If they had played for Benitez he would have kept them up, but the fans were too bitter and the players too full of themselves to be told what they should be doing. I can see them going down, the ew decent players they have jumping ship, and them struggling to get back to the Prem!
If they go down they are neck deep in the brown stuff as the EFL unlike the PL will take action against clubs who breach their FFP rules and Everton due to their wage bill certainly would .
its their wage bill that is the killer and will also make it difficult to offload a bunch of them . They would need to drop their wages by at least 40% as far as i can make out .
Wonder if they had the foresight to instruct relegation clauses... doubt it since they were so reckless with their spending, clearly no foresight went into that!
I beleive a few of the players have clauses that they can leave if the club are relegated. Could get very messy for EFC.
Thing is look at that squad and who would actually be looking to sign? Richarlison DCL Gordon Pickford Doucoure Prob the only few that are of some kind of decent prem quality. Richarlison has poor attitude so getting rid of him prob be best thing for the club anyway. Not sure how you move on others like Ali, Iwobi, Gomes, Allen, Mina who are all prob earning huge wages.
I would argue the one worry for Everton is the fact Moshiri is bankrolling them ( so far it is thought to be approx £500-600m ) but he is also Chairman of the board of USM which is the sanctioned Usmanovs company . What happens if USM itself gets sanctioned as that is where a lot of Moshiris wealth comes from as he is a large shareholder .
Everton are going to survive if only by the skin of their teeth .Frank Lampard would no be their manager next season.
The Ladies team were promoted back to the WSL today. Hope they can keep the players this time instead of them being plundered by Man City Ladies.
No, scum are murderers, rapists, warlords, and things of that ilk Rivalry should imho be a bit of Bantz and respect on both sides I in no way would support Man Utd- they are not my team but to my knowledge they have never cheated how Leicester did Just an opinion I could make a case that some of you don’t understand how to take differing opinions to your own We don’t all have to agree - surely ?
I've no time for the childish names usually. Same as everton bitters calling us orcs. It is merely dehumanising so they can ramp up the hate for no reason bar find someone to target.
