The Toffees haven’t spent a penny this transfer window and are the only team in the professional English leagues not to have brought in a player. Luckily they have one of the best managers in the country and an impressive first XI. Although desperately in need for investment, fans don’t need to be alarmed at this present moment, the club still have a squad capable to get them a top half finish, and with a decent start, possibly a Europa League place.
What fans do need to keep a tab on is the impending financial state, in an interview with Bill Kenwright, the chairman revealed that the club cannot borrow any more money from the bank, if that situation continues the club will not be able to pay off its debt and could fall into administration.
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, in the form of the young Ross Barkley, hailed the new “Rooney”, by Louis Saha, he has burst onto the scene at Goodison Park, catching the eyes of pundits and fans across the country, he is another example along with Rodwell that our academy can produce quality players and if it comes to it, they can be sold to cover the debts. But that will be a last resort.
It’s clear that Everton need investment, but the fans need not panic at the moment, the club have one of the best managers for the job and an experienced and capable squad of players. It’s the future that needs be planned for.
