Everton are continuing to make some canny decisions to boost their squad cost ratio situation.

The Toffees know all too well the potential ramifications of falling foul of financial parameters.

Back in the 2023/24 campaign, Everton were hit with two separate points deductions for breaches of Profit and Sustainability Rules.

PSR has now been replaced by SCR, and while the acronyms may have changed, the need to comply with financial rules remains.

Premier League clubs are taking steps to boost their commercial and sponsporship revenues, which in turn enhances their spending power in terms of transfer fees and wages.

Everton have announced a new Hill Dickinson Stadium first on Friday, which may provide another boost in terms of their income at the state-of-the-art venue.

Goodison News reported how Everton's a new front-of-shirt sponsor, coupled with a shirt-sleeve sponsor should boost the coffers by £25million.

They later announced British watch brand Christopher Ward as its first-ever official training kit partner.

Those moves are a sign of the intent from the club to keep looking at opportunities to raise revenue further.

Now, it was announced on Everton's official website that the Hill Dicksinson Stadium will be hosting a drive-in cinema experience called "Movies on the Mersey".

The event will take place over August Bank Holiday (29-31 August), with popular big-screen films such as "Mamma Mia!", "Finding Nemo", "Back to the Future", and "Grease" will be shown on giant LED screens.

Vehicles will be charged £30 per ticket, while anyone attending without a vehicle can pay £15 to sit on a designated lawn area.

Food and drink outlets will also be available throughout the weekend.

What is SRC and why is it important to Everton?

The good news is that PSR is going. The bad news is that there is still a fine line to tread with the new SCR regulations.

Essentially, from this season, clubs will now have their outgoings on player-relate costs checked against any incomings from football-related revenue, as well as profits or losses from player sales.

Teams in the Premier League are permitted to spend 85 per cent of revenue on their squads, but only financial penalties will be applied for those in the 85 to 115 per cent marker.

However, anyone going above that threshold will be slapped with a points deduction.

For Everton, though, it is smart business to making the most of these commercial opportunities at their lavish Hill Dickinson Stadium venue.

Any decision where the coffers will be boosted is beneficial to the long-term financial health of the club, and to David Moyes' budget.
