Everton have endured a really rocky few years with a lot of uncertainty around their ownership.
Farhad Moshiri has been looking for a buyer for quite some time and during that process, The Toffees have fallen into hard times both on and off the pitch.
Everton have breached Profit and Sustainability regulations on two occasions which saw them docked eight points last season.
Remakbly, Sean Dyche managed to keep them well clear of relegation but this term, they’re finding it really difficult as they reside in 16th place, just three points above the drop zone.

Whilst they languish towards the bottom of the table, a fresh PSR twist has just emerged and it needs to be addressed by soon-to-be owner Dan Friedkin immediately.
Everton still have unresolved PSR issues
According to the Liverpool Echo, the PSR breach has left scars at Everton which need addressing by the Friedkin Group and there are still ongoing issues around the case.
“There has been a long-term impact too. The deduction has left a scar,” Matt Jones wrote.
“It has not only contributed to the worst-case-scenario mindset that has understandably engulfed the club in recent years, but any ‘highs’ the club have endured amid such turbulent times have been tinged by a worry that something bad might be coming down the tracks. After all, the first deduction was quickly followed by a second.”
Jones continued: “As things stand, Everton still have issues unresolved from their previous PSR case and while any ramifications from that are not expected to be as seismic as what happened a year ago, it’s still lingering in the background. That scar won’t start to heal until it is.
“A takeover and a subsequently stronger financial foundation feels like the only way to rid Evertonians of this angst. In addition to evolving the team, staff and board, putting any fiscal fears to bed quickly must be a priority for the Friedkin Group.”
Friedkin Group have a mounting list of problems to deal with
As well as the PSR scare, the Friedkin Group also have to deal with fan frustration towards Dyche, who’s being heavily criticized.
Everton fans have urged the club to sack Dyche in recent weeks as patience is beginning to wear very thin at Goodison Park.
So, they could be forced into making a managerial change as soon as they’re installed as the new owners – which is expected to be before the new year.
A telling few weeks lie ahead on Merseyside.
