Finance Expert shares Everton transfer verdict as bleak numbers emerges
We’re delighted to welcome football finance expert Dr Daniel Plumley as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Everton
Dan Plumley has insisted that Everton may still need to sell another couple of players before making any serious moves of their own this summer.
This is after a couple of years with limited spending already despite the big-money sales of Richarlison and Anthony Gordon in different windows.
The finance expert admitted that looking at the bleak numbers in Everton’s account, it will take up to five years to get back to a normal position again, including their transfer business.
“It certainly shows,” he exclusively told Goodison News.
“You can see the finances and we’ve all seen the numbers, from the outside looking in, the numbers are bleak from the accounts over the last three years, and yes they have made sales.
“Nowadays though, we know transfers are paid in instalments, so it’s not like they have that in the bank account straight away, so there is that to consider.
“Given the situation over the last three years, it is probably still the case that Everton need to sell a few as well. Despite the sales in recent years, there are still a couple more that need to go, and it’s not a quick fix at Everton given the nature of their finances.
“It’s a three-to-five year to progress back so it is not easy.”
This is the bleak reality facing Everton and Sean Dyche.
With constant links away for the likes of Jordan Pickford and Amadou Onana, it may not be long until some movement on the exit front, especially with transfers needed the other way.
