(The Guardian) Everton: Having had their points deduction for a breach of profit and sustainibility rules reduced from 10 to six points this week, Everton are now five points clear of the relegation zone ahead of their home match against West Ham tomorrow. While the respite is welcome, Everton are without a win in nine Premier League games and have taken just five points from the past 27 available to them.

“We have to get it right, especially against teams like West Ham coming up here,” said Sean Dyche ahead of the game. I think we have to go into the game in the right state of mind and I think we are in the right place as a team. We need to find those defining moments and they become ever-important when you haven’t been winning.”

Everton have been struggling to score. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has gone 20 games without a goal, while back-up striker Beto has bagged just one in 21 league appearances, most as a substitute.

“It is about finding different ways of creating chances but I think we have done that considerably well over the season,” said Dyche. “The moment of truth is someone putting it in the net. The players know that and they don’t need reminding about it from me every day. And you can still score from set-pieces and we have been strong at that. They know where it’s at but it is our responsibility to keep getting the team to forge the chances and the higher quality chances give you an easier opportunity to score.”
 
Hopefully they stay up, the Prem without Everton just doesn't seem right! Now the Prem without United... :)
 
trade the Manc scum for the Lancashire glory!
Don't worry, we'll give you Goodison Park that godawful blue dump next door to Anfield.
 
I love them as a company and what they do, and being Bolton-based, but that name...oh geez.
But think..

(The Guardian) Here’s some news of Everton’s takeover. Strictly speaking the news is that there’s no news but there should be news soon. -- A decision from the Premier League board on whether to accept 777 Partners’ prospective takeover of Everton is set to be made next week.

Meetings between 777 and the Premier League took place last week, resulting in final questions being put to the prospective Everton owner, which provided its response. Further meetings were held at the start of this week before the matter was sent to the Premier League board to make the final decision. Everton’s financial future could be in jeopardy if the proposed takeover is not approved.

A deal was agreed for the American company to buy the club from Farhad Moshiri in September but the league’s investigation has taken longer than anticipated. One issue has been the complex nature of 777 Partners’ business interests, which has made the league’s due diligence process longer than usual as it investigates the company. The Financial Conduct Authority has given its approval for the deal and the Football Association also passed it.
