Paddy Power Pays Out on Everton’s Relegation, but Can They Turn It Around?
The Premier League season has only just begun, but it’s already got off to a rocky start for several teams. And, unfortunately for Everton, things aren’t looking up anytime soon. Paddy Power, a leading betting company, has already paid out on bets for the Toffees to be relegated at the end of the season.
As we all know, Everton’s start to the campaign has been nothing short of disastrous. They’ve lost their opening two games, conceding a staggering seven goals in the process. Their latest defeat to Spurs was particularly brutal, with Yves Bissouma, Son Heung-min, and Cristian Romero all finding the back of the net.
But are things as bleak as they seem? According to Sean Dyche, the Toffees’ manager, the team is unlikely to make any significant signings before the transfer window closes due to financial constraints. This could be a major blow to their chances of turning things around.
However, not everyone is writing off Everton just yet. Paul Merson, a former Premier League player and current pundit, believes the Toffees will stay up. "I don’t see them going down," he told Sky Sports. "The thing with them is they’ll never change their game, so they’ll keep playing the same way."
Merson’s point is an interesting one. Everton have a distinct style of play under Dyche, which has served them well in the past. But, as he pointed out, teams that struggle tend to change their approach, which can be a recipe for disaster.
So, can Everton turn things around? It’s certainly possible, but they’ll need to start picking up some points soon. With a tough run of fixtures ahead, it’s hard to see them getting out of this rut anytime soon.
