Being reported we will accept bids of over £40 million for DCL, is this value about right.
{Ed002's Note - Everton really need assured sales by June 30 and clubs will know that.}
08 Apr 2024 12:36:21
Looks like big changes are coming concerning our current Team.
08 Apr 2024 12:37:19
What a mess.
We need to sell players to raise funds, therefore we need to get the best prices available, however if we need guaranteed sales before 30th June which other clubs will be aware of that which automatically weakens our negotiating position!
Just hope that whomever we do sell (likely Onana and DCL) there are a couple of interested parties to help us get a reasonable fee for them.
08 Apr 2024 12:53:02
Looks like our Team as we know it will be no more, maybe getting rid and hopefully finding replacement players from the lower leagues will help us move on, could be a blessing in disguise.
{Ed002's Note - Certainly the club have been scouting a replacement for Jarrad Branthwaite. I think there will be a lot of departures in the summer.}
08 Apr 2024 12:53:29
Surely we can't get anywhere near £40 million for him now?
That was the reported fee back when he was actually scoring goals. That was years ago now, the lad is older and scoring a much lower rate.
Realistically, which teams would be after him that could offer that sort of money?
08 Apr 2024 13:13:48
On the plus side, he’s been fit and playing for a while now. He still had the attributes that managers will be looking for. I would think 25 million would be more realistic.
08 Apr 2024 13:14:30
If we get £40 for him before 30th June that would be great business. I would imagine Onana, Branthwaite and Pickford will follow. Then what? We will have no sellable assets at all, so just delaying the inevitable.
08 Apr 2024 13:23:39
Get rid of the lot. We need a reset needs must.
We won't be only club facing this if various reports are correct on PSR.
08 Apr 2024 13:52:45
Yep wouldn't surprise me at all if looking at League Table and say to themselves let's give them -4 PTS, in the hope of keeping all clubs happy and us not moaning with it still being in our hands albeit game in hand against the Reds.
Said for a while this season relegation will be decided in a court room not a football pitch. Ridiculous and expect more of the same not season with possibilities of more clubs involved and both ends of the table.
It's not football, it's who foots the bill!
08 Apr 2024 13:59:35
Think if DCL proves his fitness and scores a couple more, one of the midtable sides would think about 30m+, shame but we'd have to take it. Branthwaite and Onana will bring in some cash. Hopefully we can stay in the prem and get a young hungry squad built to recover. Can't see who'd buy Pickford though.
08 Apr 2024 14:17:10
I would take 40 Mill for DCL but he will go for less, Onana and Branthwaite should go as well. 10-12 weeks to reduce our losses a fing mess. Need a decision on take over as well.
08 Apr 2024 13:17:29
Thanks Ed.

Ed02. Do you know a ball park figure of funds that need to be raised?
I've tried to keep well away from and the debt, points deduction saga but I remember seeing a figure of around 85m to 90m loss. So should we be expecting to make around that in sales?
Assume onana branthwaitte Pickford will have to go and be replaced with players out of contract and on lower wages.
I really don't see the point of us playing next season. We may as well just accept relegation.
{Ed002's Note - The year end figure for June may well see Everton needing to raise something like £80M to avoid a further charge. I would expect Branthwaite and Onana to be made available. Additionally, they will possibly need to sell to add players and have been looking at up and coming CBs as an example.}

Fat Chris phase 2 of my prediction for the Dyche era. Turns us into a team full of hard 6'6 turds and we bully ourselves to survival ala Stoke circa Pulis 1st 2 years. Everyone worth a bid is for sale at anything that sorts the bank balance. Expect around £120m for Onana and Branthwaite. Expect Pickford to maybe go Germany or stay as I can't see any EPL side needing him but he's surely worth close to £20m and can be replaced. Retire the old units and get Coleman in the coaching team. Goofball is going to be the order of the day. Get those season tickets ?.
08 Apr 2024 17:27:45
20m for Pickford is a joke mate. He's the established England No1 and, bar the occasional rush of blood to the head, has been more consistent than ever the last 2 seasons. I'd expect a lot more for him tbh mate.
08 Apr 2024 18:29:57
If we can sell Onana for £60m+ and try and offload some wages then we might sell some other outcasts for £20m….
09 Apr 2024 17:10:43
Thanks Ed. Worrying times.
FBS. I think the times of stupid transfer fees are gone. Look how much got spent in January. I don't think we will get anywhere near 120m for branthwaitte and onana. Maybe the cira 90m figure. We still need to clear more of the none playing senior players but I imagine they will go on frees or loans.
