What impact would relegation have on Everton?

I think we'd be closer to Leeds than an Aston Villa.

Our existing team would struggle to get out that league for the same reason we're struggling in the Prem. A dirth of attacking composure/talent.
 
Sponsorships reduced to about a quarter of what they are now, players without relegation clauses could bankrupt the club. Huge income losses even with parachute payments. A stadium to pay for, with very little money we would probably go into liquidation. Even if we survived that, 40% lay offs at the club of staff.

Do a google search for a piece done last season on the athletic. I can’t link it as it says its paywall and it isnt. titled what-relegation-would-mean-for-everton/

read this, then next time you think we would be better off getting relegated for a season or so, hit yourself with a heavy object.



relegation often leads to a reduction of between seven and ten-fold to the value of a shirt-front sponsor. The Athletic has been told of an example of another relegated Premier League side who saw the value of their shirt-front sponsorship deal decrease from £5 million per season to £850,000 a year in the Championship.

One Premier League club’s chief executive said his team’s brush with relegation prompted a contingency plan for associated redundancies. It was startling, with an estimate he would have had to make between 30-40% of their full time staff redundant. When they stayed up on the final day of the season, he breathed a sigh of relief that those painful conversations would be avoided.

“The financial penalty or loss as a result of relegation probably totals around £80 million in terms of lost revenue,” Wilson says. “They will go from £120 million or £130 million in prize money to parachute payments in the first year around £45 million. It’s £30 million in year two and £15 million in year three.

“You’re probably looking to sell most of your top earners,” suggests Dr Wilson. “There’s also what relegation does to the value of players — the ones in demand. The working theory is (their price falls) about 50 per cent. You’re under more pressure to sell.

I dread to think of the financial state the club are in / would end up being in. Imagine having the job of looking at that spreadsheet…

Squad wise:
All of our ‘assets’ (not that we have many) would go. Pickford, Onana, Gordon, grey, dcl , Godfrey. Then you’d be stuck with the rest of the deadweight that you either have to give away or loan out - not to mention players like gomes,Gbamin, Dele coming back in that would have to be moved on again.

Then to build a squad combining youngsters (simms/dobbin/Branthwaite/Patterson) with some of the senior players that might stick around…we can’t get rid of (McNeill/maupay/tarkowski/mykolenko).

If we come back up or not depends on who the manager is. I think we’d be in and around the playoffs tbh and we would turn into a leeds United.
 
Imagine trying to find top dollar stadium naming rights for BMD with the championship to springboard from.
This nightmare has more arms than an octopus.
 
Saddled with players on massive wages, the huge debt incurred in building the new stadium, a team not good enough to get out of the championship, in fact it's debatable if they're good enough to survive in the championship once Pickford and Coady have inevitably gone. In short, there is nothing good going to come out of relegation for us.
 

Every club in the Championship would be gunning for us. We'd have to have a fire sale of players, most of whom are on really high wages and there wouldn't be many takers for. I would expect us to use a lot of the players currently out on loan. Try to get up quickly and then likely to have to rebuild the squad in on summer. So with our track record, we'd go back down again the season after. To be honest, I would expect us to stay down for a while, with a few Play off heart breaks.

Thats one of the better senarios. Could see us going down and struggling.
