given that we have to abide by profit and sustainability rules, Friedkin can’t just come in with an open checkbook and start splashing cash on players. We have to show balanced books. I expect not very much action in January unless we sell players. It will take time for the new owners to turn this ship around to reduce debt and intetest payments etc.

They can reduce debt and interest payments on day 1 if they want to. Whether they will remains to be seen.

The club needs new players in January and it's almost unfathomable to think Dyche will be wanted next season. Why would the new owners allow him to choose new players that the new manager will be lumbered with for the next four years? Hopefully they've already come to their decision to part ways with him, but whatever decision they make on that in the next 4-5 weeks will speak volumes about their ambition for the club.

….are we saying Dyche brings in new players at Everton?

If he is in charge of transfers he certainly deserves to be sacked.

If he brings big sponsors and increases revenue he could do exactly that, I don`t think he will but thoeretically he could.
 

I have no doubt TFG have looked at our debt and how it can be structured to permit some flexibility when it comes to profit and sustainability rules. The very least I expect from TFG is an economic model that works. Given the recent history of the club I do not believe the new owners would invest a lot of money to take over the club without a plan to meet the profit and sustainability rules but also allow them to improve the playing side. I expect the debt to be restructured, I expect a considerable improvement in our commercial side given we have a super duper new ground and these elements taken together will allow some freedom in the transfer market. Oh, and I expect them to sack Sean Dyche.
