toffees are struggling in the Premier League so far this season and there’s been calls for the manager to be removed from his position.
Everton news – Latest
With one victory in their first seven games, Everton is currently sitting in 16th place in the Premier League standings. It was a disaster when they lost to Luton Town at home most recently, and Rob Edwards’ team won at Goodison Park for the first time this season. Everton had just defeated Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup and had just defeated Brentford away in the English premier league, but they were unable to capitalize on that momentum against Luton.
Everton just announced that they had struck an agreement with 777 Partners to acquire Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% ownership position in the club, but there is a lot going on behind the scenes at Goodison Park. Since the takeover hasn’t been formalized, it’s unclear who would decide whether to fire Dyche as manager given how difficult it has been for him to motivate his team this year. It is safe to state that Moshiri has failed in every appointment he has made thus far.
The vast amount of money Moshiri has spent was meant to support Everton in their push to compete towards the top of the Premier League, but the Toffees look set to be involved in their third relegation battle in a row.
Due to Everton’s precarious financial state, the Premier League has referred the Merseyside club’s suspected violation of the Profitability and Sustainability Rules to an independent commission. It begs the question of whether Everton can even afford to fire Dyche if the team’s results deteriorate over the coming weeks.
The situation is so, so bad behind the scenes at Goodison Park – Paul Brown
It’s tough for anyone at Goodison Park to make a significant adjustment until the takeover is resolved. At Everton, Moshiri played a significant role in making decisions, but the Iranian businessman has soured and plans to leave soon. Even though they attended the match against Luton on Saturday, which would have been a “unique experience,” journalist Brown told GIVEMESPORT, the potential new owners, 777 Partners, aren’t in their positions yet.
Brown has now claimed that Everton’s financial situation is so dire that they require a loan from 777 Partners in order to just stay up with their debt payments. The writer continues by saying that it’s uncertain how much money 777 Partners are ready to invest in the club beyond the necessities, making it tough to determine how secure Dyche’s job is right now. He replied in response to GIVEMESPORT…
“The situation is so, so bad behind the scenes that they are needing loan money from this potential buyer just to keep paying the bills essentially. So I think it will depend really, how much money 777 are willing to put into the club and how much is left for things like that. That will decide how safe Dyche is. Until those questions are answered, we can’t really say.”
Will Sean Dyche be sacked as Everton manager in the near future?
In the end, Goodison Park’s performance on the field simply isn’t good enough, and losing to Luton at home is unacceptable. However, there is a claim that Dyche is currently experiencing some bad luck because his team has created a lot of opportunities but hasn’t been able to take advantage of them. Everton has missed more significant opportunities than any other team in the Premier League thus far this season—18, according to FotMob.
Although Dyche said that Everton dominated the game against Luton, Goodison Park spectators are only interested in outcomes.
“It’s not a terrible performance. You look at the stats, and it’s a dominant performance in many ways, but it’s a team mentality. It’s a killer instinct that teams have. When we come away from that, we don’t look as potent, and we don’t look as strong.”
