If we go down it’s because we are one of the worst 3 teams in the league. I appreciate the financial ramifications of that but I don’t think it would bankrupt us as some have suggested. We’d get £50million for Onana plus £35 for Pickford. That alone covers the lost revenue from tv money. Plus their wages and Mina, Townsend, Davies, contracts ending saves a further £400k a week, which is £20 million a year. The fact there are several groups pursuing investment in Everton despite the prospect of relegation and a financial investigation tells us people with knowledge of running a football business believe they can make Everton a success.
I absolutely want us to stay up, but I think some of the predictions of dropping to league 1 or rotting in the lower leagues for years is possible but I think we’d be more likely to do what Villa or Newcastle did and come back up after 1 or 2 seasons.
