£200,000-a-week Dele Alli development emerges at Everton amid ‘scandalous mismanagement’
There’s been no mention of Dele Alli being back at Everton on wages closer to £200,000-a-week in Friday’s 42-page financial annual report, according to Daily Mail journalist Ian Herbert.
The Toffees midfielder is currently on loan at Super Lig club Besiktas but has been told he has no future in Turkey, and has been left out of their match-day squad in recent weeks, with his future at Goodison Park also looking bleak beyond this season.
Everton revealed their accounts for the year ending June 2022 on Friday [31 March] a season where the club narrowly escaped relegation and showed the club lost a total of £44.7m.
And Herbert, writing in his column for the Daily Mail [4 April] criticised Farhad Moshiri’s leadership of the club, he said:
“Of course, Friday’s 42-page annual report did not tell the full story of Moshiri’s scandalous mismanagement of one of our nation’s legendary clubs.
“There was no mention of the absence of relegation clauses in most of their players’ contracts. No mention of Dele Alli being back at the club this summer, on wages closer to £200,000 a week than £100,000, after his release by Besiktas.”
Scandalous
Everton are in real financial peril right now and that can only be further heightened by Alli’s current situation which has led many to think why the club wasted money on a player who was in decline long before his move to Goodison Park, and a future fee of a huge £40m.
Just look at the club’s accounts to check how disastrous their spending from last season has been and if the Toffees suffer relegation this season, then their financial ruin could be compounded even deeper, especially given the cost of their proposed new stadium.
Moshiri has known to be an incompetent owner, but these financial statements reveal that the problem is not entirely blamed on him, but on those at the top as a whole.
The entire boardroom needs to be changed immediately if there are any hopes of Everton going to the next level, which certainly looks unlikely right now.
If they can’t even sort themselves out, how are they supposed to sort out the future of Alli and the rest of the Everton players who are on huge wage packages? Scandalous.
