Will the Friedkin Group takeover mean additional funds in transfer market?

A look ahead to the windows under the new ownership at EFC.

Transcript

00:00Well, looking at Everton and obviously the freaking group takeover, now we've discussed

00:04a number of times the sort of key priorities that they have to do when they first come

00:09in and sort of the longevity of how long it's taken to sort this takeover. You know, the

00:16deal is done. What will it mean for January now? Obviously, a number of times Sean Dyche

00:21has spoken about the strict sort of conditions they've had in transfer windows. You know,

00:27they've obviously got four loan players in the summer, the most of any Premier League

00:31team and relying on free transfers and loan deals. What does it sort of mean for January

00:37and even looking ahead to the summer for Everton with these new owners?

00:42For January, Sean Dyche thinks that it doesn't mean a lot because Everton is still governed

00:47by profits and sustainability rules. Of course, they were hit with, you know, an eight-point

00:52deduction for two separate breaches last season. The rules are still the same. Clubs

00:59can only lose a total of £105 million over a three-year period and Everton have got to

01:05be careful when it comes to that again. So, the financial situation of the club is looking

01:10a lot better. I'm sure if the freaking group could go off and sign three, four players,

01:15then they would do. But I think there'll be a little bit of prudence as well going forwards

01:20and I don't think they'll be looking to splash the cash really. There'll be one signings

01:26that are going to improve the team for now and for the future. We've discussed it before,

01:32Sean Dyche's long-term future is up in the air as things stand. There's not too many

01:41people who expect him to end a new deal. So, will the freaking group want to go and spend

01:47so much money on a player who won't fit into Sean Dyche's style or won't be playing? Or

01:53do they look at this and think, well, let's spend a little bit less and get players in

01:58who can help this campaign? So, yeah, as I say, there's not going to be a load of money

02:05to spend. We've discussed the area of the pitch that Everton could do with improvements,

02:11a left, another left back and a real pacey right-sided forward would be high on the agenda.

02:20But it's whether Everton can get those in. Can they get the players? There's no loan spots,

02:28I don't think, available. So, these have to be looking at players who maybe clubs want a bit

02:33of a lower down payment for to help with PSR. So, a little bit frustrating for supporters,

02:38but I think they just have to accept that and hopefully the situation,

02:42the PSR situation gets better as time goes on.
