Everton's eye-watering weekly losses are revealed as TFG try to sell up

Everton's financial situation has again came under scrutiny on Sunday.

The Friedkin Group (TFG) have but Everton on the market, but won't be selling up unless they're confident the proposed buyer would take the club forward.

News of TFG's sale intentions shocked some but came as no surprise to others, but most Evertonians agree on the fact they want the Americans out.

All the while this off-field situation has been developing, it now looks as though the impact of the matter may be spilling on to the pitch.

David Moyes' side are now three Premier League games without a win, with their latest defeat coming in a 2-0 loss to Arsenal on Saturday.

So, with a strong start to the 2026-27 campaign now stalling, Everton's bleak financial reality has come to light as well.

What has The Esk said about Everton's loss-making situation?

Everton are a long-established Premier League club that's never been relegated from the top flight since its inception in 1992.

Because of this, some may believe that the Toffees are a club that will consistently be in the green financially.

That's not the reality of things, however, as brought to light by football finance expert The Esk, real name Paul Quinn.

Writing to his blog on Sunday, Quinn has revealed how much money it's estimated Everton are losing on a weekly basis.

"Given that Everton remains a loss making business (estimated at £1 million a week) and the debt levels detailed above I cannot see how the equity value of the club is greater than £250 million," he wrote.

But why is this simply not just a case of Everton selling players to raise money in an attempt to fix this?

Everton's financial chiefs need to start getting more creative

The problem here isn't so much that there's not enough money sitting in Everton's coffers.

If it were this, then this would be a problem that could largely and quickly be solved by cashing in on assets like they did with Iliman Ndiaye in the summer.

But even after that sale, which was widely reported to be worth £65m, Everton are still said to be losing around £1m per week.

So, this is a clear sign that some financial decisions, or lack thereof, aren't working/being made.

The wage bill could be trimmed and lower contracts offered, but that risks impacting the on-field product and goes against the Hill Dickinson Stadium-built ideology of being more competitive.

Then it's a case of can more be done off the pitch regarding the use of Hill Dickinson? Off-season concerts and sporting events could put Everton back in the green.
