Everton Manager’s Shock Admission: Entire Squad Available for Transfer This Summer
In a surprise move, Everton manager Sean Dyche has revealed that his entire squad is up for sale this summer, pending a suitable offer. The Toffees have been dealing with a reported £300 million debt and financial issues, which has led to some unexpected departures and signings during the transfer window.
Despite avoiding relegation last season, Everton are looking to balance their books and reduce their wage bill. The club has made four signings so far, spending around £41 million, but has also had to let go of players like Amadou Onana, who joined Aston Villa for £50 million.
Dyche’s admission that the entire squad is available for transfer is a significant shock, especially considering the team’s poor run of form last season. Everton finished 15th in the Premier League, just avoiding relegation on the final day of the season.
But the manager’s comments suggest that the team is in a state of flux, with a potential takeover bid from John Textor, a Crystal Palace shareholder, hanging in the balance. The bid is complicated by Textor’s own ownership stake in Palace, with Premier League rules prohibiting the ownership of multiple clubs.
Dyche’s comments also hinted at a more significant overhaul of the squad, with the manager stating that the team’s playing style needs to be adapted to the current financial situation. "We’re not a buying club anymore, we’re more about development and bringing it all together in a package that suits the club," he said.
The news is likely to send shockwaves throughout the Premier League, with fans and players alike wondering what the future holds for Everton. Will the team be able to stay afloat financially, or will a takeover bid be the only solution? Only time will tell.
