Tuesday’s Toffee Bites: Everton need to re-think their transfer policy

Everton have to learn how to play with the big boys. On the pitch, they are ways away from clubs like Manchester City and cross-city rivals Liverpool. However, the Toffees have a bank account that comes close to meeting some of the richest clubs in Europe. They can afford to bring in the best and the brightest, but some things have to change.

What, exactly, the changes should be is what remains a mystery. Sam Allardyce will likely be the first to go, but that’s not much of surprise. Beyond that, who is at fault for Everton continuing to spin its wheels this season? So much money spent, and yet it’s highly unlikely that the team does any better than seventh place, which is right where they finished 2016-17. The coaching staff? Steve Walsh? The board? Fans want, and deserve, answers.

It should all make for quite an interesting summer ahead.
