Sean Dyche does not think sales are inevitable amid Everton financial pressure
Everton manager Sean Dyche does “not necessarily” believe he will have to sell players this summer to help the club with profitability and sustainability regulations.
The club have this season been deducted a total of eight points for two separate breaches accounting for the last four years and there remains a concern the problems could carry over into next season.
Having made a loss of £89.1million for the 2022-23 season – Premier League rules allow clubs to lose maximum of £105m over a three-year period – there is already talk of them having to make a big sale in the summer to offset any more issues.
With the proposed takeover of the club by 777 Partners still uncertain as it enters its eighth month, there is no clarity over what the financial position might be going forward.
Midfielder Amadou Onana, who arrived from Lille in a £33m deal two years ago, defender Jarrad Branthwaite – a £1m signing from Carlisle in 2020 – and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford represent the club’s most saleable assets but Dyche does not think it is inevitable one will have to go to balance the books.
“Not necessarily. There are obvious questions to be answered about the new ownership – possible new ownership might change things,” he said.
“There are a varied amount of things that have to go into the PSR, not just that scenario.”
