Whats he said ?

Get your coat on and get moving,coz we don't know the meaning of losing.

In a roundabout way.

Has anyone seen the latest Deloitte report on football finances?

It’s pretty distasteful when you consider the cost of kits, tv subscriptions and ticket prices but it’s the world we live in.

We come in at number 24 (above Roma at 27) - it’s quite stark that we generate approximately half the turnover of Aston Villa and are below Brighton.

Hopefully the new stadium will make a difference.

Whats he said ?

In summary, Everton plan to prioritise loan deals for the rest of January despite being hit by Jack Grealish’s stress fracture, which will sideline him for at least 12 weeks. The injury is a major setback but hasn’t changed the club’s cautious transfer approach, with Everton unwilling to make big January signings that could limit their summer plans or affect PSR.
The club believe they have enough cover in Grealish’s position through Tyler Dibling, Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil, so a direct replacement is unlikely. January is still viewed internally as poor value, with Everton preferring a slow, controlled rebuild.
Their main focus remains on signing a right-back, most likely via a loan. Striker options have been explored but are seen as difficult mid-season. A move for Fenerbahce’s Youssef En-Nesyri is considered unlikely, while interest in Callum Wilson has faded after West Ham blocked his exit and Everton hesitated to guarantee him a starting role. Brooke Norton-Cuffy is available from Genoa but only on a permanent deal of around £17m, which Everton are reluctant to pursue.
Potential loan moves for Joshua Zirkzee or Kobbie Mainoo have cooled, and while there is Championship interest in Tim Iroegbunam, Everton intend to block any outgoing transfers.

2026 report based on 24/25 figures though, so I would expect a reasonable leap now we’re in BMD, be very suprised if we don’t over take Brighton and significantly close the gap on AV despite their CL earnings.

You'd hope Norton-Cuffy on a loan with option could be negotiated.But that would probably depend on if there's interest from others.

Well if our team of world class operators can’t do it, it’s fair to say it’s impossible

Villa have had champions league football, I’d expect us with the new ground and new sponsorship deals, to be close to Villa in the next couple of year and over take them, depending on European qualification

He hasn’t a clue is my guess, funny he didn’t mention tammy Abraham who we definitely enquired about
Also I think we will be looking for another wide player, I doubt Moyes is happy with the 3 he has for the rest of the season

Thanks for this.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable to be fair but I hope the club realise that the current financial rules (PSR) change at the start of next season (SCR) so any talking of ‘banking’ headroom for the summer needs to be carefully considered.

*Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) represent a shift in Premier League financial regulation.
While PSR allowed for a maximum loss of £105m over a three-year period, SCR replaces this (starting 2026/27) with a cap on spending - wages, transfers, and agent fees—at 85% of revenue.

Will be interesting to know what our SCR is at the moment. As it wasn’t that long ago we had well over 90% of our turnover going on wages etc

It goes to show how poorly our club has been run over the years when relatively newly promoted clubs with a smaller average gate compared with our ever present record, are generating more revenue. Yes Villa have been in the champions League, but we should never be below the likes of Brighton in the financial stakes.

I would imagine, given the turnover rose by €32m, that it will skyrocket for the next one.

From ticket prices, sponsorships, increase in premium, id be shocked if we arent pushing top 15.

Edit: Top 17. Didn't realise how high top 15 were.
