View: Farhad Moshiri misses out on another major windfall after Everton failure v Crystal Palace
Everton crashed out of the FA Cup on Sunday against Crystal Palace, missing out on a trip to Wembley next month.
The Toffees had the perfect chance to progress far in the competition after avoiding the Premier League top-six throughout.
Frank Lampard will be fuming, though, as the Toffees were embarrassed at Selhurst Park, losing 4-0.
After beating Newcastle, morale was sky high at Goodison Park, but now we will go into the international break down in the dumps.
Farhad Moshiri will also be left fumed by these developments.
The FA Cup is an instant way to bring in a big windfall to a club, with prize money frequently on the table for winners.
It has been shared by The Mirror this season that quarter-final winners would have earned £360,000 alone.
On top of that, the semi-final guaranteed money with £900,000 going to the winners and £450,000 to the losers on the day.
Lifting the FA Cup is also worth £1.8million, with the runners up getting 50% of that despite taking home no silverware.
On top of that, clubs split matchday revenues from games, meaning Moshiri and the Toffees have easily missed out on seven figures after this defeat.
Panic.
When does the fear start to set in at Goodison Park?
The Financial Fair Play rules have been hanging over our heads for quite some time and the additions of Nathan Patterson and Vitalii Mykolenko wouldn’t have helped.
We know that this windfall wouldn’t have helped massively from the FA Cup, but money coming in is far better than going out, and anything seven figures would be huge for Everton right now.
With all ties to Alisher Usmanov being cut too, things are not exactly looking up as things stand for the Blues.
Moshiri will have been praying for progression in the FA Cup, and it is hard to see another opportunity like this popping up anytime soon, but ultimately, it was wasted.
