This is what I’m mad / perplexed about. It’s fine if you have a load of money but we are absolutely strapped, cash flow wise. i get that you can’t completely ignore investing in youth, but 1) we seemingly have a manager who trusts experience over youth even if they both pulled off the same level of performance and 2) this is the most dire situation I’ve ever seen us in - this is worse than the 90s and earlier noughties. I have never seen Everton in two successive final day relegation battles (season before last was last home game) and we will be in a third. There’s just something fundamentally wrong with how they prioritise their signings.
