Everton ready to sell three first-team players for the right price but there’s a problem

Everton’s past horrors in the transfer market are what has made the club the mess it is today.

Ravaged by big names on long, lucrative contracts, it was these missteps which brought PSR to the Goodison Park doorstep, seeking to punish the Toffees for their financial mismanagement.

Few disputed the accusations, but what was scrutinised was the punishments that followed.

Two separate points deductions in one Premier League season. Kevin Thelwell was never going to let this happen again.

However, in his effort to raise funds this summer, he seems to keep stumbling upon the same problem, again forged by his incompetent predecessors.
