That's going to weigh like an anchor for the next two years. We have to turn a profit for that period somehow, which is hard when you're starting from a position of bleeding red ink.
We have no debt though. It’s not as bad as it sounds when you consider how much we’ve been spending. I’d be more worried if it was 100m of debt etc. Still not good however but I’d say those losses will be dramatically reduced in the next 2 years
 
Everyone can see we are a work in progress, we have managed to snare our first world class signing in Ancelotti and hopefully with him on board others will follow which will allow us to abandon the scattergun approach of old. Soon as we do that the accounts will start looking a lot better.

Everton are set to announce record losses in the region of £110million — but have not flouted Premier League profit and sustainability rules.
The exact figure will be confirmed at tonight’s general meeting and reflects a 13-month period between May 2018 and June of last year.
The inclusion of an extra month in the accounts is, in one instance, because Everton want to align with when players’ contracts end [June 30] and means the losses are higher than they would be over the standard year-long assessment.
Premier League clubs are not allowed to lose more than £105 million over a three-year period under the current guidelines and Everton still come under that threshold. They made a £30 million profit in 2017 and then a £13 million loss in 2018.
The three-year, aggregate loss of about £95 million means the club must be mindful of profit and sustainability moving forward.

Importantly, Everton’s net debt is understood to have decreased by more than £50 million. It was £65.7 million in 2018, according to previous accounts, but is now believed to be under £10 million.
It is unclear before the meeting whether that is as a result of further investment from the billionaire owner Farhad Moshiri. The losses highlight the extent of player trading under Moshiri, with the likes of Richarlison, Lucas Digne, Yerry Mina, Bernard and Andre Gomes (on loan) recruited in the period under review for about £100 million. Everton recouped some of that outlay by selling Davy Klaassen, Nikola Vlasic and Ramiro Funes Mori.
The loss would also be more palatable if the club had established itself in the Premier League’s upper-reaches on the back of such spending and not just changed manager for the fourth time since 2016. Carlo Ancelotti replaced Marco Silva last month and the Italian will look to make significant additions to the current squad himself at some point.

Academy costs and expenses for running the community programme can also be subtracted from the overall loss figure. Costs for the proposed new stadium at Bramley Moore cannot be offset until the club have received planning permission for the venture, with a decision likely by the summer.
A full picture will emerge at the meeting, but there is a need for Everton to regularly qualify for Europe through their league position. Further commercial growth is another requirement.
In a recent interview with the Financial Times, the billionaire tycoon Alisher Usmanov, a long-term business partner of Moshiri, raised the prospect of their company, USM, paying for naming rights for the planned new ground on the banks of the River Mersey. That would provide a significant financial boost to the Goodison Park club.
 

Haven’t got a clue about this side of the game, but scared by this

Even if we got into Europa, wouldn’t we get Milan’d?
 
We need to get the following off the books permanently by the end of the summer window:

Bolasie £90k a week
Besic £40k a week
Tosun £70k a week
Schneiderlin £100k a week
Niasse £60k a week
Martina £50k a week
Keane £60k a week
Walcott £100k a week
Sigurdsson £140k a week
Sandro £120k a week
Stekelenburg £30k a week
