With the season coming to an end which players are going to be out of contract and of those who are going to be out of contract who would you want to keep. Obviously we haven't got the luxury of buying decent replacements.
In only asking this as I read DCL only has a year left on his contract. Is this going to go the same way as barkley where we will sell him in January for F all or are we going to let 1 of our only saleable assets go for free and be more in the crap.
{Ed002's Note - I would not have high expectations of significant additions with Everton having to clean up the financial mess they are in. They need to reduce the wage bill further and utilise the cheaper or free options available to them and utilise youngsters where they can. There will also be a need for the sale of players liked by the fans, such as Branthwaite. Leicester, Burnley and Leeds are open to negotiate a soultion to the concerns Everton have about being forced in to Administration which would see a further points deduction and financial constraints which could strangle the club. So a negotiate a solution makes sense - but it could hit the club very hard.
Everton have another eight players who are out of contract in the summer - Harrison (who will return to Leeds), Lonegan, Young, Coleman, Gueye, Dele Alli, Gomes and Danjuma (who will return to Villareal). They have an issue regarding the sale that needs resolving. There are another seven players who will be entering the last year of their contracts. Selling Onana would help them out as any loans or sale of part of the club would only help with the stadium they cannot now afford.}

I don't think we will be negotiating anything with Leicester burnley and Leeds.

Thought Leicester had already been charged for seem season as us and facing a points deduction upon their premiership return.
How can they have grounds. Puzzling.
{Ed002's Note - They were relegated.}

I'd keep dele and gomes if they were happy to sign a massively reduced contract.

Based on what Anom? Both Injury prone and cost us millions over last couple of seasons.
Not seen anything from either to suggest new contracts should be given apart from wishful thinking of they get back to their former selves.
Get rid of lot for me if the money is right. Needs must.

Get rid and start again, younger players from lower leagues we need to bin our current Team absolute tripe.

Are the championship clubs that missed out on promotion going to sue Sheff Utd Ed? They been charged and deductions in place for next season once confirmed back in EFL.
When does this madness stop? Will we be able sue City or Chelsea or others when they finally are dealt with. Massive can of worms and just don't see how they could.
{Ed002's Note - Clubs will seek settlements where appropriate. Everton will not be suing Manchetser City or Chelsea.}

And don't forget to bin Dyche as well ?.

Is the only way we are getting income into the club through selling players Ed02? No miracle buyer waiting in the wings to rush to our rescue?
If we sell Branthwaite and Onana, we’ll still have no squad or funds to buy players in with. Scary and worrying times to be an Evertonian.

Completing the 777 Partners deal is important and to be honest it seems not to be getting much closer due to funding converns and concerns over their ability to pass the Owners’ and Directors’ Test. The vultures will be circling already with a strong chance that Everton may need to seek Administration if the MSP loan cannot be paid on time.

I totally agree why would we negotiate anything, we don't have to pay these clubs, this is what the premiership is there for, break the rules you get punished either point, fine or a transfer ban, I'm sure it doesn't say every club a d his . ate who got relegated can fine you as well, that's a joke and I cannot ever see that standing up in any court of law.
{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with the clubs "fining" Everton but if legal action is threatened then Everton want to negotiate settlements.}
